We sit in purposeful silence for the next few minutes, she knows I'm not really mad but I like to wind her up all the same. She knew I'd forgive her within ten minutes.

"Are you blind?!"

Bells and I both look up at that, one of the guys on Damien's team was on the floor glaring up at one of the guys on Low's team, Benji i think.

"Sorry, it was an accident..." He shrugs at the guy on the floor.. is it Alex?

"I dont care you lobbed the ball at my head!" He stood up and nearly falls backwards again.

"Okay okay lads, it was an accident. What matters is, you cant stand up Alex. Which means you cant play." Low helped him up and instructed him to sit on the bench or just some where less accident prone. He slumps over to the patch of grass next to us.

"We need another player. We cant drop someone form your team, it wont work." Damien was arguing with Low.

"I know that man, but whos gonna replace Alex huh?" Even from here I was could see Low, anxious for them to forfeit. 

Damien shrugs and then suddenly looks over at me. I widen my eyes at him.

"Romy, you can play ball right?" he starts walking over. Low looked over at me too, and some of the others.

"Uh, I guess..." I glanced at Bells, who was nodding at me to go. 

"You're good at it." She said reasuringly. I was good, I'd been on the local team for years, but boys were so intimadating and plain irritating when it came to sport. 

Damien reaches me and leant against the swing.

"Well, I can play, but..."

"but what?" He was looking right at me.

"Come on Romy!" Low yelled over at me, I looked around Damien and frowned at him.He frowned back and looked at me, as though encoruaging me to say no. Which of course, I couldnt could satisfaction to. I stand up.

"Sure, I can play." I re-tie my hair and follow Damien back over. 

"Great, you're marking Pete..." He said nodding towards a blonde. He was only just taller than me, which helps. 

Damien went over to his position and I stood next to Pete, suddenly feeling petrified, and glad of my sporting outfit choice of shorts and converse.

"Ready?" Low asked, looking mainly at me, I give him a breif nod and suddenly he passes the ball to someone and the game had starts. For the first few minutes the ball was no where near me, or Pete for that matter. We both stood there sighing, since we were doing nothing.

"Fun huh?" He asked smiling flatly.

"Most exciting thing I've done all year." He chuckles at that.

"Pete!" Low suddenly belows and throws the ball for him to catch. I react instantly and jump up, I had the ball. I stood dumb struck for a moment, before I realise what I was doing.

"Nice Romy!" I look up at Damien, and throw him the ball.

I dart under Petes arm and got into a postion where Damien could see me.

"Damien, back!" He looks up and tosses it to me. I suddenly realised I was in the D, (Shooting area.) I looked up at the net, and before Pete can reach me  I made a shot. Very slow mo High School Musical. It neatly slid through the net. 

"YES ROMY! " Damien runs over and spun me around, it was time on th game, we'd won. I smiled down at him, still in mid air. 

"WOOOH!" The other guys came over and started high fiving me. Damien lowers me down, and I suddenly can't not notice his hands still on my waist. Low 's piercing wolf whistle breaks the cheers, drawing all attention to Damien and I, his hands drop. 

"Woah, dont let me interupt !" I roll my eyes, hearing damien groan.

"What? Oh come on Romy... he clearly likes you." Low wiggles his eyebrows at us, honestly the cockiest guy I know. I shuffle on the spot. Damien gives him a hard stare.

"Hey! What are you glaring at me for, you do!" 

I glance at Damien, his face was shifting to red. I couldn't tell if he was blushing or if he was mad. I went with the second one.

"Low. He doesn't, leave off." I insist. 

He smirked at me and then moved out the way as Bells interjects, pushing past him. 

"So...Romy. We need to go now." Shes gesturing at me to follow and I let her pull me through the crowd of boys 'oooowing' at us.

I hear Damien yelling and swearing at Low but we keep walking.

"DAMIEN, YOU  CLEARLY LIKE HER."

"SO WHAT IF I DO? IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, AND SHE WONT LIKE ME BACK NOW WILL SHE?!"

I pause and turn around. Damien and Low were in stand off position and the guys around them were laughing and chanting at them.

"Romy? Come on!" Bells was hovering outside the gate. I looked over at damien, his fists were clenched, he looked ready to punch Low, and to be honest I wanted him too. He seemed to sense my stare, he caught my gaze, his face calmed slightly, and he unclenched his fists. I nod at him and jog after Bells.
