After Luke and Harry's performance, the entire school went back to the auditorium to finish the game. "And West High pushin' the ball. Fast break. Looking for an open man. Oh, but it's stolen by number 14, Luke Hemmings, heading back the other way! West High has the ball! Time is running down on the clock! Looking for an open man. Fake. Swing to the outside. Ball on the perimeter. Look for a man on the inside. Nice screen. Shot's up!" Everything slowed downed for everyone. People on their feet staring at the ball, hoping it will go in. "And it's good! A 12-foot jump shot as time expires for the victory! East High has won the championship! Your East High Wildcats are champions! Congratulations East High!"

"Luke! Luke! Luke! Wildcats! Wildcats! Wildcats!" The crowd cheered. Mr. Hemmings receives the championship trophy from a referee.

"Congratulations." said the referee.

"Thanks." Mr. Hemmings brings the trophy over to the Wildcats and hands the trophy to Luke. The rest of the Wildcats lift Luke on their shoulders.

"What team?" Michael started the chant.

"Wildcats!" said everyone from East High.

"What team?"

"Wildcats!"

"What team?"

"Wildcats!"

"Wildcats!"

"Get'cha head in the game!"

Mr. Hemmings hugs Luke when Luke was put back to the ground. "I'm proud of you, son!" He said.

"Aw, thanks, dad!" Mr. Higgins comes from behind both of them.

"Um, bravo!" He said.

"Brava!" Mr. Hemmings corrected.

"Ah!" Mr. Higgins said, amazed and walked away.

"Hey, hey! Luke, you're the man!" A team mate said to Luke.

"No, you!" said Luke not even noticing Harry running up to him and hugs him from behind.

"Congratulations, Wildcat!" Harry said happily.

"What about your team?!" Luke asked eagerly.

"We won too!" Harry responded. Luke moves in to kiss Harry, but Michael ruins it.

"Yo! Team voted you the game ball, Captain!"

Luke is slightly miffed about being his chance to kiss Harry. "Yeah, thank you. Thanks a lot." He walks off. Ariana runs towards Michael and he takes her into his arms.

"So, you're going with me to the after party, right?" Michael asked Ariana.

"Like on a date?" Ariana asked happily and surprised.

"Must be your lucky day." Michael smirked.

Ariana goes over to Harry in shock. "Michael Clifford just asked me out." They share a happy laugh. As soon as Ariana walks away, Perrie comes over to Harry.

"Well, congratulations. I guess I'm going to be the understudy in case you can't make one of the shoes, so...break a leg." Harry doesn't understand. Perrie laughs at him. "In theater, that means good luck." They too share a laugh. As Perrie moves on, she is confronted by none other than Zayn.

"Hey, Perrie. I'm sorry you didn't get the lead, but I think you're really good. I admire you so much."

"And why wouldn't you? Now, bye-bye."

"Oh, wait. I baked you some cookies." He was about to hand them to Perrie, but she refused.

"Ew."

Niall takes the cookies while smiling. "Good game."

"Thanks."

Luke comes up behind Calum and hands him the ball. "Composer, here's your game ball. You deserve it, playmaker." Luke said to Calum and the crowd cheered. Calum didn't quite know what to do with the ball but Liam came up behind him and removes his hat, letting his hair down. He guides his hands and together, they shoot the ball.

Score! Now the entire school is dancing and singing.

All:

Remember the words you told me
"Love me till the day I die"?
Surrender my everything
'Cause you made me believe you're mine
Yeah, you used to call me "baby"
Now, you're callin' me by name (Mm)
Takes one to know one, yeah
You beat me at my own damn game

Luke:

You push and you push and I'm pullin' away
Pullin' away from ya
I give and I give and I give and you take
Give and you take

Harry:

Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me outta your life
And I'm just a dead man walkin' tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it all of the time, yeah (Ooh)

He sang and spun into Luke's arms and looking up into his eyes.

All:

Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me back in your life
So I'm just a dead man crawlin' tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it all of the time, yeah (Ooh)

Niall:

Lately, our conversations
End like it's the last goodbye
Then one of us gets too drunk
And calls about a hundred times

Perrie:

So who you been callin' "baby"?
Nobody could take my place
When you're lookin' at those strangers
Hope to God you see my face (Ooh)

All:

Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me outta your life
And I'm just a dead man walkin' tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it all of the time, yeah (Ooh)
Youngblood

Dance break

Luke:

You push and you push and I'm pullin' away
Pullin' away from ya
I give and I give and I give and you take

You're runnin' around and I'm runnin' away
Runnin' away from ya, mm, from ya

All:

Youngblood
Say you want me, say you want me outta your life
And I'm just a dead man walkin' tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it all of the time, yeah (Ooh)

Everyone was cheering, dancing and shouting excitedly because of the win. Now that everyone is too busy to not notice Luke and Harry running off out of the gym. "Now that we're alone, I can do this." Luke said, leaning down. Harry leaned in too. Then they met in the middle and kissed. It was the best moment they spent together alone.

"We should do this more often." Harry giggled.

"Agreed." Luke said and kissed Harry again.

After all the commotion has subsided, Zayn is the only one left in the gym. Suddenly, Perrie appears with one of Zayn's cookies in hand, and some of the cookies in her mouth. "These cookies are genius! The best things I've ever tasted!" She tosses the remains of the cookie behind her. "Will you make more for me, Zayn?" Perrie takes off after Zayn who has now started trying to get away from Perrie but she catches him.

"I might even more you a Crème brûlée." Zayn said happily and smiles in victory.
