One ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nick! Nick! Nick" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀All students, dressed in yellow and blue, the colors of West Town High, were all screaming, cheering, dancing and shouting the last three minutes of the football game. Chloe Lukasiak was one of them, cheering in the crowd, supporting her big brother. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Come on Nick! Show me that you're a real Lukasiak!" She shouted. Nick caught her gaze and he stiffly nodded at her, him being completely focused on the game. He winked encouragingly at her, and Chloe smiled, folding her hands together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Let's go..." She whispered to herself, hoping that her brother would make the final points. The game is almost finished and they're on a tie against East Town High. So yeah, it's their biggest rival so they need to win. They just need to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The crowd gasped and jumped up in unison as the final seconds started ticking away. Nick ran with the ball in his hand, and from the moment he realized that he wouldn't make it on his own, he reacted like a pro. "Garcia, Catch!" He yelled. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky Garcia, his best friend caught the ball Nick threw at him, and if this was a movie, you would watch this scene in slow motion. You would see how the seconds are ticking away slowly and Ricky who was running against the time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And right when the time is up, Ricky scored the last, and final point, causing West Town High to win the game. The whole tribune was going crazy and all students ran off of it, grabbing the two guys who made the team win, and they were cheering, dancing, shouting as crazy because they won. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Nick held the trophy high in the air while their smile was bigger than ever before, and after a while, the two guys stood on their own feet again. "Nice job, Bro" Nick said, fist- bumping Ricky. "Couldn't have done it without you" He replied. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe came up to them and jumped in her brother's arms. "Congratulations, quarterback" She sniggered, "you totally deserved the win." She said, "I knew you could do it" she whispered in his ear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I love you lil' sis" Nick replied, before he was slurped into the celebrating crowd again. Chloe stared at Ricky for a while and then smiled softly, putting a strain of her blonde hair behind her ear. "Congratulations to you too, Ricky" Chloe shyly said, "they wouldn't have won without you." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He held put his helmet on the ground, and smiled thankfully at the blonde. Sure, Chloe had seen Ricky plenty of times in her house, but she never really spoke to him. The only thing she had said to him before was a simple "hello" because she saw him in her house often. But more than that? Nope, not one decent conversation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Thanks," Ricky said. Chloe shifted her feet uncomfortably and stared at the ground for a while, not really knowing what to do or say. She wants to talk to him, but she doesn't know how to start a conversation. And walking away would be ignorant and rude. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"So..." Ricky said, clearing his throat, "you come to the party tonight?" He asked, trying to talk to her. Chloe looked up and giggled a little bit, going with her hand through her hair, "well yeah..." She said, "Nick is still my brother and the party happens to be at my house so..." She said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky laughed and shook his head, rubbing the back of his neck in slight embarrassment. "My bad," he chuckled, "I sometimes forget that my best friend has an extremely cute sister." He said, flirtatiously winking at her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe felt the heat coming up her cheeks, but tried to hide it from Ricky by looking the other way. "So I guess I'll see you tonight?" Ricky asked, and he touched her arm for a split of a second. It was a fragile, soft touch which only lasted for a fraction of a second, but still it felt like an electric shock. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Yeah ofc-" Chloe wanted to reply, but some students bumped into her, causing her to fall. Ricky was quick to react and caught her in his arms, before she would hit the ground. Their bodies were practically pressed against each other, and their faces were inches apart. It took Chloe some seconds to realize how close they were. "Oh I am so sorry" She apologized, blushing deeply. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You're okay?" Ricky laughed. Chloe nodded slowly and smiled, especially when she realized that he was still holding her, even though she could easily stand by her own. His arm was wrapped around her waist, and her hand rested on his chest. They had barely spoken to each other, but yet it felt comfortable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Uh- excuse me?" A bitchy, arrogant female voice called out. Chloe and Ricky both turned their head, and when Chloe saw a brunette, she quickly released from Ricky. "What do you think your doing?" The brunette asked, pulling Chloe by her arm, away from Ricky, and she took his arm, draping it over her shoulders. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"It's nothing, Kendall" Ricky groaned, "she's Nick's little sister, she fell and I caught her on time." Ricky explained, rolling his eyes. "Hand off of my boyfriend," Kendall scoffed at Chloe, who just awkwardly stood there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Babe..." Ricky sighed, "I'm sorry for her," Ricky said to Chloe, narrowing his eyes at Kendall. "It's okay," Chloe said, clearing her throat. "I think I should go them," Chloe said, pointing behind her. Ricky waved goodbye, in displease of Kendall of course. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe turned around and started to walk away, but she couldn't help to look one more time behind her. Only to see how Kendall was now pressed against Ricky's body, his hands around her waist, her hands on his chest, and how they kissed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The blonde turned around again in disgust and sighed. "Nick's little sister," she scoffed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"The name is Chloe, thank you..." she muttered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
