There were 6 people on field along with the batsman, So we can say that there are 5 players each team. I observed the field for the batsman's team, l could see two persons swinging to the banyan branches and a guy under the tree in the shade who looked totally immersed in his thoughts with a laptop in his hands whilst a ball raced towards me , I could easily dodge but would it be nice for a first impression so I caught it . I could hear the applause and they were coming for me . Wait wait... not just for me . Game's over, that is why they were coming to the pavilion where I was seated as well .Every one found their seat, some on tires and others on chairs whilst Megan sat facing me . Someone in Megan's house must be a car freak and a bad driver I guess as I could see many spare parts, worn out tires and scrap lying in the pavilion .
She was introducing me to them .The guys who were hanging to the branches looked hurried and they left . But that brainy was still in the shade staring at his laptop passively. There were 6 people around me including me as well , every one had unique physical features, one looked tall , the other fat , some other dark but what's with these physical features , do they matter ? It is the heart & thought which matters l think .
" Hi buddy! Nice meeting you ,"greeted an amusing voice having the seat of Megan . He looked like the male version of her except for the scar on his right cheek
" He's my evil twin brother , Marsh ," she snarled looking a bit angrily at him .
" But not as evil as you ," quips Marsh .Every one laughs while I chuckle . Meanwhile a male voice shouts, "Marshy, come in ."
" I will catch up with you later buddy , " Says he and leaves.
"Thank god ! He's gone," she relaxes , having her seat back . By the way Marsh is the exceptional batsman while the bowler's beside me , he looks a little young than us . While the one who sat on tires rises up staring me as if he wanted to question me, he is an aboriginal, a native of Australia which I could say from his attire and the way he speaks .
His name's Barli , it sounds different na."Where are you from?" He interrogates me like a cop staring at his fat friend Bradley .
"Sydney, sir ! " I fake quiver as if I was frightened . Every one laughs whilst Megan smiles , this time brad rises up as if to question then my mobile chirps giving me message that 《 The pizza which you have ordered is here , sir.》
I text back to bring it the place we are now and he delivered the pizza . Brad withdrawals the idea of questioning me seeing the cheesy and large spicy pizza which made us laugh . That wasn't in time but it was at the right time as they looked hungry .
" Every one have a piece ," I request . They were all jovial . Brad had the first one followed by Barli and Steve the young exceptional bowler and next the glasses named watson , he was immersed in his video games till the delicious smell reached his long nose, he is tall as well and I had my piece but Megan didn't have any,may be she was in a diet but she doesn't need to as she's damn perfect.
"Why don't you have one, don't say that your on a diet, " I chuckle offering her pizza.
"Yeah, she's on diet ," Brad spluttered through his mouthful of food.
"What for ! You look splendid, " I exclaim staring into her greenish blue eyes which makes her chuckle and others laugh.
"Who's that brainy in the banyan shade," I ask Steve with a confused look on my face.
"My elder brother , Speed ! Brother, "he replies and I look a little shocked as I couldn't find any similar features ,may be it was because he was a little far, more over does his name suit him ??
My thoughts were interrupted by Barli as he starts squabbling with Steve."You never addressed me or brad as brother but you call him brother just with in a few minutes," Barli croaks.
"U don't deserve 'brother' so , I never called you brother, "quips Steve. Which makes every one laugh at him . " You little brat," groans Barli going near Speed . 9:00 am my mobile alarmed whilst Marsh returned and gathered every one . It is the first time I saw movement in 'Mr.Slow' ,I mean Speed .
There were 9 players on field including me . Marsh had a coin toss with brad to select the teams but there were odd number of players as two left early and I joined now . Megan suggested that she would watch the play rather than play .
"Sit in the dock barbie doll ,"quips Marsh which made her angry but she even looked cute. She challenged that he would lose this match for sure but Marsh grinned while watson interrupts, " Does winning or losing have any meaning without a prize ? "
"What do you say Megan?"questioned Marsh with a grin.
"Fine ,"screams she . Barli comes with a strange idea that the loser should have a walk at mid night through the graveyard which is the large backyard of a creepy haunted house as well.
I didn't have any knowledge of that area, but I heard few rumours about that haunted area that it was a lodge in 1990's but it got eventually seized after repeated raids ,proving that it had connections with illegal businesses & smugglers which forced the owner commit suicide by falling into an old well in his own lodge as he could not bare the blames and insults of the society and his own family . People say that he still wanders around the graveyard and in that old,damaged, abandoned lodge... This is what I heard .
The selections have been started . Marsh won the toss and chose Steve , they were shocked as Marsh never chose Steve to be in his team because he thought that the opposition would be weak but this time he wanted to win . While Bradley chose Barli. He could choose me but I wasn't that familiar with them so he didn't choose, I think. But I wanted to be in Brad's team and help them win but Marsh chose me and made an evil grin seeing Megan
"Never mind,"frowned Megan with a smirk .
Me, Marsh , Steve , Watson were a team and the others were the other team .
I was the first to bat i.e the hitter . What should I do ? Should I make my team win or should I be out . But even if I am out ,Marsh or Steve would easily pave our way to win .So I've decided to play , at least I can prove my talent but I felt sad for her .
The game began . Barli was the bowler , it was easy to play him. I've scored pretty well along with Steve . During the play Speed really moved speed which surprised me. Our innings were completed . It is their time to bat . Megan cheered them which really improved their play but it was of no use as they lost the match. They raised me up in joy as I was the 'Man of the match' . Brad apologises her for losing the match whilst Marsh reached there and provoked " what now ! Barbie girl ."
"I am not a coward as you do ,neither I believe in these rumours,"yelled Megan but I could clearly see fear in her magical eyes.
I really wanted to support her as I was the one who made her lose . She didn't even look at me after the match or maybe it was my feeling.
How can I help her ???
