Playing basketball only with the boys, Mira discovered that there was no way she could beat the boys, beaten for two rounds, and then, one of the girls, Lucy decided to join in.
She was athletic and was very good at it.
"Do you know to play against these boys?" Lucy stated sarcastically though she was trying to jester the boys.
"I don't think these boys are man enough, one girl versus six of you, that's a swift move. I'll join you," Mira smiled and when the girls were about to play, another addition came in.
Justin walked into the court effortlessly declaring.
"I'll go with you girls, I'll join," it actually softened Mira's heart a little bit but then with no surprise, someone else walked into the court.
"I'll also join," Mira smirked though she wasn't hesitating, she was sure she was going to lose against Matthew's team.
Maddie considered herself the queen of girly activities but then she wasn't as mixed up as Mira was, sometimes she could be the girly type, and other times, she could be the tomboy.
So Mira was able to learn how to play basketball since she played with boys from their neighborhood meanwhile Maddie would go out shopping being an extreme introvert and only getting to be an extrovert when it came to her own benefits.
So this was going to be no surprise if she loses to Matthew.
Mira stylishly went to the back where Maddie stood and then she whispered.
"I hope you don't fall," though her statement was a bit of a concern, she was only trying to be scornful.
Maddie turned to her and then placed a fake smile like it was applied after the use of make-up and then she replied.
"I hope I wouldn't after all, Justin is here I'm sure I'm going to learn it pretty fast," Mira nodded.
The girl would want to see how Justin would defend her on the basketball court so it would be great if Mira could also watch.
Lucy stood in front of the line with the ball as they all got prepared for the whistle, and when it was blown, Lucy passed the ball under as Justin took the ball, and then stylishly both Lucy and Mira moved forward to get the ball.
Maddie stood at her post like the defender though she didn't know what she was going to do.
Before the time for holding the ball got wasted in Justin's hands, he thought it was a good idea if he tossed it to Mira seeing that she didn't have a lot of obstacles and then she could toss it back so he threw the ball.
Maddie saw it coming toward her, at first she was confident about taking the ball but as it got closer, she discovered the force at which the ball was heading toward her, and with panic mixed with her system, she turned her face and body to dodge the ball allowing Matthew's member to gain the ball and then it was tossed into the basket successfully.
"Yeah!!" Matthew's team rejoiced as Justin encouraged Maddie seeing her disappointed look.
"You don't need to worry, this is your first time, you'll get another time."
"Maybe you should toss the ball to either I or Lucy and both you and Lucy would defend the ball, Justin," Mira interrupted as she suggested and then Justin nodded in agreement.
Well before Mira moved back to her post, she made eye contact with Maddie and then she winked mischievously going back to her post.
Maddie fist her hands as she gritted her teeth though, after a bit, she knew it was best if she stayed cool.
They did another round and Mira's team was getting higher scores but when it was time for another round, Mira was handling the steps well and when she was about to toss it into the basket, she lost her balance and about to fall to the ground she stretched her hands to stop herself.
Everyone was anticipating the ball entering the basket but Justin took notice and with the fear of injuring her arm, he rushed toward her and then took her arm as he embraced her only to be pushed with force as they landed on the ground rolling on the ground.
As they stopped, Mira was on top of Justin, she heaved a deep sigh in relief but then, her slow-paced heart began to ponder as she stared into Justin's eyes that looked at her with concern.
"Are you alright?" Justin spoke nicely averting her from her pondering thoughts.
Mira mildly smiled and then she stood up but then as they both got up, one thing they didn't figure out was the eyes of the audience, everyone stared at them like they were in some kind of trance or watching a heart scene that was going to get more interesting at any moment.
Mira softly coughed to get out of the awkward moment and then she stated.
"I'll be going, now," she dusted herself to leave though Lucy came in front of her.
"You've played well, we were able to beat these mummy's boys," once again, Lucy jested as Mira couldn't help but laugh, this time it was so funny, especially with the fact Matthew was among them.
"Thank you," she replied with a smile and then she took her feet to walk away.
As Mira left, Maddie hurried to check on Justin.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Why did you have to do that? You could have become severely injured, you should know that you wouldn't just fall but also placed weight on your back, and who might have known what was going to happen to you?"
"You're concerned about me more than you are about Mira, right?" Maddie raised her head to take a look at him, of course, she was more concerned about him than she was about Mira but she would have to pretend to be a caring sister so she looked stunned as she scoffed.
"What are you saying? I care about you both, you're both important to me though I just want to say what you did there was risky, this isn't a movie you can act like a thriller actor, this is real life so behave like you know so and besides," she looked around.
"I'll go meet Mira," she stated and then she walked away.
When Maddie found Mira, she approached her and touched her shoulder.
"Can we talk?" Maddie requested and then Mira nodded as she walked somewhere where she found appropriate.
"What's all this you're doing?" Maddie interrogated her as Mira arched her eyebrow.
"What are you saying? Ughh," Mira groaned feeling a slap on her face.
"How dare you question me in that manner?" She held Mira's hair as she violently shook it.
"The next time you behave like that then I will-"
"What would you do?" Mira questioned scornfully as she placed a smile.
"Kill me?" She questioned irritatedly and then with the last string that was pulled within Maddie, she pushed her.
Mira slipped not discovering her next step and then she rolled on the ground not until she hit her head on a stone.
Maddie who saw what happened had her anger reduced to fear and panic, she rushed to meet Mira but she was not moving even after tapping her and when she placed a finger over her nose, there was no breath.
Maddie shuddered with fear. "I've, I've killed Mira?" She questioned with denial inwardly shaking her head but then as she touched her body, she felt her body was as cold as ice.
Maddie stood up in panic thinking of what she was going to do, she looked around to see if someone was around but when she saw no one around, she ran away in fear as she tried to make her expression look calm and her appearance, she moved to her tent to make it look normal.
