Dylan 7
DYLAN POV
The past three weeks have been a blur. The running, the practices, the games, and actually doing my class work is keeping me hell-a busy. Dad still hasn't spoken to me but since I have to go over what I learn with Granddad and Grammy, I pay attention in his youth class.
The information is surprisingly relatable. The first few times I completed dad's handouts, he was shocked. I was hoping he would talk to me then but I think he is waiting for me to say something. Last Sunday I sat next to my mom during sermon. She hadn't spoken to me but she had held my hand, which I will take. I miss her. I miss her pet names and her breakfasts. I even miss my brothers.
Hailey and Curt have both been polite in art, which again, I will take it. It's much better then looks of disgust and pure loathing. And a couple of the guys on the football team are my new lunch buddies. Graham and Luke, the guys I apologized to. And they are both

HAILEY POVI grin internally as I watch Captian Douche appear bashful. His ears are slightly red from me saying I would try to attend his game. Over the past few weeks there has been a huge change in Dylan. He sits with different people at lunch, he doesn't leave lunch early with random girls, he comes to youth class, I even saw him sitting with his family during sermon, and he comes to art everyday.I don't know what his grandparents are feeding him but they need to keep at it. Curt and Colt have been watching him like hawks, reporting all his changes to his parents. I smile at his ignorance, I have attended all his games. Curt always picks Leena and I up and drops us off. For some reason I am starting to look at the burly ex badboy in a new light.Everytime I see him, I catch him looking at me. Typically with innocent eyes but sometimes they have a flicker of lust in them. Which to be honest, scares and excites me. I don't have any intention of bei

DYLAN POV "Shit shit shit.......," I grumble under my breathe as the trainer tries to stretch me out. He then wraps my inner thigh and places a huge bag of ice. "Well," I ask glad that the torture has ended. "My guess is a pulled groin. You need to go see your doctor and get it checked. You will probably be sitting out the next few games, but no permanent damage," Trainer Cody says patting my shoulder. I nod. And look back to the field. My team needs me, our second string runner isn't that great. I groan in annoyance, alerting the team to my aggravation. I lay back flat on the blue mat. Just when we were getting a groove, I had to go get hurt. "Hey man. We won't be without you for long, don't worry. Andy's arm is good, we will just switch to a passing offense," Luke says coming up to pat my shoulder. "I'm just bummed, man" I grumble not really wanting the encouragement.

DYLAN POVWorry over hiding my boner vanishes as Hailey makes a mad dash away from the car. I frown slightly at her actions. Is it that horrible being next to me? She is dragging Leena with her which makes Curt frown as well.I chuckle slightly. Aren't we a pair of smitten puppies. I can't believe I haven't noticed how my brother looks at the little sophomore until now. She is definitely the one for him. Curt is just like dad. He has chosen his life partner, I would bet BB."What did you say to Hailey," Curt says slinging his bag over his shoulder as we all make our way after the speed walking girls."In the car there was food on her shirt. We had an awkward moment," I say with a shrug.My younger brothers glance at me before making eye contact in a meaningful way."What," I ask glancing between them.As usual Curt just ignores my question but Colt jumps to explain."Well we have notice

DYLAN POV A junior trainer stretches my pulled muscle on the sidelines of the field as my brain racks through the reasons why Marla would assualt Hailey for the thousandth time. The best I conclude is she is behaving like the girls I used to sit with. She wants me, was using the guy I saw at lunch, and had noticed my interest in Hailey. I guess my turn down yesterday was the final straw. I groan and throw my arm over my eyes. The junior trainer immediately apologies thinking he was the reason behind my misery. I just keep my mouth shut. I look over at the field. I wish I was taking hits. At least that way I could feel like I was receiving punishment for my involved in Hailey's torture. It's stupid to have to come to practice while injured but I get it. I'm here in support of the team plus this way I can provide input and hear any changes. Luke and Graham have already come over twice during water breaks t

HAILEY POVSchool has flown by today. Only a few people have giggled at my red tinted hair, mainly the mean kids that Dylan used to sit with, but other then that everyone has been extremely caring. Curt and Colt haven't left my side which is starting to get annoying but I understand why they are playing bodyguard. My dad spoke with theirs for over an hour last night. Which is also why Dylan probably felt the need to apologize.I walk into art with a bright smile. Curt is so sweet, he is planning an extravagant birthday surprise for Leena. He wants to wow her before asking her to be his girlfriend."So what do you think? To much," Curt asks letting vulnerability etch it's way into his voice."It sounds like it might be a little over the top. Remember what Leena likes and dislikes. She hates being the main focus and she hates surprises. Try to tone it down a bit to match her personality. You are just excited and nervous right now but remem

HAILEY POV. PG 13 "Yeah, then I fell right into the pool," Shawn says finishes his story and we both laugh loudly over the sound of the last document running through the shredder. I turn off the shredder and he flattens the now empty box. I check my phone. Dad- Mr. Ryan is giving you a ride home, See you soon. Me- okay, see you soon. I put my phone back in my pocket before heading to the sitting area. Surprisingly Dylan is sitting there with a deep scowl that catches me off guard. Normally people leave their appointments with smiles. "Hey Dylan, how was your session," I ask sitting across from him "It was fine. Is my dad driving you too," Dylan asks as his eyes look behind me."Yeah my dad messaged me about it. Normally I have to wait until he gets off but I don't mind," I say getting comfy. I unzip my bag and pull out my algebra bo

HAILEY POV I have already checked my appearance three times, but for some reason I am still in the bathroom. I didn't change my routine at all or even try to dress prettier. If Dylan is going to date me, he will get the real me. Honestly, I still can't believe he asked to date me or better yet that I said yes. Warning bells haven't stopped going off since I sent the text last night. Three weeks ago I was warning another girl that dating Dylan was a mistake. A horrible mistake. I pitied the girls he used at lunch....... Oh my goodness, I grab my stomach as jealousy and fear of not comparing, wrecks havoc on my nerves. He won't be satisfying any of those carnal cravings with me. How long will he stay interest? Long enough for me to fall in love?? "Hailey, you okay in there kiddo," dad calls from the kitchen. "Yeah," I say putting my mascara away and opening the door. I need to keep my composure. I do
