Maybe...?

CHAPTER 12

"C'mon Eleanor, we don't have all morning." The teacher has always been like this with me.

I go running to his team.

"We're gonna do our best, okay?" Aiden says grinning.

I nod.

He's just too adorable.

"Team 1 will compete with team 2 right now." Mr. Maguire declares.

I gaze at Aiden, showing him that I'm totally nervous.

"Let's win." He winks at me.

I see the ball going from Julie's to Lucas's, they are running like two professional basketball players.

Meanwhile, I desire not to touch the ball.

It will slide from my hands.

I watch how Aiden is trying his best, but yeah, he chose me, and that's a bad point for him, I can't do anything for help this team.

So I keep standing under the basketball nest, willing myself to do something If someone of the other team comes.

The sun heat hits me hard.

Suddenly I observe that Lucas is running towards me, bouncing the ball with one single hand, probably wanting to throw it in the direction of our team basket.

I'm not going to let him score.

I start to find the position of defending.

I look at him angrily.

He's going to pay for what he said.

I'm way shorter than him, but that's not a problem.

I can jump..., right?

I do it and guess what.

No, it wasn't the best choice.

Lucas pushes me with all his energy, and I obviously fall onto the harsh floor.

Before I can scream, he had already scored.

The pain is big.

But the madness is bigger.

This is not fair, this was his fault.

I detect that my butt will hurt during some days.

Everyone else is clapping him.

I roll my eyes, aiming myself to not stand up and push him harder.

"Are you okay?"

Aiden.

I raise my look.

"Well, my butt hurts," I say without even thinking.

I cover my mouth with both of my hands.

I feel red cheeks on my face.

"He was too raw." He admits.

I smile.

He offers me his hand.

"Thanks." He lifts me up.

"Who said revenge?" An evil smirk appears on his factions.

I laugh.

How could I not be in love with this person?

"Okay, continue guys." Mr. Maguire tells us.

I watch Lucas with bad intentions.

I think he noticed it.

He walks by my side, without any expression.

"I'm sorry."

DID HE JUST APOLOGIZE?

I'm shocked.

Maybe he's not a bad dude.

"I'm sorry... for being this good." He ends his sentence with a little snort.

"Stop talking." "I'm going to punch you in the face If you don't." I articulate seriously.

"Ow. A bad girl." He gazes. "My type."

My mouth starts to insult him.

They are really awful words so I'm going to save this UP 18 scene.

"You've finished?" He asks after all that shit.

I breathe deeply.

"Sure." I pronounce and turn around.

He's still standing behind.

"It's always a pleasure to talk with you" He sighs walking away.

I feel that the vein on my forehead is getting bigger and bigger.

                                              ...

Of course, we've lost the competition, but that's not the thing that bothers me.

I'm walking into the Geography class and I see that Julie is trying to talk with Lucas, who is naturally ignoring her.

I put my books on the desk.

"Don't waste your time with... that," I tell her.

"Hey, I'm here." He reminds me.

"Wish you weren't." I sit down.

"Is she usually this nasty?" He asks her.

"Not, believe me, she's the nicest person I've ever known."

What...?

"Oh, then I guess it's my fault." He deduces.

OH, BRAVO, YOU GOT IT.

I gap.

"After all the things you called me, it's normal to be tired." He heard me gapping.

I lift my fist.

"Okay, okay. I won't talk again babe."

BABE?
