Hill Crest High discussion

Running the mile and what not

Marianna arrived at the track.

Andrew loosely draped his arms over Kat's and Marianna's shoulder. "You know, I'm not going to enjoy beating you all." He sighed dramatically, slumping his body lazily. Kat rolled her eyes with a small smile restig on her face. "Ah, Andrew, look at you being all modest. Just like the brother I know so well." He stuck his tongue out at her, quite immaturely. "Are you trying to say something to me? Katherine! " He gave her a pointed look, which she isn't notice. The sound of her full name made her cringe. "Don't call me that!" She grumbled, biting her lip in the process. "Let's just get running." Kat quickly added

"I agree," sara readjusted her pony tail and got in a ready position.

Cassidy snickered at them all, flexing at the knees slightly before lifting her arms in a full body stretch. A satisfied purr escaped her lips as her back cracked. "So let's go...!"

Andrew motioned for everyone to line up with a flick of his wrist. "On your mark, get set, GO!" Kat took off in a second, followed close by her brother.

Cassidy laughed as she ran, long legs and brilliant stamina carrying her even with Andrew and coming up behind Kat. "We never determined where we were racing? Around the track once?"

"I'm okay with that!" Kat put in, her breathing still light. Her soccer legs pulled her steadily ahead.

Andrew could feel the air flowing through his lungs and the blood pumping his heart. He hastened his stride, carrying himself behind her. In quick, graceful movements he jumped on Kat's back.

"Ah! Andrew, getoffme!" Her words ran together as she stumbled to the ground. Andrew shook his head, letting out a long, contagious laugh. Kat started laughing too, lieing underneath him on the ground.

"Look what you did! You let Cassidy win!" She muttered between laughs as a terrible attempt at chastisement.

Sara stood up, done from tying her shoes, "Wait? You guys said go? Gosh dang it," she kicked the dirt.

Cassidy whooped enthusiastically, running a mock victory lap around the wrestling siblings complete with overdone fist pumps. "Freaking succeed!"

"It wasn't even fair!" Kat declared as she climbed to her feet. With a few hand movements she had brushed herself off.

Andrew stood up too, crossing his arms menacingly over his chest. "We will see about that." He let his signature smirk flicker into his features as he faced Cassidy.

"Sara, what happened to you?" Kat grinned, seeing Sara standing a little ways off.

"'She reigns supreme in every country she moves to, Brad, I don't know how she does it!'" Cass imitated the cheesy sports commentators she always heard while trying to watch rugby, her tone taking on an airy accented flavor.

"'Me either, Elfie, I can't believe it! Scotland's own Cassidy Laird-- champion of nine different countries!'" Her voice deepened for 'Brad,' obviously not able to go low enough, but a close counterfeit.

She paused, pitch and accent returning to normal. "Oi-- why're you all smirk-y?"

"I was tying my shoes when you said go," she shrugged, "I must have bad hearing or something." She laughed then bent over to pick up her water and whipped her hair on the way back up.

"I don't know..." Andrew sang quietly, a teasing look occupying his face. Kat giggled at both Cassidy and Sara, enjoying the entertainment they provided.

"You're a suspicious character, aren't you?" Cassidy grinned cheekily, hands on her hips.

Andrew shrugged, running a hand through his hair subconsciously. "Kat, I'm hungry." He walked over to his sister and rested his head on her shoulder. Kat awkwardly patted his back, grinning. "You act like a two year old." She mumbled to herself. "You girls up for some food?" She raised her gaze to their faces.

"Who's suspicious?" Sara asked, she hadn't been paying attention. Then her attention was focused on the sprinklers going off in the grass. "Oh, this is cool," she pulled her ponytail out of her hair and ran into the water.

"Wait for me!" Kat ran after Sara, right into the water. She let it in down her face and hair, causing her clothes to stick to her skin.

Marianna sprinted through the sprinklers, laughing as the water sprayed her, forming sparkling orbs of water on her skin.

"Weee," she spun around loving the feel of the wet grass between her toes. Sara jumped over every sprinkler head and ran around Kat pretending to be an airplane.

Marianna rolled her eyes and folded her arms, but she had a small smile on her face. "Enough of this aloofness!" she said in a British accent. She also pretended to be a plane, and made a finger gun, pretending to shoot down Sara.

"Ahhh," she crumbled to the ground, "mayday! mayday!" She gigles as the water droplets glide down her skin.

Kat laughed at both of them, pulling up her arms to be a plane too. "Not in my house!" She yelled as she mocked shooting a huge gun at both of the girls.

Andrew also rolled his eyes at all of the girls running around in the sprinklers. He swiftly pulled off his shirt, letting his defined chest and abs be in view of everyone. He hesitated before running into the sprinkled.

Marianna laughed brightly. "Victory!" she shouted, pretending to fly around in a victory lap.

Marianna pretended to crash to the ground halfway through her lap, faking a groan. Then she saw Andrew and covered her eyes. "Please keep your clothes on at all times."

Sara got back up and took Kats hands and spun them like in the movies. She couldn't help the laughter that poured out of her mouth.

"Why the hell not?" Cassidy shrugged before running wildly through the lush, wet grass, twirling through the watter droplets. Strands of wet hair stuck to glistening, rosy cheeks, pulled up in a grin. The water was cool against her flushed skin, running down her neck and shoulders and soaking into her t-shirt. The cotton clung to her small feminine frame.

Marianna's hair whirled through the air as she caught hold of Kat's and Sara's hands, and all three spun around.

Kat laughed too, it rang clear and loud. The water cleared her mind of all the stress of school and her home life.

Andrew smirked, walking slowly towards Marianna. "Is that what you really want?" He scoffed quietly, his body glistening from the raindrops.

Marianna stood on her toes to be taller than Andrew. "Yeah! Got a problem? It's disrespectful to...you know...in public places! In case you haven't noticed, none of us are taking our shirts off!"

"We can't go anywhere like this...!" Cassidy's laughter was dying down, but her eyes still sparkled with amusement. She glanced toward Marianna and Andrew, grin still in place. "Oi, you're walking right into a really easy comeback." Her voice lowered in pitch to a scarily accurate impersonation of Andrew. "'Yeah, and it's a damn shame.'" Complete with a smirk.

"Hey, I wouldn't complain if you did." Andrew winked at her before turning around and looking up at the water spraying on them. He let out a deep breath

Sara plopped onto the ground sending a splash of water into the air. She layed back and relaxed, letting the water and the laughter from the people around her make her feel not as alone.

Marianna faked an outraged expression and playfully shoved Andrew.

"Hey, Sar-Bear!" Cass splashed down beside her, slinging an arm around the other girl's shoulders. "What's up?" A conversation starter-- not a very good one, but...

Andrew stuck his tongue out at Cassidy before stumbling backwards dramatically, holding the spot Marianna had hit him. "Hun, you set that up for yourself like she said." He laughed, shaking his head. Kat settled down beside Sara, content for the moment.

Marianna pursed her lips theatrically and stuck her tongue out at Andrew. Then, she lay down on the grass, putting her hands behind her head.

"Don't stick your tongue out that way unless you intend to use it~" Cass sang jokingly, waggling her eyebrows.

Marianna laughed.

"Mhm." Andrew commented, laying down on the grass with the others. He wouldn't mind using it....
Kat just laughed quietly, amused that her brother was still welcomed by these girls.

Marianna closed her eyes and smiled. It was nice to get away from the snobs for a while...

"Oi. Mind outta' the gutter." Cass commanded, easily predicting his thought process.

"Isn't this just lovely?" she asked to no one directly. She took a deep breath in and then let it out. She started wiggling between cassidy and kat splashing more water on them.

Marianna grinned, with her eyes still closed.

"Hey-- hey!" Cassidy squirmed slightly, scooting away from Sara. "That's so not necessary!" She laughed.

Marianna opened her eyes momentarily to splash Sara in the face with a wall of water. "Taste of your own medicine!"

Kat also squirmed away, rolling around in the now, muddy field. She let out a chuckle,"Well we aren't very presentable right now."

Andrew stayed quiet, letting his thoughts take over his mind.

"If we want to go anywhere to eat, we'll have to shower in the locker rooms. Or meet back up after we run home and get cleaned up." Cass smiled beatifically, admiring the rainbow created by the bright light emanating from the sky and the misty water droplets.

Sara stood ringing out her now soaked sweater. Her nose crinkled when the fabric stuck to her skin. She peeled the sweater of revealing her yellow tank top. She wrapped the sweater around her waist so she wouldn't half to carry it.

"You all can come to our place?" Kat suggested instantly, not wanting to have a shower in the locker room.

"Or we could have a community shower. Sara's already half way there." Andrew added, a playful grin on his face.
