TOO HOT TO HANDLE

Students gather in the gym to start with the sports week ceremony. Unlike our gym in my former school, the gym was not crowded, where we had to squeeze ourselves to get a spot on the audience. The opening is more lavish than what we had in public school.

It's pretty close to the national sports opening ceremony. To be honest, the show is spectacular. Still, my mind is on the other side of the campus, in the basketball court where Maddox and Luke had to do a last-minute practice.

I sense Samantha squeeze my lap. "Angel, are you having fun?"

"Yeah, very entertaining."

Sam laughs at me. "Are you sure? You seem bothered. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's watch the show, okay? Don't be silly."

Samantha places a hand on my shoulder as we continue watching the show; however, I still notice myself thinking about Maddox. I can't even comprehend why I find myself yearning to be with him.
