Kyle has a soccer match today.

Ava, Maudie and I, are at the field to cheer for him and his team.

Pixie is with us as well, because the soccer captain is her boyfriend.

Ava: Go South Melbourne High School!

Pixie: You can do it Jacob!

Maudie: Go team.

While Ava was screaming her lungs out, Kyle scored a goal.

Ava: Goooaaalll! GREAT JOB KYLE!

Me: Ava, you should calm down. You're way too loud.

Maudie: Let her have her fun, Ezra. We're here to support Kyle after all.

Me: Yeah, I guess you're rig...

Ava: GO! TEAM!

Maudie and I laughed.

Me: Do you want to go get something to drink?

I stood up and held out my hand.

Maudie: Sure.

She took my hand and pulled it to stand up.

I let go after, but was internally celebrating.

It's been a couple weeks since I discovered my feelings for Maudie.

It used to be pretty awkward, but now I'm getting used to it.

After the soccer match ended

Kyle: We won! Whoo-hooo!

Ava: Great job, Kyle. I feel bad for the other team, but I'm really really glad our school won.

Maudie: Good job, Kyle. You're team is making it to the finals.

Kyle: Yup. That means we have to practice a whole lot more.

Ava: Oh, I just remembered something, here.

Ava handed Kyle a victory cupcake, you can tell from the large word on it, WINNER.

Kyle: Thanks Ava I'm starving.

All of a sudden I hear a scream.

It was Pixie.

Pixie: You guys, I lost my gift bracelet. I was going to give it to Jacob today.

Ava: Oh, no. We'll help you find it Pixie. Don't worry.

Maudie: Yeah, of course.

Kyle: I think I'm just going to sit down for a bit. You can go look for Pixie's bracelet.

Me: I'll also stay here.

Maudie: Okay, then. Bye.

The three girls went away to find the bracelet.

Kyle was taking off his shin guards.

Me: Kyle, have you ever liked someone?

Kyle: Yeah, sure. I like lots of people, Maudie, Ava, you, Toby, Jacob, Evan...

Me: That's not what I meant. I meant romantically like someone.

Kyle: Gross. Why are you asking me that? Do you like someone?

Me: Maybe.

Kyle: You should talk to Ava about those things instead of me. It's disgusting. AV...

I cover his mouth before he could finish.

Me: Kyle, stop. I like someone okay. Get over it. It's not that weird or gross. And besides of you tell Ava, everybody will know.

Kyle: Ava's not like that. She would never tell anyone's secret.

Me: Yes. I know that, but the person I don't want finding out will know.

Kyle: Is it Ava? Do you like Ava?! Gross! Why would you like her?

Kyle seemed weirdly agitated compared to before.

Me: It's not Ava.

Kyle seemed to relax a bit after my reply.

Me: I wanted to tell someone, but you're my closest guy friend. Just make sure not to tell anyone. Please.

Kyle: Sure thing Ezra. I won't tell anyone.

The next day

Ava: Hi Ezra. Kyle told me you have acrush on someone.

KYLE!!!
