Few minutes later, Bethzy walked into Diamond's room holding a tray of food and juice and just as she saw Xander walking out of the bathroom, she tilted the tray towards a little, making the glass of juice fall to the ground and splash on his body.
"Oh I'm so sorry. It was a mistake" Bethzy said, dropping the tray of food on the stool.
"What now huh?" Xander thought, sensing that she has something up her sleeves
"I have some unisex clothes that would really look good on you. I will go get them" she said and rushed out of the room.
"So this is it?" He scoffed.
An hour later.
Bethzy walked into Diamond's room for the umpteenth time, fully dressed in her school sport wear. She smiled at Xander, seeing how good her baggy joggers looked on him.
"Here" Bethzy said holding out a pair of white canvas to him
"Why do I need shoes?" Xander asked taking the canvas from her
"Well... We are having sport in my school today, so I was thinking if you could join me" she said seductively.
"No, thanks"
"Please" she Pleaded with her cute baby eyes stating at him, and her long baby lashes going up and down repeatedly
"Does your sister attend the same school as you?"
"Yes, why?"
"Nothing" he said putting on the shoes
"You are coming with me?" Bethzy asked, not able to contend her curiosity
Yeah" he mumbled
"Yes!" She jumped up excitedly
"Now, I am going to show the whole school that I have a super cute boyfriend" she thought
"You wish" Xander said in his mind in disgust.
***************
The entrance to the field was blocked due to the large masses of crowd who came to support their respective teams. The crowd was wild with excitement. The environment was breathtaking.
"Warm up quickly, the game will be starting in thirty seconds" the coach said walked around the large field.
"Liam is on our team for the first time, great!" Eloise said to Diamond with a smile as they did their little exercise.
Having Liam on a team was very cool because he was one of the best players.
"And his girlfriend is on the opposite team" she added in disgust
"Louella isn't his girlfriend" Diamond corrected
"And he has a pet name for her" Eloise said with am eye roll
"Not as if Ella still isn't her name"
"You really do have a huge crush on this guy, don't you?"Eloise asked rhetorically.
"Diamond where is Bethzy?" The coach asked moving closer to Diamond.
"She will soon be here sir?" Diamond said even though she wasn't sure if Bethzy was already on her way.
"So she is still going to come late today even when I gave a strict warning that no one should come late" the coach frowned.
"Let's show these kids how it's done" Eloise said with a smirk.
"Eloise it's just a game"Diamond said.
"But just be sure to be careful of Louella, she's looking betrayed" Eloise said narrowing her eyes at Louella who was looking very angry.
"She thinks she can connive with the coach to get Liam on her team. I am gonna prove her wrong and teach her not to mess with me again" Louella thought.
Liam being the best player was made the captain of the golden lions team, while Louella another great player was made the captain of the bright warriors team. The golden lions wave was flowing from one end to the other. The crowd was shouting their hearts out. bright warriors were filling the air with an exotic feeling. Then the shouting turned into a loud roar as the referees came in to the field.
"You all are in. Know your teammates and be sure to win. Good luck to the winner" the referee said, dropped the ball and moved out of the field a little.
The players started to queue up for the national anthem. Then the national anthem of the school was played and the atmosphere was filled with a patriotic cum philanthropist feeling. As the anthem ended the two teams was welcomed by the crowd with a standing ovation. The two captains and the referee went in the center circle to flip a coin to see which team would get the ball first. The golden lions team, winning the toss, chose to start of the proceedings of the match.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the game started with a light touch to the ball by Liam to a teammate close-in and then the long pass Eloise at the back. The first ten minutes seemed like the passing practice for both teams. Possession gained and lost was the banner of the first ten minutes. But every pass by the players was being wildly cheered by the crowd. On the 15th minute of play golden lions scored their first goal and their fans cheered and shouted:
"GOAL! GOAL!!"
"Shit! This isn't happening" Louella cursed under her breath.
Bethzy gat a new boyfriend?" Eloise asked closing up at Diamond as she sighted Bethzy and Xander at the end of the field, Bethzy's hand around Xander's waist.
"She's such a good player" Xander said, his eyes glued to Diamond and Bethzy scoffed.
Diamond looking up at the crowd sighted Bethzy and Xander and immediately she froze.
"Why did she stop playing?" Xander asked with a weird look
"Why are you so concerned about her Anyways?" Bethzy asked with a frown
"Diamond what are you doing standing there like a statue?" The coach rasped angrily
Taking charge, Louella snatched the ball from a weak golden lion teammate and targeting at Diamond, she kicked the ball hard against her face, making Diamond fall to the ground with a loud thud.
The coach already frustrated facepalm himself
"Damn!" Xander cursed under his breath and ran off into the field.
"Oh my God!" Liam gasped as he closed up with Diamond and tried raising her up from the floor.
"Fuck you!" Eloise yelled as she charged towards Louella who was now smiling mischievously
Xander got to where Diamond was and tried helping her up, but she pushed him off
"Behalf yourself, I'm trying to help you here" Xander said with a light frown
Eloise pounced angrily on Louella and some of the players pulled her off, holding her back
The referee issued a yellow card to Louella and a free kick to the golden lions.
After liam had helped Diamond up, Diamond's eyes went to Xander and something struck her. She could recognize the clothes he was wearing to be Bethzy's. He was wearing Bethzy's clothes. Getting fed up with everything, Diamond ran out of the field into one of the buildings and Xander went after her.

Yandel found himself in a large city, he found everywhere beautiful, a little different from his world, but he wasn't there to admire so he stopped taking to the looks and concentrated more on why he was there; to find prince Xander.
"Howzit." he smiled at a lady as he walked pass a shopping mall.
"Hi." She blushed taking to his looks
"He is so cuteee! Please ask me out."
"Have you by any chance seen this guy?" He asked holding out a picture of Xander.
"No." she said a bit disappointed "But I can come with you if you want." She smiled seductively
"No thanks" he said and moved away, walking to who knows where.
"Have you seen this guy anywhere?" He asked a middle age man and he just shook his head and walk pass
"Hey, have you see him" he kept on asking and asking and asking.
He got really tired after asking a whole lot of persons and getting negative answers. He was already at the verge of giving up and teleporting back to his world, but his mind just kept urging him to go on and search for his prince.
**************
Diamond walked into an empty classroom and sat on a chair, wincing in pains
"What happened to you back there?" Xander asked as he walked into the classroom, but Diamond refuse to say a word
"I'm talking to you" Xander voice rose a little
"What business of yours is it? I have told you not to interfere with anything that has to do with me but you wouldn't listen. You could have just told me that you liked her" Diamond said angrily
"Like who?" Xander asked with raised brows
"Pretend for all I care"
"I don't know what you are talking about"
"My sister" Diamond half yelled
"And who said that?"
"Isn't it pretty obvious? You wearing her clothes and escorting her here"
"Nothing is obvious. She offered me these because the ones I wore before was messed up, and I only agreed to follow her here just so I can see you" Xander said in all sincerity
"Brilliant lies, but guess what? You can't fool me"
"I'm not trying to do so.... Wait... Are you jealous?" Xander asked and Diamond scoffed
"You wish. You can go ahead and be with her, I don't care" Diamond said as she stood up and wanted to walk out, but Xander held her back by her wrist.
"It is you I want to be with" he said and she froze.
Xander noticed how her body reacted so he turned her towards himself
"For the little time that we've stayed together, I have taken interest in you. I don't know exactly what I like about you yet, but I am sure that I'm going to find out sooner or later. I love you Diamond and I only wanna be with you, you and nobody else. When you asked me what I wanted and I said you were gonna know very soon, this was what I meant, this is what I want. Be my girlfriend Diamond" he poured out his heart to her, but immediately he said the last part, she snatched her hand from him and ran out of the class.
