Perfect Love (TayNew)

22. Bet Again

*New POV*

"Where's Earth?" I asked Gun when we were in class.

"He's practicing at the pool now since the fest is about to start." Gun said and I was relieved a bit since I thought it was because of me that he didn't attend class.

"Practice?" I asked confused.

"All the sports club members are given permission to practice for the upcoming sports fest." Gun said.

"Then where are Tay and Off?" I asked.

"Ohh... You didn't know? They are in the sports club too." Gun said.

"Which one?" 

"They are both in the basketball club." Gun said.

"Then Pluem is in the sports club practice too?" I asked Gun since I didn't see Pluem when the classes started.

"Yeah... Didn't he say anything?" Gun asked.

"He told me he's in the volleyball club with his friends but he didn't say anything about practice."  I said.

"Shall we go and see everyone's practice after lunch?" Gun continued.

"We can see their practice?" I asked.

"Of course." 

After completing our lunch we both went to the swimming club first to see their practice and there were many people cheering for them and I was shocked to see Earth also practicing very hard with his teammates but I was stuck with the thought that... if Earth isn't going to participate in the fest why is he practicing so much?

"I hope their practice pays off." Gun said cheering for them.

"Yeah." I said looking at Earth swimming in the pool.

Then we went to the basketball club to cheer for Tay and Off and the stadium was full of students cheering for them. I was just looking at their practice when mine and Tay's eyes met and he smirked looking at me. Then he dribbled with the ball and threw it in the basket with style.

"They are doing great... Maybe they will win this time." Gun said clapping his hands.

"Show off..." I said irritated.

"What did you say?" Gun asked since he didn't hear due to all the noise.

"Who cares if he wins or not?" I said shouting a bit to him due to all the cheering.

"I only came here since you wanted to see Off." I continued.

"Hey, I never said I wanted to see Off..." Gun said embarrassed.

"Hey, New... Did you hear what I said?" Gun continued.

"Okay, okay... Let's go and look at Pluem's practice." I said and Gun nodded.

Pluem and his friends were doing great in the volleyball stadium and we saw their practice for some time and left for class.

Everyone was busy with their sports club and my teaching Tay was postponed for now since he was busy too. I had some time before my part-time so I went to the swimming pool to look for Earth. I found him swimming in the pool so I changed my clothes into swimming trunks and joined the pool. I went near him and swam to compete with him. We were nearly equally matched and we stopped after some time. Earth sat near the corner of the pool and I followed him.

"You are very good so why won't you join the swimming club?" Earth asked me passing a spare towel.

"I don't have time for it." I said rubbing the towel on my hair.
