Unexpected

Someday

"Excuse me, Mrs. Kent. Can I excuse Clark Smith?" December asks.

"Clark Smith." Mrs. Kent shouts, she have legit red hair, with a Mexican Accent, the typical 90's look, and a cheerful vibe surrounding her aura.

Clark bows in front of Mrs. Kent as a sign of respect and looks at Maria and Kevin who are in a salute as he walks out.

"I heard you're up against Lu Shao University."

"Yeah. It's gonna be fun since they are known for their height and also their wingspan. I think their smallest player is 5'10 and tallest is 6'11"

"6'11?! For real?! She could go challenge Anthony Davis one-on-one with that height." Clark says, completely impressed.

"We'll beat them." December says, "I just know it."

"Good luck. I would be watching." Clark says, giving her a smile.

Again, December's heart is pounding so fast that it gives her more adrenaline than her being excited about the game.

"C-can I hold your hand?" December asks

"Yeah." Clark holds out his hand and December grabs it

"Your hands are so small compared to mine." Clark teases

"No it isn't. Your hand is just a bit bigger than mine. What's your height anyway?"

"I think 6'0 or 6'1 and that's 2 years ago. I don't know what's my height now." Clark says, showing December his recorded height way back 2018.

When they reached the gym the place was filled with students from Lu Shao University and only a few students from McArthur University.

Let's say 1/3 of the gym is filled with Lu Shao Students.

"You're late." Coach Berna says, looking at December then down to their hands.
"Are the two of you.......together?"

"Yes."

"No."

"Not yet."

"December."

"What? That's the truth. We're NOT YET together."

"Goodluck on the game, Coach Berna." Clark says, letting go og December's hands.

"Why did you let go?" December asks with a pout on her face.

"You're going to start warm-ups and also other students are looking at you. Don't worry I'll be sitting here behind your bench."

"Why? Don't you like being seen with me?" Decwnebr asks, worried.

"No its not that. They might just get the wrong idea. Don't get me wrong. I like being with you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I'm sure. Now go."

December ran to her teammates and Clark sat behind them.

Coach Berna still eyeing Clark and when their eyes meet she did the I'm-watching-you hand gesture towards Clark making Clark nervous for awhile.

*currently inside Clark's head*

Whay does she mean by we're not yet together? So does she like me? Since when? Why? What the hell?

Are the students still looking at me? I hope not. They're looking at me aren't they? It won't hurt to look..........yup they're still looking at me.

*inside December's head*

He's so cute. Playing with his fingers while blushing. What is he thinking right now to make him blush? Is it me? I hope it's me.

Ugh I just want to hug him and take him home, to my room, where we will be alone.
