After a difficult basketball match, TJ finds comfort in an unexpected place, which makes him realise what he really feels. Told from a single POV.
TJ POV
I had never been so furious, that basketball game was the worst. I wasn't angry at my team, or the game, but more myself. What made me feel worse was that I didn't feel like there was anyone I could talk to.
I walked over to where my friends were, but wasn't really sure what to say. I had never liked speaking to them about feelings, because they made me feel awkward. It wouldn't be so bad if one of them wasn't in a relationship. Cyrus was with Jonah, Andi had Amber and Buffy was dating Marty.
Cyrus: So, tough game?
Me: You could say that.
Jonah: There's always next time.
Me: That's what everyone says.
Amber: Well it's true, lighten up a bit.
Andi: You shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself.
Marty: You do a good job anyway.
Buffy: Let's face it, at the end of the day it's just a game.
I was quite hurt by Buffy's comment. I know she didn't mean it in a bad way, but it's more than just a game to me.
Me: Maybe one day, you'll understand exactly how I feel at this point in time.
Taking the moral high ground, I walked away from them and tried to clear my mind. I noticed that Walker was standing at the entrance to the basketball court, and I don't know why, but I felt like I should talk to him.
Walker: You okay? You seem upset about something.
Me: Can I maybe, talk to you?
Walker: Of course you can, what's on your mind?
Me: I feel like whatever I do, I always screw up during every game.
Walker: From what I hear, you're our best player.
Me: Who says that?
Walker: Everyone in the school mentions how great you are.
Me: How come I never hear them?
Walker: Perhaps because you never listen.
For no obvious reason, I found myself laughing at his last comment. He does have a point, I very rarely listen to anyone.
Me: I'm glad that I could talk to you about this.
Walker: I'm happy that you feel that way.
I couldn't help but stare at Walker's face, and admire just how adorable he was. He smiled at me, which made my heart skip a couple of beats. I couldn't figure out what was happening, why was my heart doing this?
Walker: Admiring the view are you?
Me: N-no, I was just thinking.
Walker: About what?
Me: It's nothing really.
The expression on his face let me know that he was aware that I was lying. I didn't care though, it was for me to work out what I was feeling.
Walker: Are you sure about that? You look a little flustered to me.
Me: I can't help it if you're cute!
My cheeks went so red after saying that. I didn't feel as if I had any control over what I was saying anymore.
Walker: You think I'm cute?
Me: Y-yes. Is that b-bad?
Walker: No way! I think you're the hottest guy here!
I felt myself becoming more and more comfortable, but at the same time I felt a little confused about what was happening.
Me: What does this mean?
Walker: I hope it means you're going to ask me out.
Me: Would you like to go out?
Walker: Damn right I would!
Me: Cool!
I was so excited about what was happening. After everything bad that had occurred during the game, I ended the day with a boyfriend.
