Never In A Million Years

Chapter One

~Karabo's POV~

I had caught myself staring at Allyson again. Damn, this was the fifth time, and each time she would giggle when she noticed me. But I can't help it, she is just so beautiful. Her personality is so amazing, her eyes sparkle when she laughs, and when she smiles, it's like that of an angel.

We had just arrived in Tokyo, Japan for the 2020 Olympics. This was my second Olympics while it was everyone else's first. Although, I wasn't the oldest. I am 21 and 3years older than Allyson. Which should definately mean that I shouldnt be seeing her the way I do.

I mean Boithuto was a year younger than me and she showed me way more interest than Ally. But then again, she was just throwing herself at me. She envied Ally cause of the way I saw her. I'm just amazed that the 3 other men here can't see her the same. I should be happy, I don't have to compete with anyone for her attention. 

"Karay, what are you thinking about?" Ah, the wonderful sound of her voice. And that nickname she gave me? Karay, isnt it just adorable. 

I turn to her to seem cool about the way I answered. But I can't. My heart is pacing and her voice makes me weak. 

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I glance at her giving her the satisfaction of my eyes.

"Try me."

"Drop it, Ally."

"Karay?"

"Yeah?" I turn to her full body now. 

She looked at me and patted the seat next to hers. I walked over and sat down.

"Do you think your gonna share a room with me?" She asked innocently.

"Boy, wouldn't that be great!" 

She giggles a little and lets out a sigh. Concerned I turn away and dig my hand into my pocket. I pull out a locket that I'd been meaning to give her.

"Here" I finally manage to mumble out.

"What is it?"

"Locket, duhh. In it, you'll find a picture of me. I want you to always know, that you'll always have me around. If you need anything, anything at all. Ask, alright?" I gave her a reassuring look.

"Of course, Karay. I love you." Of course she meant that in a playful, friendly kinda way. There was no way she felt that way. Within minutes, she pulled me in for a hug.

"Alright, team Botswana, you'll get the penthouse and team Jamaica, the entire hotel." the clerk tells us. 

Team Botswana is the team I belong on. The team heads off to the penthouse and while walking, Boithuto came over, and sank her hand into mine.

"You and me?" she looked up at me.

"Sure." I gave her the benefit of holding my hand. 

It still didn't change the way I felt about Allyson. I mean, Boithuto was great and all, but she wasnt Ally. My Ally.
