15 Lyraina

"Oh my god I can't take his no more I feel like I'm going to die." She says dramatically. I think I found the perfect career for Lyra, an actor. In her response she wasn't quite lying the sun is not our friends today it feels like I'm toasting in an oven. The gym coach is making us jog around the track four times for our physical, it's exhausting really. Most of the kids are sprinting it through so they can go relax, but of course Lyra has to take her sweet time and me being the greatest friend in the world is running at the same pace as her so she can be with somebody.

Ironic huh Lyra loves the attention on her, but when it comes to P.E she never wants to be last place so we are last place together. I honestly could have been done minutes ago it's not that hard and long. 30 minutes later we finally finished and I decided to walk over to the fountain to get some nice cold water. I know they say that the water fountain water isn't necessary healthy, but in this case, I'd drink rain water I'm so thirsty.

I lean over the fountain to let the cool water dance its way into my mouth. Oh my god this is best day ever water really does taste different when you are thirsty. I hear voices behind me rather familiar voices I turn around to see Myers and Jack laughing at me.

"Ha ha what's so funny?" I ask crossing my arms.

"You're so weak!" Jack yells out following up with a laugh as Myers joins in.

"The only weak person around here is your girlfriend." I rebuttal back to him as he stops his laughing. Myers ohhs at him. Guess I got the last laugh. I turn around and walk back down to the track to see Lyra sprawled on the ground mumbling to herself. I kneel down to her and look at her. Beads of sweat drip down her face as her eyes are kind of open. She is so dramatic.

"Lyra get the hell up!" I semi scream at her as she flairs one of her arms at me letting me know she getting up anytime soon. I know what will get her up.

"Lyra Jack is coming this way." I tell her. She springe's up and starts to get herself situated she never wants to look bad in front of Jack. To my sheer luck Jack was actually coming over with Myers to us.

"Lyra babe you look magnificent." He ogles his eyes at her as she blushes bright red. I poke her cheeks and she swat my hand away I then silently chuckle to myself.

"Really you think so I mean I just ran a mile few minutes ago and I don't feel bad, unlike Quinn over hear talk about a drag." She says to Myers and Jack as they look at the ground in awkwardness. My jaw drops to the ground in shock I know she didn't just say that. No more than 5 minutes ago she was face first on the track ground. I keep my mouth shut; I'll get her back just wait.

We talk about a bunch of nonsense stuff then Jack brings up Myer's an I's date tonight I should have saw this coming.

"I have honestly been waiting for Myers to ask you out Quinn we would all make one hell of a double date, right babe?" He says to us then directs the last part to Lyra. She nods in response to him; gosh this is awkward. I look up at the sky and try not to looks so... Soo scared.

"Me and Quinn will never double date with you guys you're too crazy isn't that right Quinn?" Myers says.

"Got that right!" I respond to Myers.

Before Lyra and Jack could rebuttal back our coach was calling us into the building.

Before we went back into the building I pulled Myers over to the side. Lyra and Jack wouldn't miss us they were too busy in their own world.

"Look I'm sorry about my grandpa he can be overprotective sometimes." I tell him hoping he wouldn't be done with me.

"It's alright grandfathers have to be protective over their granddaughters."

"Oh thank god I thought you would be like scared to see me again or something."

"No nothing can take me away from you."

"See you guys later, bye." Me and Lyra say to the boys as we head into the building.

Heading into the locker room we take a quick shower and throw on our clean clothes. I throw my backpack on my shoulder and lean against the lockers waiting for Lyra to put on her strappy wedges, she's so complicated sometimes.

"Lyra look around you everyone is gone." I pan my hands around to indicate to her that we are alone.

"Harlequin let me give you a piece of advice here, everyone knows that the shorter time you take to get ready the uglier you look." She says in a sure tone. I swear sometimes.

"You are really something Lyraina Ramone Berkeley." I tell her as I walk out the locker room. Before the door shut, I hear her scream at me never to say her full name again. She hates her first name. To her it sounds like Hydrangea which is a flower. Got her boys.

The bell rings letting us know schools out. Hundreds of kids rush past me to race out the building, gosh is this place really that bad? I shake my head and proceed to walking to my car. Before I began to pull out, I get a call from Grandfather, he usually doesn't call me when I get out of school, I hope everything is alright.

[on the phone conversation]

Q: Hey grandfather are you OK?

G: Yeah, I'm fine just wanted to check and see that everything is going Ok with you.

Q: Oh, everything is fine I just got out of school.

G: Wonderful Wonderful I won't be home until tomorrow so make sure you lock the doors when you go home and call me if anything is wrong.

Q: You know I will and call me if anything goes wrong where you are.

G: I've got you on speed dial honey hey I got to go the boys are trying to take my chips.

Q: Alright have fun bye.

G: bye.

I hang up the phone and pull out the drive way. I haven't been to work in days I wonder how business is going. To be honest we have lots of customers come in during the week just not on the same day. Ida is the best boss I've ever had she's funny and understanding too. Bosses that I had in the past wanted me to work all these weird hours for low pay just insane. It's kind of nice because besides me working there it's a woman named Claire, but she works in the morning and me who works in the afternoons. If business Is really slow Ida would just run the store herself. Speaking of Ida I pull into the parking space to see Ida wiping down the glass windows. I told her that I would do it myself I don't like her doing that last time she did it her hip almost broke from falling on the concreate slab.

Thank you so much for reading this chapter!
