pretend with me!

##Johny##

Her silence reminds me of my real father's. They past the ball to me for me to pick my first player. I turn around to re-state

Johny: If I win, we talk, we put it all on the table, and we will decide how to move forward.

Then I turned back around and picked this one guy who I know can play ball; I saw him around the park a couple of times.

Guy: Yeah, let's do this!

He shouted while high-five-ing Me.

Carla turned around, saying something rather unforgettable.

Carla: Hey, guy! If my team wins. Here are my demands.

Guy: Go ahead, I am sure we will wipe the floor with you.

She gave the most mocking laughter.

Carla: Be serious. We're about to play a game here! If I win!

She said while getting into the guy's face as if she were his opponent.

Carla: I want him to never speak to me again. Whoever dies first, the other cannot attend the funeral.

The whole crowd grew silent; a fun-spirited game had so much weight all of a sudden.

Johny: CARLA!?

She completely ignored me.

Carla: Those are my terms. I need him to say He put it on his honor. I want him to swear to me that He will treat me as He sees me, and that is nothing.

Hearing those hurtful words that came out of her mouth had me wondering, "just how much did I hurt her? what does she mean by I see her as nothing?" that wasn't true at all. I was not sure how I saw her, but it was not a nothing. She's rather aggravating, Rude, Quick-tempered. Then I decided "yes" we definitely needed to talk.

Johny: You sure you don't want to take off the black shade? I don't want you to say it's because of them you lost.

Guy: Um

Carla: Let's play!!!!

I thought it would be hard getting everyone back in a smiling mood after that heavy statements. But for some reason, with her being captain, she got her team fired up by talking smack about every member I picked, which Made my team constantly respond loud. I could tell everyone in the park started to gather around, finding seats where they could, old and young, saying, "this is going to be good I could feel it" she still refused to get those shades off her eyes.

We were neck to neck; every time I scored, she was right behind me, same goes vice versa. We were reaching the end of the game, and I could tell the player I had guarding her was growing tired; she was taking advantage of their stamina using her footwork. I couldn't lose this match, so I called time out; by that time, the crowd boos and ahhs told you, who was for you and who was against you. I was leading; we agreed every point was 1 point; it didn't matter where it was shot, so our younger viewers to not be confused. She didn't answer me directly. Instead, she told one of my players, "ok" I decided to switch positions with him because Carla had the ball, and we all know if Carla had the ball, she would score. I couldn't lose this match. I had too much riding on this. While blocking her, I thought I should use a little force to shake her up a bit. I am not gonna lie. She shook me, though, hard too, but I knocked off her Glasses in the process. Her eyes were gigantic red. It was soo terrible it shocked me. Mind you, my parent is doctors. I've seen a lot of mess-up photos.

Johny: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR EYES??

Carla: It's called PUBERTY!

She said sarcastically. As she scores her last shot. The referee called time. We were out of time. No one won; it was a tie. She picked up her dark shade putting it back on, it cracked, but she didn't seem to care. Just like that, she jogged off. Everyone in the park seemed so blown away by how the game went. It was an emotional roller coaster, and everyone got on the ride with me. The girls were shouting, "that's right, girl," and the guy was like, "man let the man make a mistake, how is He supposed to learn, go head man get your girl back," but I doubt she even notices, she was so focused on winning.

Johny: Better game next time guys

I said, walking home. My parent's car was Nowhere to be found. My sister and I walked inside together.

Johny: Where are our parents?

Sarah: They went for a nice dinner; I suggest it.

Johny: Oh

Sarah: We are being summoned.

I nodded; we both went to her room, where my real mother and real father were waiting for us.

Dad: Your mother called the meeting; go head, honey.

Mom: I will show you instead.

She played her memories like a 95-inch TV screen. She started at Carla's house when her Dad came home. As I watched the replay, it broke my heart more than Stephanie ever could. I was a monster. After hearing how she felt deeply, I had to remember who I am for me not to cry, my heartache even more. Was I a fool all this time not to see this? When I looked at everyone in the room, everyone was in awes.

Mom: She passes with flying colors. I forgot how sensitive mortals could be. I was displaying in his mind of His daughter doing some unspeakable things. I did not know she was going to respond like that. Sorry for the miscalculation, husband.

Dad: I see.

Mom: I also had another footage from today; if you allow me to play it, husband? You might find it amusing.

My father smirked and agreed; she then played the footage from the court earlier today. Everyone was at the edge of their seat! Her demand was so powerful that it made my father, the king, shocked a little. During the game, everyone couldn't keep their eyes off the screen. When she screamed PUBERTY. Everyone died laughing. Although now that I know she spent days crying over me, it doesn't seem funny. It must have been hard to see me so soon, knowing that her heart hasn't healed. By the end of the memory, My Dad stood up. When the king stood up, He was about to make a Declaration.

Dad: Such grace, such elegance, such strength, worthy of a queen.

On that note, My father claims Carla as my wife.

Dad: I want her on the thrown, Johny; make it happen.

Mom: Never have I seen any mortal like her in all my years. She entertains me, and I think I will look over her.

When queen mother proclaims her protection over you. Your enemies will fall by thousands. My father nodded in agreement. She hates me; making her fall for me will not be easy.
