Chapter Four

KIMBERLY

"Did you see him? O.m.g

"He's so hot! Those eyes!"

We walk past them and find another group huddled in the corner applying glittery lip gloss.

"I'd do him any day."

"He's like the hottest guy ever, I heard he plays ball."

"Yeah,the best at his previous school and the whole city."

And another group, the cheerleaders team b, rivals to the main cheerleaders who are part of the Elites.

"I never thought I'd see any guy hotter than Ronan walk these walls."

"He's like a Greek god, man I Wana climb that man like a tree."

"Teris..you're such a whore."

"What? It's true!"

We round the corner, I push open the classroom door and heads turn towards us ,the teacher stops whatever he was saying.

"Ms Monoa, you're late and disturbing my class."

"Sorry we're late," Sam pants from beside me.

"You too ms Reed."

"We're sorry sir, it won't happen again."

"As it shouldn't."

We slip into the seats and the class resumes.

"What's the whispering all about?" She leans closer to me.

"Uh Sam, you're whispering too."

She makes a show of looking me up and down.

"So are you. Well I think some hotshot guy who's transferred here I guess."

"Yeah..I think so to-"

"Ms Green and Monoa, if you keep whispering I might ask you to leave my class."

We straighten.

"Sorry."

* *Cafeteria* *

"So..you're sitting with the Elites again?"

"No," I frown. "Just because I'm with Ronan again doesn't mean everything will be back to normal."

"Okay," she nods with a smile.

The cafeteria is packed,we look around for any empty seats but can't see any.

"Sam!" Noah stands and waves a hand at us. "Over here, I kept some seats for you."

Sam and I groan at the same time.

"Well bitch,we have no choice."

She hooks her arm in mine and we start walking towards the table.

"Hey Kim," Jonathan greets.

"Hi."

The chatting continues,some are standing,rolling balls on their fingers,some are seated on the corners of the table.

"Why's it so packed today?" Sam asks.

"Well it's football season Sam, we'll be competing against Rosoul High."

"Oh," she says, Rosoul is a school from the next town,they're good,so competing against them Is kind of a big deal.

"We've got practice today."

"Maybe that new guy can join in too,I've heard he's really good, he might be useful in the game."

"Yeah I heard so too."

"We're not risking the championship with someone we're not sure plays good," Ron says.

"Oh but he is good."

"I've actually been to one of the games his school played. Three times championships.

"Huh."

Ronan scratches his chin in thought. He seems like he doesn't want to give the guy a chance even if he's being praised, if I'm right he seems..jealous?

The whispers start,guys turn their heads and girls comb through their hair,re-apply mascara and lip gloss on their already shiny lips. Some even go to lengths of riding their skirts up their thighs, how ridiculous.

"Well this might be the time to ask if we want that championship," Marcus another football member says.

"Did I hear the word Championship?" A deep male voice speaks from behind.

Sam's eyes widen as she stares behind me,her mouth hanging slightly open.

I kick her from underneath the table.

"Huh?" She breaks free from whatever spell she was in, I widen my eyes at her.

"Oh. Ehem!" She slurps her smoothie and looks around playing innocent.

I roll my eyes.

"Hey man, yeah."

"We were just about to ask you to join the team."

"You can have my seat," Jonathan stands up.

"Thanks man, what's your name again?"

"Jonathan, and that's; Marcus,Xander,Lenny,Noah,..."

He introduces the rest of football team and finally Ronan as captain.

"I've actually already met Captain,he and I are-"

"Yeah we've already met, this isn't our first."

"Great, even better then," Xander grins.

Naomi scoots closer to him and reaches out a hand.

"Hi I'm Naomi and that's Isabel, Jessy and Bree, our cheerleading captain."

"I can introduce myself just fine Nao. Move." Naomi roots herself in place but Bree narrows her eyes.

"Nao!" Jessy elbows her side.

"Fine," Naomi moves and Bree takes her place.

"Hi I'm Bree,the cheerleaders captain."

In my peripheral vision, I can see her running her fingers up his arm.

"Hey, nice to meet you captain."

"If you want a tour of the school,don't hesitate to let me know," she ends with a flirty tone.

Sam chooses that exact moment to snort, Bree turns her head towards her.

"Do you have a problem with me Sam?"

"Do you have one with me? Brianna?" I tuck my lips in to hold my laugh.

"It's Bree, and i'm the captain here aren't I?" She glares.

"Oh, are you?"

"Stop answering my questions with questions Samantha."

Sam opens her mouth to say something because well..that's just Sam,she feeds on riling up Bree,she constantly does it because she knows the team needs her, unlike me, I'm still there because of Ronan I guess.

"Samantha.." the new guy says her name,his accent sounds so sexy. "Nice name."

Sam blushes and turns her head in his direction, what the actual fuckidy fuck?

"Oh, thank you."

"I love your hair too,you've got great taste I must say."

Sam pulls at the pink highlight in her raven hair.

"Thanks uhh..?"

"Brandon Norton, call me Bran."

"Thanks Bran." I turn my head to have a glimpse but he chooses that exact moment to look my way.

Our eyes collide and I freeze,my mind goes on a hiatus,my breath hitches.

He stares back at me with green eyes that are framed by long thick black lashes,his lips are plump and pink,so so kissable, I've never been enchanted by such appearances before,his beauty is so rare in males.

He's extremely over the top handsome, he might as well be leaning into the beautiful category if that's even right for guys, even in his uniform shirt one can tell that his body is molded to perfection, his shirt is folded to the elbows,perfect strong hands and his chest pushes against the shirt, definitely works out.

His black hair is styled in a messy but neat way and he's probably tall judging by how he looks compared to the other guys even while he's seated. He takes his time staring at me the same way I do him. My trance is broken when an arm wraps around my neck pulling me towards a hard body. I blink.

"This is Kimberley,my girlfriend."

"Ohhh... so territorial captain," some guys shout. I uncomfortably look back at Brandon, his eyes seem to have never moved from my face despite Ronan speaking.

"Your eyes...violet." I blink because what in the actual fuck? How did he know the color immediately, he's not even that close, usually people have to get closer to determine whether my eyes are violet,blue or purple.

"That's spot on. Usually people find it hard to know her eye color from afar," Noah voices out exactly what I was thinking.

"Right...?" Sam touches his arm.

"So Bran,where are you from?" Bree asks.

"New york," he breaks eye contact with me.

"Wow cool, I love new york. Welcome to the Elites," she says, Sam chokes and Noah pats her back.

"Samantha can you not?" Bree grits her teeth.

"She didn't say anything Brianna," I jump in.

"It's Bree,Kimsy,Bree."

"Okay Brianna we get it," Sam mocks her and whispers. "Thirsty slut."

Bree gasps.

"So!" Brandon cuts in, probably hating cat drama. "Tell me more about this championship,I think I already like this place."

He looks at me when he says the the next part.

"So beautiful," I instantly feel uncomfortable and look away. I spend the rest of the time slurping on my juice and avoiding any eye contact whatsoever.

* *Later* *

"Yo Bran,get over here," Jonathan waves him over.

"He's acting so desperate," I roll my eyes.

"Kim! That's mean, we're fighting for the championship."

"To hell with the championship."

Sam gapes at me.

"Uh Sam,they might be flies around here,you should probably close that," I point at her open mouth.

"Kim! You're not always this mean to strangers."

We both look behind us and find the guys chatting and laughing, how's he so comfortable,it's like he's been here since day one, everyone is so welcoming,unlike my situation. Lucky him.

"He's got good vibes and easily fits into any environment fast," she snaps her fingers.

"Come on Kim,you have to admit he's gorgeous."

"Sam, you never think guys are gorgeous," I scrunch my nose.

"Well there's a first time for everything."

We look back over our shoulders, he smirks at whatever those stupid Elites say,well except for Noah who's not stupid. Smirk, definitely not the type who smiles, he turns his head towards us, his eyes find mine instantly and my stomach knots, my heart starts to beat fast, I want to look away but I can't, his eyes scan my my hair,my face,neck and then back to my eyes.

"Hey!" Sam waves a hand in front of me.

"What?" did she say something?

"I said, girls are circling him like tiny horny sharks,that's if horny sharks makes sense but anyway! I wouldn't mind having a one night st-" I slam my hand on her mouth, widening my eyes.

"Sam!" I look around, Julia a class nerd looks totally uncomfortable,yep she heard. Sam taps my hand so I let go.

"What's the big deal anyway,he's not that handsome, most of the guys on the football team are way hotter than he is."

I beat my pen on my textbook.

"You're so weird but I get it, when you're in love, the only person you find the most handsome is your boyfriend."

The teacher walks in and we all go silent.

After last period, the head of the school comes to motivate the football team

"We need to win this boys, our school's honor depends on you. And our cheerleaders, make sure you're right behind the team!"

"Yesssss!" The boys shout,whistle and whoop.

"And," he places his hand in the air and the class goes quiet. "All our students should make sure they make it,we need to support our team. This year's championship is ours!"

The classroom goes wild with cheering.
