       After having a tiny little catfight with Veronica, Carmen, Mia, Eve and I walked to the field to watch the boys practice. We took a seat on the bleacher and my eyes started to wander to look for Peter. Alex was giving a small brieffing before they continued their practice.

"Alex is getting better you know," Mia piped in.

"Huh?"

"Yeah, he started to find a new girl and I think he likes Penelope from his Physics class."

"That's great. Penelope is a nice girl," I said, smiled.

"I know right?"

"So Eve, how's your relationship with Thomas?" I asked.

"Huh? What?" she asked and her cheeks turned into a bright pink.

"Oh come on, it has been weeks okay or should I say month," I whined.

"Well we are trying to work it out...he seems like I don't know..." she trailed and sighed.

"I guess you both need time...you both are like a nerdy couple with Tommy being all goody brat and you being all sexy nerd," Mia said and we all laughed.

"Nice shot Mia," Eve said sacrastically and joined us laughing.

"Take ten!" Alex shouted and all the players are dismissed. Peter, Alex, Dylan, Thomas and Tony were walking towards and and should I say walked towards each other's girl and so does Peter.

"Hey babe," he said and pulled me into a kiss.

"Oh god you're sweaty," Mia whined when Tony hugged and kissed her. Peter and I chuckled and broke off our kiss. Dylan and Carmen were so into each other's throats and Alex looked like he's going to puke anytime soon.

"My friends fall in love with each other and I was left alone," Alex muttered and we all laughed.

"Oh Alex...you should ask Penelope to see you practice...ask her out sometimes," I said and he blushed.

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"You need to stop playing crap with me dude. Ask her out," I said.

"I don't think she likes me," he said.

"Oh please...everyone likes Alexander Clarkson," I said and he laughed.

"I'll try."

"Be a man or else, I'll grip you like I did to Ver just now," I said and all the boys' eyes widen.

"You what?" they asked in unison.

"Oh Veronica came towards us and said to Rach 'so you think that you are good enough because Peter is yours now?' and Rach said 'I didn't say anything' and maybe Rach already hit her limit and she lunged towards Rach and who doesn't know Rachel Grey so she gripped Ver's neck and Ver said that Rach is a bitch before walked away," Carmen explained and the boys just gaped.

"She deserves it," Alex muttered.

"She shouldn't do that at the first place though," Dylan said before bursted into laughter.

"That's my girl!" Peter exclaimed before pulled me into a hot kiss. I smiled on his lips before pulled him closer and wrapped my arms around his neck. I don't care about how sweaty he is because I'm so immuned with sweats especially guys'.

"Guys, even I have my boyfriend here beside me but I will feel damn embarassing to kiss him like that," Mia commented and we both just ignored her.

"Make it quick and we have another an hour before having a day off tomorrow until the competition," Alex said and grumbled before walked to the field.

"Wait for me okay?" he said after he pulled off and I nodded. I watched him walked down from the bleacher and ran to the field to continue their practice.

"Who knows the guy that used to say that you're talkative and annoying will finally head over heels on you," Mia said and I laughed because it's true. Everything is changed. A very happy and satisfying changes.

Days passed by and it's already Wednesday. As usual, dad already flew away across the world for business and mum continues her fashion tour since fashion week is around the corner. It was just June, Aunty Jenna and I left in the house. Peter came to pick me up for school. I changed into turtle neck sweatshirt and knee lengthed jeans. I pulled my hair into a tight ponytail before slung my backpack over my shoulder and strolled downstairs.

"Morning Aunt Jenna," I beamed.

"Morning lil daisy," she said, smiled. I ran to the kitchen and eat my breakfast quickly.

"Slow down Rachie...you'll choke," she said and I slowly gulped my breakfast.

"I'll be late. Goodbye Aunt Jenna," I hollered before running out from the house and hopped on Peter's car.

"Morning babe," he greeted and I gave him a peck on lips.

"Morning," I said and he accelerated to school.

"Are you coming to the match tonight?" he asked.

"Yeah of course. I never missed them for a beat," I said. We reached school and I hopped off from his car. He walked beside me and wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to his side chest and walked inside the school.

"Hey Rach!" Mia beamed and hugged me.

"Hey Mia," I said after we pulled off.

"I've reserved seats for you guys near to our booth," Alex said and we nodded. The bell rang and it's time for English. I don't have to worry since Peter will be sitting next to me. We both walked to our own classes and I settled down beside Peter as usual. I put on my glasses and turned to Peter that already staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You never realized that I always stare at you everytime you put on those glasses on though," he said and I gaped.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I even take a peek three times a minute and at the end of the class Mr. Parker told me that he noticed it," he said and my eyes widen.

"Since when?" I asked.

"The first day I transferred here."

Damn.
