Chapter 6: When she met him first
" Mia." A voice called out her name in astonishment while she raised her head to see who she had bumped into. It was Ice and two girls who was behind him. He had stretched his hands over one of the girls shoulders and held the waist of the other.
Mia rolled her eyes in disappointment as she had to meet him again. She stared at the two girls who were with him with high disgust but more for him. "Move out of my way." She said with annoyance surrealed in her tone.
" Go ahead, babies, I have to do something." He kissed one of the girls on the lips and the other on the cheek, slapping their a**es as they leave. He faced Mia as he chewed on the gum in his mouth hard. He walked round Mia staring at her.
" Look, I know you have a crush on me but please stop making it obvious by following me around." He kept on smiling and drew his face closer to hers. She held his hair on tightly and he screamed, " Are you crazy? let go." He held on her hands trying to get them off his hair.
She let go and then he rubbed on his head gently, trying to arrange it back. She walked away from him, brushing him off lightly. " I guess I should tell the school what I know." He said as she stopped abruptly turning around immediately. She sprung up, her hair getting more tense as she seconds passed by.
Mia felt weak in her it seemed like her energy was drained in shock. She lost her balance but managed to keep still, her lips trembled as she tried to digest what ice had just told her. " What do you mean?" She found her voice after few minutes of silence. " Huh.. Do you think I actually stopped you to pull your legs?" He replied as he walked away from her heading further down the hall.
Mia stood there and dived her fingers through her hair as series of question flooded her mind, her brain is clouded she can't think straight, how? It wasn't supposed to happen yet. " What do you want?" She queried while she gulped down a few saliva down her throat.
He turned around and smirk and then faced back to his direction while she followed him tensely. They got to the end of the hall and there was a door while some lockers were beside it. He moved to one of the lockers which was designed beautifully and jacked it open.
" You haven't given me a reply." She said once more. " Sure, but I don't know what I am replying to."He said as he took off his shirt and then wanted to take off his pants when she interrupted, while she tried to cover her eyes, " Hey! I am still here." He smiled and then said to her, " Don't worry!" He pulled down his pants completely and then his sports shorts were revealed. It was then she realized he also had a sport shirt on.
He took his uniform and shoved it into the locker while he brought out his phone from the locker and then moved forward to a vending machine. " Are you going to practice?" She stared at him while he looked at the machine. " Yes! And you are coming with me." He completed his statement. " What?" She screamed in disapproval of his words.
He looked at her raising one of his brows as she stares deeply at him. " Okay! I will." He turned to the vending machine again and he asked her, " Soda or jucice?" She wasn't paying attention to him and then he called her name bringing her back to reality.
He repeated the question and then she said " I would prefer yougurt." She pressed the machine herself while the machine made some sounds and soon the drink was rolled out. She picked it up. He scanned the QR code to offer the payment and when they were done, he led the way to the door and they ended up on the other side of the door.

They walked into a wider space. It was the school's basketball court. There were few people there as audience as it doesn't seem like a formal match yet. There were not many players either on the court.
Ice gestured to Mia to go sit and wait for him. She was reluctant at first but got no choice as his name was called to come into the court and he went away from her. She was annoyed at the sight bit then she went to take her seats. The other girls who were the audience were either there for their boyfriend or brother. They were cheering and holding a bottle of water each while the other hand was where they held their phones and took pictures.
Mia felt irritated as she wasn't a sport fan and didn't seem to be getting along with the game so she just took out her phone and started scrolling throught the internet while drinking the yourhut ice bought.
After few minutes, she felt pressed and stood up to get to the restroom. She was still staring at her and then she went through the court instead of following through the audience seat. She kept at her phone and was walking through when a slight whistling sound was heard from behind and she turned around to see what it was.
She had her face glued to her phone and then an incoming message came but before she could view it she had gotten hit on the face by a ball.
She lost her balance and was falling straight to the ground when she was caught by someone.Her phone fell to the ground but thank God there wasn't a single scratch on the screen.It wasn't ice but a handsome guy. He held unto her waist as to support her from falling while everyone stared at them. She lost her cool as she kept on staring at this handsome god before her. She would have screamed at him if she knew him but for some reasons she didn't.
She had no idea who he was. She had never came across him before, she knew quite almost everyone as she was popular. He looks like a senior, that was really strange to her. The other players ran to their direction and then he said " Sorry!" With a very calm and cool voice which melted her heart.
She had never felt this way before but that words also brought her back to reality. She realized when his hands were on and she pushed him away. " Are you crazy?" She jerked up at him and he stared with amusement.
" What?" He asked and by that time everyone was already gathered at their direction. " Where do you think you touch?" She pointed at him still being mesmerized by his sharp features. " Argh! I am sorry about that." He replied still keeping his cool.
" You are sorry? You are sorry?" She asked sarcastically and then rolled her eyes crossing her arms around her chest. " What can sorry ever solve? Can it undo the ball from hitting my priceless face or can it fix back makeup." She kept on rant rhetorical questions and everyone was just quiet although they were mostly seniors there and she was a Junior.
" Enough!!" He screamed at her " Your goddamn makeup also ruin our ball." He snapped at her. " What?" She queried in shock that he could actually raise his voice at her as he seemed like a gentle guy. " Hey! Listen up, we are said sorry, what more do you want? You want us to how at your feet?" He kept on going and she felt embarrassed by his words.
She wanted to reply but she could as her voice refused her to do so. She just kept on staring at him. No one had ever scolded her that way not even her parents. Her eyes were filled with regret at what she had just done. She quickly manged to get control of her feet and walked out of the place.
Ice had followed her but then he stopped when she walked into the restroom after dumping her yourgut in the trashcan. She got into the restroom and sat on the toilet as she started reflecting on what had just happened. She felt so ashamed and no one had ever made her so.
Tears had blurred her vision and then soon drops of tears came down her eyes though she tried so hard not to let it down. She weeped like she had never done before. She felt pain and sadness beclouded her reasoning.
She stayed there for half an hour and soon got out. She met Luna standing beside the closet. She had hugged her and then asked her what had happened. Mia couldn't say a word as her eyes were swollen from the tears she had shed. She started crying all over again, hugging Luna who kept on questioning her.
" Let's get out of here first." She held unto Mia and then helped her move out of the restroom. They got to the garden and sat on their usual seatte. She had stopped and had explained everything to Luna.
" OMG!" She remarked as she rubbed unto my hair. " My poor friend." She kept on going . Mia had stopped sobbing and then manged to smile. " You want to head home now or should I let you apply your make up to calm you down." She stopped and then Mia gave a weak reply.
" I think I would head home first." She withdrew from the seatte. " Then I think we should call your driver." Luna shrugged and then Mia nodded. " Oh, speaking of which, here is your phone. Ice handed it to me he said you dropped it in the court." She stretched her hand forward handing her the phone. She had turned it on and then saw something that made her eyes widen in surprise.
" Mia, you won't believe this." She kept on staring at Mia's phone and then Mia stood in confusion then headed to see what it was and she was also in wild shock...
