   Oliver flashed a charming smile at me when she he saw me in the locker room. He was wearing his blazer which was marked Gargano at the back.  Somehow he looked... different.

  Oh the glasses. He wasn't putting on glasses anymore and his eyes were suddenly orange??

   He chuckled when he saw the confusion all over my face.

     " They're medicated contact lenses. I'll take them off after playing"  He told me.
I heaved a sigh. Now that explains better.
   " Wish me luck" He said as he walked up to me with another friend of his.
" I wish you luck" I grinned and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

   " Hey losers!" We heard and turned to see Bobby. The mere sight of him irked me.

   " You won't be lucky this time" He winked at Oliver who regarded him with a nonchalant stare as the idiot walked away with some other of his team mates.

   " Beat his ass. I know you will" I said turning to Oliver who gave me a smug smile.
" You know I will" I said before leaving.

   ********

  " What did he say?" Drina asked when I sat close to her on the bleachers. I was quite surprised when I saw that Pinkerton and Fenty were cheerleaders and were on Oliver's team.  Well not too surprised 😒 She looked like a cheerleader anyway.

     " Who Bobby?" I asked and groaned unpleasantly.

  😅 She didn't like Bobby too.

   " Not Bobby, Oliver!" She blurted.
  " Oh Oliver? I just wished him good luck" I said.  "With a perk on the cheek actually" I was just too excited to keep that to myself.
Drina gave me a soft smile before concentrating on the game.

    The game hadn't even gotten up to  30.minutes and Oliver's team had already scored 5 points. Bobby's team were still at one.
A pinch on my leg startled me and I turned to see Louis slumped down on Drina's seat. He was grinning at me. I grinned back. 
 
  " You're late" I pointed out.
He was going to reply when Pinkerton came out from nowhere and planted herself on his thighs.

" Seriously Pinkert?" Louis said

    " I'm comfortable here" She said and I looked off pretending not to see anything.
  She's really set on pissing me off. Isn't she?

   When she left, I couldn't help but spew "you both should get a room next time. She can't keep groping you in public places" I said crisply without looking. 

  " She ain't groping me --" He said and I butt in.
" Yea, whatever. What's up with the sweet name calling? The perks, the hugs?? You could had told me she was your girlfriend so I can at least give you both privacy when she comes by" I said turning to look at him. His eyebrows were raised completely in stun.

    " Pinkert's my cousin "

       Oh

  My twitching eyes softened in realization and I suddenly felt embarrassed at my outburst.
" You -" I said but I the shouts and gasps from the audience caught my attention. Louis's too. He stood up and we looked over and saw Oliver curling up into a ball on the floor holding his legs. 

  The whistle was blown and almost everyone including me ran to the stage.

    " Screw you Bobby!" I saw Drina palmed Bobby hard on the chest. I hurried there to stop her.
" Drina please stop" I said holding her back.
  " He did it. He broke his leg" Drina said pointing a finger to Bobby.

   " Make sure her filthy hands don't touch me again else you're gonna -" Bobby threatened and Drina palmed him harder again this time making him staggered back.
" You're gonna what asshole?" Drina was so mad.
