Just as I finish putting my jersey on for practice, Belinda came over and smile at me, "Anna, coach wants to see you" That makes me blink repeatedly in confusion,

"Okay"

Last time I went in there, it went bad. What could be worse that that?

"Coach?" I knocked

"Come in Hart" I open the door then walk to his desk, for some weird reason, he wouldn't meet my eyes.

Okay... can't be good.

Could it be that he find out about the snake prank I pulled on Josie? Crap. Some of my teammates may dislike me but most of them knew how it unfair the selection was. They even bet Josie gave him BJ.

Yuck.

She think it's funny to make fun of me and mess with my stuffs so the girls were excited to help me get back at her. Riley even bought her friendly snake pet for it. I was so happy seeing Josie scream like a little girl. Now, it's so not funny.

"Coach, I can e-"

"You are going to the meet"

"Wait, what?"

"Turns out there were some mistake made in your points so after I redid the calculation, you got the highest" he shove a new list on the table to me,

"So you can go now" he give me a tight smile.

I look at the paper and frown, "But points are still the same" only this time Josie got 3rd place. So basically mistake on her points, not mine.

"Enough. I work hard calculating them so stop questioning. You got what you want. Now go. You need to practice for tonight's game" he snaps

Geez.

"Okay" I thought Josie was glaring at me and being extra snappy today due to that prank but seems like it was due to this. Maybe she knew.

Who cares.

I walk out of his office with a huge smile, I almost bumped into Esther as she was waiting for me, "Anna. It's the prank isn't it!? I- I'll take blame" she flush as she says the last part.

Damn, I feel so bad. I ruffle her hair, "It's okay. That's not it"

By the time I said that, the girls were already surrounding me asking what's up so I showed them the new list and they cheered for me. Now, that's done. Time to win tonight. I can't lose after I got this opportunity. I'll show coach working back to that calculation was worth it.

With a new spirit, I got out to the field where the boys were waiting for us. Coach wants us to practice with the boys today so there they are, already out on the field. Luke was waving at me with a grin. I walk to over to him,

"Ready to get your ass kick, pretty boy?"

"If you are going to kiss it better, why not?" he shurg making me shake my head with a smile. He never quit.

(An; Now we are back to the very present)

."Josie! Pass me the ball!" I shouted at Josie who had no intention of passing me due to her personal issue with me.

Fuck her.

We have no time for this!

"CLAY! PASS HART THE DAMN BALL!" the couch shouts from a distance.

Huh. Now he supports me!?

Josie knew I was the only option left as Mark tried to steal the ball from her. So she passed me. I quickly control the ball when it reach me and waste no time to score. And goal!! My team shouts in happiness. Surrounding me and hugging me.

After they parted, I was grabbed from behind by Luke. He spins me around before saying. "Great job Hart" He hugs me.

"You did it not so bad yourself" I smile at him.

"You did kick my butt. Now who's gonna kiss it better" he pouts I don't even feel a sense of thrill like I would years ago at his flirtaeous gesture,

"Not happening buddy"

"Anna" I hear someone barks my name.

Uh oh. Logan.

I turn my head to see him. He hooked his finger motioning for me to go to him. He didn't look too happy with his eyes narrowed and jaws harden. He look broodier than usual

Everyone and everything else seems to fade as I was walking closer to him. He put his hands on either side of my waist as I stand in front of him. The warmth from his skin making me aware of his hands there.

He invades my space by bending low and get right at my face making me lick my sudden dry lips. He grumbled as his eyes darted to it then get back to mine, he keep his eyes mine as he repeated what I just did with his tongue making me gasp.

Oh fuck oh fuck. He's too intense. My poor heart.

He give me a cocky grin as if knowing what he does to me before he use my slightly parted lips as an advantage to dip in and kiss me.

Logan's teammates who were practicing football of the other side of the field were watching us and howl playfully from a distance. He pulls back back then growl low "You shouldn't have let him touch you"

I couldn't say anything. He's damn possessive. No. Don't let your guard down. Everyone's watching. This is just a damn show, remember that.

I feel a pang of pain but I have to no space for that so I ignore it. I couldn't reach his lips without standing on my toes so I just press a small kiss under his chin, "He doesn't matter" I smile. His expression doesn't change so he probably think I am joining his show. It is better that way. I can't let him know I meant that with all my heart. No other guy matters to me. I can't be selfish and encourage him when I have nothing to give.

"Damn right he isn't" he scowl childishly making me smile.

Fuck. He better miss the adoration in my smile. "Are you coming to the game tonight?" I change the topic and he nods. Oh, while I am at it, I think it's about time I tell him about the meet,

"Hey, you remember the whole soccer meet?"

"Yes, what about it" he smile

"Well, I'm chosen to go!! Coach made some mistake so Josie was chosen first the he realized his mistake and made new sheet today"

He went quiet for a moment studying me before he said in a low deadly tone, "You didn't mention anything before"

"It was no big deal" I shrug and something flash in his eyes.

He sigh and smile, "You'll do great"

"Mhmm" 

"Go grab your bag, I'll wait"

"Kay"
