Chapter 29: Leaving With Your Tail Between Your Legs (1/2)

The next morning, Thursday, June 22nd.

Amon wakes up early without needing an alarm clock.

'Brush your teeth…' He thought as he stretched, then he left the room.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Amon dressed in workout clothes.

”Good morning, Amon.” Maisa came out of her room and saw him. She smiled with slightly pink cheeks, showing cute dimples as she smiled.

”Good morning…” Amon tried to be nonchalant as usual, but his voice trailed off in the end. He was still confused by what happened before, when he searched the internet the information was all contradictory.

Maisa noticed Amon's strangeness and her eyes opened even wider. She didn't expect him to be affected by what happened before, just as she and Julia were affected. By the way, did she see him blush!? 'Am I imagining things?'

”Going to train?” Maisa asked the obvious. She just wanted to start a conversation.

”Mm, see you later?” Amon asked. He tried to control his emotions by asking this question nonchalantly.

”Yes of course. I'll brush my teeth and I'll be there right away.” Maisa smiled softly.

*

The last two classes were physical education. Amon was playing basketball, Maísa was on his team.

Maisa was the second-best on the team.

Bouncing the ball on the floor of the court, Maísa fakes to the left then comes back, deceiving the opponent, she runs quickly and passes the ball: ”Amon!”

Amon catches the ball, then bounces it off the ground and dribbles past opponents swiftly. It was like he left after-images behind as he moved masterfully, and soon he jumped and buried the ball in the hoop.

*Whistle!*

”2 points for the red team!” The judge, who was a girl from room 303 yelled.

”Yay!” Maisa approached Amon, she reached out and slapped his hands, she smiled and went back to taking a defensive position.

The team went to hug Amon, however, they received a cold look and he dodged their onslaught.

”Amon, don't leave...” They looked at Amon sadly.

Amon gave him a cold look and asked, ”Are you hurt?”

”No?” They were confused.

”Then you can walk alone, no grabbing me,” Amon said indifferently.

”...” All.

”But you let Maisa slap your hand,” Victor complained.

”She's different,” Amon said coldly.

Victor: ”...”

”I'm different…” Maísa smiled a lot when she heard that and looked at Amon with a flushed face. Slapping her face with her hands, she calms down and goes back to paying attention to the game.

Barbara, who was on the opposing team, grit her teeth as she looked at Maisa, then she puffed out her cheeks. Holding the basketball, it starts bouncing on the ground and she goes towards Maísa, wanting to face her.

Maisa saw Barbara approaching and became serious. She goes towards her to block and steal the ball. Barbara made a feint pretending to pass the ball to someone on the side. Maisa looks in that direction and prepares to run.

Barbara's lips curved into a thin smile, she threw it over Maisa who didn't have time to jump and catch the ball.

Barbara catches the ball while jumping, and runs, bouncing the ball. She had a smile on her face for having managed to get past Maísa, but she was soon surrounded. Barbara is agile but not proficient in the sport, she jumps again and throws.

Amon already predicted this, and was in front of his basket and jumped. Slamming his hand, he sent the ball away, heading towards the opponent's basket.

”Damn it!” Barbara cursed and ran across the court, luckily the ball hit the hoop, but didn't enter.

One of the red team players caught the ball and began to exchange passes quickly. Avoiding Maisa and Ammon.

”Time's up!” The PE teacher walked to the middle of the court and said:

”Let's start the hurdle race now. But before that happens, today 4 students from Sister Maria Tereza School came to visit our school, they came to see the champions of the tournament.”

Four boys left the stands and walked to the basketball court. Jardel, the first place in his school, snorted in disdain when he looked at Amon.

Jardel is tall, 194 cm, with black hair and dark green eyes. He emitted a coolness as he walked smugly.

The other three were less arrogant, but still looked haughtily at all the students and only Maísa, Barbara, Victor, and Amon impressed them a little, but nothing, they thought, worth noting.

'I was told this year's winner was powerful, as he has lightning genes, but is he just that?' Jardel looks at Amon arrogantly, he feels like he's wasting his time being here.

”Jardel.” Cleiton, the runner-up, joked with sarcasm, ”If you stare at him so much, he might start crying~”

”Is he the winner of the tournament?” Jardel did not respond to Cleiton's provocation and asked the Physical Education Teacher arrogantly, not respecting that he is a teacher.
