I was entering the school today with a wide smile on my face because today it was finally the match day I was waiting for. I entered the class and Aron was already ready to go for the match practice. As soon as I reached to my seat his eyes met mine and he was really happy today like never before. He was a lot tensed last night though about the match but I motivated him as much as I could.
Hey baby, I actually couldn't stay with you today in the class as you know about the match so they are calling for the final practice. So all I wanted to say that stay safe okay and I will wait for you to come and watch me, he said.
Okay okay calm down babyboy, first of all it's okay and stay tension free. All the best for your match and remember no matter what happens you will still be the best for me, I love you I said and pecked his cheeks after he went out with his friends heading towards the ground.
I then turned to my friends and started with all the fun talks we were missing on. I asked them who are they gonna support today and obviously they all replied with their own house name. Well unfortunately all of my friends are in same house and I am the only odd one out who always has to stay alone in her house. I hate this thing a lot, why it has to be like this.
Whom are you gonna support by the way, Skylar exclaimed.
Well I know you guys must be expecting me to support my own house but no this time I am going to support Aron's, I said.
Well and that's for very obvious reasons, I get it, she said in a sarcastic tone.
Whatever, but you all promise me that you are going to support him as well if in case your house doesn't goes in finals. Okay? I asked in a very low tone as I was already aware of what is going to come next.
NOT AT ALL, Skylar said so loud that everyone started looking at us.
But why? I asked.
Just no and I know my house is only going to be the winner so don't even think so, she said
and Amy joined her in that. They both started speaking as if their house is the best around here and they already know the winner.
Okay fine, now stop! I said.
In all this Stella was just smiling and having fun with them but she is still the weird person around here for me right now. She is still so confusing for me as she speaks too less and you can't be sure about anything that must be going inside her mind.
We then went on with our class works leaving the argument further for the match time.
After couple of minutes it was finally the match time when the teacher announced us all to come down and head towards the stadium.
Me, Skylar, Amy and Stella went down altogether talking about how much fun we are going to have and the argument was still going on but this time I wasn't participating much in it as by now my eyes started searching for Aron. All of the participants were in ground but where were he? I tried looking for him in the ground and when I turned to look in front I saw Jack coming . That Jerk! I looked away and I could sense him looking my way but I don't care now. I went away from him to take one of the empty seat in the stadium along with my friends. And then the other participants arrived along with them Aron was also there. I felt relived now that he isn't late. I was now looking at him and waiting for him to see me so that I could wave at him and tell that here I am.
Emily, there is your Aron, Skylar said.
Oh yes I just now saw him, I replied.
Me and my friends started cheering as soon as the match began and Aron's team was the first one to compete with the oh,wow my house.
We were half the way to match and then unfortunately Aron's team was beginning to lose. Not denying the fact that he alone couldn't make the team win as his other team members weren't as good. I could see Aron getting so tensed, I was so worried about how he is going to feel if they lose. He is so determined about Cricket and not only that but losing in anything makes him feel so much sad. And I have never been through this phase of his so I am already preparing in my head for making him feel good after the match ends.

Emilyyyy, they lost! Skylar shouted.
Who!? I brought my attention back to the match to see who's leaving the ground.
Oh shit, it's Aron's team only. I need to find him and talk to him right now. I asked Skylar to come with me and after like requesting a lot she finally agreed. We then went back to the school building but I didn't know if he went up in the class or was still down here with his friends. I had no idea at all so I stopped one of his friend Arnold.
Wait up, Aron is calling you upstairs, he said before I could ask him anything.
Okay I am going, I asked Skylar to come with me as well because if any teacher catches me and him alone then there would be so many misunderstandings plus questions asked by them one after another. I saw Arnold walking with us too but he was ahead of us and after I started walking up stairs I was thinking a lot of stuffs in my mind and more than that I was tensed about him. The whole school building was empty as everyone was in the stadium watching match.
Can you not walk so fast, Skylar shouted from back.
I turned back to look at her and she was looking so tired but I still started running as I can't wait to see him. I reached the auditorium hall floor and I saw him standing near the wall through his reflection in the auditorium hall's glass door. All of a sudden my footsteps stopped and I started walking slow then. As I reached and his eyes met mine. He ran and hugged me so hard that I stumbled on my own footsteps. My heart started beating so fast that I could literally feel it beating in my chest and just then I noticed the feel of his heart against mine. He grabbed me and pinned me against the wall. Just then I saw Skylar but I was too lost in this feeling right here with Aron which is so new to me and I was feeling the happiest by now.
Get a room you guys, she shouted so loud and ran upstairs.
He kept one of his hands on the wall and from the other he held my waist. I was looking down as I am feeling so nervous but he held onto my chin and rose my face up to look directly into his eyes. I felt not only the butterflies but the whole zoo inside my stomach. He pressed me more onto him and it was the first time ever that I was so close to him, not even the air passing from between us.
I love you, Aron said breaking the silence between us.
I love you too, I said and closed my eyes when his lips met mine and we did our first kiss.
His lips felt so soft and plummy and I could feel the warmness of his breath brushing on my face. I was breathing so heavily by now and after we were done kissing he asked me to get my bag from the classroom and get down with him before anyone comes up. We then started walking upstairs together.
How you are feeling about the match, I asked.
It was expected after I saw other members performance in it but still after this hug I don't even remember all the disappointments I had, he said.
I just blushed and kept on walking.
You played very well though, I am proud of you, I said.
Thank you baby, he said.
We reached in the classroom smiling and I could see Skylar packing up her bag along with mine. She sensed it that I was feeling too shy to talk about anything right now so we just took our bags and Aron hugged me once again, this time small one.
C'mon let's go, I guess someone's coming up, Arnold shouted from outside the class.
We all hurried up and started running downstairs and after we reached the ground Aron went away with Arnold to his other friends and I went with Skylar and Amy.
Soon after then the winner was announced and we all went our homes back. After I reached back home the first thing I did was to take out my secret diary, opened it's lock with the key and wrote down the date when we first hugged and kissed. I never felt so happy before.
