" uhm , good night ? " i awkwardly say as i rubbed my nape , not really sure of what to say to the boy who did an act of kindness by walking me home.

    
" good morning. " is all he said before he walks off.

    
i deeply sigh. it was a frustrating night. a student from school was in the convenience store when we met & took a picture of us and sent it to the school's spam account.

    
luckily , with some stupid threat i came up with. they deleted it before josh sees it & it would be bad not only for me but also dior since they might be teammates if the new boy would make it into the team.

    
dior offered me to stay at his apartment but i declined since i have no idea what time josh might come home. there's a part of me that wanted to stay & i wouldn't lie about it.

    
the thrilling events that happened in the rooftop , have me butterflies. & now , i'll have to deal with it.

    
deal with how to stop my feelings for dior.

monday , 7 : 53 am

    
mayfair is well-known because of its basketball exposure which makes the coaches have higher standards when choosing their players & i don't even think the coach likes me , he's been glaring at me during the two weeks of tryouts.

    
& this is why students gather around the office's bulletin board , the results of tryouts are posted.

    
" congratulations to us ! " coral cheered ,  pulling gabby , madison , & i into a group hug.

    
i didn't feel the need to look at the bulletin , just by the words of coral , i contently knew i was on the list.

    
being in a team wasn't new for all of us so we didn't jump & squeal like idiots in the middle of the hall. instead , we all headed to our first class.

    
like every monday , gabby & i are together on the first period.

    
" okay , i'm freaking out. tell me what happened ? "

    
" nothing. i just bought something at the store & saw dior. "

    
" then you sat beside him ? "

    
" my legs were tired , y'know. driving ain't my thing. "

    
" yeah yeah whatever you say. i'm starting to ship the two of you. "

    
i looked down , hiding the smile that creeped into my lips when i recall the romantic night we shared together at the rooftop.

    
i've never felt so comfortable with a person ever since bronny was out of my life. it just made me want dior around me more.

madison & i was on our way to math class. there's one thing i forgot to do this morning , check the boy's team.

    
like expected , josh was on the list as the team captain. & as my finger glides down to the point guards , i see dior's name on the first spot.

    
dior is officially josh's teammate.

    
" you seem shock. i mean , even when dior was in sfg he was a great point guard. there's no doubt that he won't be chosen. "

    
i'm not shocked at all. part of me just wished that he doesn't make it into the team. but that would be so selfish of me.

    
we finally arrived at math class. to my surprise , dior was already in his seat. not on his phone anymore but on a paper which he seems to be reading.

    
throughout the period , i didn't talk to him. i don't know what to do next knowing that he's now josh's teammate.

    
i see him glance at me time to time from the side of my eyes but i didn't do anything about it. the only part of me that reacted was my heart who was going crazy.

    
but these feelings really need to stop.

the first training of being a monsoon just ended. & as expected , it was more intense than tryouts. i walked out the locker room , separating ways with the girls since i had to get something from my school locker.

    
i then closed my locker's door but a figure stood beside it which made me froze.

    
dior.

    
" if you're ignoring me , i don't care but i really need to ask when do we continue our math project. "

    
" you decide. "

   
" saturday , same time , at 300. "

    
was all he said before he walked off.

    
300 ? isn't that his apartment.

    
let's just hope we don't go back at the rooftop & do the same things. imma really fall hard for this dude.

[ dior ]

    
i laid in bed , staring at the ceiling as i recall this day's event.

    
i'm finally part of the team & i had my first training as a varsity. that's all of the good part.

    
but on the other side , was jasmine's unexplainable behavior of ignoring me. it felt like nothing happened between us on the rooftop.

    
did that shit make her ignore me ?

   
i badly wanted to hit her dms but right now wouldn't be a good time.

    
but if she continues to ignore me , then i would eventually ignore my feelings for her too.

    
ting !

    
my phone goes off , indicating i have a message.

    
alyssa my 👑

    
i cringed at the contact's name & noted myself to change that later on.

    
: mayfair is a great school. can't wait to be a part of it ! 😚
