Its lunch now. I made a few friends in Literature and sports. I also spoke to the coach about me playing basketball. He said he will watch me play and decide about me being in the team. I haven't met this Scar yet. I met Mike in Chemistry, he asked me to join him for lunch so that's where I am going now. Maybe I will meet Scar there.

I walk in and spot Mike between all these students. Mathew also joins me, and we go to him. "Mike, hey man!" I hear Mathew say as they both to our boy handshake. We had lunch and they started talking about sports and girls. I wasn't interested in it though.

I was thinking about Scar. I looked around trying to spot her. She should have some similarities with Mike right? OK, I may sound like a creep right now but no, it's not that. I just want to see who she is. My friend, Peter in sports also told to watch out for her. Usually, it's the guys and jocks who need to be watched out for, but here its Scar. I don't even know if that's her full name.

"where is your sister?" I ask Mike who looks at me with furrowed brows. "you seem very interested" he says mockingly. "Nah man, I was just curious," I say shrugging. "Curious huh? You wouldn't be once you see her man. One look from her and you will freeze" Mathew says laughing, although he seems serious about what he is saying. Seriously, who is she?

"She doesn't eat lunch with us normal people, she eats whenever she like," Mike says shrugging. I was kind of shocked to hear that from Mike. I mean he is her brother so it was weird to hear it from him.

After lunch, i had a free period, so I decided to go to the coach and ask about when I can show him my game. His cabin is across the basketball court, as I go towards it, my eyes land on someone sitting on the seat near the court.

She had her head resting on the wall behind, her eyes closed. Her hair was red at the ends and pitch black at the top. She wore a grey hoddie similar to mine. She just seemed so calm right now. She had a basketball beside her, so I assumed she plays. Not wanting to disturb her I went to the coach's cabin.

" Coach, When do you want to see my game?" I say to him with a smirk. "Attaboy, I was about to call for you, you seem to have a free class now so why don't we see your game right now," he says getting up from his seat. "but there is no one in the court right now. Who will I play against?" I asked following him.

"what do you mean no one is there. Where did she go? She is here daily with her ball" he asks as we go to the court. As I reach the court with him, I see the same girl with black-red hair, now playing. I see as she goes for a layup and ends with almost a dunk. Damn. That was impressive.

  "Are you sure you're not blind boy? Cant, you see her?" he said looking at me slightly annoyed. "what, you want me to play with her? Come on the coach I cant play with her, what if I hurt her?" I say lifting my hand up. "Boy, first take the ball from her, and then we could talk about you hurting her. And anyway, she isn't on the school team so even if she is injured, she won't mind, it won't be her first" he said shrugging.

As I started to stretch and warm-up, I saw the coach go to her and talk to her. Probably about this. I see her looking at me annoyed. Yup, she is definitely annoyed and has no interest in playing with me.

Coach says something and she rolls her eyes. Wow, she rolled eyes to a teacher. I think Scar would also be like her maybe. I go one and the game starts.

The coach was right, damn, she plays well. It took me almost three-fourths of the time getting the ball from her. And then again she snatched the ball.

Now I am sitting across the court, panting almost, she didn't seem affected at all though. As I was looking at her, she went across the court and out. She didn't even look back towards me. Wow, that's a first!

" so kid, what do you say, did she get hurt?" the coach asked mocking me. "Coach, you said she isn't on the team? But why? She has an awesome game" I asked him confused.

"she's not interested in a team. She plays solo. She's here whenever she had free class and doesn't play with any student. I play with her when I am free too." He says and walks back to his office.
