"I hate being in varsity."

"Same." Me and Adam whispered to each other as we witness the rest of the varsity team steal other people's lunch.

Then Kenny walks past our table. He waves to us and we waved back. Then Riley stops him.

"What do we have here?" He said.

"Shit. What do we do?" I whisper to Adam. "You save him. That's your boyfriend." He whispers back. "You're a great friend, you know that?" I said, sarcastically.

"C'mon, Rick, stop it." I finally spat. He just ignored me. He passed out all of Kenny's snacks. I got one of them and kept it. Then Kenny left and sat at the other table with the ducks.

"I'll be back." I said to Adam then left to the Ducks table. I went to Kenny.

"Here." I whispered, looking around. "This is all I could save from you're lunch. You're welcome." I said, looking at him as he looks up at me.

He smiled and gave me a small peck on the lips.

"That was dangerous." I said.

"But worth it." He said with a wink. I rolled my eyes, smiling, then left back to my table.

"Y/l/n, what was that?" Said Riley. "What was what?" I said, "what's going on?" I whispered to Adam but he looked away.

I look back at Rick, "What?" "You're dating that kid?" He asked. "Who said that?"

"No one but that kiss." He said. I didn't say anything back.

"When you're in this team, you don't fool around with your opponents. You can't be seen with him, you hear me?" He said. I had no motivation to argue so I just rolled my eyes.

"What a dick." I whisper to Adam.

"I know." He replied.

JV vs Varsity. I knew if I was seen with Kenny, holding hands or anything, it'll give both of us a bad label and in a school like this, it seems terrible.

I feel bad for ignoring Kenny all the time. I can hardly speak to him in private since my brother is Rick's friend so I can't call him either. I really wish I could talk to him just regularly again.

"I hate coach for putting us on this shitty ass team." I said to Adam who's been my best friend throughout the whole time we're in varsity.

"Me too. Anything you think at this point, I agree with it." He said, "How're things with Ken?" "How am I supposed to know if we've done nothing for so long? I bet you he hates me right now." I said.

"I'm sure he'll understand. He'll forgive you." He said, putting a hand on my back. "Thanks. Well, the positive side is that we have each other. If only one of us were to be in varsity, that'd be hell."

Then the whistle blows and we got into our positions.

The next thing I remember was that we were all physically fighting. Coach them stopped us and I had the shortest yet most precious time to say something to Ken.

"Kenny, it'll only be for a while, I swear." I said to him right before Rick drags me along with him and the rest to the locker room.

• KEN'S POV •

"What could that mean?" I said to the team.

"Oh! Maybe that was a breakup sentence." Said Averman. "She wouldn't just say it like that." I said.

Then, everyone started to think about what Y/n meant when she said that to me.

"Oh. My. God. I know." Said Julie. "What? What is it?"

"I think Rick's not allowing her to be with you and getting a bad label in this school is terrible so she's trying to protect you from it." She said.

"That makes so much more sense. Then, I should talk to her privately."

I slipped a note in Y/n's locker. It said to meet me outside of her house at around 7 so it's dark and no one would see us just talking.

I hope she reads it.

Later,
I was waiting for Y/n, waiting around her house with a flower in my hand.

Then I heard the door open and I saw her silhouette.

"Kenny?" She said.

"Y/n?" I said, squinting my eyes to see clearer. Then, she came running to me and hugged me immediately.

I hugged her back.

"I'm so sorry." She sobbed. "I'm sorry I didn't talk to you. I couldn't. I was doing it for the sake of ourselves since that school cares so much about labels." She said as she continues to weep.

"Shh, it's okay, I'm not mad. I get it, don't worry. I was never mad. I thought you were mad at me." I said.

She kissed me, "Oh, I can't explain how much I miss you. Ugh, it feels good to even hear your voice again."

"Same here, darling. You wanna do something? Maybe catch up on some things?" I ask. "Are you asking me out on a date?" She says, smiling.

"Yes, I am. We could go walk for a bit, maybe relax somewhere for a few minutes..." I suggested. "But it's late, I don't know if my mom would let me."

"Okay, I'll figure something out. You just wait. I promise, I'll have us another nice date." I said.

"You always have the best ways to me me feel so happy, Wu." She said.

"What can I say? I'm a ladies man." I said, smirking as she hit me, playfully.

This one ain't to bad, the ending is just boring.

Still my finals exam rn and I had a cooking exam and I have no idea if I failed or not so... Yeah.
