Chapter 19 - IS THAT ZACK?

“What’s wrong Nathan?” Nicole asked with the shock of how she’s being dragged to the car.

I took a minute before responding her, because I wasn’t aware that I was dragging her, my mind is all over the place. Because of what! Erich? Why am I feeling like this because I know I am not into him, I am not into guys.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that I was dragging you, I just encountered a problem,” I said whilst thinking about the problem I encountered, and I can’t say it’s because of Erich to her, “I have dust allergy, so I have to hurry to my place and take some medications.”

We are on the soccer match waiting for it to start its 12:50 now and it starts at 1:00pm. I am sitting with Nicole who’s on my left side and with all my friends on the same row, Erich was sitting next to Lana who was on her right side and Chris on her left side whilst I was sitting next to Aaron on my right side who was sitting next to Chris on Chris left side, then Edward was next to Rose.

Michael stealing some glances at Eddie who was in the locker room along with other team changing their casual clothes to their kits. Its first time Michael seeing Eddie with bare chest, and it got him excited everywhere. He waited for Eddie to finish so that he could come out with him at the same time.

Everyone stood up on their seats when the match was starting, and I also stood up, it’s my first time being in a soccer match. The University stadium it’s really huge and now more seats are being occupied on the Health Science faculty team side. The sound of the stadium was deafening when the soccer teams came running toward the ground, then I saw Michael was behind Eddie and they looked very good in their kits.

“Wow! Look at Michael and Eddie.” Erich said with a high pitch.

They started clapping their hands, Aaron and Edward whistling, it was so good, everyone was jumping and happy and looking at Erich who was so excited it kinder made me a happy in a way I never expected. I saw her pulling out her phone from her left pant pocket and start chatting, and I knew it was Joseph but why should I be like this because I have Nicole on my side, who I decided to hold her hand, and I saw a small smile escaping her lips while looking at me.

“Michael he’s very good with soccer, its 30 minutes now and he scored two scores and the health science faculty it’s still zero,” Chris said.

Eddie had a ball, and he was on his way to score but his opponent took the ball from him by kicking his foot and it made Eddie to shrill with agony, he fell on the ground while holding his left leg and made the whole stadium to gasp, the ground had an artificial green lawn. Jasper who’s also on the opponent team came running toward Eddie then Michael who was also far from Eddie came on running with a full speed of a cheetah, because he saw Jasper holding Eddie, he couldn’t understand why it had to be him, he was so mad that he was about to push Jasper away, but the paramedics got there as soon as they could.

Jasper went to the guy who kicked Eddie and starts picking up a fight with him, everyone on the ground was surprised with Jasper’s reactions. The couch and referee had to interfere, but they can’t chase Jasper away from the playing ground since he’s their hope, he’s really good too just like Michael.

“Hi,” Erich stating while standing up when he saw Joseph coming toward him.

Joseph greeted everyone and they made him a space for him to sit next to Erich.

“Aren’t you supposed to be on your faculty side?” Chris asking whilst looking at Joseph who was just smiling bright.

“I couldn’t stay away from my queen longer than I was,” Joseph stated, and it melt everyone’s heart excluding Nathan.

“Guys, I’m coming I need something cold, it’s so freaking hot here,” Lana said while standing up to where the sellers are, outside the stadium.

“Can I have this?” Lana pointing at the last Popsicle.

Lana leaned herself against the stadium gate whilst trying to open the Popsicle, then she heard a girl voice hissing with disappointment, she went over her when her eyes land on her, the girl was two inches short from Lana who her hair it’s waved short fringe above her shoulders, her hair was dark brown while Lana she’s a Blondie with a long silk hair touching the center of her back.

“What’s wrong?” Lana asking to the girl who was in front of her mesmerized by her innocent beauty.

“I wanted a Popsicle and there’s none left,” The girl said with some pouting.

“We can share, what’s your name?” Lana asking while giving her the Popsicle.

“I am Irina, Thank you. My cousin told me to come here and now he’s not responding any of my contacting to him,” Irina said whilst taking a huge bite of the Popsicle that left some little mess on the corner of her lip.

Lana couldn’t hold herself; she moved forward slowly with her eyes on the target, she grabbed Irina by her neck gently and pull Irina’s neck toward her slowly and made her way to Irina’s lips with hers. And Irina reacted back also, whilst the Popsicle in her left hand.

“Oh! You two finally met?” Edward stating to Lana who was holding Irina’s hand to the bench.

“I have been calling you none stop, and you were not responding,” Irina stating with some disappointment in her tone and on her face. She left everyone shocked.

“Guys this is my cousin Irina, I brought her here to meet up with Lana, you know I’m good with match making, and here we are, fate brought them together before I did,” Edward said with a very warm smile on his face, “Let’s take a photo.”

Everyone was on the photo including Joseph and Nicole.

I saw Erich leaning himself to Joseph’s arm my heart starts pounding as I felt my soul nearly left my body, I really wanted to take Erich away from Joseph and just run away with him, to where, I don’t know, I felt that urge building up more and more, I was heavily breathing whilst looking at them smiling with each other until I felt a hand tucking in my arm, and that was Nicole, I honestly forgot about her.

Aaron was sitting next to Chris as his eyes landed on Chris thigh, he was wearing a black thin fabric short, he saw him scratching his thigh that was on the side of Aaron, Aaron hand start itching, the urge in him starts building up to place his hand on Chris thigh and he did, then looked away immediately. He left Chris with a confusion, but Chris also didn’t remove the hand, he pretended as if he’s not noticing or feeling anything.

The soccer match just ended, and the Art Faculty won, then Michael saw Eddie coming over but Jasper ran to Eddie first with an excitement of seeing Eddie well. Jasper hugged Eddie so tight, and he cupped both of his hands on Eddie’s cheeks and that was it for Michael, he rapidly went there with a halt, he pushed Jasper away from Eddie and looked at Eddie while breathing so hard. We don’t know if it’s from that running or something.

“I love you Eddie,” Michael said it while looking at Eddie not wanting to lose any sight of him, whilst panting also.

Zack he’s in his room pacing left and right because of Zoe’s text until he decides to respond her.

“Zoe, I am truly sorry to break down this to you, and I know that you are a good person to deserve some pure love, but honestly not from me because I am not into girls,” Zack sent the message, after a minute he sent another one, “I’m into your twin brother, Jack.”

He switched off his phone after sending that and went outside leaving the phone on his bed.

Zoe saw the notification I.G message from Zack on her screen, she was about to open the message until she saw the picture of her brother Erich being tagged on I.G and it was already 8pm, Erich was tagged on 3pm. She viewed the photo, and she gulped so hard while covering her mouth and widening her eyes.

“Is that Zack? The guy in a black tee?” she dropped her phone on the floor and pranced back to her bed.
