The locker room in the gym was bustling with teenage girls changing their outfits,being on their phones and gossiping.Roses by Chainsmokers was blaring through a girls bluetooth speakers and lively chats and laughs was in the air.But Emily,even though know for having so many friends,was stretching her legs,not in the mood to talk to any of her team mates or friends since she always took her training seriously than others would.Stretching up her arms,the hem of her shirt lifted up slightly while she chewed bubble gum,trying to clear her mind from the boring lectures of her teachers earlier

She was so glad to finally get away from the classroom,ack.It was so boring in there,She was sure everyone could all agree on that.She almost got in trouble too,but got away with it as usual.She started to realise maybe she shouldn't have partied last night and slept early,but that's not how she does things.Besides,that guy from last night was so freakin hot!She just couldn't turn him down

"Emily!Are you done?"One of her team mates called out,and continued to gossip with the others

"Yep!"She yelled out,tying her shoes up tightly.She skipped to the others with a grin plastered on her face,and they all headed out to the field,the smell of soil and grass hitting their noses.The sky was still bright and some students were on the bleachers doing their businesses,and crowd of students headed out of the school since it was end of classes

"Alright girls!"Their couch called out,clapping his hands and blowing his silver whistle.He lets go of the whistle and furrows his eye brows,his forehesd wrinkling and puts both of his hands on his stomach "Time for your warm ups so enough chit chats!"

The girls stretched their legs a little bit before they began to run on the track field around the soccer field,the soft breeze of the wind blowing their hair

"Hey Emi,freakazoid is looking at you"One of Emily's best friends who was on the soccer team,Anne,said,tilting her head to her left to show which direction for Emily to look at

"Which one is it?"Emily asked as she looked at the direction Anne was gesturing as.She furrowed her eye brows and squinted eyes to get a clearer sight of the blue eyes staring right at her blankly "Ben Hiddleston?"

"Yep,the one who was staring at you earlier in English class,he's probably into you"Anne said,her face grimacing "All this time I thought he was homo or something,nothing wrong with that,but Ben is just ew"

Emily stared at Ben for a while,observing him slightly.He was lean but scrawny,his dark brown bangs covered his right eye a bit,which made Emily wonder why he's not itching or scratching his eyelid yet.His clothes looked loose on him,Emily thought that she probably had more fat than him,or maybe his clothes were just too big

Emily didn't realise that Ben looked confused and shocked when he saw her staring right at him,he probably thought she was checking him out

'As if!' Emily thought arrogantly,mentally rolling her eyes.Emily faked a charismatic wink and bit her bottom lip slightly,trying to play the clueless boy with her charms

Ben got flustered and quickly looked away,feeling embarrassed and flustered,his cheeks flaring up a bit.Emily giggled at the poor boy's reaction,looking away from him with a smug smirk on her face

Anna laughed along with her, brushing her blonde pony tail off her shoulder "Way to freak him out Emily"

"That's how I do things" Emily said

Meanwhile,Ben was a bit taken back from Emily's action,still not getting over the flirtatious action she did.Ben shook his head, why should he care?That girl was probably just playing around like the egoistical freak she was.Ben rolled his eyes and pulled put his phone and plugged the head sets in it then to his ears

"A good way to end the day"Ben mumbled, and began to play his playlists from Spotify, humming to the music to calm his nerves down. He just stood there waiting for his mother to come and pick him up, bobbing his head to the music

Emily tried to observe Ben's features more,but his back was turned.Maybe she shouldn't have scared him off...  'Oh well,why am I bothered by him anyways'

Emily just played with the soccer ball with her feet, still chewing her bubble gum.When her coach blew his whistle, she inhaled deeply and began to play, her face now serious and just focused on her training, getting lost in her favourite sport
