As they make their way to the basketball game, Asher turns to Eve with a smile.

"Hey, Eve. Brixton left me thirty  bucks to buy us some snacks for the game. What do you feel like having?" he asks, looking at her expectantly.

Eve feels a little surprised, but also grateful. "Oh, that's really nice of him. I don't know, what do you suggest?" she asks, feeling a little hungry now.

Asher thinks for a moment, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Well, they have really good hot dogs here. And the nachos are pretty good too. Or we could get some popcorn," he says, sounding a little excited now.

Eve thinks for a moment, considering her options. "Hmm, I think I'll go for the hot dog and some popcorn. What about you?" she asks, feeling a little curious.

Asher nods, looking pleased. "Sounds good to me. And maybe we can get some soda too," he says, before leading the way to the concession stand.

꧁༒☬......................................☬༒꧂
When they arrived at the match, Asher led Eve to the VIP section, and Eve couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Most of the people sitting there were close friends of Brixton's, and none of them were girls.

Eve looked around the VIP section, taking in the sights and sounds of the game. The atmosphere was electric, with fans cheering and shouting as the players ran up and down the court. She could feel the excitement building inside her, and she couldn't wait to see what would happen next.

As they settled into their seats, Eve couldn't help but feel a little out of place. She was the only girl in the VIP section, and she didn't know anyone there except for Asher. But Asher seemed to be enjoying himself, and he kept pointing out different players and telling her about their stats and skills.

During the time break, Brixton's gaze suddenly fell on Eve, and he grinned at her. Eve couldn't help but feel a little confused and uncomfortable. She turned to Asher and asked him what it meant, but he just chuckled and shook his head.

"Don't worry about it, Eve. Brixton's just being Brixton," he said, still chuckling.

Eve wasn't sure what to make of Asher's response. She had a feeling that there was more to Brixton's grin than just friendly banter, but she didn't want to push the issue.

Eventually, the game ended, and Asher turned to lead Eve out of the VIP section. But just as they were about to leave, Brixton called out to Asher.

"Asher! Hold up a sec, man. I need to talk to you," Brixton said, waving him over.

Asher turned to Eve and gave her an apologetic look. "Sorry, Eve. Looks like I need to talk to Brixton for a minute. Why don't you wait here, and I'll be back in a sec?" he said, before walking over to Brixton.

Eve watched as Asher and Brixton talked for a few minutes, wondering what was going on. She felt a little uneasy being left alone in the VIP section, but she tried to stay calm and wait for Asher to come back.

After a few minutes, Asher returned, but he wasn't alone. Brixton was with him, and he had a strange look on his face. "Hey, Eve. Brixton wanted to talk to you for a minute," Asher said, gesturing towards Brixton.

Eve felt a sense of unease wash over her as she looked at Brixton. She wasn't sure what he wanted to talk to her about, and she didn't like the way he was looking at her.

"Um, okay. What did you want to talk to me about?" she asked, trying to sound calm.

Brixton just grinned at her, his eyes glinting. "Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to say hello to the lovely lady that Asher's been raving about," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Eve felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment. She didn't like the way Brixton was talking to her, and she didn't know how to respond.

Asher stepped in, sensing Eve's discomfort. "Okay, Brixton. I think that's enough. We should probably get going," he said, putting a hand on Eve's shoulder.

Brixton just laughed. "Sure thing, man. See you later, Eve," he said, before turning and walking away.

As they walked towards their class, Eve turned to Asher and asked him a question.

"Asher, have we ever met before? And why did Brixton say something about the girl you were talking to?" she asked, looking a little confused.

Asher shook his head. "No, we haven't met before today. And I'm not sure what Brixton was talking about. He likes to mess with people and say weird things. I wouldn't pay too much attention to him," he said, trying to reassure her.

Eve nodded, still feeling a little confused and uneasy. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about Brixton, and she didn't like the way he had talked about her.

As they walked into class, Eve tried to put the incident out of her mind and focus on the lecture.

During class, Caden leaned over to Eve and whispered in her ear, "Hey,  Is everything okay?"

Eve turned to Caden, a little surprised by his question. "Oh, sorry. I'm just a little distracted, I guess. That basketball game earlier was really intense," she said, referring to the game they had watched earlier.

Caden nodded, understandingly. "Yeah, it was pretty crazy. Did you see that last shot? Insane," he said, grinning.

Eve smiled, feeling a little better.

The lesson went on until the school bell rang, and Eve gathered her things and walked out of the classroom with Caden. As they made their way towards the school exit, suddenly a motorbike stopped in front of them, and someone took off their helmet. It was....Brixton.

Eve's heart sank as she saw him. She had hoped she wouldn't have to deal with him again, but here he was, blocking their path.

"Hey there, Eve. Fancy seeing you here," he said, smirking.

Eve tried to keep her cool, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in her stomach. "What do you want, Brixton?" she asked, trying to sound confident.

Brixton shrugged. "Just wanted to say hi. And maybe ask if you wanted to grab a drink later?" he said, his eyes lingering on her a little too long.

Eve shook her head, feeling a little sick. "No thanks. I have plans already," she said, trying to move past him.

Brixton stepped in front of her, blocking her path again. "Come on, Eve. Don't be like that. I just want to hang out," he said, his tone turning more aggressive.

Caden stepped forward, trying to defuse the situation. "Hey man, why don't you back off? Eve said she's not interested," he said, trying to reason with Brixton.

Brixton turned to Caden, his eyes flashing with anger. "Stay out of this, kid. This doesn't concern you," he said, his hand flexing into a fist.

Eve felt her heart racing as the tension between the two boys escalated. She didn't know what to do, but she knew she needed to get out of there before things got worse. She took a step back, trying to slip past Brixton and make a run for it.

As Eve tried to slip past Brixton and make a run for it, he suddenly grabbed her bag, pulling her back towards him. Eve tried to pull her bag back, but Brixton held on tight.

Brixton looked down at her, his eyes cold and menacing. "You're not going anywhere, Eve," he whispered, his grip on her bag tightening. "You think you can just ignore me and walk away? I don't think so. You're mine, and you're going to do what I say."

Eve felt a shiver run down her spine as she heard his words. She knew she was in trouble, and she didn't know how to get out of this situation. She looked over at Caden, hoping he would help her, but he seemed frozen, unsure of what to do.

Brixton leaned in closer to her, his breath hot on her face. "I'll be seeing you soon, Eve. Don't forget who's in charge here," he said, before finally releasing her bag and walking away, his motorcycle roaring to life as he drove off.
