CHAPTER TWO:

We walked up Landon's driveway and I shivered, it was a five minute walk and I could see my breath by the time we got there.

"Crap, you're cold."

"I am not. I'm fine," I shook my head.

"You're a convincing liar, Char," he complemented me, "but your body language gives you away," he smiled.

I looked at my crossed arms and the goose-bumps on them... so maybe I was a little cold. "I can't help that I'm warm-blooded."

He shrugged out of his black varsity soccer jacket and held it out for me to take.

"No..." I protested, "Landon, you'll freeze."

"Yeah, so will you. Take it."

I took it, and mumbled a thanks as I put it on, the tips of my fingers barely poked out of the ends of the sleeves.

His jacket was warm, and it smelled good.

I shrugged my hair out of the hood and looked around at the guys.

I saw my neighbors Andrew, Josh, and Morgan. I also saw my sister Hope, and her two best friends, Sarah and Caitlin, ready to play. Only one team was immediately obvious, we played in partners, but I didn't know if Landon would shrug me off now that he was with his friends. Hope and Sarah would be partners, they've always been best friends. Besides that, I wasn't sure until a warm arm wrapped around my waist, making my heart jump, and I heard Landon's voice.

"I call Charlotte here, she jumped from a two-story window and didn't make a sound." I blushed and hid my face in his jacket, I didn't expect him to tell everybody.

"I think she can choose for herself then, can't she?" Josh spoke up. "I want her on my team too."

"Nope." Landon said, "I went and got her, so she's on my team." He stepped behind me and placed both arms around my waist, his chin on top of my head.

"Fine, then I get Andrew,"Josh said, picking his identical brother.

"Gee, thanks," Andrew commented sarcastically.

Sarah paired up with Hope, and Morgan and Caitlin were partners. Landon held his ground and we were partners still.

Sarah and Hope volunteered to go first and we ran to hide in the yard.

We made it to the fence and Landon, being a six-foot-three junior, jumped right over it. I stopped at the side, being a five-foot-four sophomore, and stared at him. He sighed as I rolled my eyes, he reached over the fence and grabbed my waist, instructing me to brace my leg against the side. I did as I was told, kicking lightly off the ground, and he lifted me up and over, placing me in front of me.

"Thanks..." I whispered, trying not to sound too breathless.

He smirked and took my hand, leading me around the back. There was I line of trees and he brought me over to them, laying on the ground, he pulled me down with him. The grass was wet with dew and I couldn't help but notice how close we were, and I hoped to God that he couldn't hear my heartbeat.

I heard the footsteps of our seekers and I quickly pulled my hair out of its ponytail, letting it fall in front of my face and around my shoulders. Landon's hand rested on my back, a silent reminder to shut-up and be still.

I froze and watched them carefully, knowing that they would see the light reflecting off of my eyes if I looked directly at them.

I brought my legs up under me and crouched...

Just one more step...
