Seven

Hilary stuck standing next to Luna and Milton who are dancing together like they are at a club and not a sports game jealously tightens her fists. To make her blood boil even worse, is the fact that Bridget is dancing with Jet.

"Is he aware that your father and his father are discussing a proposal between the two of you?" Mira watching Bridget flirt with her dancing, "She should not be dancing like that in oublic in the first place. She doesn't respect herself." Mira turns her head startled when everyone on their side suddenly screams when the first 5 minutes of the second half start in a goal from Rudy.

"No!!" Milton yells, he doesn't want to face off with Luna in the finals, he wants the team to lose.

Luna looks at Milton.

Milton kisses her forward, "That was a joke."

"It better be." Luna celebrates.

Andy walks towards Jet, "Hey, I hear you're going to be engaged to Hilary, is that true?" She asks Jet while Bridget is distracted by the other supporters singing together.

Jet looks at Andy raising a brow, "Who are you? And why would you ask me something like that, at a place like this?"

"Hilary is talking about it at a place like this." Andy blatantly points a finger at Hilary, she adjusts her posture, keeping her back straight, her arms by her sides and tilting her head as though posing for a photo, just like she has been practicing with the modeling agency she recently signed with now that she is officially a member of Diamonds. She wants to charm Jet, and maintain his attention on her.

"I would never marry Hilary." Jet leans in to answer her, the noise is so loud he can't hear some of his own words.

"She says her father is already talking with your father about a proposal." Andy says.

"Go tell her my father would never choose my partner for me. I don't want her." Jet gestures with a low anti clock wise wave of his arm for Andy to go send his message.

Andy walks away smiling, blushing about talking to Jet.

"What was that about?" Bridget asks.

"No idea." Jet looks at the game, "Hey our team is playing differently. They aren't running all over the place this half." He points it out excited by how dynamic the game is.

Bridget who is still a bit slow to get it nods, "Soccer is more fun in person. It's boring on TV."

Jet leans forward watching closely. The changed strategy has made the game even more exciting to him, he can't tell exactly what it is, but something about the field feels exciting. It looks alive, "Woah." His heart races as the ball makes it's way towards the opposing teams goal post. His heart slowly stops when the ball is blocked. It races as he watches the team sprinting after the ball. His body leans forward, watching the opposing team breaking through their defenses. His knees buckle when the goalie stops the shot, "What the hell? Why did they all run after the ball?" He notices the coach yelling at them for the same reason.

He smiles, "Are they nervous?"

Bridget shakes his head, "No, maybe the new strategy is not their usual play style, so when faced with a challenge, they reacted instinctively, resorting to their usual style of play."

"The coach changed the strategy for a reason. Their usual style doesn't work against this team. They were moving so well before." Jet looks at the players looking at each other and moving forward with one touch passes, "Yeah, that works."

Bridget pays attention. She just sees the ball and people running. She can't tell what's different down there.

"Woah, they changed their style of play." Milton leans forward, "Fuck, they might actually win. I thought your team didn't have brains, you just run aggressively and score."

Luna pulls on his ear, "We are winning this tournament. Got that?"

"Ow! Okay, I'll beat you at the finals." Milton kisses her cheek.

Luna smiles, "You wish."

Andy looks at Hilary, "Jet sent me here with a message for you."

Hilary smiles excited, "Yes?" She hooks her arm to Andy's anticipating good news.

"He said I must tell you that he would never marry you, and his father would never choose who he must marry, so your father's proposal won't be successful." Andy smiles happily delivering the message.

Hilary's smile dangerously drops, turning into a threatening side eye, "You went over there to gossip about me?"

"No, I went over there to clear the air. I think he's cute, and you are now talking about him like you've claimed him, but from the moment we arrived here. He hasn't glanced at you even once." Andy removes her arm from Hilary's clutches, "Don't you think it's pathetic Hilary, that the only way you can get a boyfriend is if your parents forced him to date you?"

Luna and Milton both turn their heads over hearing the conversation.

Hilary's jaw drops, no one but Luna talks to her like that, and she made sure to ruin Luna's name to the extent that people are afraid to associate with her. Hilary almost got to Milton, but he eventually got back with Luna after some time.

Even Bridget started rebelling and she brought in Andy to replace her childhood best friend.

Hilary takes a deep breath, giving Andy a stink eye, she pouts thinking to herself how important she is. She is known as the Queen of the South. She is the respected all over, and everyone calls her the Alpha of all the Young Females in White Lotus. One word from her could make or break anyone, it doesn't matter if they are an adult, or how rich they are, "One phone call from me Giovanna, and I will ruin your mother, and even your father, and even anyone else you are close with, so I would suggest you apologize if you know what's good for you. Don't you dare forget that the Aquarium your mother is trying to buy belongs to White Lotus. I will call Maria right now and she will decline your mother's proposal immediately, by the time you get home you'll find your sorry mother sobbing in tears over losing the Aquarium."

Andy's sly smirk instantly drops, her mother said Patu owns the Aquarium, she didn't know Patu lost the legal battle for the Aquarium.

"On your knees, or I make the call." Hilary holds up her phone.

Andy looks at the other Diamonds girls to help her out of the situation but they all look in every direction pretending they didn't see anything. Her heart drops, and her legs feel like they are vibrating, she doesn't want to do it.

She turns her head looking at Luna, and realizes no one hates Hilary more than her. She begs for help with her eyes, and takes a step back when Luna moves to stand next to Milton instead of in front of him. Her heart breaks, as she assumes Luna is ignoring her, but notices an open pathway to Jet.

She realizes Luna has been stopping Hilary and her friends from getting past her to access Jet this entire time, and the only reason she was given access to Jet in the first place is because she moved out of the way to let her pass.

"I'm waiting Giovanna." Hilary pouts.

"No!" Andy walks towards Jet to tell om Hilary.

Luna blocks Hilary's path when she tries to pass, "Don't even think about it, we all heard you."

Milton looks at his sister disappointed in her choice of friends. He stands in front of Luna protectively when Hilary starts yelling names at his girlfriend so the crowd can listen to her, "I would suggest you leave, I will have Akira here in less than a minute."

Hilary glances at where Akira was seated and notices him coming closer. She shoves Milton and storms away, "Lets go Diamonds, we're done here."

Aruna and Mira quickly chase after Her. Milani takes Hilary's bag and jacket and runs behind them.

Jet looks at Andy, "Can you let go of me, your friends left, so go back to your seat, this doesn't mean stand next to me." He looks at Bridget, her mood completely changed when Andy stood between the two of them, and they have been having fun together since the game started. The Diamonds have upset her enough.

Andy leaves when Jet takes Bridget's hand hugging her.

"How about we grab some snacks? I don't like that sad look on your face." Jet smiles wanting to cheer her up.

Bridget nods, "A drink would be nice."

Helia stands up. He noticed how Jet was enjoying himself, "I'll get it. What do want?"

Jet asks Bridget.

"You stay Jet. I'll go with Helia, I tend to be indecisive." Bridget walks with Helia.

Jet turns to the game, "Next time I am going to V.I.P. it's annoying watching with interruptions."

Luna laughs, "These games don't have V.I.P. Just keep the trouble makers away."

Jet nods, "Noted."

Milton looks at Akira standing next to him, "I'll be right back." He kisses Luna's cheek and follows Akira to talk somewhere private.

Luna looks at Rex and Jack coming to sit with them. It feels like Hilary absorbed all the positive energy and now the game is looking slow.

Jet feeling the same way sits down.

"I thought I warned you. Hilary is like this when you're not around." Rex says, "She has a different personality depending on who is there."

Jet sighs, "Look, I don't want to talk about her and give her the satisfactory of getting to us. I am genuinely enjoying this game."

Rex sits back, "No you're not. Hilary always leaves a toxic energy. She just sucks the life out of everything."

"Talking about her is forbidden as of this moment." Jet looks at the other team scoring, "Oh come on!!"

Rex laughs, "We've still got the upper hand."

"Yeah. This new strategy is effective. I haven't lost faith in our chance to win, but the opponents are strong, and don't forget that the players down there are the second string. I'm amazed they made it this far."

"So is everyone on their side. We didn't expect to have such a good season." Rex smiles.

"I really hope to see the finals." Jet sits at the edge of his seat.

Luna looks at her ring glowing.

Jet notices, "What's wrong? It should only do that when something is wrong."

Luna looks at him, "Well, I did suddenly feel off, I'm feeling better."

"Hilary, I felt the same way after she left."

"I didn't. She left I felt fine. It was Andy." Luna pouts, "And it kills me to say this. I wish it was Hilary. I hate her."

Jet sighs in relief, "I was worried it was a member of Lotus. I'll be sure to have Andy thoroughly investigated."

"I can't believe they scored again." Luna pouts.

"You two are so involved withthisgame." Jack yawns, he prefers sitting next to Sabine.

Luna screams when Katsuki misses his shot, "Oh come on!!"

"He is injured. They should take him out." Jet looks at the couch making a substitution, "Thank goodness."

Luna pouts, "How did he get injured? Katsuki was fine."

Jet sighs, "I wonder."

Jack looks at Jet, "You don't think it's the same thing as the first string do you?"

"Could be, he played well in spite of his injuries. We'll hear from my father how they handled the situation. I still don't want to involve the girls." Jet whispers between himself and Jack.

"Understood."
