8 Chapter 6 (1/2)
This was the day that all the students were expecting.
Unmei Academy's sports festival.
Prominent figures, celebrities, tyc.o.o.ns even politicians and some royalties attended this event to watched and cheered for their family and friends.
The Academy had strict rules that observers, relative or not, should not in any way interfere with the event. They wouldn't be allowed even to come close and speak to their sons and daughters during the entirety of the game. However, they would be permitted to watch and cheered and nothing else.
”Daniel!”
”Daniel!”
”Daniel!”
The huge gym reverberated at the earth-shattering cheering from the sound of Daniel's name, the star and MVP player of the basketball game.
Basketball was a fan girls dream. It was a sport of athletic men who were often sweating, panting, and dealing with their feelings on court. Thus, it was no wonder that this game had many women cheering and going crazy in stimulus.
Sisley's heart fluttered and skipped a beat every time that Daniel scored. She felt even more deeply in love with him as she continued watching his remarkable display of skills. Some of the girls even cried and at the verged of losing their selves.
Daniel is just so… awesome…. *sigh…
Meanwhile, while Daniel and Max played like the star of an action movie, being cheered and cried upon, Eric was sitting on a bench, reading his notes. He was the only person on the bench. Since the start to the end of the game, he didn't even get the chance to warm up.
Who would let him play with his nerdy countenance, appearing weak in physical endurance and strength, no one would take the chance with Daniel being a compet.i.tive man. All Daniel thought about when playing was winning, and he would not allow a little slip just because he let a single person ruin the momentum of the game.
Meanwhile, while some of the management boys were busy playing basketball games, some of the management girls were playing dodgeball.
From the start, Evangeline and some of her not so popular cla.s.smates were forced to play this game of pain. Since it was only five of them who were present and no spare, the exact number to play dodgeball, every one of them was required to come on the playing field.
Evangeline smirked inwardly. She knew that it was planned by their cla.s.s president, who was a girl by the way, and every girl hated her that was why she was put in this game together with her other cla.s.smates of the lower stratum in the cla.s.s.
Evangeline glanced at her opponents.
Tall, well built like they came out from a football match and very able to break some bones.
She glanced at her team.
…..
…..
Weak.
That was the only word for it.
The opponent smiled and grinned evilly at her which she just smirked in turn – challenging them.
Hmp! You've underestimated me.
Without a second thought, Evangeline raised her hand.
”I forfeit.”
Then she grabbed her things and sashayed out of that stinking field.
”.....”
”.....”
The teachers and students were speechless, to say the least.
The teachers all wanted to shout and drag Evangeline back, but they knew that forfeiting wasn't against the rules.
All of them hadn't expected that Evangeline would just forfeit like that, knowing that by relinquishing, their team would entirely lose the game since they had no spare.
They clearly underestimated her hard-hearted and shamelessness.
----?----
Daniel hurriedly finished playing basketball, his second game for the morning. He couldn't wait to meet up with Sisley in their secret meeting place. He shoved everything inside his backpack and with his still basketball attire on, he ran towards the exit of the gym and into the deeper parts of the garden.
Meanwhile, Eric was also preparing to leave when Max stopped him.
”Eric, right? Sorry, but could you give this to Daniel, I have another game after this and Daniel might need his phone.” Max explained as he handed Daniel's phone towards the nerdy man.
Eric just looked at Max with a stoic unreadable face, then he grabbed the phone from Max's hand and dashed off towards where Daniel had gone too.
”Weirdo...”
Max softly uttered as he shook his head.
----?----
Meanwhile, in the deeper parts of the garden where towering trees blocked the sun, Sisley carefully laid out boxes after boxes of food, making sure that everything was perfect.
She couldn't help but giggle in antic.i.p.ation. Then the man of her dreams came in, panting and catching his breath.
”Sorry... *pant... Have you been waiting long?” Daniel ran his hand through his somewhat dump hair with beads of sweat falling from his face. Coupled by his basketball attire that formed his muscular frame, he appeared enticingly alluring.
Sisley gulped.
