Mark POV
the next day, i went to school very sleepy because my mom practically dragged me out of my bed and forced me to take a bath. i didn't get enough sleep though because last night, there was a special event at Talisman of Courage and i have to get the item. i slept at 1 a.m. just because of the event. lucky for me, today was the day where the students in the school pick their clubs and i get to have some sleep (i dont like clubs though). as i was going to my classroom to sleep on my table, i saw christine enlisting for a club. i don't really care about clubs but she likes them though. well, even if i want to join, i don't want people to see me like this so, i'll just sleep. "good night, world" , i thought, before going to sleep.
Christine's POV
"i don't see him", i thought. "where could that shadow be?" "christine, what's wrong?", lexie asked. " i don't see where the shadow is, lex", i answered her, looking for that shadow. "you like him, don't you?" lexie said. " what? no! obviously not", i said to her. "if that's the case, then why are you finding him, hmm?" lexie asked, looking at me suspiciously. "umm, well, i was kind of curious on how he lives his life?" i answered.
"well, just go and get to know the person."
"i won't, but i got an idea."
"what is it now? you know i don't like your ideas."
"but this one is good."
"ok, let me hear it."
"stalk him."
"what?!"
"stalk him, you live near him, right?"
"well, i do."
"it's settled then, you will stalk him", i said while smiling at her. "i won't do it", lexie answered. "oh come on lex, do it for me?" i asked, holding her hands and doing my pleading face. "oh, alright", she answered, "i'll do it." "thank you lex", i said. after that, i enlisted for the drama club and quickly headed for my classroom. when i came there, i saw the shadow sleeping on his own table. "aww, he looks cute while sleeping though", i thought. after that, i got my things and went to the gym because kyle and his teammates are having an exhibition match against the sister school's team. when i reached the place, the game started. the ball went to our school's team and was quickly passed to kyle. when he got the ball, he shot it from the three-point line and it went in without a problem. the crowd quickly went wild. along the game, i was so astonished by how cool he looked while playing in the court. he brought the team well, resulting in their victory. after the game, the coaches of each school announced their captains, and kyle was chosen as captain for our school's team. i was very happy. but then, something struck my head. "how can he even possibly like me?", i thought. when that thought sunk in me, i somehow felt a little bit sad. why? because he's the school's jock while i'm just a girl who can solve some academic problems. he will never like me.
