he put his arms around my shoulders and turned his head, his lips almost touching my cheeks. He softly whishpered in my ears with his husky manly voice.
"Your name 'Angel'?"
"please, please, calm down you stupid heart, breathe, breathe, breathe...."
I kept fighting internally the butterflies in my stomach were in no mood to stop exploding. The situation too alien for my naiveness, no wonder why I was always an outcast.
"Attention everyone, Angel, here will be the representative from your club for this project!"
Then he turned, asked for my phone and indicated with his hands to call me.
"No, no, I..I"
I mumbeled
"You'll soon get a knack for it. What's done cannot be undone. I'm late, bye!"
Still bewildered I stood frozen.
"Ehm. Em...Angel..."
Ara chuckled and pointed towards my painting.
"Tell me, girl, right everything from the start.
Oh My!
The one and only 'The cruel Prince' called you Angel.
Wow! Girl you really are something!
But let me warn you, he is known for his legacy of jilting girl's heart who had been close to him.
So to prevent your heart from breaking, let me choose a better option...
who? who? think think think.
Oh yes! Kim, he's just perfect for you.
Okay. now i, Ara, officially announce that I will relentlessly ship for Kim and Sarine."
Everything now made complete sense, I had painted an angel but that doesn't necessarily mean that me painting a watch would mean that I'm necessarily called a watch. So i paid little attention to what Ara had to say.
"Oh! No, we are late, Ara. The basketball court."
"Ara the Cupid on duty, Miss."
"Oh! Please! we're just okay, nothing more.
Now I really want you to wake as we're getting late, let's go."
"Yeah, yeah, just friends. Supporting him as a friend on his invitation who is also a girl!"
"Ara I promise it is as impossible as me flying, seriously let's go my dear 'girl' friend."
"Ah! I see now you're trying to outwit me in defending your cause...
Yes! why are we still here let's go cheer for your future."
I finally gave up and decided to remain silent for I knew it was an impossible argument and was going nowhere.
The court was filled by the time we entered but having Ara with me, we managed a space for ourselves in the front row with the best view. The game was a success, our college had won by a great margin and the cheers were heard from the other corner of the world. I'm confident that on being asked they would reply that they were here for the boys and not the game itself. Although it's just the first day the girls have already built teams to support their ideal male, so was the case here. Our batch most wanted bachelor was here and so were their immense beloved cheering for them, the two teams namely, "Kim's Princess" and " The Cruel Prince's Princesses".
"Look, what we've got here, my personal booster."
Kim told with great enthusiasm, his blue jersey soaked in sweat, with glittery eyes and perfecting his already cool looks with a killer smile. Walking behind him was Brin with his composure despite the tiring gameplay, his eyes maybe fixed to mine with emotions I couldn't decipher..
"Meet Brine my brother from another mom.
Brine, meet Sarine and Ara.'
I handed them each a bottle of water in the process and Brin with his confident aura said,
"Angel is fine too, right? Angel!"
"Woah! she's just Sarine, my dear Sarine, our Sarine."
Kim answered in the most flirtatious manner.
"Whatever, let's get going for we'll be late."
Brin answered.
"Being late is never an option for you, even if the world was ending.
See you later girls and don't forget to miss me."
Saying this Brin and Kim left.
I knew this would happen we could not escape the wrath of both the princess, sensing the danger we tried to rush out. But unfortunately we were surrounded on all sides, hungry eyes preying to knock us down and mercilessly suck the life out of us. The only thing we could do was to act normal with all the strength we could master despite our fears. The mob then made way for two tall, gorgeous and well dressed girls in pink, I'm assuming their president with balls and bucket in their hands.
Ara and I started to internally prepare for the worst while also trying to maintain a calm composure.
They both now stood in front of us and gave a killer smile as if on cue to start their mission.
