'1-0'
'2-0'
'accept the challenge' that was the only thing that was flashing into Mark's mind
He had to make a plan quickly at that moment and smiled to his plan
In the other hand, James thought that Mark must be very angry, so he shifted a bit, letting Lucy to see him
Lucy's gaze changed its direction to the door 🚪, James turned as well hoping to see the angry Mark but was surprised when he saw him smiling
James turned and Lucy was already smiling
The package was still on the desk, Mark walked in and brought out a hand for shake which James took as they smiled
Lucy smiled as well thinking that through her, they were brought together
"take a look at the package he brought for me, can I accept it?" Lucy asked raising the package up
Mark turned to face her
He dropped his bag and collected the package smiling
James face changed instantly but had to maintain since Mark was also maintaining
"so it's left for me to make the decision?" Mark returned the question still smiling just to be sure as he kept his face straight looking at Lucy who smiled
"yes of course" Lucy replied making Mark to smile the more
Mark looked at the package again then looked at James who was just faking a smile
"he asked me to wear it on my birthday, and he even made it two but the same design" Lucy added
On hearing of 'birthday', his mind flew up
He couldn't believe that he forgot about her birthday
But he also wondered on how he got to know about her birthday
"oh you have already told him your birthday?" Mark asked to be sure
"of course not, I don't know how he got to know" Lucy replied
"interesting, that means this one must be mine" Mark said as he collected the other package from James
James wanted to hold it back but he had to pretend for Lucy not to know that they were still not in good terms as he forced out a smile
"Thanks for the gift" Mark said smiling
James know already that he was mocking at him
James was lost but he had to maintain the fake smile and returned to his seat

During break period, Mark and Mikhail was in their normal hall as usual, chatting and laughing
"remember it's still 2-0" Mikhail said as Mark looked at him
"it can't be, she asked me to be the one that made the decision for her" Mark tried protesting
"don't even go there, making the decision for her doesn't have anything to do with the game" Mikhail paused while Mark was looking at him to continue
"she did that just because you two are the one dating, so she wouldn't want to make you feel bad, if you don't know, James is getting a room" Mikhail said
"still 2-0" Mikhail added
"remember, we haven't started our own bet" Mikhail said again
"you're just trying to scatter my brain" Mark said scratching his head as he faced a pillar thinking and hitting on it
When James walked in
"and we have a company" Mikhail said making Mark to turn
"am still winning remember" James said walking closer
Mark had to do the same
"already done twice" James added
"how can you think of that, even after that, she still asked me to make the decision for her and I also collected the other package from you" Mark said almost laughing
"don't even think of it, she was only giving you benefit of doubt" James responded
Just then, there was a sound that came from a corner making James to smile
James and Mikhail was just confused
James walked closer to Mark
"hope you saw exactly what happened yesterday? Am not going to quit, am just going to have my way on her" James said as he laughed provoking Mark
"fool, you can't even stop me" James added
Mark couldn't control himself anymore as he angrily folded his arms and punched James on his stomach as he shouted in pain
Mark then felt a shadow standing at the door post
He checked well and saw Lucy standing there
His face changed instantly
James didn't turn because he knew who that must be
"you really have a hot temper bro" James holding his stomach
"but please don't use it on my Miss Beauty, I can't stand it" James added as he patted Mark on his shoulder and turned but pretended to be shocked when he saw Lucy standing there
He just looked back at Mark then smirked at him before turning and left
"that dude is crazy" Mikhail said immediately he left
Lucy didn't say a word rather she kept looking at Mark and Mark was doing the same
Lucy turned left
"This is getting me crazy" Mark said as the sound flashed back in his mind
He remembered Phillip hitting his hand on his desk earlier that day when he arrived in the class
Then the same sound was what they heard before James decided to rant that nonsense
"seems like he knows that she was coming?" Mark added
"maybe" Mikhail replied as he adjusted himself on where he sat
++++
Lucy walked into the classroom scratching her head as she sat
Becky saw that and smiled before going to meet her
"what's the problem?" Becky asked
"Mark is changing a little, am just confused" Lucy replied placing her hand on her desk
"so what are you planning on doing?" Becky asked
"That's why I said am confused, he thought I might fall in love with James making him to be changing but that won't be possible" Lucy replied
"I didn't like Mark in the first place, I think his real self is just coming out" Becky said but Lucy turned in disbelief of what she heard from her
"why would you think of that, no one can stand a heart break, you know that" Lucy defended
"sorry, am just saying" Becky said as she changed her face direction facing the door

The following day, there was announcement brought to the school about the upcoming match that another school would come for them
Mark was always perfect in everything
he was also a good player as well
"The rules is that it will be between final year classes and we all know that we don't have much good players from the final year" The principal said during the announcement
"I advise you to check very well within you, maybe there might be some hidden players in your class, even the new comers" the principal said again
On hearing that, James smiled
He wasn't a player before but he knew a little in dribbling
"Mark, this lies on your shoulder, check it out and make out days for training" The principal added as he dismissed the gathering

James and Phillip waited outside while others went inside
"you were busy smiling, do you have a plan?" Phillip asked
"you know already that I have to participate because of Mark" James replied
"do you know how to play?" Phillip asked
"not really but I will try"
"how do you mean? Hope you are not planning on injuring Mark during the match?" Phillip asked
"no, injuring him might be a way of putting them together more because Lucy would be close to him and attend to him if he injured 🤕" James replied
"so, what's your plan?" Phillip asked
"Mark is a hot temper guy, so watch and see my plan" James replied and walked inside the class
He saw Mark discussing with Lucy and thought that was the best time
"hope am not interrupting?" James asked as he placed his hand on their desk
Lucy looked at Mark first but Mark kept a normal face
she turned to James
"not really" Lucy replied
"okay, I wouldn't want to waste much time, but please Lucy will you watch us during the training?" James asked making Mark to look at him in confusion
"and who appointed you as one of our players?" Mark returned the question that was not meant for him
'still your nature's Mikhail thought because he was hearing their conversation
"I was one of the best player back then in my former school" James lied smiling
"I see" Mark said relaxing well on his seat
"so will you?" James asked referring to Lucy
"no, she won't" Mark replied
"she has the right to decide on this one" James said looking at Lucy
Mark at the same time turned looking at Lucy
Lucy was just lost not looking at any of them
