the ball in my direction "I yelled on Jackson as he was cornered by the opponents He nodded his head in response and threw the ball in my direction. But before it reaches to me Nick Catches in the middle and after a short run he threw ball to goal, but he was not able to goal and again. Nick Carter a good player of the basketball and in studies too. But the one thing I hate about him, he changes the girl like a tissue paper. He often indulges in fights and other illegal thing. He's father is rich lawyer of the New York, That's why it's very easy for him to play with Law. The coach blow the whistle and stop the game. He looked very furious as he flared his nostril and strolled in my direction. "Xavier, why did you not took the ball from Nick" he said glaring to Nick. I averted my gaze to Nick, he rolled his eyes and talking with other team mates - "Coach he came between like always" I replied him and few team mates agreed with me .Nick growled in anger and threw the ball towards me.

He did not cared about the team but only about himself. " I will see you later, Reynold," Nick grumbled and walked away.

The coach asked us to restart the game. suddenly, a thud sound heard from the other side of the room. as I averted my gaze to the sound, I saw Sophia and Nick was on the ground. She looked scared as she has seen something Ghost. As her gaze met mine, her eyes flashes with nervousness but she quickly covered it

"you dumbass girl, why did you pushed me?" Nick groaned. They stood back on her feet, while Sophia fidgeting her fingers, she kept her bag on her back. I ran towards them and stood beside her, "Are you okay?" I asked her but she didn't replied and turned her heels off. this girl can never easily. after the college gets over, I was waiting for Jason. He stepped inside the car with a grin, "Why are you showing your teeth like a donkey?"

He took out a tiny paper from his pocket of jeans and replied me, showcasing his thirty two teeth again, "I told you that I liked someone from ages and she is shy-type."

I nodded my head as I remember he told me once me about his crush. "Yes she gave me her number today in the library," he scratched his neck base shyly. My jaw dropped after hearing Jackson went to library! He Never ever went to library not for any exam or for any book. He had some phobia that the library has ghost who may turn him into bookworms.

"How did you went to the library?" I questioned him. He shrugged his shoulders and said while informing me,"Don't forget today's party. Ria will reach your house like last time."

I sighed in frustration that she reaches home if I don't come her stupid parties. Pass. It's very awkaward for Mom as Ria's mom had some past with dad. But mom treats her very well like her own daughter but Ria's mom wanted me and ria to be together. I never saw Ria more than my friend, which my understoods very well.thanks for reminding I said as I start the car. As I stepped inside the boxing club, I could hear the gasps and punching sound

My gaze stopped at Sophie, sweating rolling from head to her neck. She was punching on the punching bag profusely, Like in any moment the Punching bag would he teared up. She looked furious and deep thought. Her fierce eyes were fixed on the punching bag. I ,liked her way this time and same time I am worried for her. I put my mask on my face and sauntered towarde her. I caught the punching bag tightly intentionally to stop her which she did. She exhaled a breath and teared her gaze from the punching bag to me "What's the fault of the punching nag that you are punching it so hard I aksed her while teasing she furrowed her eyesbrows and replied me in a cold voice, "Do you want to become my punching bag?" I chuckled as she never left back you bag to beat me up She took out her punching gloves and picked up the water bottle from the table.as she drink the water, the water droplets rolled from her lips to inside her top. My throat went dry looking at her, she poured the water on her face and all her tops goes wet.
