Hey, Y'all here's another update.
Chapter 8
Peggy's POV
"Oh hey it's 3:00, I've got to go. Bye Laff, bye Herc," I say, getting up and walking out the door to go to the track meet.
I get on the bus and go to the meet. Once I get there I set down my bags and go sit by Miria, who is one of my best friends. We are running the Mile Relay together.
"Hey," I say sitting down because we have a while until we run.
"Hey," she replied smiling.
"Are you ready to run?" I ask.
"Yeah, but I'm nervous. How are you holding up? Hurc and Laff said you where nervous." She asks.
"I'm doing better now than this morning. I'm just worried I'll fall in front of everyone. Including John." I add the last part softer so that other nearby girls won't hear it.
"Ohhhhhh that's why no wonder. Y'all have been dating for a while now, he wouldn't care. He would probably just jump from the stands to make sure you were okay." She says this with a little giggle, and then my phone buzzes.
"Oh hey, its a text from John aweeeeeee," It said.
Hey Pegs, good luck at your meet. I'll be there to watch the Mile Relay. Also, I'm taking you to a special place afterword, and your sisters, Alex, Laff, Hurc, and Miria can come
I show the text to Miria, she gasps and says "aweeeee this is adorable. I wonder where he'll take you." She leans back into the grass and sighs. I lay down next to her and say.
" Do you think he loves me."
"Wow, I did not expect to hear that. But, yeah actually, I think he does. Do you love him." She asks me.
"Yeah I think I do, but were so young and what if I'm wrong," I ask.
"Hmmmm, I think that you should follow your heart like Eliza does. Maybe you really do love him. Age is just a number, and love is love no matter what."
"That is the most mature thing you have ever said."
"I know right, but seriously if you love him tell him." She says this hugging me."
"Thanks, Miria, it means a lot. So, what should we name our kids." I say looking at her and giggling she gives me a wide-eyed look like she knew fifty different names, and knew what their children should be named. "I'm kidding."
"Awe, darn I think you should go with Miria and John but whatever." We giggle together and then I gasp.
"Oh my gosh, I forgot to text John back." I quickly pick up my phone and text John.
Okay cool, I can't wait. Thank you. I miss
"Oh hey we should probably get to the starting line, I think that was the first call," I say to Miria. We turn and walk to the starting line. After doing our warm-ups we walk out to the line. Miria runs third and I run last.
"Runners set," BANG! The gun fires and our first person takes off, then the second, and then Miria.
"GO MIRIA," We all cheer. "GO GO GO!" She passed the person in second place. I took my place on the line and got ready to go. Miria was nearing me. I reset my footing. She gets to me, and I start off sprinting, desperate to catch the person in first place. I run fast and push myself. Oh my gosh, I'm so tired, but I have to just pass her. Almost, there. I will my faster and I pass the girl with a 150 to go. I will myself to go even faster, and cross the finish line at full speed.
"Peggy you did it I'm so proud of you," said Miria hugging me, still huffing and puffing.
"Thank you," I manage to gasp out.
"Peggy oh my gosh that was amazing!" It was John running across the field at full speed. "We won the meet!" I go to meet him and collapse into his arms, blacking out.
Tehehe, sorry a bit of a cliffhanger. Thank you for all of the love you have given the story! Please review!
