"Let's go, baby!"

Cora yelled from my left as she waved the black and silver banner with Lucas' name on it as we watched the match.

It was a home game, unfortunately, meaning that it was compulsory for everyone to attend, they'd even canceled classes for this shit. It was us versus Brighten Hall, our rival school in all things academic, arts, and sports. The red and gold of their uniforms clashed with the black and silver of our team.

In all honesty, I know nothing of this sportaside from the fact that making it to the other end of the field with theostrich egg-shaped ball meant, a bunch of points. 

So I was currently sittingamongst my fellow students drowning outtheir yells and screams trying not to fall asleep in my seat. I could sleepanywhere if bored enough.

Luckily the halftime show began before I could fall deeper into my subconscious as Cora jumped up from her seat and rushed off the change into her cheer uniform.

Brighten was performing first and my eyes were immediately drawn to the head cheerleader Aika Takahashi. 

The costume consisted of a long-sleeved cropped turtle neck top and shorts that reached her mid-thigh. It was all skin thigh and red with gold embellishments. The rest of her team wore short red skirts including the guys. She always did want to stand out.

We had a history. We'd met at a state chess championships and we had ended up in a draw and then her hotel room. We had met up a couple of times after. 

Her team performed to Dojo Cats "Juicy" and our eyes constantly met throughout the performance.

Soon it was Cora's team's turn to perform and just as they were starting I felt a tug at my right as I was seating right at the edge of the bleachers. And I turned to see Boqin Huang the captain of the Brighten Hornets, all decked out in his rugby gear scrum cap and all. 

"We are totally smoking your team bunny" Boqin grins up at me basically drenched in sweat. Thanks to how I was seating at a higher level I had the rare opportunity to look down at him.

I reached over and unbuckled his scrum cap and pulled it off his head, leaving his black silky and sweaty hair sticking up in different places. I run my hand through it and he leans into it with a big smile on his handsome face.

"Is that right puppy, because from the scoreboard, we are just five points behind?" 

"Well just wait, hey I heard you've gotten really into bets, want to make one with me?"

He sends me a sly smile.

"What do you want?"

"Well, if we win I want your August, the whole month"

"And for when you lose"

He sends me a sarcastic smile and reaches up to slowly hold the back of my neck. He then leans forward onto his tiptoes to reach my lips.

The kiss is slow and meticulous and just when the idea of jumping down into Boqin's arms comes to mind our lips are suddenly detached. I open my eyes to see the angry face of a middle-aged man. From his clothes, I am guessing that he is Bo's coach.

He turns Boqin around and places a firm hand on his shoulder.

"Fraternizing with the enemy, really Huang, what would your teammates think? Is this why you fumbled the ball in the last quarter?"
