“Will you stop ‘awwnning' like a cat?” The teacher's voice brought many out of their fantasy world. Some shook their heads at the drooling ladies while some clamped their mouth shut but there was one that was still hung open. It was actually two but then gently it closed.Christian stood there smiling. He scanned through the heads and saw her. She was seated there with mouth agape. He smiled at her. When she saw that he already shared an eye contact with her, she closed her lips and looked away. Her heart had quickened up its rate at which it was beating. Ellie slowly turned her head towards sister and looked at her. She smiled a little in… admiration. To her, yeah, it was admiration. He had come for her. Love. But No.“You can go have your seat.” The teacher said and Christian walked majestically towards his seat. Girls turned their heads towards him and some did some winking which he did not even see because his eyes was fixed on her… Only her.He finally sat down and brought out h
“Okay, now. I think you need to explain to me everything you did in the locker hall today. What was that all about?” Ellie asked as soon as she entered their room with a frown on her face. “At least pull off your clothes and have a cold bath before interrogating me.” Elsa said as she sat down. Ellie only gazed at her without moving. “I understand if you want to keep your relationship secret but at least you should not have spoken to him that way.” Ellie continued talking. Elsa looked at her and asked, “And what relationship are you talking about?” “You and Christian, ain’t you guys dating anymore?” Ellie asked and walked towards her. Elsa only stared at her without replying. “And yes by the way, earlier this morning I saw you smiling at Crystal.” Elsa said, evading the question Ellie had asked her. “Best way to evade a question. Way to go.” Ellie hissed out and applauded her. “I asked a question?” Elsa said. “I asked you first.” Ellie said in return. Elsa released a snort and l
Ellie came out of the bathroom whistling and went towards the mirror.“What class are we having this morning?” She asked Elsa who was already buckling up the lace of her black shoes.“No class. We will be in the music class while you will be in cheerleading class.” Elsa replied without looking at her.“Okay then.” Ellie said and picked up the lotion. She pressed some into her palms and use it to rub her hands and legs.“I’m done.” Elsa announced and bounced up. “Wait for me.” Ellie mumbled and hurriedly wore her uniform. She sat down and wore her white socks, matched it with her black shoes.“How do I look like, Elsa?” She asked and Elsa who was packing some things back into their bags turned towards her and looked at her from head to toe.“Nothing changed. You still look the same in the blue jacket, black skirt and white inner t-shirt.” She said. Ellie uttered a snort and went to comb her hair. She took a hair tie and packed her hair into a ponytail.“I’m done.” She announced and pl
“Jayson.”“Jayson.”“Jayson.”Voices chanted and chorused. This kind of boost Jayson's morale as he ran through the court and dribbled Matt. He stood ready to throw the ball into his opponent's – Christian's team- net.He was breathing heavily as he scanned through the ways in which he could throw it. “One has to be very tactical.” The coach's voice rang in his head.“Jayson, over here.” Jace signaled to him with his hands. Jayson faced him and was about to throw the ball but then turn on his heels and threw it to Jeremy who was already standing at alert. This enraged Christian so much since he was the one trying to get the ball from them. Jayson's team had already scored 104 while Christian’s team was still at 76. They were all sweating profusely and breathing heavily.The two teams were trying their best to prevent the opponent from finding their into their part of the court. Well, Christian’s team lacked a little defense but Christian was playing good. So good. He liked com
“Since the J-stars came into this school. Other basketball players could not beat them but you. You just came and you already have a draw with them. Tell me, what charm did you use?” Mark asked.“When you have all it takes to win and you are determined, you will definitely win. I was told you were their captain. Well, I must say that you are not fit to be one as your hatred for them keeps getting in your way of thinking. Always wanting to make them lose.” Christian replied and stepped forward before him. They were now closer.“Your desire to see them lose was greater than your desire to win.” Christian said and was about to walk away.Mark chuckled and said, “I don’t care about that. For as long as you are able to beat them hands down.”“We have no enmity between us.” Christian stated before walking off.“I don’t think that will last long.” Mark said and smirked.“J-Stars has finally found their match.” He said and laughed humorlessly. Crystal and Elli
**Four days later** “Christian, Jayson, Matt, Jake and Jasper will be the one representing us.” The coach announced. They all nodded their in agreement. “Since tomorrow is the day, go rest and prepare to win.” He urged them. They all smiled tiredly and went to sit down. “So we will be facing Scholars high tomorrow?” Jeremy asked. “Yeah.” “But that does not mean we won't have our practice.” Jace said. “Bring success to us, Jayson and Jake.” Jeremy said while patting their shoulders. They nodded their head at him. “Hey, babes.” Julia hollered at the twins. They both looked up from the plate of shrimps that was placed in front of them. “This extra curriculum activities be taking people time.” She complained as she took her seat. “Yeah.” They chorused and nodded their head in agreement. “So, what’s popping?” She said making the ‘pop’ sound. “Nothing. Just alone.” Ellie said as she tiredly picked a shrimp and ate. “Have you guys seen the news?” Julia asked
**Next day**The D-day already arrived. The players that would be representing the school woke up as early as possible to revise their whole tactics.During the time of their practice, Christian and Jayson had always contradicted themselves causing the entire group confusion.They almost got into a fight but the coach was quick to separate them.He was even having double thought on Christian being part of the group of players but what could he have done.Christian had the determination and you could see it in his eyes while Jayson had intention and you could see it in his character. The intention to always win. The determination to beat them hands down.It was hard choosing a captain. Christian and Jayson were both dominant males. You could see a cloud of authority over them.Finally, he chose Jayson since Christian was new to their way of playing. But then he made an exception, he said they could work hands in hands which was nearly impossible.They wore their outfits and matched w
He smiled gently.“Thanks.” He muttered and collected it from Ellie. “Congratulations.” She said smiling.“Thanks.” He said again as he drank more water.“Will leave you to rest.” She said and left in her cheerleading outfit. Jake walked over to Jayson and they shook hands.“Congratulations to us.” Jake said and sat down beside him.“Yeah.” Jayson said and they both looked at how the entire school was happy.~•~•~•~•~•~•~Mark stood there trembling in anger. He did not expect that last collab between Jayson and Christian. He never did. The thought never came across his mind. “Foolish.” He kicked his leg against something angrily and walked away.“Congratulations, Jake.” Crystal said. Jake turned towards her and smiled.“Thanks and thanks to you also for cheering me.” He said politely. A blush crept on her cheeks.“It is nothing.” She replied and walked off happily.“Jayson, congratulations.” Shawna praised him. He looked away from her and ignored her.“I am tire
