"Take a seat Michael", she sighed and took out a pen. She started talking but all I could focus on was him. I wanted to squeeze all the air out of his lungs and make him beg for mercy. I think he could feel my eyes on him because he turned to me and gave me a puzzled look like he didn't know who the hell I was.

 "It's the girl you were watching from your terrace, you creep!", I screamed, but only in my head. As if he heard my thoughts, his confusion soon disappeared and he smirked before turning away and looking at coach. Ugh, the nerve of this boy. 

 "Alright, everyone. Two teams, Michael and Flynn, you're the captains." As soon as she said that, Michael and another guy stood and stayed at either side of her. They both started to point, and students started leaving the bleachers and standing behind whoever chose them. 

 "Hey, new girl, Come on," Flynn said, gesturing for me to come over. I nodded and joined the rest of the team. Moments later, both teams were full. 

 "Okay, everyone on Flynn's team gets a red scrimmage vest, and everyone on Michael's team gets the black ones. Remember everyone, this is a friendly match. There will be no roughhousing. You've got 10 minutes with your team to discuss this," the Coach said as she walked back to the bleachers.

We all picked ours and moved to opposite sides of the field by the posts. We all sat on the grass except Flynn as he started talking. He looked good, like really good. I wonder what he uses for his curls, mine don't bounce around like that, and his skin is so flawless,  oh and his lips-

"Earth to new girl? Hello?", He said, looking at me, confused. Everyone was staring and I felt the heat rise up to my cheeks

"Uhm, s-sorry what?"

"What's your name?", He said, trying to hide a smile, he was failing miserably. Oh gosh, this is embarrassing

"Ca- Chloe, my name's Chloe"

"Nice to meet you Chloe, now, Ryan and Chloe you two are going to be the subs, since you two are new, why not watch and see how we do it here at Winston High"

A guy sitting two people down the row and I nodded.

"Great, any additions? We've still got 5 minutes before the match starts." A guy raised his hand, and Flynn nodded, taking a seat on the ground as the guy got up.

I tried to pay attention to what he was saying but I couldn't help but avert my eyes to Flynn. I turned to look at him again when I caught his eyes already on me. He smiled and I quickly looked away. My cheeks were burning up. 

"No boys", my mother's voice echoed in my head as I attempted to calm down. He just smiled at me, why am I acting like this? He smiles at everyone, Uggh.

 The final whistle blew and we had lost, 3 to 2. They cheered, crowding around Michael, as he scored the last goal, I rolled my eyes so hard I thought they'd come out of my skull.  As I wiped the sweat off my brow, my eyes darted to Flynn. He was laughing with some teammates, his face lighting up whenever he grinned. My chest tightened and I quickly looked away. Its just the heat, I told myself as I averted my gaze to Michael. 'Flynn is just a boy, a terribly handsome one'

I turned again to steal a glance at him to see that he's already coming over.

 "Hey, you ok?", he said, stopping just a few feet away from me me and giving me a concerned look. 

I nodded and tried to avoid his eyes as much as possible.

"You did great by the way", he said, turning his eyes to the field
