Sunny paid so much attention to the match that he didn't even spare a glance to who was talking to him.
"Oh well, your brother is on the field, wanna bet on who will win?"
"Of course, Lindsay got this under control and I'm sure Emmy will score two goals before the half time ends."
He replied without turning his head.
"If you're that sure then let's make a bet. What if we go on a date and write a love song for me if my school win."
Sunny quickly turn around and could see a soft smile plastered across Linda's with the sun shades reflecting on her alabaster skin.
"Damn, this bitch again."
Sunny rose to his feet, gave her a threatening look with his dark onyx eyes and was about to walk off before realizing that everywhere is blocked.
"I thought the other one is the aggressive type, don't know you both have the same gene."
Linda said as she turn to him.
"Hey listen, what the hell did you want."
Sunny asked almost raising his voice.
"Will you just calm down, you can't even move out of here as everywhere is blocked, so just sit and let's enjoy the beautiful play of your brother."
He look around a few times and after seeing no way out, he decided to go sit back.
'What's wrong with this bitch appearing around us all the time.'
"Listen, will you stop being so clingy and stop appearing around us."
Sunny said not moving his eyes away from hers', disregarding the fact that her beauty is bewitching.
"Only if you make a bet with me on who got this match."
Linda replied as she moves her eyes away from his', she couldn't keep it fixed for long or else she might hug him.
"Why would I bet with you."
"Because you were so sure that your school will win and your brother will score 2 goals before the half time ends."
Linda replied.
"Oh well, don't appear around us again if your school lose the match, hmm and what,...I want you to sing your best record on the day of the Talent Exhibition final show."
He wanted to know if the girl is better than him, although he had been getting high points than her in every round of the show but he felt like the girl hasn't display her best record, also she had been appearing around him and Emmy since the day they met, Sunny first thought she wanted to be friend and hang out with them but later found out that she's after him, it seems the girl has something on him and there's even a rumor that the two are dating.
'Maybe she's even the one that spread the rumor.'
"Okay agreed, but if my school manage to win the match, then we'll go on a date, treat me to a dinner and also write a love song for me."
Linda said with a charming smile.
"Tch, in your dream, Lindsay will surely win."
"Seems you agreed then."
Sunny didn't say anything and just focus on the match, this confirm his suspicious of the girl having something on him, and now she had mention to go on a date with him. Sunny didn't even know what going on a date really mean, he hadn't been to one before but he knew that it isn't something related to wielding sword or throwing punches, it something that lovers do.
'Emmy you better win this one if you don't want to get roasted.'

Emmy himself is having a difficult time on the field, not only is all his goals being denied by Manuel but he barely get a clear chance to shoot a direct shot and his teammates are getting tackled all the time, the opponent are not posing a threat to their keeper but they're not giving them chances.
They're at a stalemate at the moment, and it doesn't look like either team will score any time soon, they're both putting pressure on each other.
The first half came to an end with a goalless draw and as they took their break, the commentator made a coverage of the half time.
(Straitgate College and Lindsay Academy go into half-time with their score goalless in their APST semi final. The two sides had a few scuffle in the early minutes with both strikers and wingers throwing a threatening shot at each other's keeper but failed to score any goal. It's been fairly even in terms of possession with Straitgate Academy slightly edging with 53%. Both coach will be hoping to see more from their respective sides)
A few substitution was made in Straitgate sides while Lindsay only substituted Kelly out who had gotten an early injury and brought in Arthur at the left-back.
Lindsay get the ball rolling again as they had the kickoff in the second half.
Joe received the ball from at left, he moves forward and as the opponent midfielder rush at him, he chips a cross over to Karim who fire a low pass into Russ, the striker then turns past Robin before blasting his effort over the top of the bar from close range.
Getting the ball back onto the field, Manuel slot a low pass to David who fire a long shot to the left winger Jamal, getting the ball in his possession, he moves the ball forward before dropping a pass back to Andrea - one of the substituted players, who get involved for the first time since coming off the bench, he fire a shot at the top center of the post, but the ball sadly hit the bar and as the defenders tried to get it out of their box, Smith came like a rocket, heading the ball inside the net.
(GOOAALL!!! Smith score! 1-0 Straitgate are ahead! Jamal get down the left and takes his time in possession before cutting a low pass towards Andrea, who fire a first-time shot at the top center of post hitting the bar and Smith come at the last seconds hitting the ball with his head into the goal)
(What an impact from the substitute! Straitgate opened the scoreline, can they maintain the goal or even score more)
The second half just begin and Straitgate have scored their first goal making everyone tense.
Somewhere among the audience, Sunny clenched his fist so hard as the first goal entered while the beautiful girl besides him smile.
Lindsay responded well to the goal as they play calm and are starting to put pressure on Straitgate, Emmy and Joe get to their defense lane within a matter of moments with a simple one-two touch but David intercepted them with a sliding tackle and get it away from them.
The ball is back in Straitgate possession as Brian received the ball and move forward from the left-back and deliver a thorough pass to Jamal who get Nate off the way but was intercepted by Hugo who kicked the ball out of the field at the last moment.
The referee blew corner kick in Straitgate favors which was sadly played to a goal kick.
The match go on for a more couple dozen minutes with both sides failing to make any reasonable attempt after the first goal from Straitgate College, they're both finding it difficult to find the back of each others net, all their attempts were being intercepted.
Lindsay fans are getting tense and Sunny at the audience seat is raining a curse on Emmy for all his failed attempts.
Emmy turned the crowd crazy at the 76th minutes with a wonderful cross of his' but it also failed. The cross was played from the corner kick after the referee blew in their favor. Russ was already on his way to take it but Emmy aggressively stopped him after getting there before him.
He set the ball on the line and activated the 'David Beckham Cross ' before delivering a banana cross which bend like an arc and moves to the top right corner of the post, the keeper's hand was unable to get there but just at the last moment, the ball stopped midair at the front of the line before someone came with a scissors kick, sending the ball away.
(SAVE! A very wonderful and dangerous cross came from Emmy, he made the cross from the opponent's corner, it flew past the defenders and everyone else, then like an arc, it bends heading straight to the top right corner of the post. The keeper's attempt to save failed as his hand couldn't reach the ball but a savior came at the last moment and stop the ball with some telekinesis power.
What a wonderful sight there!)
"Argh! Who's that crazy bastard."
Sunny yell at the top of his lung, speaking out everyone's mind.
"You shouldn't shout, the match hasn't ended."
Linda said but Sunny spare her no glance.
'That crazy bitch.'
The ball get back in Lindsay possession after it was kicked out, they played calmly and moves forward, touching the ball diligently, Joe dribbled one of the midfielders and move forward as he was chased down by other two from behind, David came with a sliding tackle but Joe managed to throw a late low pass which was intercepted by Robin at the centre. The match continue like that till the 90th minutes before an additional time of three minutes was given.
(It seems Lindsay are not coming back from this as it's the 90th minutes already, additional time of 3 minutes will be given before the match comes to an end. The fans looked crushed, both sides have really done their best, hope we'll be witnessing more thrilling matches like this in the future)
The ball was still in Straitgate possession and as Smith moves it forward, towards the opponent's box, Nate and Hugo came forward and got the ball away from him before tossing it to Chiesa at the right back who then burst forward and deliver a long pass to John.
The ball landed on John chest before it dropped beautifully, he slots a quick pass to Joe who was already on the move and cut the surging midfielder, he moves closer to the opponent's box before delivering a low pass to an unmarked Emmy just to right.
Emmy wasted no time firing his effort to the top left corner of the goal, but the keeper react just in time to punch it out to the stunned Noah who stood still thinking it was a goal, before Noah could realize that a loose ball was off to his leg, Emmy appeared just before him and cross it back to the centre of the box where Elliott came with his head into the bottom right corner of the post.
The keeper hasn't gotten up from the last save and the defenders were slow to react and there was a goal.
(GOOOOAAAALLLLL!)
The commentator screamed at the top of his lung.
(What a crazy comeback Lindsay Academy have made, now the score is 1-1)
(Elliott scored a late equalizer goal to level the score at 1-1 for Lindsay against Straitgate and send this APST semi final to extra time. After so many failed attempt, they finally made a comeback. I knew history will be made here today)
Emmy ran and picked the ball, put it under his jersey before running to the midfield with all his teammates behind him as they celebrate, Elliot was the first to jump over him from behind, even those who hate him also celebrate with him and some of the fans have rushed unto the field.
If Sunny could, he would've jumped into the field from where he's sitting. His joy couldn't be contained.
