Okay. Keep calm. This is big. She's actually talking to me. Holy fuck. This is it.
She's so cute talking about her workout today, you can feel the passion she has for running.
"God, I could never run a mile that fast let alone go that far or that fast."
She giggled "Well, I'm scared of flying objects so I could never catch a ball and run, we all have our own talents. The thought of trying yours terrifies me."
"Well maybe sometime we could practice it togeth-"
"Hey Liv! What's up?!" Zeke interrupted.
Incredibly inconvenient timing. He's supposed to be helping me get the girl. Not mess it up.
"Hey Zeke! I think Jake is offering to teach me how to catch a football instead of just running from it, at least I think that's what he was going to say?"
Oh my god, she's interested. She's totally not going to shoot me down.
"Nah, no way he wants to do that. You're too clumsy. Right Jake?" replied Zeke.
"Hey at least he's willing to try to help me instead of making fun of me like you."
"Actually, I'm willing to take on the challenge of teaching this fraidycat how to catch and throw a football if she'd let me."
Holy shit. Holy shit. Did I just kinda ask her out?
"Well I am the best student in all my classes" she jokingly answered.
"Hey! No I'm in your classes" Zeke said.
"Again, I'm the best student in all my classes" Liv sassily replied. "So it's a date then?"
"No it's not a date, he's teaching you how to play football, it's not that romantic."
What the hell, Zeke is being a shit wingman right now.
"Well it doesn't have to just be football Liv. We could get dinner too? If you'd have the time?"
"We really should be getting going on our project Liv" Zeke said.
"Jake, give me your phone, I'll give you my number and we can make official plans!"
I handed her my phone trying so hard to contain my excitement. I can't believe she said yes. I can't believe she is initiating the number exchange. I like not having to do all the work!
"Alright! So just text me whenever and we can get something set." She smiled at me.
"Expect to hear from me very soon."
"Bye!" Her and Zeke said in unison as the walked off to his dorm.
I texted her as soon as she turned around
"Practice is at 7:30PM this Thursday. Meeting at Turner hall. That's should give you enough time after your hard work out to get ready. -Coach Jake ;)"
