Chapter 1 - He is Alex
"Ready, Go!"
The basketball court was packed with screams and chants, as well as applause. A basketball player shoots the ball. The competition between the two sides to select the winner at the end of the match was observed under the scorching sun. Along with the commencement of the basketball game, two cheerleader teams from the basketball team were on the sidelines encouraging each other.
The pace of the beats of the modified songs swiftly reinforced the atmosphere even more, with the enthusiasm of shouting yells at every cheers dance movement. The audience became enraged as the basketball game and the two cheerleading squads became increasingly heated. Because the weather is so nice today, the players want to get their matches over with as soon as possible.
Despite attending the same school, Firestorm and Infinity have never gotten along and will compete to defeat each other. Each basketball team is made up of students from both classes. Despite this, they will work together to defeat the next team. Each team in a basketball game is assigned a number by the score. Infinity now has a score of 17, while Firestorm has an 18. They still need to score two more points.
Even if the cheerleaders were still enthusiastic about encouraging both teams, the captains of each team exchanged scathing looks. Even though they are exhausted, they do not want to lose. Even though this is not a match for a major event, they must win.
Team Infinity currently controls the basketball game. The team who is one point behind the Firestorm team is attempting to catch up to the Firestorm team ring in order to win one point and force a tie. Now that Infinity has taken control, the tall white-skinned man who is receiving wild yells from the crowd throws the basketball up in the air. The ball had found its way into the net. The athletes got chills from the audience's chants, and the two cheering squads were even more ecstatic because the score would determine who won and who lost after that.
The atmosphere fell silent as captain basketball Infinity and captain basketball Firestorm faced each other and exchanged sharp stares as if they were confident in their ability to win a key point.
"I'm not giving up." Captain Firestorm let out a low snort, his neck straining as he battled his wrath.
"You'll see," Captain Infinity said, calmly smiling as if nothing was wrong.
The ball is thrown up, and the game resumes. The atmosphere heightened the intensity of the two players. The game is equally mysterious, with the audience getting carried away as though each cheerleader despises the other cheerleaders who don't have the same level of support.
"G DOUBLE O D J O B, GOOD JOB! FIGHTS! FREEDOM ON THE FIRE! WE CAN BE A WINNER!" The cheerleader that backs Team Infinity is now yelling with glee to help Team Infinity regain their vitality. How come? The cheerleading squad, particularly the captain, is stunning.
"SPIRIT! THE SPIRIT COME ON YES! FIRESTORM THE ONE! WE WILL WIN!" The support crew for Firestorm didn't want to lose. Under the scorching heat of the sun, the two of them were ecstatic.
The ball is in Captain Infinity's hands; the opponent approaches and tries to seize control, but the captain is just as quick. Captain Infinity sprinted faster towards the basketball hoop, then jumped as high as he could, with a stormy spirit as he saw the opponent's ring.
The ball has made its way into the ring.
The audience erupted in cheers and acclaim, and Infinity supporters screamed with joy, knowing that their proud Infinity team will later represent the school in a national basketball competition. For their triumph, the Infinity team players gave high fives. Team Firestorm moaned in disappointment, and the captain took a deep breath before growling angrily. He and the cheers captain, who was also unhappy, fled the field area.
When it was time for the team to take a break, the basketball players and cheerleaders separated to rest. They began to sip the water that the coach had brought for the basketball and cheering teams to share. Two water bottles were taken by Captain Cheerleader.
"Oh? Isn't it possible to merely drink one bottle?" His look was so strong that he asked the consumption section. The cheerleader's decision to bring two bottles of water is rare.
"This is for Alex, sir." The girl replied, her beautiful face always painted with a smile. Without saying anything further, the consumption section nodded in agreement.
Seen the boy, who was sitting alone on the field's edge, collecting his breath. He was dripping wet, like if he'd just taken a shower. One of the captain's cheerleaders gave a code, and the girl immediately focused on Alex. The captain approached Alex, sat beside him, and handed him a bottle of water after nodding.
"Here's something to drink for you." Alex was given a drink by the girl. Alex simply turned to face him and gazed at the glass of water in front of him. "Is this for you, okay?" Alex took the drink so the girl would stop talking and leave. Alex sipped his drink without saying anything. He only returned a smile. "Congratulations, you were really cool," the girl said, smiling warmly at Alex and hoping for one more word from him.
"Thanks."
"Is your team prepared to compete in the national match?"
"Yes."
"Oh, that's quite stiff. Say something else, man, it's easy... Do you have a good command of the English language?" The girl was irritated and sighed. It's difficult to approach a cold and stiff man like Alex; only speak when absolutely necessary. And those were just a few of the words that came out.
Alex remained silent and glanced straight ahead. The man next to him massaged his chest and waited patiently. "Do you have any girl friends who want to be Captain cheers?" says Lex.
"Nothing is accessible." Alex was difficult to talk to, and just hearing that made him feel like he was going to give up on like him. The young lady bowed her head.
"However, I absolutely need it."
"Why don't you pick from among your own ranks?" The girl laughed and smiled as she woke up after hearing the longest speech she had ever heard from an Alex's voice. It's tough not to be humiliated when this girl's heart is fighting to escape.
"I-I wish it were true, but none of them dared to take on the Lysse team. Even if my squad can always beat Lysse's team, they can't do it without me."
Alex nodded, taking another sip of the drink Hellena had offered him earlier. Alex held a basketball. Then he showed me the drink that Hellena had previously given him.
"I appreciate the drink." He stood up and walked down the school corridor.
Hellena's pals ran up to her, yelling. Hellena is now much more humiliated. He received the impression that Alex had returned his feelings. Hellena surmised that Alex had grown fond of her again.
"All right, honey, best of luck." I'm confident you'll capture Alex's affections shortly! You two will undoubtedly be a fantastic combination throughout the year!" The girl, who wore her long blonde hair in a ponytail, said.
"I suppose once you're dating, you'll have to treat us to a supper at the cafe that'll be opening there! There isn't any valid reason!" Sela, who has shoulder-length short hair, beams. He seemed to be anticipating a response from Hellena.
