I felt the sting of tree branches hitting my face as I ran into the dense forest knowing Jake wouldn't be far behind. As I came to the small creek where his team always hid their flag. I noted it wasn't there and turned around to look else where, but a voice stopped me coming from behind a large tree
"Looking for this Nora." Jake said with a smirk on his tanned face.
Shocked I turned slowly back around to face him. We had always been competitors since the first day of school when We were 5 years old knowing full well our parents meant to have us become the first alien-human married couple. Hoping to truly bring our two species together. We mostly tried to avoid the subject especially when our parents wanted us to hang out like friends. Getting the thought out of my mind I tried to focus.
"How do I get past him?" I thought.
I saw it then, a girl hidden in the tree ready to pounce at me at any moment.
"So, tell me Jake why give it to me? Ready to start dating?" He turned a deep tomato red a frown on his face.
Realizing to late I was trying to coax his team mate out of the tree branch. His eyes widened with the realization
"Veronica NO!" He was to late.
I was ready.
Moving out of the way just as his girlfriend made her move. Almost falling face first into the dirt. It took a lot of effort for me not to laugh. While Jake was distracted I ran toward him grabbed the flag from his loose grip. Then ran towards my waiting team mates......
