Chapter 1

"Go, Captain! Woaaah!" Aliyah shouted. I cover my ears when both teams supporter yell their Department chant. Everyone screaming crazy especially the girls when my team department enter the scene. The boys from the team wave their hands and assemble themselves to the court. I notice in my peripheral view that Aliyah is now staring straight to me with suspicious look. I look up her and ask.

"What?" trying to ignore her prying eyes.

"Why so beautiful, lady?" i rolled my eyes. Everytime she does that she always ask me a favor.

"No, Aliyah." I told her.

"Wait, Anne. Please!" She says and now caught my arm shaking and pleading. I really hate this.

"No. Not gonna happen." I told her again. I'm not gonna let her win this time.

"Come on, babe. I promise this will be the last time I ask you a favor. Please! I just -- you know uhm want" I cut her off. I know what she wants.

"No" I don't want to.

"Yes, please." she wink her eyes like a lost dog. Damn this girl.

"Not gonna happen, idiot. Not in front of him."

" Stupid, bitch. Let him be."

"Watch your mouth, Aliyah Andrews." she mimick the way I said it.

"Tsk! Whatever you say, Anneliese." After the liitle argument she turn her back and walk away. I sigh knowing I upset here.

The crowd went wild when the captain shoot 3 points and they win. The other team send congrats to our team. The game is not that what you read in novels. It's like peaceful. After the match everyone leave the gym to eat lunch first. I was about to leave when someone shout my name.

"Anne!" Eric called. I turn around and smiled at him. He signal me to come close to him so I did.

"So, did you enjoy the match?" He ask. I just nodded

"congrats" I said. I actually did not enjoy it because my mind is occupied.

We talk for awhile and bid goodbye. Yet, this Ariel guy pass by. So, in panic I called him.

"Ariel!" He look at me

"Uhm yes?" He ask

"Can I get your number?" Shock of what he heard. I turn around and curse myself.

"Uhm sorry. You know uhm never mind" I told him and walk away without turning back.

"Hey! I can give you." I stop of what I heard. I turn around to face him. He smiled and walk closer to me.

"Here. Calling card." He give it to me and wink. Because of embbarassment I shyly accepted the calling card and walk away.

Shit. This is Aliyah's fault. I won't do it this again, ever again. I was about to exit the gym when a familiar figure caught my eyes. I didn't mind him not until he speak.

"Home." Home means explain what the hell did you do. Home means get home right now. Home means get ready to be scolded.
