Evan was also determined to win too. His competitive spirit quickly took over, and he was eager to prove his skills.
"Come on, Evan!" Alina cheered, waving her hands. Lizzy joined in, shouting encouragement for Joe.
The game started with a burst of energy. Evan's team quickly took control of the ball, with Evan skillfully dribbling past Marcus. He passed the ball to Sean, who made a beeline for the goal. Just as Sean was about to shoot, Marcus intercepted, stealing the ball with a swift move.
"Better luck next time," Marcus taunted, smirking as he ran past Sean.
The girls cheered louder, encouraging their respective favorites. Alina couldn't help but notice how Marcus seemed to glance her way every now and then, as if gauging her reaction. Determined not to let it affect her, she continued cheering for Evan and his team.
