Chapter 7~ The big game

P.O.V~Stephen

Wow!! I have kiss my crush. That's what I told myself. Actually I had kissed many girls but I think this one with Jandra made me felt alive.

I saw how shocked Sabina and Josh were. I didn't care since I knew that Josh had something for my crush. I also noticed how shy she was when she unexpectedly kissed me. She apologized to me though. I asked her if that was her first kiss but she confessed to me that she had her first kiss with Josh. I became very furious but hid it. I then invited her and her bestie Angela to have lunch with me. Well! She wasn't ready to accept but Angie's influence made her accepted to go with me. At lunch, we had a conversation about her parents in which I was surprised. She mentioned to me that she had always been with her bodyguard since childhood. She wasn't even given a little chance to play with the kids in her neighborhood. She also mentioned to me how her senior sister Anita had been treating her when she was asked to babysit her. She would be insulted and beat by her senior sister mercilessly. She also told me how her sister pushed her from upstairs to downstairs. She was admitted in the hospital for about three months because she had a broken leg. I felt so sorry for her so I asked her if she had watched a basketball match before. She gave me no as an answer but she made mentioned of watching it on her phone or tv but not physically. As the senior captain of the basketball team, I invited her to come and watch the game.

In the evening , when I was done preparing for the big game I thought if she would really attend to my invitation. I also felt broke when I thought of her not attending. At the park , I saw lot of students cheering either for us or the opposing team. The cheer team led by Sabina was also cheering for us but I by wasn't satisfied since I felt like half of me wasn't there. I couldn't concentrate on the game during the first half. After the half time, the opposing team was leading with twenty points to five . The coach was really disappointed in me but I assured him we will win the game in the second half.

During the second half, I saw Alejandra and Angela in the crowd cheering for me. I became so happy and relieved so I played the game very well. After the game, we won with thirty four goals to twenty two. Our supporters were very happy for us. I later met Alejandra and she accompanied me to the dressing room. She waited for me outside and we later headed to an ice cream shop for ice cream . From there I accompanied her to her room and I also walked straight to my room.
