The forest got darker with every step I took.
Okay, Matt said the footballs were going to be near the left. Okay, Let's see. I looked around. Nothing. I looked behind the trees and under the bushes. Nothing.
I even moved chunks of mud to look. Nothing.
Ugh! I can't anything here!
I kept on remembering the aims that I made. "Be friends with Matt even if it kills you," I repeated it to myself.
All my clothes were wet with mud and I still hadn't found any footballs. I sighed, but then I heard something from behind. I looked back to see a football floating on some mud.
I smiled to myself.
Finally.
Without thinking, I ran to get the ball and I slipped, landing in a big pile of mud. I screamed. All my clothes were covered in mud. And even my hair.
Tears built up in my eyes. No, it's just mud CeCe. It's just mud.
Ten minutes later, I found the rest of the footballs and made my way to the field to show them. I could see them playing. When they saw me, everyone laughed. Even Hans. I felt hurt but when I looked at Matt and how happy he looked, I couldn't help but smile.
"Be friends with Matt even if it kills you," I whispered to myself.
"CeCe, what happened?" Hans asked, looking at me from head to toe.
I sighed. "You don't want to know."
I looked at Matt. "Here.are.your.precious. footballs." I said in a stern voice. I couldn't help but get a bit mad. He smiled.
"Thanks." He took the bag of footballs and gave them to Hans. "Come on. We're done here." Hans said.
I nodded.
Everyone went.
I went to pick my bag up from the side of the fence.
"Why did you do that for me?" I looked back to see Matt looking at me weirdly.
I shrugged. "I deserved it for the way I treated you."
Matt raised an eyebrow. "Really?" I smiled.
"Really." I was about to go when Matt stopped me.
"The things I said to you earlier... I don't understand why you would-" I interrupted him.
"Matt, to be honest, you've been a massive ass since I met you."
Matt frowned.
I smiled. "But you are Han's cousin so I don't hate you." I walked away. He quickly walked and caught up to me. "So if I wasn't Han's cousin you would hate me?"
"Yep." I smiled.
He stopped.
I looked back.
He looked stressed and uncomfortable, he was looking down. Oh, Shoot! What am I saying? I'm supposed to be making him feel good.
Be friends with Matt even if it kills you, I thought.
I sighed. "I was kidding." He looked up.
It took him a while to understand and then he smiled.
"Come on, let's go," I said.
After reaching my room, I instantly ran to have a shower so that I won't get caught by dad for hanging outside and going in the forest area or else I would be dead
〜
After having a refreshing shower I went to bed, to sleep so that I could wake up early for school. Ugh, I hate school timings. It was better in the US, the school used to start a bit late.
Oh well, can't do anything...I was thinking of random things when suddenly my phone rang.
I saw the name is displayed on the screen.
It was my mum.
I was in no mood to talk to her so I turned my phone in silent mode but then I was getting distracted with again and again phone screen displaying calls.
So, in the end, I switched off my phone and drifted in deep sleep...zzz
