It was a hot summer day , I was in the library indulged into studies and lost track of the time. I saw my watch and I realised that I'm going to be late to catch the bus. I hurried and packed my things and ran through the door.

Ahh.. another tiring day. (I sighed)

But then from somewhere I heard my name being called, I looked around to see and found Yoon-ah. She waved towards me, not without caring how much I avoided her, she kept following me around.

When I saw her and how I shrugged as I had no energy left to deal with her today then I stepped back hurriedly and decided to use the back door to leave.

Leading towards the backyard of the school and found some students playing basketball and a few other students mostly girls were cheering for them. They must be playing for hours now they were all covered in sweat and unknowingly I stopped to watch them playing.

I never really saw them playing before but heard about them a lot. They were indeed good. Especially him no wonder people call him the ace player of the team. he was...well?? different from all others, his pace was so on point and his technique was sharp. He was somewhat handsome, not perhaps in the conventional sense, but he had that appearance which could make him stand out in the crowd, I zoned out for a few minutes to see them playing.

A bright smile faltered on my face.

"What the fuck, what I even thinking right now? !! Shit..I'm late." (I shook my head and whispered to myself) I came back to my senses.

I turned back and as I was walking out from there I got hit by the ball. I turned back and held the ball from the ground.

In the middle of the game now all eyes were on me, to be honest that made me a little conscious, me being the centre of attraction never was my thing.

I stood still there for a few seconds, gulped in hesitation. When I was about to throw the ball, he approached me the so-called ace player of the team. He started to walk towards me boldly. His walk, his demeanour was so cold he stood in front of me in fact a little close. Which let my nervousness spike up. I felt uncomfortable by the closeness between us, my heart was pounding fast.

But there is no way I let him see me how nervous I was. Not long after that when he just gave me an intro of his arrogance looking straight into my eyes.

"Hey topper we don't have all day here, so will you pass on the ball please. Or are you going to study this too." (He muttered arrogantly and smirked) Which caused everyone to laugh at me sarcastically.

I didn't care about others but I didn't like that smirk which slid like a knife into my heart I frowned at him. But in the next moment he scoffed then raised his hand to snatch the ball from me.

I was maybe a little nervous but I wasn't a loser. How dare he?? Before he could snatch the ball from me, I quickly shifted the ball to my other hand and started to dribble the ball a few steps towards the basketball court and I threw a clean shot straight into the basket.

Leaving everyone dumbfounded along with the one who challenged me. My intention was never to show off my skills but how dare he teased me.

"Suit yourself everyone". (I exclaimed myself proudly gestures towards the other players with my both hands while avoiding eye contact with him).

But for some god damn reason he looked so calm. He stood there and watched me playing, a sly grin was curved on his face. But why??? I really wondered why??

I set aside every single thought, all I wanted to get on the bus on time yet I'm on the basketball court challenging the star of the basketball team. (I sighed)
