The second half began with a score of 40-62. As Freen entered the court, she quickly scored, bringing her team's score closer to Nita's.

"Yesss!" Our school erupted in cheers as I scored another basket.

"Huff, huff" I panted, wiping the sweat from my face.

"You look exhausted, Freen" Tee observed.

"Just a little" I replied.

"You can switch out if you need to" Tee offered.

"No, I only need to score six more to win" I said confidently.

"P'Freen! I'll always be here cheering for you! Don't give up! You can do it!" Becky exclaimed, beaming at me.

"Haha, your girlfriend is so supportive" Tee teased, giggling.

"Tee" I called her.

"Huh?"

"Let's win this" I said with a serious tone.

As the game continued, I scored five more baskets, and our team tied with Nita's. Somehow, I found myself in a position to defend Nita from shooting. Then, she suddenly said to me, "I can't let you win this."

"I'm sorry, but I hate to lose too" I said, blocking her shot. I immediately called Tee, passing the ball to her.

"Nice one, Freen!" Tee said, running with the ball.

"Woohoo! Tee! Let's go!" Kade cheered.

"Go, go, go~" Nam cheered.

The whistle blew as Tee scored the last basket. Our school erupted in cheers as we won the game. Nita walked over to me.

"That was a great game. I'm Nita. What's your name?" Nita asked me.

"I'm Freen Sarocha Chankimha, but you can call me Freen" I replied.

"Well, nice to meet you, Freen" Nita said, extending her hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Nita" I said, shaking her hand.

"Can I ask why you wanted to win so badly?" Nita asked me.

"It's for my friends and our school" I replied.

"Hm~" Nita said, leaning in to whisper in my ear. "I did it for Nhong Bec" she said, leaning back and smiling.

"It was just a one-sided secret love, and it looks like she already has someone, so..." Nita said, shocking me.

"Hey, what's with the shocked face?? It's not a big deal it's not like I'm your love rival~But if you don't hurry I might as well..." Nita said, touching my shoulder.

"P'Freen!" Becky ran over to me with my friends.

"Well, looks like it's time. Good luck on loving her Freen" Nita said waving and walking back to her team.

"You were mesmerizing out there! Amazing!" Becky gushed, making me blush.

"T-Thank you" I said, looking away nervously.

"Freeny, you did a fantastic job!" Nam praised.

"You played the best, Freen" Tee said, touching my shoulder.

"Great job!" Kade said, handing me a water bottle.

"P'Nita!" Becky called out to Nita, running over to her.

"You did great too! Your shots and blocks were super cool!" Becky said, handing Nita a water bottle. Nita patted her head in thanks.

"Freen, don't squeeze the water bottle! It's all out!" Kade warned.

"Oh, sorry. I guess I held it too hard" I said, sheepishly.

"Aww, what a cute FreenBec moment" Nam teased.

As we chatted, a girl rushed in, clumsily dropping her phone.

"Agh, not again!" she exclaimed.

"Eh?? Irin, you're so slow!" Becky chided her.

"Ahaha...There's many people out and in but more out and um...Did I...miss something?" she said making the gym gain silence.
