The Shy Girl's Bad Boy (Interracial) ✅

Ch.23 Did It Like A Champ

Melanie's pov

A finger tapped behind my shoulder, I look beside me then behind me, seeing Travis. "You saw that?!" "Yeah I did! I knew she would grab that fake hair!!!" I smile rebelliously.  I look at him, realizing this was Travis, whom D said made her upset. 

My smile went from friendly to a frown, " What?" 

"I heard what Diane said to me about you, I'm gonna ask you this, you get one shot only! Where did the picture come from? And don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about!" I scoot up, "A friend gave me a snapshot, its from a different account" he explains, I look down at Tee being escorted out of the gym on the other side, 

"But it had nothing to do with me, I promise Melanie."

 "Well Diane certainly isn't believing you Travis." I can't believe I'm actually talking to him, I never thought I had the courage to do this!  I mean, D's mad at him so I'll  get straight to the point. 

"Diane as you notice is very....closed off when it comes to people. She had some trust in you and once D finds out someone stabs her back, she'll completely break off from them. She rarely gives people a second chance! If she like tells you personal things about her, then you gotta be a special person, you would be like her best friend, completely trusting you." 

"I noticed it too, I can be sometimes like that."

 "Oh really? Well I think you need to apologize to her, though you didn't do anything, just explain yourself-when she's not in beast mode right now ^^'"

 "Fine. I was thinking about going to that festival tomorrow, maybe we can do it there."

 "*Gasp* Perfect!!" I almost yell, but catch a hold of myself, "Best idea ever!! Are you coming with anyone?" "Yeah, my friends. " 

"Who's your friends? Those two I see with you almost all the time on insta?" 

"Yeah them" 

"Well, I'll come with Diane, that way we can meet each other! Where do you wanna meet? Anywhere but the Ferris Wheel, she's literally scared of that thing. She hates heights"

"....How about where they sell those snowballs?"

 "Its a deal!" I smile, "Anyway, I'm gonna check on her"

 "Do they allow people back there?" "Don't know but I'm going anyway!" I make my way down the bleachers, onto the gym floor, picking up one of Tee's extensions that were scattered on the ground, it was hard to avoid laughter while everything was being settled. I threw it back on the floor.

The game was delayed so far, I went through the doors, into the hallway looking for  Diane, then a loud scream came from the bathroom, yep. That's Diane.  I quickly shove the extension in my pocket, and run to the girl's bathroom. I walked in seeing 3 volleyball players, one of them came to me, "Melanie, she's having a really bad break down. I have no idea why!"

 "She has really bad anxiety, lemme through" I walk past her, "Diane?" I walk in further, seeing her sitting on a sink as the other two was trying to calm my best friend. But one of them had on a different uniform, Prescott. She had long thick braided pigtails, a made body, and looked Latina of some sort, she had a nice facial shape and full lips. Wait, isn't that Margarette?! The girl from instagram, oh my gosh, its her! Travis' ex!! "I got her.  Diane, look at me!" I grab her shoulders, "Diane, will you get a grip for once?!" I slightly yell, she stopped, looking at me, "I-I don't want to play at all Mel."

 "Diane, you beat the enemy, now claim your land, you are better than this Diane. Show them that you aren't just a shy girl. Show 'em what they have been missin' out on, show that body off girl!" she laughs. 

Diane had a bad body for someone her size, but she keeps it covered up all the time.  She has no idea she's just the right size! I helped her clean up, and fix up her face, even helped stopped her nose bleed.

"Ready?" I ask her, she nods, smiling, showing off her dimples. "Lets go finish this week off, I'm getting hungry" I walk out with the rest of the girls making them laugh a little, "Melanie, do you think they'll let her play?" "She's the captain they sh-" "Diane Moore?" Mrs. Harrison bust through the doors, then seen us, "I had it under control, mom, will they let her play?" "Yes, but she needs to go quick! They're about to start the game with out her! I had to help out with the game."

 "Go on Diane!" I slap her back gently, she  jogs ahead of me, going into the gym as the other players followed behind. I walk with my mom into the gym,  "What in the world happened out there?!" "Mom, I'll explain it to you later, let's just say, she stood up for herself and took the crown." I smile.

I went back up on the bleachers and sat beside Travis. The cheers from everyone roared and filled the gym as Diane jogged to her spot and the other players. 

The game started, and everyone fell silent, noticing the ball was tossed to Diane, she was the one to serve, "Do you think she can get it over the net?" Travis says quietly, "Yes." I reply, Diane was the shortest one on the team, besides another girl who was about the same height as her.

Diane tossed the ball in the air, as her feet leaped from the floor  and smacked it the ball hard. Everyone clapped as she instantly hit an ace! "THAT'S MY GIRL!!" I yell with everyone else. I could see the smile on Diane's face, as the ball was rolled to her, and she bounced the ball a bit. She served again and it went over the net, then the play started. 

"Your ex was comforting her" I elbow Travis, "Really?"

 "Yep. D had a complete break down! I felt bad for her, but hey she's stronger than ya think huh?" I look over at Travis, I noticed how his eyes were glued to Diane the whole time. I look back at the game, so far now, we were winning, but Prescott was getting close. 

At the last part, Prescott was winning, but we needed three more points. Margarette served, and slammed the ball on the floor, nearly hitting Diane. Another point, Diane was front in middle, and we served. Prescott was getting us-almost all the way, one of the Prescott players hit the ball up, it was a tricky one since it just flipped over the net. 

Diane leaped up and hit the ball vertically down and we automatically won. Our school stood up, cheering and shouting. The whistle blown, ending the game. Our team went together and picked up Diane, like a champ, carrying her around cheering, that was one of the few times I seen her laugh and smile-actually being happy for once.

Ah yes much action in this one! Another fact about this book:  Travis' ex was originally Diane's archenemy.
