Chapter 22 Its A Boy Girl Thing!
Claire's P.O.V
'I don't get it' Shane sighs as he laid down on his bed, Shane usually climbs the tree that stands almost in the middle of our houses, so that's his way of making it to my bedroom window, or shall I say...his bedroom window.
'Your not listening to me' I pointed out.
'I just don't understand why we have to learn these things' He says.
'Shane its poetry, its really simple' I told him.
'Claire if this was simple, I would understand it by now' He said, he grabbed his football and started throwing it in the air and catching it again.
I sighed and put my head in my hands 'Shane please can you just try a bit harder? This interview means everything to me'
Shane stopped throwing his football and sat up 'I'm sorry, Its just we haven't actually played football at all this week and we have been learning poetry everyday of this week'
I stared at him before getting up and putting my shoes on, Shane frowned at me 'Claire what are you doing?'
'Your right' I said simply.
'What?' He asked.
'I'm not being fair, we both have important things in our lives right now and we've only been focusing on mine' I say.
Shane shot up 'So we can play football?'
I smile 'Yeah, come on'. Shane bounced off the bed and grinned at me, I don't think I've ever seen him so happy before, seeing him like that made me smile.
The whole way to the field Shane had a huge grin on his face, and he talked so passionately about football and his previous games. I was actually interested in his stories. When we finally arrived Shane spun around and faced me.
'So the first thing I'm going to teach you is the rules of the game' Shane told me, I sighed as I listened to him, he even demonstrated some of the rules for me, just so I really understood what he was talking about. Finally after about half an hour of him talking and me repeating his every word, Shane decided to actually let me try to play football.
'So you sure you understand everything?' Shane asked me.
'Shane please, you know I understand what your saying. Can I just at least hold the ball?' I asked him.
'Do you know how to hold the ball?' He questioned me, I sighed and glared at him which made me burst out laughing.
'I'm joking Claire, calm down' He smiles, the sound of a group of people not far away was heard and Shane turned to face them.
'Claire can we go somewhere else? I know a really good place to go' Shane tells me, as he grabs my arm.
I was expecting another field that no one really went on anymore, but Shane really did surprise me. He had leaded us to this beautiful lake with two huge tree that stood watching over it.
'Shane this place is beautiful' I smile as I looked around.
'Its great right?' He asked me as he grabbed hod of my arm again and leaded me near the lake.
'Right, so first, we are going to work on your strength and your reaction' He tells me as he moves in front of me, facing the tree.
'What are you doing?' I asked him.
'I'm going to push out of your grip and then throw the ball, your going to then catch the ball and use your strength when I get out of your grip ok?' He asked me.
'What do you mean, "when you get out of my grip?" I didn't think football was about that' I said.
'Look we are both just trying to get you to use your strength properly and get you used to catching a ball' He told me.
'I can catch a ball!' I argue as he moves around me.
'Whatever, this is what's going to happen. I'm going to hold the ball out and your also going to hold the ball but from behind me, understand?' He asked me.
I stared at him 'No I don't understand, Shane your not making sense'
Shane sighed and moves behind me, 'Hold the ball out' He orders and I do exactly as he says.
'Now you are going to go behind me, just like this' Shane explains as he stands behind me, 'And put your arms around like this to hold the ball' He moves his arms around me and grabs hold of the ball. I stood there awkwardly not really knowing what to do, Shane was practically hugging me from behind, except for the fact that we were both holding a ball
'Ok' He says as he moves his hands away and then walks in front of me. He takes the ball from my hands and holds it in front of him.
'Now grab the ball' He demands. I sigh and roll my eyes as my arms moves around him and grabbed the ball. It was weird because It was only now I really noticed how small I was compared to Shane, his body practically enveloped mine.
'Right so now I'm going to try and get out of your grip, ready?' He asks me, and he then starts to move around trying to get out of my grip.
But then something happened.
'Wait, what is that?' Shane asked me.
'What? I asked him. Shane moved away from me and looked down.
'Seriously?' He asked me, and I looked down too.
'Well its your body' I said.
'Your the one in it' He pointed out.
'I don't know how to control these things' I said.
'Well you know getting a boner must mean that you are attracted to me' He smirks.
'Actually it means that you are attracted to me, but I'm not getting into this argument with you' I told him.
'Well whatever, just be careful with that thing ok?' He asked me. I sighed as I got myself prepared for Shane to throw the ball.
One thing I am happy about is that me and Shane can actually get along, and I think that if we carry on like this then maybe he can even succeed in passing the interview. I like this side of Shane, its the first time I've seen him seem so happy and passionate about something before, its nice too see him like this. Its makes me like him even more.
