RIVER

"They're coming, hurry up!"

Footsteps echo through the room, getting closer by the second. My heart beats faster with anticipation and I hold back a nervous laugh.

Sabrina takes a peek at the hall with panic eyes, waving her hand as to tell us to be quick. Only one last locker to go.

"Here, it's the last one," Riley throws me the bag.

I unzip it and take out the bottle, spraying it around the whole locker. Once I've made sure I did a good job, I close it and bite back a smirk as I read the name 'Kingston'.

Sorry, Casanova, I'm taking the win.

I grin confidently, "Cmon!"

Pulling my friends by their arms, who rush to the shower stalls. We use the curtains to hide ourselves and press our hands over our mouths when we hear people stepping inside.

My gaze shifts between the two girls, then close as I force myself not to make a sound. Riley's face is red, as mine must be as well, and she distracts herself by pulling out her phone.

We talk only in murmurs and hand gestures, as she opens the camera app and points it in a angle that gets all the boys. Luckily no one is on full display.

"Fuck, man, my legs are killing me." our senses are alarmed as we hear one of their voices.

"Yeah, Coach hasn't been going any easy on us either, we really need to ace the next game." we recognise Kai this time.

"Tell King to stop being so distracted all the damn time and we might!" Theo chuckles with a shake of his head.

My heart stops when I hear him, "Fuck off."

"Nah he's right, something's been working up your mind lately, you haven't even gone out with us in a minute!" another points out in matter of factually.

Carter snorts, "I could bet on why,"

"King you got a girlfriend?"

"None of your damn business," Dex's the one to speak up, his eyebrows narrowing in a stern way, "No wonder you don't have one, Gibson."

Laughter erupts through the room, a few of the players flicking the guy's head who winces at the sudden acts. I exchange look with the girls and we hold back on joining in.

Riley nudges our arms and before I can lift a brow at the slight force she did that with, someone catches my attention first.

The four boys start making their way towards their  lockers, bodies seeming to be exhausted. I'd feel sorry, but just two days ago I was splashed with cold water in front of the whole school.

We stop breathing, not daring to make a sound, as he unlocks the compartment and completely unaware opens the door.

One. Two. Three!

Balloons pop and hot pink glitter splatters right on the four's faces, painting them like Picasso. First comes confusion, then shock and lastly realisation.
