Penalty Shootout - Sharky

(Alexis POV)

i was in the park with my best friend Sharky kicking a football around and doing kickups.

we have been friends for so long and we met because of our love for football even though he's an Arsenal fan and i'm a Liverpool fan.

(A/N: 🎶 LIVERPOOL LIVERPOOL 🎶)

but even though we don't like the same teams we still get along really well. But over the last couple months, i've been acting a bit off around him.

every time i see him, i feel butterflies. every time we hug, i never want to let go. every flirty moment we have together, i wish it was real.

i think he's notice that i feel a bit awkward with him, but he never mentions it. thank God because i don't think i'm ready to tell him yet.

"hey Sharks. i think that i am better at taking pens than you." i say stopping the ball with the sole of my foot.

he looked at me in disbelief. "you think you're better than me at taking pens? i think you've lost your mind."

"you wanna bet?"

"ok, what did you have in mind then?"

"we each take 10 pens, one after the other. You score, you get a point. whoever has the most points at the end wins."

"ok, but if i win, i'm gonna take you out on a date and we do whatever i want."

i was speechless. did he just ask me out?!

"um, ok. but if i win, we go on a date but we do whatever i wanna do. deal?" i say putting my arm out so he can shake it.

"deal." he says, shaking my hand and holding eye contact with me.

he knew i couldn't hold eye contact with people, so he was just doing this to get into my head.

and it was working.

his brown chocolate eyes were staring at mine before they shifted to my lips and then back up again.

i could just feel my face getting hot so i broke the eye contact and let go of his hand before i folded.

i probably already did.

"ok, so how do we decide who is going first?" he asks.

"we could do rock, paper, scissors."

he agreed and we did it. he throw rock, i throw paper, so Sharky went first.

"also Sharky, do not, and i mean do not, kick the ball right at my face. if you do, i will attack you." i say as i ran to the goalpost.

he just laughs and says "don't worry, i won't" with a smirk on his face, but i knew he was bluffing. hopefully.

he placed the ball onto the penalty spot and i step back a bit. i was trying to taunt and distract him but nothing was working.

he ran up and kicked the ball right into the top corner of the net. he used the jude bellingham celebration while i went to collect the ball.

"ok, mr show off, but you're not the only one who can make shots like that!" i shouted.

"oh, yeah. like you could do better." he says with sarcasm clear in his voice.

"ok, watch me." i say as i put the ball on the penalty spot.

just to prove i was better than him, i was going to use my left foot even though i'm right footed.

i took a few steps back and used my left foot and smashed the ball into the left hand corner.
