The reflections on the windows that I passed pointed out my slight head bobbing as I walked through the neighborhood. The lyrics of the song filled my ears before the heated shouts and arguing slipped in. Sliding my headphones down to my neck, I quickened my pace and turned around the corner of the white brick walls. Upon placing my foot on the pavement, a rush of anxiety and regret coursed through my veins.
Shit. After game dispute...
The Raptors and Hyenas were up against each other, the raised voices and tense atmosphere adding up to their anger. I took cover behind the wall, my head poking as my eyes scanned the wilding crowd. My brain stopped when I saw that pretty boy in between, jaw hardened. He was shooting a death stare towards the Hyenas' captain, barely holding himself back. A ghost of a smile made its way on to my lips.
Not gonna lie, he's kinda hot. Oh my- FOCUS Y/N!
I watched on with my cheeks burning as the situation got worse. In a blink of an eye, a full on fight broke out between the two rugby teams. My heart raced faster and faster as hands flew everywhere, the guys throwing kicks and punches at each other. My pupils were shaking as my heart forced me to look out for the pretty boy that made my heart flutter.
There he is
He was up against his rival, the Hyenas' team captain and was at the top of his game. He moved swiftly with such grace, it was astonishing that he was even fighting. My mind focused only on him as his moves slowed down, etching themselves to mind like in those movies. I held my bated breath as I observed his every move, afraid and worried he might get hurt. Unfortunately, my anxiety came true. A fist landed on his jaw and he staggered backwards as my heart skipped a beat. The Hyenas' captain took this opportunity and pretty boy to the ground and prepared to gang up on him. A sudden, unexplained rush of anger unleashed within me as I threw my bag to the ground and marched towards the scrambling guy. I came out from my hiding spot, right hand aimed at the captain and moved my hand towards the right. He rose up accordingly, a few feet above the ground and floated to the right in one movement. this created a distraction as the fight paused, him and the other trying to figure out what was happening. I left him hanging there and rushed over to Vernon who was sitting on the ground, one hand down on the floor for support and the other on his jaw. I stood near him and knelt down, eyes on the little trace of crimson blood trickling from his rosy lips. My anger metre replenished itself as I huffed in frustration with my teeth clenched tightly together.
"Are you okay?" I muttered out to him before I saw his eyes widen, focused on something behind me. Getting the hint, I turned around to see a Hyena swinging his helmet at me. I looked down before stretching my leg out due to reflex, kicking at his ankle. He fell flat to the ground, right beside pretty boy. Another made an unwise and started running towards me. I scoffed and held him there, him running on air before he realised the situation. With three men down, the rest of them backed away as I returned to where pretty boy was sitting. The ground was empty there, as confusion wrecked my brain. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see him, smiling and looking down at me. His hand was stretched out towards me, a warm and welcoming feeling that he was intoxicating me with. I looked down at his hand and smirked before a pressing a tissue in his hand and signalling for him to wipe his mouth. I left there and then, leaving him shocked to go and pick up my bag. before I could reach it, another hand grabbed it. I sighed and looked at pretty boy, my bag pressed close to his chest making my heart flutter once again. He stretched his hand out again.
"Han," I said before taking his hand.
"You can call me Vernon... and thanks, for just now'"
"It's nothing and by the way, what happened just now stays in this place, okay? I mean you can let the cat out of the bag if you want me out of your life..."
"Why would I?"
My brain stopped working for a moment once I heard those words. My heart beats resounded in my ears and blood rushed to my cheeks, my eyes blankly focused on the beauty in front of me.
"What-What do you mean?"
"That I want to get to know you more?"
"Huh?"
"I am asking you out, Han. Will you go out with me?"
