June's POV
Brrrring brrrring…
The sound of my alarm clock was all I heard. I tried to use my pillow to cover my ears and block every possible sound but all to no avail. I stretched my hands towards the side table and quickly turned the alarm off. Such a relief, I sat on the bed with my sleepy half closed eyes. I quickly pray before going into the bathroom to brush my teeth and have my bath. I stepped out with just a towel which was covering my body. I applied the body lotion and got into my uniform. Making my way downstairs, I see mum and Alerec. I quickly went over placed a kiss on Alerec and then mum while greeting.
"Good morning Maa."
"How was your night dear?" Mum asked while taking her position at the dinning table after placing the food on the table.
"It was okay, Alee how are you?" I responded and said to my little brother who was already seated.
"I'm alright big sis, what do you want for breakfast?" he asked trying to put food on my plate. Awwn so kind of him.
"Let's see, mm omelette, jam and bread will do." I said reaching out for jam and bread before sitting while he placed the omelette on my plate.
"Thank you Alee." I said with a smile.
"You're welcome." he said smiling before going back to his meal.
Kensington High
On entering the school gate, I heard a voice calling out to me.
"Hey, wait up." I stopped and turned on recognizing the voice. I was met by Luen who ran to catch up with me.
"Someone looks happy today." I said to her smiling. I could feel that something happened as she seemed more hyper than usual
"Oh,it's nothing." she replied blushing.
"Really? nothing and you are all blush and smiles. C'mon spill I'm your bestie you know. What happened on Saturday?" I asked hitting her shoulder lightly.
"Saturday, nothing happened." she said acting all confused. Ohh! this is how we play right?
"Okay then." I said feigning anger and walking away.
"Hey, don't leave. Okay, Luka asked me out." she finally said.
"Really! When?" I asked surprised. I wonder why I was surprised when I was expecting this all along. Maybe the fact that it happened so soon could be the reason.
"We had a date on Sunday and we are kinda like a thing now." she said the last part blushing more.
"Wow! That's nice. Someone's finally got her crush." I said teasingly feeling extremely happy for her.
Well, I've known for a long time that she had a crush on Luka after he helped her chase away some bullies. She had ever since liked him but couldn't get her feeling out but I'm happy, at least one of us got her crush.
"Shut up. How about Alex and you, what happened?"
"Nothing really happened sadly, we just talked about the party and stuff."
"Nothing, really? Girl you are not serious right?"
"Let's go in before the bell goes." I said cutting her short as I didn't really wanna talk. We both walked together hand in hand talking about the party and other things. After obtaining our books to be used for the day, we walked towards the class.
"June, what do you think about attending the basketball game?" I heard her suddenly ask.
"Where is this coming from?" I asked quizzically. We never went to the school game, not because we didn't like sports but rather we had no reason to go.
"Well, we have never actually been to a school game and we are almost graduating; it wouldn't be nice and its good for our grades plus Luka invited me"
"That's it,Luka huh!" I said wriggling my brows
"I've also thought of that, you don't have to use grades to make agree." I said laughing to which she just gave an awkward chuckle.
"How about we attend this Friday's game?" I said after a short pause. I also want to see how the game goes.
"That will be awesome." she replied.
"I heard a new ice cream parlour was opened close to the park." I said after remembering as I was craving ice cream.
"Yeah, so I heard." she said.
"How about we go there after school before going home?" I suggested.
"That sounds like fun. I'm in." Luen said cheekily.
After school, we went to the parlour for an ice cream treat after which, we went to the park and had various sheer of fun. It felt so good in all. Nothing like spending time with someone close to you.
Luen's POV
Friday.
Today was the basketball match between the Sky Hawks and the Ravens. Luka and Xander are members of the Ravens which is our school team. Our school is known for their skill in basketball. They are also good when it comes to football but they are more versed in basketball. The Sky Hawks are from Southern High and I must say this match looks like it going to be tough.
June and I came into the arena and settled down on the front row bleachers as the game begun. The Ravens were leading and the Hawks were not also accepting defeat. The game came to a total with the Ravens ahead by one point. I said the match was going to be tough. When the match came to an end, we went to meet the boys, they looked elated with fatigue missing from their current state.
"You guys were amazing, I never thought basketball could be this fun." I said.
"Thanks for coming." Luka said smiling. Holding his arm,
"I told you I'll come, I always keep my promise see." I said making us both laugh lightly.
We turned to see June and Alex talking.
"You came, I didn't really expect that. I thought you'll probably be in the library or somewhere reading." he said jokingly with a smirk on his face.
"I guess I did come. You know its not every time I read. You guys were amazing." she said
"Thank you. I'm glad you came." he said with a big smile.
"So am I." she responded.
He seemed more happy at the fact that we came, no she came than at the fact that they won the match. They like each other, why deny it. Shaking my head I smiled. While the boys went to get cleaned, June and I sat by the bleachers talking of the just ended match when, a tall blonde guy came up to us. I think he was one of Hawks player.
"Hi ladies." he said smiling. We both looked at him and returned the greeting.
"The name's Jason, from Southern." he said
"Luen, she's June. You guys played well too bad you didn't win." I said clicking my tongue playfully. He laughed.
"It was worth it, I got to met two beauties." he said with a smile looking more at June who had long since focused on her phone as she was bad at conversations.
"Cheesy I see." I said laughing lightly.
"I've got more up my sleeves." he said winking.
"Do you mind if I get your number?" he asked June who raised her head at the question and I. Like she was thinking, she hesitated a bit before responding.
"yeah, sure."
They both exchanged numbers and he also took mine. He looked at June before saying
"You look beautiful."
"Oh, thanks." she replied.
"I have to go now with my team. Hope to hear from you; it was nice meeting you." He said smiling.
"Yeah same." I replied with a smile. Jason bid us goodbye while sending a wink and a flying kiss to June.
From the corner of my eye, I noticed the boys walking towards us. Luka looking like his was trying to suppress his laughter while Alex was all jaw clenched. Seeing that I chuckled before tugging on June to go meet them. We all went for an ice cream and later, a bbq. The day was fun and we enjoyed ourselves.
