Whispers Of Magic

Later that Evening>>

I got dressed up, hoping to look good.

I don't use anything on my face as such, but I find Tri using a lot of makeup. I don't mind that, but I am certain I will not use makeup. I just applied a pinkish ChapStick, and some kohl and I am ready to get going.

The rest of them dressed up too so I wasn't feeling embarrassed about my attire. Soon enough we were out walking towards the entrance of the grounds. The grounds were full of students and other people cheering for the match. I was surprised that it's such a huge thing. And I felt glad that I decided to dress up after all. I see Tri walking off and don't mind that as I had the rest of them.

I hand them their passes as we enter the premises and I find Alex waiting and I see him walking towards us.

Suddenly I was becoming conscious of myself again. OH GOD NO NO NO, NOT AGAIN.

I suddenly felt a hand around me and I looked up and found Kia assuring me its okay to feel that and not be weird about it. I felt myself calming down a bit. But uh oh!

"Hey ladies."

"Hi Alex." We all somehow synced at our greetings, and we end up laughing a bit.

And Alex laughed along. "If I could borrow your friend Sweha, I'd be glad."

His sudden politeness made me flush and just before I could gather myself to say anything. I hear Lana saying, "Yes, sure. But make sure to drop her by where were sitting. Shes new don't forget that."

I couldn't help but smile and think how bossy and concerned Lana is! I just nodded and walked up to Alex, and he just walked with me. I have no idea where were heading but I don't feel uncomfortable, as I know I am with him. "Hi, how are you feeling about the game?" I asked.

"I'm feeling fine but seems like you're tensed about it." He teased.

"Oh c'mon, I am just overwhelmed by the amount of people here. I am the least bit tensed. I know how well you guys play; I have seen you all on the field before." I came back with a convincing reply.

"So much faith, fan girl? I'm flattered." He teased again.

God he's good at it. I don't know how long I'll be able to hold up with my neutral face and come back responses.

"Don't flatter yourself. I am not just talking about you; I'm praising the entire group. And I am certain you feel the same about your group."

"Ouch."

I rolled my eyes at him. And he laughed and grabbed my hand.

OH, SHIT HE JUST GRABBED MY HAND. CRAP. Act calm, don't react. Breathe girl.

"I am grateful you came. I will make sure to make us proud."

I couldn't help but give him an assuring smile and I wished him, "You will do great. All the best, Alex."

WHY IS HE STILL HOLDING MY HAND? GODS. SHIT. I FEEL SO. My thoughts are interrupted by him; "Thanks, Sweha. It means a lot to me. Can I get a good luck hug?" he asked sweetly.

SHIT.

I smiled and he hugged me right there. SHIT. In front of the fucking crowd, he's hugging me. I feel so; I don't even know what am I feeling, what the fuck is wrong with me?

And why the hell am I cussing so much. Breathe girl. OH shit, I just got his smell. The fuck, what if he thinks I sniffed.

I am so screwed. I just left his embrace, and he smiled as if he is relieved to get a hug. His shoulders relaxed and he grabs my hand again and walks me through the crowd towards the girls.
