Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

( THE FOOTBALL MATCH )

"I don't think anyone has seen it, so just follow my lead" Mavis whispered, and Delaney swallowed nothing, revealing more of her collarbones in the process.

"I'll borrow her for a minute, insert her name into the last column, she'll audition last" he said , facing Mrs Gregor.

"This is an official audition Mavis!, If you take her then she's losing her chance!" She shouted.

"Can't you see she's in pains?, I can't stand here and watch my girlfriend audition like this" he replied, and Delaney squeezed up her face immediately.

"It hurts!, My stomach!" She gasped.

"So sorry love, I'll make you feel better" Mavis replied and remained behind her as they started walking out of the place together, taking each step at a time till they left completely.

Dylan left the stage dejectedly, feeling so sad that he didn't get there first.

"I should have been faster" he muttered as he entered the dressing room and slammed the door shut.

****

Mavis got to a restroom with Delaney and let go of her, then she started avoiding his eyes.

"No need to be embarrassed, even my mum menstruates, and it's only normal for mistakes to happen" he said, and she blinked before looking up.

"Stay here ok?" He said and made to go,...

"Here?" She asked, and he looked back.

"Yeah, I'll get you pads and also something more s*xy to wear" he smiled and rushed out.

*

Mavis drove just three minutes away from the school before sighting a ladies shop.

He rushed in and was able to locate the pads shelf quickly. He got two different sets and rushed to the desk to pay.

The girls he met there started staring in admiration, wishing they're his girlfriend.

👥 How romantic!

👥 How I wish my boyfriend can do this for me too!

👥 I want this too!

👥 And he's also handsome!

👥 I wanna marry him!

👥 How caring!

"Can I have your number?" The flirty attendant winked after packing the pads for Mavis.

"As you can see, I just got pads for my girlfriend, so no" he replied and was about to go out..

"Girls crave sweet things during their flow, why don't you get her sweets and chocolates too?" One of the girls and, and he came back instantly to get them.

👥 I love you pretty boy!

👥 How I wish you're mine!

👥 I want you!

👥 Your girlfriend is so lucky!

He got chocolates, sweet, honey biscuits, candies and lollipops, varieties of sweet things.

He payed hastily and rushed out of the shop.

Right beside it is a ladies boutique, he went in instantly and came out with a shopping bag after ten minutes, then he drove back to school.

He took the pads and shopping bag and rushed back to the restroom.

"Love, are you in?" He asked.

"Mavis?" Delaney replied from inside, and he smiled before opening the door slightly.

He pointed in the shopping bag and pads nylon, and he shut the door immediately she took it.

"Be fast, the audition is ending in ten minutes" he said.

"The pad is much" she replied from inside.

"Do you know what I went through while getting them?" He replied.

"What?, Girls were laughing at you?" She replied from inside, laughing slightly.

"Did you just laugh?" He said.

"So sorry sugar" she replied, and he smiled, checking the time.

"Dress up fast" he said.

"Sure" she replied, and he continued waiting for eight more minutes.

When she finally came out, Mavis lost his breath.

The yellow spaghetti gown looked freaking s*xy on her, revealing all her hidden curves and edges, and the black heels made her look taller.

His eyes widened, and his heart started racing madly as she walked to him.

"How do I look?" She asked, turning around.

"F**k" he said senselessly, and she smiled .

"Bye!" She said and started leaving, then he came back to his senses and rushed to pull her back.

He arranged her hair with his fingers before letting her go.

"Go" he said, and she smiled before walking away very fast.

"Gawd" he breathed, following her eventually.

"Delaney Wang!" Her name rang on the judge's mouth, and she stepped into the hall immediately.

Eyes started becoming bigger, and the judges couldn't even write for the first few seconds, she made everyone speechless as she started catwalking like a perfect model, showing off her curves as she did.

She got to the middle and turned around, making her hair flow with the air, then she continued walking.

The judges got back their senses and started giving her points.

It got worse when she got to the stage and started giving killer illegal poses, it was crazy as she did, smiling charmingly at every move she made.

Mavis stood at the backstage, watching proudly.

He got his phone and snapped a picture of her, then he smiled at it before pocketing the phone.

"Where the hell did she get that dress from!" Madelyn fumed in anger.

"Isn't that the new one from your favorite spaghetti brand?, You've not even gotten it" Sydney replied beside her.

"I hate you Delaney!!!" Madelyn screamed and ran out of the backstage.

Mavis was still smiling when the others joined Delaney on stage since she's the last. It's time to announce those who made it to the finals.

He joined them, and Dylan didn't come at all.

"For the guys. Dylan Bills, Mavis Gregor"

"Delaney Wang and Madelyn Stewart for the females"

"How the hell did she make it to the finals when she left the stage and came back with a different dress!, Cancel this audition and schedule another one!, Cancel it I'm not satisfied!" Madelyn shouted.

No one replied her cos everyone were already leaving the hall, so she rushed to Mrs Gregor.

"You have to cancel this!, Cancel it Flora!" She ordered, and Mrs Gregor smiled.

"Gone are the days when i always try hard to earn your love" she said.

"What!"

"I won't bend to your orders anymore, and weather you want it or not, I'm getting married to Zayn next week" Mrs Gregor said again.

"I won't allow that wedding" Madelyn smirked.

"And you even had the guts to call me by my name, where are your manners?, Dylan's d**k took it all away?" She said mockingly and pushed her out of the way before leaving the hall.

"Flora!!!" Madelyn screamed at the top of her voice.

Sydney came in. "Where the hell is Gladys?" She asked.

"You expect me to know?" Madelyn replied angrily and walked out on her.

"She hasn't changed, so rude to everyone, I hate that" Sydney muttered and left too.

DRESSING ROOM**

"I'm so proud of you sweetheart!" Paisley said happily, hugging Delaney so tight immediately they came in.

"I'm proud of myself too" Delaney replied, and Carina stroked her hair.

"Our baby, you made us proud" she said, and Delaney smiled.

"Gosh!, I love you so much Delaney" Melinda pecked her.

"I love you guys more" she replied.

"Delaney!" Gigi rushed in to hug her too.

"I'm so proud of you baby!" She shouted, kissing her hair.

"Thanks baby, though my blood ruined your dress, I promise to buy it" Delaney replied.

"Wait...you actually got stained?, Was that why Mavis did that?" Paisley said loudly, and Delaney nodded.

"I was going crazy as I wondered why, he's so romantic!" Carina gushed.

"Tell me more!" Gigi smiled.

"Can't you just date him?, You can make him stop smoking" Melinda winked.

"Go away y'all" Delaney replied and rolled eyes.

"And I love this spaghetti gown, I'm sure he got it too, one in town, you're the first one to wear it trust me, it's a new design" Paisley said.

"Mavis got it too?" Carina asked.

"Yeah, plus my shoes and pads" Delaney replied.

"Arrggghhhhhh!!!" The girls screamed.

"Mavis I wanna date you!!!" Carina screamed, and they all laughed.

"Gosh, he's caring" Paisley said.

Sydney was hearing everything from where she stood beside her wall locker.

She threw down the lipstick with her and slammed her locker shut before rushing out of the room.

"Someone that has S at the beginning of her name is dying soon" Melinda sang.

"After the stupid S, it's a yucky Y" Paisley sang along.

"After Y comes a dumb D" Carina sang.

"A nonsensical N came after the D" Gigi sang.

By now, they're all jumping as they sang.

"E for eew!, Comes after the N" Paisley added.

"And another yucky Y is the last, scream her name!" Melinda shouted.

"SYDNEY!!!!" They all chorused.

"What should I do with you girls?" Delaney laughed as she opened her locker.

She saw a letter waiting there.

The girls were still singing as she brought it out and read.

★I'M SORRY... FOR EVERYTHING★

She checked her phone immediately, and his message was already there.

★I'M NOT A GOOD RUNNER, I WANTED TO PROTECT YOU BUT MAVIS WAS FASTER.... I'M SO SORRY DELA★

She sighed and changed to her normal dress before leaving the room with the girls.

Dylan was already waiting outside, backing the wall.

He went on his knees in front of her just like yesterday.

"Forgive me, please" he said guiltily.

Delaney avoided his eyes and left him there, walking away.

Dylan stood and kept standing like a fool, finally letting out his tears.

He wiped the tears immediately they fell, and his friends joined him.

"I'm not understanding anymore, why the public apologies on your knees man?" Midas asked.

"Did you do something to apologise for?, Dude" Trevor asked.

"I'll be in the lounge" Dylan replied and climbed the stairs, leaving them there.

"Thought you said you'd find out why" Trevor said.

"Guess I'm not that smart" Midas replied.

"Thankfully you know" Trevor replied, and they both laughed as they climbed the stairs too.

*****

"What's going on between you and Dylan?, Why is he always kneeling in front of you?" Carina asked curiously as the girls got to the park.

"It's personal, stop probing" Paisley replied.

"Oh...sorry" Carina replied, looking at Delaney.

"Hey s*xy love!" Mavis shouted from behind them, coming with the shopping bag containing the goodies.

He handed it to Delaney with a wink.

"Heard girls crave for sweet things during their flow, they're all in there" he said.

"I don't need..

"I won't take it back, so you better take it" Mavis interrupted, and Delaney sighed.

"Fine!" She rolled eyes and he opened his car door.

"Get in, I'll drive you to your jobs" he offered.

"I'll take this to the hostel" Paisley took the goodies from her and she got in the car with Mavis who drove away.

*****

NEXT DAY★MMC**

It's the football match day between the seniors and the Juniors, and the guys started changing into their jerseys immediately they arrived in school.

Juniors are wearing blue while seniors are in green

The cheerleaders started changing into their uniform too. A short white flayed skirt on same colour of pop socks and white shirt, hair in a bun or ponytail.

Leo came out of the class tiredly, and the first person he met was Gladys. Since he got discharged from the hospital last night, he hasn't set eyes on her.

He changed direction immediately, and she ran to him.

"Leo wait!, Leo!"

She held him but he pushed her away from himself, and she fell heavily on the ground, hurting her arm.

"Ouch!, Leo!"

"It's automatically over, they weren't wrong cos I'm really a fool, I'm a blind dumb fool, but it's all over right now, if you come closer I'll bite you" he said coldly and walked away.

Gladys stood slowly, then Madelyn and Sydney joined her.

"Welcome to the world of single girls like us" Sydney said.

"Welcome babe!" Madelyn laughed.

"Whatever, not like I love him" Gladys replied.

"That's the b**ch I know!, Kill em!" Sydney shouted, and they all laughed.

"You should start distributing your invitation cards against tommorow, birthday girl" Gladys said.

"Sure, can't wait to turn twenty!" Madelyn gushed and they laughed again as they left for the stadium.

Paisley came down from the stairs and squinted, she actually saw everything.

"They broke up?" She said to herself, and someone suddenly hugged her from behind.

She smiled prettily, knowing who it is immediately.

"Boiffy" she said, and Lexi kissed her neck before turning her to himself.

"Aww, my baby looks so cute in the cheerleading uniform" he said, and she smiled.

"All dressed to cheer you up, I'll scream your name throughout" she replied.

"I love you" he smiled.

"Same here boiffy" she replied.

He leaned in and pecked her lips.

"I have a gift for you after the match, meet me in the broadcasting room" he said.

"Sure" she replied.

"Let's go to the stadium together" he said and held her hand.

He made an interlock before kissing it, then he pulled her away.

STADIUM***

"Where the hell are the girls?" Carina said, looking around for them as the football was about to start.

"Hey!" Trevor's voice made her look back.

Immediately she saw him in the blue jersey, looking so hot, she turned to leave but he held her.

"Did I do something wrong?, Thought we're friends, why the avoidance?" He said.

She looked him in the eye and her heart started thumping.

"Need to find my team" she said and eventually ran away from him.

"What's up?" Trevor muttered.

"Hey Trevor" Melinda waved in front of him, and he smiled immediately.

"Hey, you're not part of the cheerleading team?" He asked.

"No,I missed the audition" she replied.

"Dude!, The formation is starting!" Midas shouted from the far front.

"Bye!" He said, rushing away.

Melinda smiled, biting her lip before walking away.

"What's this?" Trevor asked when he got to Midas. He's eating a sweet.

"Luck sweet" he replied, bringing out many of it from his pocket.

Trevor took one and ate it. "Why is it so spicy?" He asked, squeezing up his face.

"High pepper concentration" Midas replied.

"Who kept sweets on the table in the lounge?" Dylan asked, coming behind them.

"Why?" Trevor asked.

"I ate one and mistakenly swallowed it, how can a sweet be spicy?" He said.

"Why the f**k would you swallow it when you know you're a ulcer patient!" Midas shouted, and the referee blew the whistle.

They all rushed to the field immediately.

The cheerleaders stood at a safe part of the stadium with Delaney in front of them, Madelyn stood far from her.

Delaney led the songs, and the rest sang the chorus, they started moving like they practiced, waving clustered confetti in the air.

The formation got completed after some minutes, and the match started in full swing.

After five minutes, Dylan started feeling unbearable pains in his stomach, and he started slowing down the whole thing.

It was at this period that the seniors scored a goal, and the cheerleaders screamed so loud, jumping higher than before.

"Dylan what's up with you?" The Juniors coach asked, and he smiled lightly.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry" he replied.

"If you can't play football then leave the field, no one forced you" Mavis said spitefully.

"Dude, what's up?" Midas and Trevor asked at a time.

"I'm fine" Dylan smiled.

The match resumed, and the stomachache increased rapidly.

Dylan held his stomach as he passed the ball to Mavis.

Mavis would have passed it to the seniors net and score a goal but his ankle got sprained immediately, so he lost balance and fell on his butt

At the same time, Dylan fell heavily on his back, holding his stomach so tight.

"Aarrgg!" He groaned, sweating so much, remembering the sweet he swallowed.

"Dude!" His friends and the other team mates started rushing to him.

"Mavis!" Sydney shouted from the crowd and ran down the field to him.

"Dylan!" Madelyn shouted, throwing down her clustered confetti.

She made to run to the field but Delaney was faster.

Delaney threw down her confetti too, then she ran so fast to the field.

Mavis smiled when he saw her coming, but the smile disappeared when she changed direction to Dylan's spot.

She got there and knelt beside him, then she raised his head to her laps.

"Dylan!" She called, and she temporarily forgot about the stomachache.

She just called his name!

"Dela..." He squeezed his face as the pains came again.

"You ok?" She asked, looking so worried.
