"Is there something you wanna say?" It worked! He finally looked at me! According to Google, Flirting Rule No. 1: Make Eye Contact. Throw in casual glances until he notices and hold his gaze.

"Oh, nothing..." I nonchalantly said and gave him a bright smile, brushing my hair a bit to the side. Flirting Rule No. 2: Smile. Since he already knows me, let's skip Rule No. 3: Introduce yourself and move forward to Flirting Rule No. 4: Initiate a Conversation.
"Soo... did you chose dancing as an elective too on your first year?" He gave me a nod and his gaze went back on his keyboard.
"I don't why I chose dancing! But then again I suck at painting!" Aish, this jerk. Trying to make conversation here.
"How about sports? What sport did you join?" I thought he wasn't listening so I was a bit surprised when he answered, "basketball."
"Really? It's my sport too!" He looked up to me again. Flirting Rule No. 5: Keep it light. Let the conversation be chill and playful.
"You? Basketball?" I scoffed, not liking his tone
"I'm the best swingman there is!" I said flipping my hair. That got his full attention as he put his keyboard from his lap to the side and crossed his legs.
"Oh really now?" He looked at me up and down and I was tempted to show him more than what he can currently see but I stopped myself cause I'm just flirting... right now. Seduction phase is not yet on
"Aren't you too short for it?" Heol!
"Yah! I could say the same for you!" I scowled.
"At least I'm a real shooting guard." He shrugged
"What am I, fake?
"You shouldn't be watching too much anime." I dramatically gasped
"Are you dissing my Kuroko?!" I screeched.
"Kuroko no basket? I was thinking more of a Slam Dunk."
"Oh don't you go there!" I pointed at him and for a second there I thought the corner of his lips tugged up a bit.
"Fine! You and me. Court. Now." He just looked blankly at me. What's new?
"Are you scared I'd get in the zone and crush you?" I taunted. He hopped off his bed and squared up to me. I didn't back down and raised my chin up. He was a bit taller than me.
"I'm just doing this so I can show you real basketball." He said looking at me in the eye.
"Bring it on." Okay. I was caught off guard when he raised both of his arms over his head, grabbing the neckline of his shirt and yanking it off over his head. Mama mia!
His hair got a bit disheveled because of it but he just looked hotter. I feel so attacked right now. He turned his back on me and I quickly checked my mouth if I drooled.
"Two for five. I'll wait outside." He walked past me as he put a jersey on and went out. Two games first to score 5? He's that confident he'll win both rounds but I won't let him. I didn't plan having this much excercise but I'm not complaining.
I went out and he looked at me head to foot and wordlessly walked away. Psh. If he thinks this what I'm wearing while playing he's wrong. Who says he's the only one who can strip?
I wore an oversized red sweatshirt which covers my sports bra, paired with sweatpants and sports shoes.
He was the one who borrowed a ball to the school's office as I wait for him at the court. Thankfully, no one's there. I smiled to myself knowing I just crossed all the remaining flirting rules. Body language, skinship (which I'll make sure we'll have a lot), complimenting him and closing the deal. This is typically already a date.
We stood facing each other in the middle of the court, ball on his hand, twirling it on his index finger. Show off.
"Are you ready get a glimpse of reality?" He still has no expression which made it more annoying.
"Are you ready to get beaten by a girl?" I smirked and he rolled his eyes. I grinned and rolled my eyes as well then winked.
"That was not me saying I love you!"
"What? I can't hear the last three words." He huffed and dribbled the ball.
"Let's just get this over with." He passed the ball to me which I swiftly caught.
"We'll just use half court" he positioned himself but I threw the ball back at him and removed my sweatshirt.
"You didn't really think I'd let myself die from the heat would you?" I turned my back on him and smiled widely. Drool you peasant!
I tossed my discarded shirt to the bleachers and turned to jog back towards yoongi. "You done?"
"Nope." I put my hair tie in between my teeth and gathered my hair up into a ponytail.
"Ready." I grinned and stole the ball from him.
He tried to take it back but I truned my back on him, still dribbling the ball. My back pressed against his and I grinned. I loooove basketball. Now if he can just shoot at a different hoop with different ball. I got distracted from my thoughts so he was able to take the ball away from me and did a lay up. He scores.
"That's what you get for watching too much anime. You don't expect to go in the zone even if you that hard." What's the closest expression to blank? Smug and that's what he's wearing right now.
"I was just distracted with your bulge on my butt." I snickered when it was his turn to be caught off guard. HA!
A few minutes later...
We both dropped to the floor panting. His arm served as my pillow but he's too tired to complain.
We played five rounds. He won the first game, I won the second resulting to additional two but we made another tie breaker so we agreed who wins the next round wins with three wins over two.
"How's that for anime?" I panted, turning my head to him.
"Not bad. But I still won." He smirked! He freaking smirked! It was faint, but it was there.
"I think I won something else." I grinned, leaving him confused. I can see it. I can see the old yoongi back.
