I heard mumbling words from behind as the buzzer started. "Oh. my. god. Look at number 14, opponent's side." Halvey squealed as she points at someone who is in a number 14 jersey.
"You traitor! He's not even Ace's teammate! We are here to support Ace.. not to find a handsome but skill less boy." Selka exclaimed while hitting Halvey who is attention locked to that number 14 guy. I turned my head to their direction to see them fighting like cats and dogs. "Halvey honey.. you'll regret if you looked closer." I then lightly tapped her shoulder with concern and maybe a little bit of sarcasm.
She ignored anything that we told her but instead, she took out her phone and started zooming in that "number 14 guy". At first, her face was full of joy and her eyes was shaped in a heart as she zoomed in. He was tall and has bangs to slightly cover his forehead.
Not to be mean.. but he is indeed handsome from a further distance, just.. don't observe too much. It might fade.
"See? your face is already full of regrets." I jokingly said as she turned her red burning head to face me. "Fine then, I never said he was my crush!" she scoffed and kept her phone. Finally.. the game started.
Ace's team, the CAshotz, was first to score three times. It was fine the first 5 minutes I'd say. Until the coach of the other team chose the number 14 guy, and someone who is wearing a number 24 jersey.
He's cute. I thought in my head as I carefully acknowledge his face from afar.
They carried the whole team. Number 14 had 3 assists with 10 points the first he gets in and number 24 had 1 assist and 9 points in the remaining 15 minutes.
10-16
It was time for a timeout and two coaches are now stating for a strategy. I could easily hear Coach Win, the CAshotz coach, already scolding the first five players that played in the first quarter. I mumbled a "geez" and shook my head off. I then turned to the other team and immediately saw number 14 because he was so tall. Of course, Halvey has her eyes stuck in his.
On the other hand, I spotted the number 24 guy. I saw his facial features clearly since he was standing so steady. His hair was fluffy and has dark brown strands. His eyes were a little bit big that it made his face cute and lastly his smile. It may sound cliche but that's how the story went.
*buzzer sounds*
