NaNoWriMo Novel: Ch.5 Zoned Out

Ashton and Amber just follow. They have no idea what is going on, they are just laughing about something. We sit and the game begins. I can’t stop myself from looking to where Chris and Claire are sitting. Claire has her head on his shoulder. I frown and look away. I feel Edwin’s arm touch my hip and he pulls me in closer for comfort. I try to ignore it and focus on the game. When that fails, I start to zone out. I become a zombie again, like I have been for weeks. I put my head on Edwin’s shoulder and close my eyes. I am in a half sleep for some time until I hear some extreme cheering. I open my eyes and see we are about to win the game. About twenty seconds are left.

“Want to run the field?â€? Edwin asks me.

“Sure,â€? I say, I always liked to run the field after a game.
