ABHAY'S POV
" So , first of all there will be a match between Nandini and Vivek's team!..Abhay and Shraddha take your teams and seat there .." Sir ordered and we nodded.
" About turn guys !...our match will be after this.." I said while looking at the four players of my team. They nodded and turned back to go and sit at the edge of the basketball court.
" All the best Abhay !... Because we are going to win today!" Shraddha said with a smirk.
" You need more luck than me Shraddha ji!..Ab jaiye , apni team sambhaliye !.." I replied with a smirk.
" Abhay , I think you need to control your team just take a look ....How Anshika is treating Vedika, and Samarth and Mahesh are not even stopping her!.." Shraddha said . I turned my head to see Anshika pushing away Vedika harshly for some reason. Vedika fell down hard on the ground and her knee started bleeding and for some reason I felt pain in my knee and a tear slipped from my eye unknowingly.
I immediately wiped it away before Shraddha could see it.
" Well Shraddha, that Vedika deserves to be treated like that !.." I said in distaste. Shraddha looked at me her eyebrows raised in confusion.
" Why are talking like this ?...You were the only one who desperately want to befriend Vedika, then why suddenly so much hate for her ?" She asked in confliction.
" Oh please!.. I will never befriend some third class person!.." I said in fake bitter tone . I literally wanted to cut my own tongue.
Before Shraddha could ask further questions ,I scurried away from there and went towards my team.
" What's happening here ?" I asked firmly while looking between Anshika and Vedika. Vedika was sitting on ground , clutching her knee to stop the blood flow.
" Yaar Abhay !...Why did you take this loser in our team ?..
She literally don't know what we are going to play !.." Anshika exclaimed in disbelief.I looked down at Vedika .
" Vedika !...Do you know how to play basketball?" I asked with a bit soft tone. She fearfully looked up and it was clear that she was stifling her tears. That innocence and pain in those blue eyes !.....I can't see !...
I averted my gaze a bit from her. I am sorry Vedika, but whatever I am doing is for your own safety as well as my mother's safety.
" N-No , I-I d-dont k-know h-how t-to p-play .." She replied, while trying to get up slowly but she fell down again because of the injury in her leg.
I want to help her!!!!!.....But I can't!!.." Abhay !..I will take her to rest room...she can't play-" Samarth said while making while way towards Vedika to help her. But before he could touch Vedika I cut him off.
" Help her and you will be out of the team !!.." I spat . Everyone looked at me in shock at my sudden anger.
" What ?...But she is injured-" Samarth started.
" Shut up dude !....She have to play or else we will lose without playing only because we can't play with four players!!!" I explained and everyone silent.
I turned my gaze to Vedika , who was looking down at Vedika.
" And you !!...Get up !!!" I ordered while grabbing Vedika's hand harshly and pulling her up. She stumbled a bit causing her to fall back , though I didn't wanted , but because of reflex I grabbed her hand gently before she could fall.
I looked around to see Samarth and Mahesh has shocked look. Anshika , for some reason has jealous look. And Vedika was literally shivering.
My mother always taught me to help the people who are weaker than me in anything, but here I am troubling Vedika , taking advantage of her weakness!..
" Stop shivering yaar !!..." I spat and pulled her to make her stand properly. I placed my hands on her shoulder and squeezed them hard making her wince in pain . She looked at me with teary eyes. Her eyes are so expressive that I could clearly understand her saying , ' Please stop hurting me !'
" Anyways, you don't know how to play basketball, right ?" I asked in soft tone so that she replies to my question without getting scared from me.
She nodded fearfully." Okay, I will explain to you..." And I started explaining. I could feel Anshika, Samarth and Mahesh looking at me weirdly because one moment I am showing immense hate towards Vedika and next moment I am explaining her how to play game.
Actually, the match between Nandini and Vivek's is already going on and sir has given one ball each to my and Shraddha's team to do dribbling practice.
" So , what is your strength?..." I asked Vedika once my lecture on ' How to play basketball?' was done. Again I could read her eyes telling , ' Do you even think I have any strength?'
But still she started thinking about her strength and I just kept staring at her . Actually, I have gotten a bit taller than her in past 6 months .
I was feeling horrible when I saw enormous amount of scars on her face and hands .
" H-Hey !...A-Are y-you h-hearing ?" I was snapped out from staring at her face , by her waving infront of my face.
" Oh yes !..I was just zoned out !" I lied. I don't want to admit that I feel a weird connection with her.
" I-I W-Was s-saying, m-my s-strength i-is r-running." She said . Running ?...She is an athlete!... Interesting!
" Your running is good....but your dribbling should be good then only you will be of some use ....
No , Wait !!...Even if you don't how to shoot baskets if dribbling, still you can be of great help , if you could catch and throw the ball. But I have a doubt that you will be able to handle the ball because you are too thin.." I said while looking at her up and down." You don't know bro * I felt like she just gave me a gaali by calling me bro* , why am I so thin ...so it will be good if you keep your opinion about my body and looks to you only.." Shd said coldly without even stuttering. She literally amaze me sometimes.
" Okay, okay!...And I am not your 'bro' !!!" I spat in annoyance. I don't even know why I was feeling so irritated.
She flinched at my sudden outburst but nodded slowly and fearfully.
" Okay , just to test your skills...let's do passing practice. " I said and she nodded.
I pray to God that she do extremely well!..
