CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Anike's POV

"I am so sorry. I did not mean to do that."

I turned to Jayden and it was obvious that I was not the only one smitten by her smile.

"It's fine."
I said and Jayden came back to his senses.

"Yeah, it is okay. Are you new here?"

Oh, a conversation is about to start.
I was right, the conversation started very well.

please I have a quick question,
is there anything that feels as worse as watching your crush flirt with someone else while you stand right beside them?

For me, I felt the worst.

The fact that she is drop dead gorgeous just made me feel even worse.

I glanced at the both of them and they looked perfect together.

Both tall, both gorgeous, hot, they looked like the true captains couple. I just hope she is not playing basket ball too or any sport at all, then that is end of matter.

"I am. I should have resumed with you guys but because of a tournament it could not work out."
The girl explained with that smile still on her face.

The wind was even supporting her because her long hair kept on getting blown making her look even more angelic.

Why don't I just walk away now?

"What sport?"
Jayden asked further,

At this point, I was just looking down at my bandage, with Jada’s voice ringing in my head.

"Basketball."

Ahhhhh!

I looked up so fast that it was a surprise my neck did not snap. I looked at Jayden and he was smiling. Smiling so bright like he just heard the best news ever.
I might be over reacting but you get my point.

He was smiling at her so lovingly, someone that looked at me with a deep frown the first day we met.

Third wheel is a thing.
This felt even worse than third wheeling
.
Imagine watching your crush fall in love at first sight beside you.

Maybe, I might be over reacting but I can literally see it all.

I removed my hand from his grasp not like he even noticed.

I left quietly when the both of them started talking more about the tournament and the team.

I walked into the class and sat beside Mariam.

She was engrossed in a novel, I checked the name of the novel

The sad fat girl

Well, If that is not me right now.
Why am I even shocked?

His sister has said it all.

I am not his type.

Foolish me taking his kindness the other way.
