Thread: Running Brings Freedom (Frelance & Frogger)

Jason was surprised when Lilly averted her gaze. She seemed uncomfortable or unnerved but he couldn't understand why she would feel that way. He thought that she was a very confident person. He realized he was probably reading to far inter her actions and tried to push the thoughts out of his mind. He was glad she wasn't going to push him, he knew if she did he would have refused right away which was part of what happened when Mr. Davis had tried to get him to join the track team. He let out a sigh as she said she Jason was surprised when Lilly averted her gaze. She seemed uncomfortable or unnerved but he couldn't understand why she would feel that way.

He was glad she wasn't going to push him, he knew if she did he would have refused right away which was part of what happened when Mr. Davis had tried to get him to join the track team. He let out a sigh of relief when Lily said she would keep his secret. He would have turned back around in his seat but stopped himself when she kept speaking. He smiled as she told him that she wasn't the kind of girl who spread personal things about other people and as wary as he was of most people he did believe her. It wasn't because he felt relaxed around her although that helped, it was more because he had never heard about her spreading rumors while they had been in the same school. His smile tightened as she told him no one would see him as a freak for what he did. As much as he might want to believe her he couldn't bring himself to actually agree with her. He had seen more than a few people at the school who had interesting talents that had been labeled a freak when it was discovered what they did with their free time and none of them had ever been the same after. Thanks but I still don't want to make it public knowledge. I have been able to stay out of the spotlight and I would prefer for it to stay that way. It makes life easier if nothing else. As she took a shot at herself and her track abilities he chuckled and shrugged. Thanks but the difference is your sport is accepted and there is a team for it. His eyebrows raised in surprise when she said she wished she could do what he could. Jason almost offered to teacher but stopped himself before he could say anything. Um well its not that hard. I like how you describe it but really its just a matter of practicing what our bodies have evolved to do. He realized that he was starting to over explain the topic. He stopped talking and was happy to hear that class was about to start. Um, well I will think about your offer. He turned to face forward after Lily sat back in her chair and couldn't help but notice how her hair framed her eyes and made them stand out even more than they already did. Turning back to face the front of the class he tried to listen to Mr. Davis as he explained the project that he was assigning them to work on for the rest of the year. Your project is not going to be due until the last month of classes. You are too look back over your years in highschool and reflect on what you would do differently as well as what you would not change about your time here. Jason ended up drifting off for most of the explanation as he thought over his interaction with Lily and her offer. When he was first asked he had not wanted to leave the comfort zone of the few friends he had made but now they were all gone leaving only him left in the school so there was nothing stopping him from taking her up on the offer except for his own paranoia about what his classmates will think of him.
