Flag Football, Camp Gym - After Workshops

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

This was the first ever Flag Football information session and practice.  John and Molly set up all the necessary equipment in the camp gym.  There was a handout by the door explaining what flag football was and the overall rules.

"Uhh, um..." And now Chad was confused. Did Annette just say she'd like to play those spots? Could play those spots? Or that she'd be good at those spots? He felt bad if he insinuated that she thought she'd be good at everything. Mentally, he was flailing a little until he thought of something more to say.

"I guess...I guess I just thought you said you'd be good at that stuff because you probably...would...be?" He made a tentative attempt at a save.

She waved her hand a little and looked down, shuffling her foot back and forth, "You don't need to say things like that, Chad. It's okay. I probably did sound like I could do all of that...I just didn't mean it like...like...I just thought it sounded fun, not like I would be any good at it. I would try to do it right, I guess." Annette shut up. She was just rambling to try and justify what clearly came across as arrogance...

She should have just stayed in the cabin. "I think I'll go back to my cabin now. I'm kind of...tired." And I don't want to stand here and end up crying... Turtle was clearly right about her. Annette was a bad person.

Chad's frown grew the more Annette talked. He didn't mean to upset her, but he clearly had and...Annette was amazing! She put up with him when he was being a total dick at the winter carnival thingy! His head ducked. "...Annette, I didn't mean to..."

"No," she said quickly, "it's okay, Chad. I've just been a little over emotional today...I'm sorry. Please don't think bad things about me." Yes, her bottom lip wibbled and she had to blink away the sudden moisture that gathered in her eyes. "Talk to you later, okay? I'm...I'm just a litte...tired." She gave him a small smile and turned and walked away as fast as she could, which was hard because she was still limping.

"Annette!" Chad called out to her, but, if she wanted to go, he'd let her go. Still, he frowned. Why would he ever think bad things about Annette? Maybe if she was having a bad day, he should try to do something nice for her to make her feel better. Right now, though, if she wanted it, he'd give her some space. Poor girl...

She heard him and she stopped, but she swiped at her cheeks before she turned around, offering him another small smile, "What?"

And Chad came over and gave her a hug, because he was never really much for talking, anyway, and a hug said it better than he'd probably be able to, anyway.

Annette absolutely leaned into him too, closing her eyes and hugging back tightly. It was what she needed and she didn't want to talk, talking just made her feel worse.

After another minute or two, she pulled free and looked up at him, "Thank you, Chad," she said softly, wishing she could just stay here and be hugged for the rest of the day. "I'll see ya later," And she turned around and walked away, heading for her cabin.

Chad would have said 'no problem' but, by the time Annette pulled away and left, he'd been holding in his reaction from the massive pain from Annette accidentally leaning into his stab wound so long that he had to turn around himself and gasp for air.
