CHAPTER Seven

**Back to Aranya's POV**

I walk out of class with my books in my hands. I open my locker to put some of them in it and get extra ones too

"Hey" I hear someone say behind me

I turn to see Austen "Oh hey I thought you're going for practice"

He scratches the back of his neck looking at me "Yes I am, I came to drop something and met you here"

"Oh" I nod my head in understanding

"So I want you to attend the game after school today to cheer me on" he asks looking at me sheepishly

"The football game? I'm not a fan of football so I wouldn't know when to cheer" I tell him truthfully, I honestly know nothing about football so I might disappoint him

"Your presence is enough to cheer me, you don't have to do anything"

"Oh" I mumble feeling weird at his cheeky words. He's my new found friend so it won't hurt to attend this game besides he just said I don't need to do anything also mom's gonna be back late today "Okay after school right?"

"Yh" he says bringing out his hands and I'm just realising his hands has been behind his back "Here it's my teams jessy and a shorts to go with it"

I take it from him, he sure has this planned out. I let out a faint smile "Thank you"

"After school then"

" Sure" I say locking my locker then he walks away

I touch the Jessi feeling the texture of the material. I put it in my bag heading to my next class.

Next few hours school work for the day came to an end. I changed in the school's restroom into the Jessi Austen gave to to me. I let my curly hair fall down my shoulders, I sigh football isn't my type of fun.

I walk into the school's stadium, I settle on a roll with nobody on it the other rolls are filled up, filled with crazy fans cheering.

I search the players and found Austen, his eyes manages to meet mine then he gives me an appreciative smile. I nod my head at him

"Football is not something you enjoy" I hear somebody say beside me

I turn to see Mason sitting beside me. "What are you doing here, you also don't fancy football"

"Well I saw a certain someone sitting by herself"

I'm surprised Mason remembers things about me, he shouldn't cause it's of no use "My lover is playing so I have to be here" I send him a sly smile

"Lover" he laughs with no humor in it

"Yes lover, I have to be here for him, you should be with Leslie too" I tell him.

"You're also putting on his teams Jessi, you seem pretty devoted" he remark avoiding the Leslie part of my statement

"Oh I sure am"

Soon Austen scores a goal, as much as I don't like this idea I stand up with other fan screaming Austen's name just for Mason's reaction

I drop my hands about to sit but Mason grips it pulling me with him out of the stadium. I yank my hands free from his hold when we got out of the school's gate

"What's your problem" I hiss robbing the spot he held me

"You shouldn't be there Aranya" he protests

Part of me is grateful for him dragging me out of there but the other part is stubborn "What makes you think you know where I want to be" I snap putting my hands in akimbo
