But, when she looked away from the noisy crowd, she finally had a chance to escape from the noisy place. She hugged her best friend a goodbye, grabbed her pink backpack from the side and walked towards the exit. She tried to cover her face with her long, brown hair.
But, ten seconds left and the past quarter would have been over. It was a game between Derek Academy and Galileo Academy. The two schools competed in almost everything: games, education, arts and crafts competitions and others.
Kiran Kareem dribbled the ball upon catching it. He moved sideways to avoid and distracted the opponent when he accidentally stuck with the young girl who stood up and tried running away.
"10 seconds."
"9 seconds."
The crowd of blue (Derek Academy) stopped for a moment and was confused about his sudden break.
"Huh? Why did he stop shooting the ball?" Spoke the young girl behind Raelynn Lyla.
She then looked back and their eyes met for a while. For a second, she was mesmerized , stood at the right corner of the school's ground. Her feet could not move, her heart was racing like a cheetah in a Spanish arena. And suddenly, every noise in the ground went silent in Raelynn Lyla's world. It was like her and Kiran Kareem were all alone in a white world.
"3 seconds."
Raelynn Lyla's eyes widened as she heard the time that had been left. His teammates had been standing too, very confused indeed. They whispered amongst themselves why Kiran Kareem was not shooting the ball and the time was diminishing.
Raelynn Lyla thought to herself that if Kiran Kareem would shoot the ball, his team would surely win the game. She mustered up her courage and confidence. She had to do something about that situation.
"Throw the ball! Kiran Kareem!" Raelynn Lyla shouted at the top of her lungs and that caught everyone's attention and they all titled their heads and looked at her. She was the only one standing in the whole school's ground. It was beyond their expectation and so far for her too.
"2 seconds."
Kiran Kareem gave her an assuring smile as be quickly turned his head and looked into the opponent. His stepped his right foot forward, distracted the opponent.
Stood on the right side of the court, Kiran Kareem was cornered by the opponent. They tried to ruin the chance of winning of Derek Academy but he was skillful and a varsity player.
"This is for you, Raelynn Lyla!' Staying in his position was the best thing to do. If he would have shot, the opponents would have leaped high and snatched the ball.
"Back off! Weaklings!" He howled loudly and abruptly threw the ball into the air.
"1 second left!"
Raelynn Lyla held her breath and watched the ball fly into the air, the whole crowd went silent as they watched the ball and followed it with their eyes. One team hoped to win while the other wished for the other one to loose. Raelynn Lyla closed her eyes as the whole crowd remained silent and eyed at the scoring until...
"Waaaah!"
"Waaaah!"
The crowd cheered as he nailed the last throw.
