I Doubt I Will Survive Living With These Guys (Old Version-Editing) by Alyza Slaton (manga ereader .TXT) 📖

put that on too.

I opened my soccer bag and got my shirt and shorts out. I quickly slipped my uniform on and sat down on the bed. Digging through my bag I tried to find my socks.

Where are they?

I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." I said still trying to find my socks

The door opened, "Here's your socks."

I looked up at Kayden grateful.

I grabbed them from him, "Thank you."

I slipped them on and grabbed my cleats, stuffing them in my bag. I threw my hair into a ponytail and zipped my bag up. I put on my bad converse to do warm-ups in.

"Can I drive you?" Kayden asked

"You'll have to come back and get me." I said

"I'll stay there." He said

I nodded and we ran down stairs. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water.

"C'mon." I said to Kayden who was putting his shoes on

"I'm coming. Calm down Ricky Bobby.” He said

I ran out to his car and waited for him to come and unlock the doors. He came out and unlocked the car. We both hopped in and drove off to the school.

“Bianca!” I gasped

“She left when you were in the shower.” Kayden said

I breathe a sigh of relief. When he pulled into the parking lot I jumped out and ran to the field.

The team was just starting the laps. I could catch up.

“Ryan’s! You’re late!” Coach yelled

“Sorry.” I said throwing my bag and started running as fast as I could

I caught up to the other girls in no time.

“How many laps?” I asked Bianca

“10.” She said a little breathless

I nodded and ran faster. I was about 40 meters ahead of all the other girls who were panting.

I ran passed the coach. When I passed I saw Kayden watching me intently.

I smiled at him and he smiled back. When I looked behind me I saw all the other girls far behind. I started slowing down to wait for Bianca when coach yelled,

“Don’t wait for them Ryan’s keep going!”

I nodded and ran faster. In about a minute I passed coach and Kayden again.

Lap two.

Lap three.

Lap four.

Lap five.

Lap six.

I hadn’t walked once. I broke a sweat lap four. I was breathing heavy and my legs burned but I wanted to get it over with so I ran harder.

Lap seven.

Lap eight.

Lap nine.

I set my hands on my knees and breathe inhaled through my nose and exhaled through my mouth.

Standing up straight I started to run again. This lap was slower than the others but at least I was still going.

Most of the other girls were either on lap seven or eight. I was halfway around the track when I felt a presence beside me.

I looked to my right and saw Kayden staring straight ahead with a smile on his face.

“What’re you doing?” I asked breathless

“Running with you.” He said

I shrugged and ran faster. Oh how I want this to be over.

I thought about water and how good it would be if I could have some. I ran faster thinking about water.

“Done!” Coached yelled writing my time down “Good job Ryan’s 9:34. You improved almost a minute.” She said smiling slightly

I waved my hand saying that I heard her. All I wanted was water. I went to my bag and got out my water bottle, quickly taking the top off. I drank half the bottle in a couple seconds.

When I was done with the water I felt better. My breathing had slowed down a little to where it wasn’t short pants. But short breaths, if that makes sense.

“You were good.” Kayden said

I turned around and face him, “Thanks.”

He smiled widely, “My girlfriend is going to be a famous soccer player.”

“All I did was run fast.” I said shrugging

“But I bet you’re great a soccer.” He said

“You’ve never seen me play?” I asked

He shook his head no.

“Really? That’s weird everybody else has.”

“We really didn’t get along remember. You forbid me to come to your games.” He chuckled

“Oh, well in that case. My bad.” I laughed

He came and tried to hug me but I ducked.

“I’m all sweaty.” I said taking another drink of water

“So?” He asked

“So it’s nasty.”

“Girls.” He sighed

“Shut up.” I snapped

I walked over to coach.

“What lap is the slowest girl on?” I asked

“Nine.” She replied

“Awesome.” That meant they were almost done

Arms went around my waist, “Gotcha.”

I turned around in his arms, “I guess you like sweat.”

He nodded and leaned down to kiss me. I kissed him back instantly.

“You were great babe. I didn't know you could run that fast.” He whispered once we pulled apart

“Thanks. But I gotta go stretch now.” I said getting out of his arms

I smiled and ran to the middle of the track where the turf was. I sat down on the floor and started stretching. The other girl joined me later.

“Okay girls. We’re gonna have teams. Shirts and bra’s.” Coach said

Everyone laughed.

She started calling off the people for each team.

“Ryan’s bra’s.” She said my name last

“Can I please be shirts?” I asked quickly

“Why?” She asked

“Kayden’s here.” I said

All the girls laughed and I glared at them.

“And Kayden is...?” She asked

“My boyfriend.”

“Well, I’m sure he would love to see you in your bra. You shouldn’t have brought him. You knew there was a possibility that you were going to be half naked.”

“I forgot. Please?” I pleaded

She shook her head and I sighed. Curse her. All of us ran over to our bags.

Kayden raised a brow. I glared at coach one more time before I took my shirt off. Kayden’s eyes widened. I grabbed my cleats and put them on.

“Why did you take your shirt off?” He asked

“I’m bra’s.” I muttered

“Bra’s?” He laughed

“Yeah. We can’t be skins. That’d be really disgusting.” I shuttered

“I’d like it.” He smirked

“Ew.” I said before I ran back to the field

“Who’s gonna kick it off?” Coach asked

Everyone looked at me and then Bianca. We were on different teams today.

I shrugged and walked over to coach. Bianca went on the other side of her and smirked at me. I smirked back and looked at coach. She was eyeing us weirdly.

She laughed and set the ball down. She stepped back.

“Play!” She yelled

I ran forward and kicked the ball to my teammates. I smirked at the frowning Bianca and ran towards the goal.

“Kenzii!” I yelled

She looked over at me and kicked the ball. I got it and started running faster towards the goal, dribbling the ball between my feet.

I focused on the goal as I got closer. Their goalie was Amanda Watson. Best goalie at our school. So not fair.

I kicked it as hard as I could but she still blocked it. The other girls were so far behind that I had time to get the ball again. I went for the goal again. I faked left and kicked it right.
It went into the goal.

My team cheered and high five each other.

“Good job Lexi.” Bianca said high fiving me

“Thanks.”

“Again!” Coach yelled “Ryan’s center forward!”

I nodded and we all ran to get back in position but this time I was center forward.

Shianne and Kenzii kicked it off. Shianne got the ball instead of Kenzii. My team started chasing Shianne to get the ball back. I ran as fast as I could to get the ball.

I caught up to Shianne and tried to get the ball. She just ran faster, in reply I also ran faster. I looked around and saw that only one of my teammates were close.

I kicked the ball from Shianne’s legs.

“Get it Lucy!” I yelled to Lucy

She nodded and got the ball. I ran to her and she kicked the ball to me.

I ran towards our goal with my teammates help. I passed it to Kenzii, I could’ve made the goal but I wanted someone else to do it too.

She kicked it in and we cheered again.

“Ryan’s, Amanda. Out!” Coach yelled

Amanda and I looked at each other in confusion but complied. We walked up to coach.

“Why’d you call us out?” I asked

“I want to see if they’d be alright without the best players in.” She said watching the game intently

I watched the game too. They took a little bit more time to make a goal, and this time Bianca’s team won.

“They’re not as good without you guys.” Coach commented

“They’re still good though.” I said defending them

She nodded, “You guys can go back in.”

Amanda and I ran back to the field and joined our teams again. While we were playing I looked over at coach and saw her talking to Kayden. I frowned but continued playing.

When my team made the goal coach called us in.

“Kayden’s gonna be on shirts.” She said

I looked at Kayden, “Why?”

“They could use the help.” She said walking away

I frowned and the shirts team looked offended.

“Don’t worry guys, you were great.” I said encouragingly

They nodded and we ran back to the field.

“Why’d you ask coach to play?” I asked Kayden

“I didn’t ask. She asked me too. I don’t even know how to play soccer.” He said panicked

“Don’t worry. You’ll do fine.” I told him

“A kiss might make me do good.” He smirked

I laughed and pecked his lips, “You’re going down.” I whispered against his lips

I pulled back and went over to my team. We all huddled up.

“Okay, Kayden doesn’t even know how to play soccer. He plays football. So he’s not a threat. But the girl will tell him what to do. We make them think Kenzii’s center forward but It’s going to be Lucy.” I told them

“I don’t want to be center forward.” Lucy panicked

“Okay. Anybody want to be?” I asked, nobody raised their hands. “Okay, I’ll do it.” I sighed

“C’mon.” I said

We walked over to the shirts.

“You guys ready?” I asked

“Yeah.”

They got into formation as we did the same. Kenzii was in the center forward spot and I was right beside her to get the ball when Lucy kicked it over to us.

Lucy did get the ball and everybody surrounded Kenzii. I moved to the side as the ball came towards me. Bianca frowned as I started running towards the goal. I laughed silently.

I felt someone beside me which was weird because nobody could ever catch up with me. I looked to the side and saw Kayden trying to get the ball. I smirked and ran faster.
