Chapter 14: Basketball Match

Kim's POV

When I woke up, I quickly went to the kitchen, and mom already cooked breakfast. Mom put a letter that says, she and dad went to work early. I am an only daughter, so I am the only one at home.

What if I bake cookies for Ethan? That would be a great idea.

I ate my breakfast, and after eating, I bake cookies. After baking, I went to my room, take a bath, get dressed, and I'm good to go. I looked at the time, and it's almost 9 in the morning. The basketball match will start at 9 am, so I better get going.

I texted Ella that I'm on my way, and she replied that she is also on her way.

When I arrive, I texted Ella that I already arrived at school.

"Kim!"

"Ella. I texted you just now,"

"Oh. Let's go. The basketball match is about to start"

"Ok"

Ella and I went to the gym. When we arrive, we search for a seat.

"Let's sit in front so that we can see the game clearly,"

"Ok"

"And you can clearly see Ethan playing,"

"Stop it!"

Ella and I sat in front.

Narrator's POV

After a few minutes, the game started.

"Good morning, people! We are all gathered here to witness the basketball match of these two teams. Without further ado, let us now meet the starting line-ups,"

The announcer is announcing the names of the members.

"No.8, Ethan Jones"

When Ethan's name was mentioned, Kim got so excited.

"Ethan is so handsome and tall,"

After announcing the line-ups of both teams, the match started.

After an hour and a half of watching, it's already the last quarter, and Ethan's team is leading.

Throughout the game, Kim is so worried about Ethan because he doesn't take a break. He would take a break but only for a few minutes and goes back to the game. Their team needed Ethan because he is the best player on the team.

Seconds remaining, and Ethan's team is leading. A guy from Ethan's team pass the ball to Ethan, and Ethan managed to shoot 3 points. The buzzer rang, indicating that the match ended and Ethan's team wins. The crowd goes wild. The score is 110-85.

After the game is over, some of the students are going home.

"I will go home first, Kim,"

"Ok. I'm nervous about meeting Ethan later, Ella,"

"Don't be. Just be yourself,"

"Ok. Thank you, Ella,"

"Welcome. I'm going now,"

"Ok. Be careful"

"I will,"

I Got to go to the rooftop and wait for Ethan there.

Ethan's POV

I'm so happy that our team won. We went to our locker room and changed clothes.

"Let's celebrate later," the coach said.

"Let's eat outside,"

"Ok. It's going to be my treat because you won, and I'm proud of you all,"

"Thank you, coach,"

"No problem. We will eat outside later at 12. It's only 11 am. Let's rest for a bit,"

I need to go to the rooftop. Maybe she is waiting for me already.

"I need to go somewhere. Be back later,"

"Where are you going?"

"Meeting someone?"

"Oh. Go for it, bro,"

I went to the rooftop.

I am thinking of courting her. I know that it's too sudden and I don't know her in person, but I know that she is a lovely, kind, and caring person, which is my ideal type. Not to mention, we have a lot in common.

When I arrive, I saw a girl and her back is facing in front of me, that's why I can't see her face.

"Um. Hi"

The girl faced me, and I was shocked because she is Ella's best friend.

"Hi. My name is Kim Lee, and I am your text mate,"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ethan Jones"

We both shake hands and talked. I can't believe that she is my text mate. Kim is so cute and pretty.

"Oh. This is for you. I hope you like it. I baked that this morning,"

"Cookies. I love cookies. Let's share,"

"Ok"

"This is so delicious,"

"I'm happy that you like it,"

Kim and I talked, and we got close immediately.

"Can I court you, Kim?"

"What?"

"Can I court you? I know that it's too sudden, but the reason why I wanted to court you because you are my ideal type, and we also had a lot in common. Let's also know each other more. What's your reply?"

"I can't believe this, but yes. You can court me,"

"Ok, great. But let me ask you where did you get my number?"

"From Ella. She put your number on my contact because she knows that I'm a fan of yours,"

"Oh, so that's why,"

"Congratulations on winning,"

"Thank you. Oh, it's almost noon. I need to head back to the gym,"

"Oh, yes. It's almost lunchtime. I should probably head home,"

"I will accompany you at the gate,"

"Ok"

I accompany Kim at the gate. When we are at the gate, Kim suddenly kissed my cheek.

"Thank you,"

"You're welcome. I will see you on Monday,"

"Ok. See you on Monday,"

And Kim went out of the school gate.

I felt my heart skip a beat.

Kim's POV

When we are at the gate, I suddenly kissed Ethan's cheek to thank him. Ethan's reaction is so cute because he was shocked that I kissed his cheek. And then we said our goodbyes. I can't wait for next week, and I can't wait to say it to Ella. I know that she will be shocked.

OMG! This is my luckiest day because Ethan said that he would court me, and I am his ideal type. I know that it's too sudden, but I don't care. My idol is courting me. This is every girl's wish, and I'm so lucky that my wish has been granted.

I cannot hide what I'm feeling right now. I am smiling while walking.

When I got home, I went straight to my room and jump on my bed.
