Finally it was weekend, ted sent the address.she got dressed wearing shorts with a sweater and a white CAN.
she went down ate breakfast and sat down a bit, it was still early. The game won't start till 10. So she played games with her bro for a while and then watched TV.
9:30 she finally left, she got there few minutes before the game would start, the place was packed, she looked around and furrowed her brows. There were mostly females around. She looked around checking if there was any little space where she can squeeze herself in.
Sophia sophia over here.... She turned and saw ted waving with so much enthusiasm, he signaled her to come over, which she bluntly refused. are you crazy why would I come over there, your coach and team mates are there alright. there's no way, I'm coming over.
Ted naturally couldn't understand what she was saying cuz she was waving her hands in different ways, he couldn't grab at all. One thing he understood was that she didn't want to come over.
Sophia looked at the distance and also the crowd, how would she just walk over there like that, a lot of people were already staring at her, because of ted's enthusiastic shouts she didn't like being stared at, so lowered her head, thankfully she wore a face cap which helped to cover her face a bit.
She stood there for a while still looking for an empty seat, then she felt her body being pulled by someone, she frowned and turned her head to met a pair of brown eyes.
Ted pulled her, she struggled to free herself, she was so shy, everyone was looking at her and this guy just didn't care. He finally stopped, she titled her head and saw an empty seat close to his teammates and coach.
She felt like slapping this guy right now, the coach was obviously looking at her weirdly, she thought he was gonna interrogate her or say something but surprisingly he smiled.
You're sophia right, ted reserved this seat for you, even his teammates were friendly to her, it seems ted did something.
The teammates came over. What's up shorty? They quickly took the cap on her head, i love it, One of the guys quickly put it on. Mehn ted your friend is so cute, they all titled their head downwards looking at her, as though she was a new pet.
What! shorty are you kidding me? She scoffed, squirted her eyes and spoke very boldly. I'm not short okay, you guys are just too tall so it doesn't mean I'm short, I'm the perfect height for my age okay. Hmph....she was happy that she expressed herself very well. oh! I need my cap back.
But aren't we all the same age, they said very bluntly.
Sophia:(*_*) her pride was being stepped on right now, she stared daggers at them.
Wow feisty, they were overjoyed as their interest in her grew.
Sophia furrowed her brows she thought that after she gave that warning, they'll treat her with more respect instead, it even worsened the situation.
Ted who was by her side couldn't help but laugh, this girl was really cute, she didn't know what she looked like when she was addressing them. Her voice was so cute, she looked like a baby that was threatening an adult, so the response she got was natural.
It's okay....you guys should leave her alone, ted finally decided to help her out. Okay see you later cutey they smiled as they went back to their bench.
He turned to her, laughing sorry don't mind them, they like you that's why they acted that way.
Hmph.... The first impression is not like I imagined okay. I mean its their first time meeting me, how can they act like we've known ourselves for a while. She looked at the guy that took her cap, from the way things were looking, she had the feeling that she wasn't going to get it back. She sighed and shook her head.. You guys should use that energy and win the game. You guys have to play two teams today right?
Yes, if we win we'll qualify for the semi finals, he quickly put a band on his head. Osu... I'm ready, he turned smiling, he dragged his jacket back slightly and the wind helped it to move In a particular direction.
Tsk..tsk..... To much anime is actually affecting you, she remembered this scene from one of her favorite animes.
Which team are you guys playing against today, she sat down and took out her phone.
The ravens and the eagles.
Boom Sophia's phone almost fell, did you say the eagles?. Yes ted said clearly surprised with her reaction. What's wrong with the eagles.
The eagles are not a small fit, that's, that guys team. She frowned. Which guy ? Ted asked.
P.... before she could finish. Omg it's pj, pj pj.....the ladies screamed. Well you heard them it's PJ's team. He's very good, you guys should do your best if you wanna beat them.
Ted squirted and didn't say anything. After a while, he looked at her do you know him?. Yup and I've seen him play a lot so ... I know he's a good player and also he's their ace.
Well I can't tell you much about his skills cuz he's my..... Well I won't say we are friends, let's just say I'm acquainted with him.
Ted didn't probe further, he waved and went to his team, the match was about to start, it was starting a bit late because the other teams arrived late, due to some incidents.
Ted's team was playing against the ravens first. Sophia was busy analyzing the game. Looking at ted's team, their formation and skills she knew they'd win.
Their defense was strong and their point guard was really good at dribbling, he passed the ball to his teammate who quickly shot it into the net, it turned a little bit but it didn't enter the net.
Rebound! Rebound! The other teammates who were sitting shouted. Ted who was closer didn't let the other team grab the ball. He grabbed the ball and jumped forcefully yanking the ball inside the net.
Ding ~ two points for the falcons, the numbers on the score board changed. Everyone screamed.
Sophia sat and observed ted, that was a really nice dunk, they were really prepared for this match. A lot of girls were screaming his name and taking photos of him, well the guy was fine, very tall and also a good player so it was natural for them to be like that.
She smiled and took photos too, she also videoed the game. The other teammates were also happy that they ruffled Sophia's hair and then hugged each other.
Sophia quickly used her phone to check her hair, it was really scattered. Omg what's with you guys do you know how long it took me to make to make this hair like this. Shish.....
They didn't listen to her at all, because they had the upper hand in the game.
An hour later.....
Fweet.... The whistle sounded and the game was over. The coach and teammates left the bench and ran to the court.
Sophia was busy trying to put her hair in order, she knew it won't be as it was before, but she tried to make it more presentable. Suddenly she felt a strong arm pull her up into an embrace.
Eww.... You're all sweaty keep me down this instant. Ted still turned her around, before keeping her down, the other team mates came over too, they were so happy and ruffled her hair again.
Sophia:(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻, what's it with you guys and my hair.
They sat down to rest and discuss their next battle strategy. The game would start in an hour.
Sophia opened her bag pack and brought out a flask it was transparent and cut lemons were seen inside. She looked around and didn't know how to give it to ted.
Ted, ted she whispered, thankfully he heard her and turned, she sighed in relief and signaled for him to come over. Ted walked up to her and saw what was in her hand.
Emm... I prepared it this morning, show it to your coach first, if he's okay with it you can have it.
Ted smiled and went over to coach, sophia pretended to be doing something else but in reality she propped her ears to listen to the conversation. The coach glanced towards her direction and muttered some words.
Sophia's heart was beating really fast did he say it wasn't good or... Ted quickly came over with a poker face. It's okay sophia said as she tried to collect the flask from him. Ted dogded her hands. What's okay? He asked a bit confused.
I thought your coach said no, because he doesn't know me and.... Nah he's okay with, he said I should thank you.
Then why is your face like that, sophia pointed at him with a frown on her face. Oh! He said I should share it with my teammates, that's why.
Sophia:"...." She rolled her eyes at him, collected the flask and asked him to bring some cups over.
The other teammates quickly surrounded her when they noticed what was going on. I'm interested. Me too, they said one after the other.
The flask was almost empty. Can I have some too? a deep voice was heard and sophia jolted, every one turned to see who said that.
Can I have some sophia? PJ said with a smile. Everyone was surprised as they stared at him. Sophia was still lost....she regained her composure after some minutes.
Su..re she stuttered, he even came with a cup. She quickly poured some for him. Thanks he said with a smile. That smile made her shiver.
Will you stay till the game ends? it's not gonna take time.
What! It's not gonna take time, ted's teammates who were around couldn't help but shout. Who does this guy think he is.
He ignored them and kept his focus on sophia. I want to talk to you after the game do you mind? No I don't see you after the game, sophia was still shocked. He smiled and walked away.
Everyone turned to look at her. Do you know him? That guy sure is arrogant, they said in unison.
Yh I do, he's a good player, that's why he's like that I guess.
Not that you guys aren't good, I mean you guys are good but it's gotten to his head so that's why he's like that...she quickly said as they were all staring at her.
The coach called them, and they all rushed over and went back to their private room to rest. Sophia was thinking about that guy could possibly want to say.
