Saturday, me and my friends headed out to watch the basket ball game that is held on the basketball gym, I wore a grey off-shoulder crop top, some black high waist shorts and a pair of converse, I also tied my hair into half ponytail with a white ribbon.
I have my small black sling bag over my shoulders containing my wallet, phone and keys. Liz and Sam can't stop giggling while talking about the upcomming game where Clyde and Ace will be playing.
Loraine didn't want to come but we forced her to watch so we can bond together, Annie on the other hand has been silent than her usual self but we didn't bother putting our nose up her bussiness, she'll open up to us when she's ready.
"Sam!/Liz!" I chuckled and Sam and Liz became silent when their suitors called them.
"Hey" Sam smiled and Liz just waved at Zen as we approach their place.
"Great timing, there's only a few people inside, we should take the front seat" Zen jolly said.
"That's great" Liz smiled then a bus arrived and stopped in front of us, I sighed and looked away when the player's from the other Academy jumped out the bus.
Icer secretly held my arm while Sam crossed her arms while eyeing them. They all look so full of themselves and it's disgusting, a guy suddenly approached us with a playful smile on his face and eyed me intently making me uncomfortable.
"Good morning beauty, is this the basketball gym?" He asked, I rolled my eyes.
"Can't you read the sign?" I sarcasly said making him drop his smile and his team mates laughed.
"Oh right, I'm sorry" he scratched the back of his head and I left to enter the gym with my friends following me.
"Hey Tine, Ace wanted to meet you at the locker room" Zen whispered to me and I nod.
"Save me a seat" I told Loraine and she nod before I walked towards the locker area.
I saw their coach waiting for them outside so I approached him and greeted him after catching his attention.
"Ace, she's here" he called then I heard his running shoes squeaking by the floor as I lean over the wall and wait for him.
Not for long when I saw him step out of the locker area and greeted me with a smile.
"Doing warm ups?" I asked, trying hard not to compliment him from flexing his muscular body because of his jersey.
"Yeah, I assume someone already hit on you base on your annoyed look?" He asked the obvious look I have.
"Yes, don't worry I'm only stuck to you, also stop being jealous and focus on the game" I assured him and he smirked.
"That's my girl, now where's that good luck kiss you promised me?" He eagerly leaned down to level his face to mine.
I giggled and gave him a kiss on the lips that lasted for a 5 full seconds before pulling away and messed his hair, he grinned and showered my face with his kisses before rushing back inside to avoid getting scolded by me.
I frowned and touched my face, luckily its still clean and fresh, knowing that guy when he pampered me with his kisses- it's sometimes ended up with him messing my hair, clothes or his cherry flavored lip balm will sometimes stick on my face.
After that, I made my way back towards the exit to meet up with my friends when I bumped into someone, my eyes widen when I realize that it was the guy who hit on me earlier.
He gave me a teasing grin while his team mates smirked at the scene we have, oh looks like my luck went to Ace.
"Oh little miss, are you lost? Well that's kinda impossible since you're studying here" he smirked.
"Are you perhaps, stalking me?" He maliciously added making me want to punch him in the balls, I smiled sweetly catching them off guard while hiding my hands behind my back.
"Oh I'm sorry to burst your bubble mister but I'm already taken, I just meet up with my boyfriend a while ago to wish him good luck and now on my way to take a relaxing seat on the bleachers with my friends" I said without removing my smile.
"H-huh? Oh..." he suddenly looked down making me smirk, that's two points for me.
"Don't get so full of yourself gentlemen, this isn't your territory" I seriously said before walking pass them.
"Tine? Hey he's looking for you" Clyde suddenly said when I saw into him in the hallway.
"Yeah I already met up with him, good luck on the game Clyde, Loraine's watching" I teased while nudging his side, he blushed and looked away.
"I know, t-thanks" he muttered then I happily skipped out the hallway.
I inhaled deeply as soon as I step out the bleachers section, I saw my friends waving at me and I immediately walked over their direction, I sat between Sam and Loraine on the front row keeping my mind wonder off the whole gym.
The gym is now full of students, some are students from Golden Gates Academy because they are wearing their uniform while us, Emprium Academy students are wearing our casual clothes.
"What took you so long?" Sam asked me.
"He demanded a lot of kisses" I simply answered then Lorained poked my side causing me to flinch.
"Ace isn't the type of guy to show his affection to you in public, he really change because of you" Icer said, I rolled my eyes at him.
"I can tell the same thing to you" I fired back and he look away in an instant and cleared his throat.
Our conversation ended when cheers, squeals and yells suddenly arouse from the whole gym, this is really why I hate watching games in a covered court, my eardrums gonna burst.
We remained silent while looking over the court, the Golden Gates Academy team jogged out the court and one by one of them started showing off their skills but neither of them made me impress, the students from their school cheered for them, showing their great support.
When they were done, it was our school team's turn to show off, of course I was proud to say that our Academy is the best when it comes to everything, we are just not enhance by knowledge but also in sports and other fields.
I kept my eyes on Ace while he did a 3-points shoot and it did shoot towards the net and I almost squeal in amusement, he then turn to my direction and winked at me making me grin and shook my head.
"GO SALAZAR!!" I flinched when I heard a loud yell from behind us, I look back to see Troy and Pierce with a banner with his name.
"Such fanboys" Liz giggled and Zen laughed.
The two are also wearing a black shirt with Ace's jersey number plastered on it. Sofia was also with them but she seems out of place while sitting next to her boyfriend, I smiled at her and asked her if she want to seat with us but she softly declined the offer.
"You two are embarassing the name of our group" Icer scolded them.
"Come on Icer, you're our leader" Pierce frowned but Icer glared at them.
~
"GO DEATH GO! WOOH!" Sam put her lips on the side trying hard not to scold someone.
I bit my lower lip and forced my self to look on the court and don't look back, Sofia also took a seat beside us because it was too noisy at the back.
Zen and Liz laughed their hearts out while the three was getting out of hand on the back.
"These guys..." Lorained pinched the bridge of her nose then I crack a soft smile.
"I don't know them, I don't know them, I don't know them" Sam uttered irritately.
It was already the 3rd quarter and our team is leading the score, 12 points advance compared to our opponents from the other school.
At the first 2 quarters, the game was tough and their scores were all getting tied up close to each other but looks like our team finally thought of a strategy to collect the scores.
"Fxcking get the score Clyde!!" I blinked twice and turn to Loraine who suddenly yelled then look back at the court.
I saw Clyde flinch before giving Loraine at stern look before smirking, Ace then pass the ball to him and he scored the ball in no time.
"Huh, I guess he listens to you very well" I clapped gently then she rolled her eyes not minding that she's all glowing pink now.
"WOOH! GET THE NEXT POINT DEATH!!" My eyes twitch and grinned evily before turning my head towards the three.
"SHUT UP!" Sam scolded and they immediately sat back down, I look at her impressed.
"Nice job Sam" I tap her shoulder and she sighed.
"They're being too much" she whispered and I nod in response.
Whenever Ace scored I don't react too much and just simply clapped my hands but totally have no reactions when his other team mates are scoring, unfair right? I know that, but I'm afraid he'll lose it when I start cheering for others.
A few foul play occured mostly between the guy who hitted on me between Ace or probably Clyde, there's also the guy wearing some eyeglasses on the other team who is just sitting by the bench stealing glances from the ladies who are with me- or should I say most of the guys who are sitting by the bench.
It was the forth quarter when the guy with glasses got replaced someone on their team who got injured, he once more gaze up at our direction secretly and smirked, I suddenly don't feel good about this, I swallowed a lump on my throat then turn to Ace's group who are seriously meeting up with a new strategy.
"I don't feel good about him" Loraine muttered.
"There's still a couple of points away from them, I don't think they can catch up that easily" Sofia said.
"Hope so" Liz mumbled then the buzzer rang indicating to start the game.
Clyde has the ball and he is currently surrounded by three opponents, Ace was near their scoring net and the rest of his team are scattered near Clyde's place. Clyde passed the ball to their team mate but my eyes widened when it got stolen by the glasses guy so quick.
"What the fudge?" Sam uttered when he shoot it on the 3-points distance.
The guy who hitted on me smirked at Ace but sad to say that Ace ignored him instead, he then look at my direction and smirk before walking back to his group.
"Those guys are getting full of them selves" Troy said and the two boys chuckled.
"Too bad Death knows how to handle these kind of things now since Cursetine is here" Icer teased making me chuckle.
The game went on and the opponents manage to catch up with our score and it's furstrating me, our team seems to be calm while the opponents are trying their best to pissed our players.
I saw how their lips move, starting a conversation with Clyde who was standing on the front line, Clyde has his playful smile plastered on his face and Ace just shook his head at him.
"I'll use the bathroom for a second" I told the girls.
"I'll come with you" Loraine said and I nod before we stood up amd carefully walked out the gym.
On the way to the ladies bathroom, we saw a group of ladies blocking the way, their uniforms says 'GGA' meaning that they came from the other school, they were talking loudly as if they own the place.
"Excuse me," I said politely and the four of them turn to me.
"What?" The short girl asked arrogantly.
"Uhm, can we pass through the bathroom? You're blocking the way" I said in a calm voice.
"And so? It's not our problem, besides this school of yours are far from our school, this hallway is so small tsk" said by the one who looks like a walking coloring book painted by 3 years olds.
Well the hallways here in the gym are narrow because students often run here and it causes a lot of accidents so it's better that way than to have a wide hallway.
I pinched the bridge of my nose and took a deep breath to calm down, considering that they are just visitors of school, acting like that towards 'us' the students is a total violation because the Emprium Academy doesn't want outsiders to just bully the name of our school like that.
"Miss we're not looking for a fight, we just want to go to the bathroom so please exc-"
I was about to walk pass them when the tallest female among them- well she's the tallest so far but I'm still taller than her if it wasn't just for her heels- suddenly pushed me back but Loraine manage to catch my balance.
"Don't you have manners? We're still talking to you" The 'spoiled' looking female raised her eyebrow while crossing her arms, well she looks like a walking jewelry shop because of her jewelries.
"Pardon my interuption miss' but I think you should be the ones who's showing us 'manners' because you are here in our school" Loraine butted in as she hid me behind her.
"Excuse me?!" The coloring book exclaimed.
"You're excuse" Loraine said sarcasly and I bit my inner cheeks to surpass my laughter.
"Why you-!"
"Something wrong here?" She wasn't able to finish her words when someone spoke behind us.
"S-Sofia!" Loraine exclaimed and we both bowed our heads not wanting to look at her deadly smile, her aura feels like she's torturing us here.
"It's none of your bussiness" the bratty one said and Sofia faked a gasp, bad move girl.
"Violating our co-students I see, you two are excuse, let me handle the rest thank you!" she hurriedly pushed us away- pass the girls as we gave her a thankful smile before leaving the scene.
I think it's better to leave the issue to those who are in power, Sofia may be alone against the four of them but I know she can handle it well.
"You done?" I blinked twice before turning to Loraine who was fixing her hair beside me.
"Yeah" I nod and turn to the sink to wash my hands and wipe it with a paper towel.
We both walked back towards gym, the girls and Sofia were no where to be found, I let out a silent sigh, maybe they already fixed the issue.
On the way back, loud screams of victory were heard, is the game done? That fast? Wait, how long are we inside the bathroom?
Lorained pulled me as we jogged towards where we were sitting earlier I saw how my friends cheered with Sofia and confetti suddenly poured down from above, I look over the court and saw how our team cheered and hugged each other while the other team was left disappointed.
I look over the score board and saw the GGA having 121 points and the EA having 124 points.
"They won!" I exclaimed happily then me and Loraine hugged each other.
Tho I feel a little sad because I wasn't able to see who made the last winning point.
One by one of my schoolmates started to leave the gym to attend their extra classes and other bussinesses leaving us with the students from the other school, they don't have the headmaster's permission to roam around the academy and that's just so sad, the Academy really value our safety and privacy from outsiders.
In fact this is the first time that we have the other school visit here, it's always our school who is usually visiting the other school's whenever a practice match is held or other activities.
After the little celebration, both teams headed back to their locker rooms to freshen up, Icer suddenly pulled Sam down the court to play with the confetti- psh these people acted like we don't have any extra classes tonight.
I shook my head but suddenly stumbled down when Liz and Zen ran towards the two, swiftly bumping my shoulder, Troy helped me up while Sofia chuckled.
"Wait up!" Annie yelled at Loraine who was making her way down.
I pouted and followed them down the court, I took out some water bottle on Loraine's back pack and sat on Ace's chair from earlier before drinking it.
A few janitors started cleaning the gym and after a few more minutes both teams walked out on the court to greet each other, lightly bothered by how serious the other team is- especially their coach, are they not happy about the results?
"Good game!" They all said and I smiled when his eyes met mine, his smile widened and approached my place.
I giggled before I rose from my seat and walked over him slowly.
"Congratulations, you played well" I smiled brightly at him then he suddenly leaned down to capture my lips for a second before turning to Clyde.
"And that wasn't nice for you to answer his pissing question earlier" he seriously said and Clyde gulped and looked away.
"Great work Clyde" Lorained blushed and that was enough for him to smiled brightly.
"DEATH JAXEN ACE!!" I sighed deeply when the three began to hype up once again.
Ace just shook his head and took my water bottle away from me and drank all of it making me drop my jaw to the floor.
"What?" He asked.
"T-that's mine!" I complained then he gave me his famous smirk.
"Babe, don't act like that considering it's just a indirect kiss, we did more than that" he playfully wink and I blushed, just how dare him?!
"Ooh shocks" Sam and Liz coughed teasingly and I shot a death glare at them and they turn away.
"Stop that" I muttered and smack his muscular arms but he just laughed at me.
He then remove his jacket and wrapped it over my waist and pulled me away from where his team mates were, my eyes widened when he brought me infront of the guy who hitted on me that was talking to the guy with eyeglasses, it sucks to call them that because I don't even know their names.
"Are you reffering to this girl earlier?" He asked seriously to his opponent.
"Oh miss beauty," he smirked, I frowned then Ace yanked my arm back causing me to stumble to his chest.
"I told you, I already have a boyfriend" I crossed my arms and glared at him.
"Right, and she's mine" Ace spun me around to face him and kissed me, in front of them.
My eyes automatically closed when I felt the warmth of his lips against mine and my fingers grasp on his shirt tightly as I felt my cheeks burning, mostly he would only display this side of him privately, but today seems to be different.
After a good 5 seconds he pulled away and I groaned then hide my face on his chest, I felt his strong arms wrapped around my figure and planted a kiss on top of my head.
"I already proved it haven't I? Now leave 'my' girl alone" that was the only thing I heard before I was once again dragged towards somewhere.
"Still shy?" I heard him asked and I look up at him to give him a glare, he smirked and messed my hair.
"Alright, I'm sorry" he raised his arms as a sign of surrender, I sighed and pinched his nose before taking my phone out my bag when I felt it vibrating.
"It's my cousin, go get your bag, I'll treat you some lunch" I told him.
"Alright, I'll meet you outside then" he said and I nod then waving to my friends before walking out the covered gym.
"Hi Honey!" I chirpped.
"Hey baby cousin, the others told me to check up on you so, how are you?" He asked, I smiled.
"I'm doing fine, we have an extra class tonight and our class is having some review sessions to prepare for the examinations" I told him.
"You seem busy, I wish you good luck on your exams" he happily said.
"Awe thanks cous, also congratulations to your relationship, I wish you two the best" I said, he chuckled.
"Thanks cous, well I just called to check you up so yeah, I hope to see you soon, take care of yourself okay?" he sighed contently.
"Yeah I will, see you soon, I miss you guys bye!" I said and hang up.
I set my phone back inside my bag and turn around to see Ace who just walked out the gym, I waited for him to reach my place before we made our way towards the grand hall to buy some lunch and eat it on the garden behind the girls' building.
After that we both parted ways because he needs to rest while I need to finish up the rest of my homeworks. On the way to the elevator, Louanne suddenly tugged my shoulder making me turn to her.
"What's up?" I asked her.
"Well..."
