ARYA SAVIER

I stared at myself in the mirror and double-checked myself.

Earrings check.

Criss-cross wedges check

White simple sleeveless dress check

I smooth out my hair then placed my blue, butterfly-designed hair clip. I blinked my eyes to make sure what I was seeing in the mirror was okay. My outfit I think is too girly!

Have I overdone myself?

Anton texted me the location of Sunville court and told me to be there about 5:30 PM. He even tipped me to look nice.

I don't know where he got my number but he encouraged me to go. I still have some doubts and I was really nervous. I don't know anyone there except Brian and his gang. But then again, I wanted to see Brian play. I never even knew he was in the basketball team, not until he quitted.

I took a deep breath. You could do this Arya! It's finally your chance to get close to him.

Before I could back out, I quickly picked up my sling bag then went out of the house to hail a cab.

BRIAN CHRISTIAN HARVARD

I feel good.

I haven't hang out with my friends for a long time. I haven't even held a ball for weeks!

Today we'll be having a friendly match against some of our elementary friends, even friends from freshman and sophomore year who already transferred to other schools.

It was like a mini-reunion. I was currently on the locker rooms of Sunville court preparing for the current game, I was tying my shoelaces while Anton was currently drinking some bottled water. On his other hand, he was texting someone. Weird, why was Anton smiling while texting?

"Oi Anton! Where are the others?"

"Hmm? Oh, they were so excited they left ahead?"

Anton seemed distracted so I slung my arm on him and gave him a look. "Who're you texting dummy? Is that a new girl?" I stared at him suspiciously.

"A-A of course not! Ha-ha! Just some friend!" He made a move but I was quicker than him and stole his phone.

"HEY BRI! GIVE ME THAT!"

"Princess...be here at 5:30 PM and wear something nice..." I frowned while reading Anton's message. "Princess? Who's princess?" Anton just grabbed his phone and pouted.

"Hmmp! You'll see later!" Anton crossed his arms I knew he was annoyed at something.

"Who was that Anton?" I edged.

"Fine! Fine! Now the surprise is ruined!" Anton scowled. "It's your Princess dimwit!"

My eyes widened. "W-What?!!!! Arya's coming??!!!"

Anton slowly smiled. "I didn't mention a name. What? So she really is your Princess?"

I flushed. "S-Shut up! Stop messing with me!" I smacked Anton's arm.

"S-So is s-she coming or what?" I asked again.

"Yeah, so you better work hard to impress her." Anton laughed.

"S-Shut up!!!" I couldn't help it. I don't know why, but at the thought of Arya coming to watch me play makes my heart beat furiously. Like, I was nervous, half excited.
