Chapter 18: Remembering The First Time We Met

Kim's POV

Classes are over, and I am now on my way to the gym to see Ethan practicing. By the way, yesterday, I had so much fun because the four of us ate outside to celebrate because we are on the list.

When I arrive at the gym, I took a seat in front.

They are already practicing.

I remember when I first met Ethan. It was here. I was watching them play, and my eyes averted to Ethan. That time, I became his fan. I always go here and watch Ethan practice and play.

But something is bothering me, and I want to ask Ethan about it later after the practice is over.

After an hour, their practice is over, and Ethan went to me and sat beside me. Ethan drank water, and I get his towel and wipe his sweat. I know that Ethan is staring at me.

"Thank you,"

"Welcome"

"Are you two?" Ethan's teammates all said.

"Yes. We are dating," Ethan said.

"You're so lucky, dude,"

"We will be taking our leave,"

"Ok. Take care"

"Uhm, Ethan. May I ask something?"

"What is it?"

"Do you still like Ella? Because Ella told me that you are her secret admirer, and you also confessed to her. And after a week, we started dating"

"To be honest, my feelings for Ella is only an infatuation. When I confessed to her, I thought in advance that if Ella would reject me, I would accept and try to forget it. I start to notice you when we were practicing here, and you grab the ball that rolled. I thought to myself that you are cute and kind. I didn't know that you are popular with the guys. I like you, Kim. Now, did I answered your question?"

"Uhum. And I like you too, Ethan,"

"Ok. I will just change. Wait for me,"

"Ok"

Ethan went to change his jersey.

I am relieved because Ethan answered my question.

"Let's go?" Ethan said and extend his hand.

"Uhum," I said and grabbed his hand.

We went outside the school while holding hands.

Ella's POV

Aden and I are going out of the school building because we were asked to go to the faculty to sort some papers.

When we are walking home, it suddenly rained.

"Oh my. I forgot to bring my umbrella today. Do you have an umbrella, Aden?"

"I forgot to bring it also,"

"Well. Let's make a run for it,"

I dragged Aden and ran. We are now partly wet.

"Let's go to that big tree, Aden,"

Aden and I went to the big tree when I tripped on a rock.

Aden's POV

"Ella!"

I grab Ella's waist, and we are so close to each other. We locked eyes, and I averted my eyes to her lips, and we kissed under the rain.

After we kissed, Ella and I stuck our forehead and smiled.

"Lets' go!"

We went to the big tree to wait for the rain to stop.

"Here. Use my towel to dry your hair and face,"

"Thank you. How about you?"

"I have another one,"

"Ok"

"Let me help you,"

I help Ella wiping her hair with the towel.

Do you remember this place, Aden?"

"I remember it 100%. This is where we first met"

"You're right. It also rained that day. I remember, I immediately had a crush on you,"

"Really? As time goes by, we became close, and I started to like you and about to confess,"

"And then you just disappeared like a bubble. I thought that I wouldn't see you again, but I think fate did its thing to reunite us,"

"Yeah. I was happy when I saw you again, Ella,"

After a few minutes, the rain stopped.

"The rain already stopped. Let's go?"

"Ok"

Ella and I left the place and went home.
