Third person pov.

Yells! If anyone stepped in here that would be the only thing on their minds for the next few minutes. Among all the voices, coach's was the most recognisable as he yelled a name, letting one of the players enter the game. Alice stood up when she saw that Gabe was finally playing. She started shouting his name, making a few girls from the front row to turn around and look at her…but she just kept yelling and clapping

In the same situation was the other two as well, Geo and Arthur, who were trying to cheer up their boyfriends with their cheers, while Lisa and Jamie were sitting quietly next to them, whispering and discussing about the boys of the other team

“YES” Alice suddenly yelled with all her voice, making the other girl of their group turn around and look at her. She was standing with her arms raised and her face red. The same word was constantly repeated through her teeth and when Lisa looked over the team, she saw Gabe Madden hitting his chest proudly, sticking his eyes to where most of his friends were sitting

“He scored a three-pointer” Arthur informed her calmly, after a few seconds, but still the urge to scream along with Alice, was drawn all over his face. Their team was good enough to beat the opposition, so who wouldn't be on the edge of their seat, screaming?

With a nod, Arthur's sister turned again to her beloved friend, getting back to their previous conversation, while at the same time they were watching the game. They didn't even know how they got to the last ten important minutes. All the eyes were glued to the ball, following every movement. A guy from the other team with black long curly hair, gathered in a bun, tried to steal it and succeeded, only for Jack to get in front of him and prevent him from going a little far. The ball was quickly transferred to another, briefly confusing Jack so that he couldn't steal it. The opponent tried to score, but he failed, giving the opportunity to Nick, the youngest in the team and one of Jack's friends and best players, to steal the ball. Anyone could recognise him from his faded blond hair, as he passed through the opponents and gave the ball to Bruce. From there the game belonged to the twins, as the last one, passed it to Gabe, leaving him to deal successfully with this. He ran with all the power he got and scored again, creating chaos around him…students standing up with his name spilling from their mouth. And as always, Alice was the loudest one, yelling at the top of her lungs

The team gathered around him as a sound signaled the end of the game. Each player greeted or congratulated each other until the gym was empty and bunches of kids were spilling out, going to attend parties, celebrating the big win. Arthur and Alice were the first to get outside…it was dark but luckily the nearby lamps had enough light that they could at least recognize each other's faces. Also the air was less chilly than the time they had arrived, replacing few of the warm clothes useless

Geo and the other two, spilled inside of the crowd, finding themselves next to some third grade girls who were already discussing a big party at Ares' house, who of course was the one throwing the biggest ones. They quickly got out of the way and sat beside their two friends, discussing in quiet voices and waiting for the guys, hoping it wouldn't take too much time to leave the locker rooms

“BOO” A few students turned around as they heard the loud scream, ready to defend any psycho killer but shrug their shoulders when they were greeted by a few laughs

“Oh god” Arthur cursed as they all together turned around, staring back at their new company. The twins and Jack had secretly come from the door behind, smiling as their plan had succeeded. Their hair was still slightly damp and in Arthur's mind the brain cells were searching for an answer as to how they could dry it in a few minutes

“Don't do that ever again” Geo said, still clutching his hands around the spot of his heart. He seemed a little tense but Bruce immediately ran towards him and hugged him tightly, giving him a smile and the warmth of his thick clothes. After a few minutes, all of them finally moved to the background where some pavilions were installed, the tall and dense trees hiding them from the gaze of every human being
