Chapter 6

"Popping! There you are!" You called out to Popping Candy as you arrived in the school commons and headed towards him. "I'm so sorry I'm late!"

"Oh hi Y/n! Don't worry, it's fine. Drama class got out late again?" Popping Candy replied to you as you both started heading out of the main building of the school.

"Yeah, we've been practicing a lot for the school musical since we only have two months now to practice, but thanks for waiting for me!"

"No problem! And don't forget we also have the nationals in a few weeks. You sure you're gonna be ok? There's a lot going on."

"I'll be fine Popping, after the musical we won't have any big events like that for a while. Plus break's gonna be coming up soon, I'll be fine."

"If you say so Y/n..."

You and Popping Candy started heading out to the school gates, once again passing the school's practice fields. Almost instinctively, you looked over to see if the boys soccer team was practicing. Sure enough, they were. It was right at the end of their practice, but it almost didn't matter to you since the one player you always watch was still there.

Choco Ball was sitting at the bench in the far side of the field, wiping the sweat from his forehead and laughing with the other members of the team. His smile was so bright, even from a distance. It made your heart start to pound in your chest, and even more so when he looked over at you with curiosity.

Wait a damn minute WHAT?! Why was he looking at you? Was it even you that he was looking at? You turned your head around to see if something was behind you, but there was nothing there. Was he seriously looking at you?

You looked back to where Choco Ball was, and it seemed to be that some other members of the team pointed you out to him. You felt your face turn red with embarrassment, he probably thought you were some creepy fangirl or something. You quickly started to run to the front gates, trying not to look in Choco Ball's direction.

(Great job Y/n.) You thought to yourself. (You made yourself look like an idiot and a creep. Now you've ruined any chance you had of becoming friends with him. Well done you fricken moron.)

"Wait!" You heard a voice call out to you, pulling you out of your thoughts and making you stop in your tracks. You turned around, and your heart nearly stopped once you saw Choco Ball standing there. He was breathing a bit heavy since he practically just finished practice and quickly sprinted over to you, but you almost didn't notice this. You were too busy admiring just how fast he was.

"Hey, Y/n was it?" Choco Ball asked you.

"Y-yeah..." You replied shyly.

(Holy hell Y/n whatever you do DON'T embarrass yourself in front of him.) One part of you said in your head.

(But he's so damn hot! Maybe he won't mind a small hug-) Another part of you said.

(And maybe he fricken hates hugs! Just play it cool, you totally don't have a crush on him or have inner conflicts whenever he acknowledges your existence.)

(But goddamn, if he doesn't want to make you fall head over heels with him he shouldn't be so damn fine.)

(GIRL JUST FRICKEN IGNORE US AND FOCUS ON HIM-)

"Huh, I didn't realize you were my secret admirer. You were amazing at the dance competition, you guys totally deserved to win."

"Th-thank you! And I hope I w-wasn't bothering you by watching you practice..."

"It's no problem, I'm not bothered by fans watching me practice. Besides, I've been wanting to give you these."

Choco Ball reached into his pocket and took out two tickets. He held them out to you, wanting you to take them.

"Here, they're two tickets to our game this weekend. Think of it as a thank you gift for inviting me to the dance competition."

"W-wow. Are you s-sure you want to give them to me?"

"Of course! I never really got a chance to thank you personally and I wanted to repay you in some way. I really hope you can make it Y/n."

"I-I can check my sch-schedule, but I think I c-can make it! Good luck with the match!"

"Thanks. I have to go now, but good luck with the nationals in a few weeks. I know you guys will knock it out of the park."

Choco Ball gave you one final nod of acknowledgement before heading back to the rest of his team. As he ran back, you felt yourself get frozen in place, not able to move anything but your head which alternated between looking at Choco Ball and the tickets he gave you. Was this real life? Are you sure you aren't dreaming? Seriously, this all felt like something your friend Cotton Candy would write! Choco Ball, your ultimate crush, had just given you some tickets to his next game AND complimented you on your show? No way this could be reality, could it?

"Y/n! There you are!" Popping Candy said, pulling you back into reality.

"Oh! S-sorry Popping, I didn't mean to keep you waiting."

"It's no problem! Besides, I saw you talking with Choco Ball. What did he end up giving you by the way?"

"J-just two tickets to his game this weekend..."

"Whoa, he really have you tickets? That's amazing Y/n! I told you you didn't have to be so nervous. He definitely wants to be friends with you now at least!"

"Oh man. Choco Ball? Wanting to be friends? With me? Popping please tell me this isn't a dream, it all feels so surreal."

"Trust me, you are 100% awake, now come on! There's a new bubble tea place I want to check out, I think you'll like it!"

"Coming! Wait up!"
