'Come on I am going to the ground. What will you do here around these people?' Shane asked me.
'I don't know but I don't wanna go with you.' I scorned at him.
'I also don't wanna take you with me but I am willing to make the sacrifice.' He said.
Sacrifice?! Seriously?!
'Fine I can also make a sacrifice of coming with you!' I told him annoyed.
Well he looks a little different. Let me scan. Okay so...he is wearing a different pair of pants. Actually they are black shorts. His t-shirt is black and white half sleeves. He is wearing a sweat band! Oh!! That is why he is looking different!! Because of his sweat bands!! He is wearing black sports shoes. Black is really his color. He looks best in black.
'Are you coming?' he asked turning back. I was frozen to the spot and admiring his beauty in black. I am such an idiot.
'Coming.' I said.
He didn't take a bike. We walked to the ground. The ground was deserted. I wonder why. It was evening.
I asked Shane 'Why is the ground like this?'
'This ground is always like this.' He said and put the soccer ball on the ground.
'Oh.' I said. Why has he come here then? Maybe he doesn't want anyone to see him practice. Does he stink in playing football?
I sat on the bench and watched him play. I don't know anything about sports. Any sports!!! But I think he is good. The tricks he is doing with that ball. It's so amazing to watch him play. I took out my phone and saw ten messages in the BFF's group, five messages from Aiden and two from Sia.
Messages from Sia said
'Hey Erika!'
'Are you okay? I heard Shane almost broke your wrist. He is such a shit.'
I know Shane hurt my wrist and he acts all rude with me but I didn't like it when Sia called him a shit.
I replied to her 'Yes Sia I am good. Shane took me to a doctor and don't call him a shit!'
Next I opened Aiden's messages.
'Hey Erika! You okay right?!'
'How is your wrist?!'
'I hope you are doing well.'
'Take care of yourself.'
'I will see you tomorrow at school.'
I replied 'I am alright Aiden. My wrist is alright. Don't worry about me. Bye.'
The BFF's group was filled with messages about Shane being shit, idiot, rude, asshole and ever possible slang.
'Oh they abuse me?' I heard Shane say. I was startled. The phone fumbled in my hands. He grabbed my phone and handed it over to me.
'Why aren't you practicing?' I ask putting my phone back in the pocket.
'I came here to drink some water.' He said.
He sipped water from the bottle a little then poured some on his face and hair. He shook his face. Tiny droplets of water or sweat shot to my face. His hair is so simple yet attractive.
'Are you done?' I asked him. I don't wanna go home with all those workers hovering around.
'Yes. Actually dad said the workers will be gone by seven thirty. It's still seven. We can grab some food if you want.' He suggested. Food? Grab?! If I want?! What is wrong with him?
