I like you??
Valerie was staring at the words written on the wrapper, didn't know how to react to the possible confession. She then looked back again on the court and saw Hiro scratching his head because he missed a three point shoot. 'Was that a confession?' She asked to herself.
'No way, right?' She stared at Hiro. 'Yeah, there's no way. Hiro was never the type of guy that confesses to girls, he is always the one who is confessed on. I bet the chocolate was given by one of the girls who liked him.' Valerie assured herself.
She stood up and walked to the trashcan, when she threw the wrapper a thought came to her mind. 'But what if that was really a confession?' the thought of Hiro liking her scared her so much. Her friend, Stella likes him for she don't know how long. 'She's been talking non-stop about him everytime our topic turns into guys.'
"Ugh... That damn Hiro!"
"Achoo!" Hiro sneezed. "Hey! Hiro, are you alright? You've been out of focus in the game." One of Hiro's teammates said. "Why don't you rest in the bench for a while. You look kinda red." Zeke came closer to him tapped him in the back. Hiro just nodded and went to the bench. He hanged his head low so that no one could see his happy expression. He's heart was beating very fast ever since he stepped inside the classroom where she was in.
He smiled. 'I never expected that confessing was this exciting. I should have done this sooner.' Her innocent face printed on his mind.
When he calmed his beating heart down. He raised his head and noticed the piercing gaze of the people.
"I hope he's alright." A girl whispered to Stella's ears as they started at Hiro on the bench. 'He is usually not like this.' Stella thought.
Someone suddenly squealed at the back of Stella's seat, her head then turned around and saw the girls at the back smiling brightly at her direction. She was confused on why they are smiling like a love sick fools and then the girl beside her nudge her waist and whispered "He's coming closer." Stella's back straighten when the girl said that. 'Hiro's coming hear? Ohgosh! I don't know if I look good though!' Stella panicked inside of her head. 'Ok! calm down we practiced this many time in front of the mirror. Our hardwork will finally pay off. Let's show him the-pretty-Stella-Slowmo-hairflip' She counted up to three and turned around as if theres a fan in front of her aiding her hair to have a slowmo fly.
But Stella was disappointed when she saw the wide eyed Zeke looking at her. When He saw her frowned, he then shoot her a very charming smile that made the girls squealed, except Stella. "Stella! Can I have water?" Zeke said to her with a smile. He reached out his hands to Stella, waiting for her to give him the water.
Stella arched her brows and gave him a fake smile. "Ah, I've already drank some of the water. There are other girls who are willing to give you their water." She said and as if a cue all the girls went on an uproar.
"Here Zeke! You can have my water bottle!"
"Zeke! I have lots of body fluids in my body you can have it all!"
But Zeke ignored the uproar made by the girls and is only focused on ine person. He's hands are still in front of Stella waiting for her to give him the water bottle. When she noticed that Zeke is still staring at her, she mouthed the letters N and O to him. When Zeke was about to say something he's teammates called him.
He gave Stella another glace before turning back to face his teammates. 'I don't give up that easily Stella.' He said in his mind.
"Why are they even playing today?" Stella asked the girl besides her, that is named Aira. "I heard they're going to have a friendly game with the St. Gabriel University team." Aira said, her eyes on the court. "Friendly game... and here they are practicing. What a competitive bastards." Stella smirked, she glaced on Hiro who is now busy wiping his sweat her eyes then moved to Zeke who is dribbling the ball and having a very serious face.
Back in the building, Valerie was bored watching the game because she was not really a fan of basketball she was just there to watch Zeke play. She decided to go to the nurse office since there's no class because the teachers are having a meeting. 'Might as well get a nap.'
When she opened the door she was greeted by the school nurse giving her adviser a kiss. "Ohmygahd!" Nurse Debbie exclaimed. "It's not what you think!" She continued, she gave Teacher Yan a loud smack on the arm. "Ouch! You were the one who gave me a kiss!" Teacher Yan said.
"Uhhhhhmmm..." Valerie just stood there. She cleared her throat and found the courage to say something in the middle of the heated lover's quarrel. "My head hurts... Umm... Can I take a nap here?" She asked.
"Yeah... s-sure." The nurse said and Valerie then went straight to one of the clinics bed and closed the curtains. 'I have always knew there was something going on with those two." She thought and closed her eyes.
After sometime, a loud bang was heard inside the clinic that made Valerie open her eyes. She stood up and was about to open the curtains when she remembered about the nurse and her adviser. She hesitated on opening the curtains when she suddenly heard a familiar voices.
"Stay still, would you stop moving. You'll fall if you keep on moving like that." The first voice was a deep voice of a man who is annoyed.
"Where in the clinic so you can pit me down now!" While the other voice was a woman, her voice was also very annoyed.
"Don't be hard headed and listen to me will you." The man talked again but with a calm voice.
Valerie opened the curtains and saw Zeke carrying Stella in bride style.
Stella looked at her, her head bleeding. "Valerie?!"
