29 A Childish Act: Part 1 (2/2)

Jake put one of his hand on my shoulder looking at me in the eyes.

”You are getting red Bella! You OK?” Jake said smirking.

”Yes Jake! Bella is getting red like a tomato these days a lot everytime I mention you. I wonder why!” Swetha said joining Jake.

”Oh you guys plz don't make weird assumptions. I'm fine!” I said pouting and started ahead of them hiding my shyness.

”Haha Bells! Wait up” They said coming behind me.

”Yo Jake!” I heard one the players of our basketball ball team calling him. My eyes locked on the outer basketball court where Rex was standing looking at with his eyes locked as well. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him. I started to feel an unusual sensation thinking that Rex could be Ben.

”We are one player short bro! Rex's team really fucked us up. He is a dangerous player lol, one from our team member got injured,” The other team's boy said to Jake.

”Ah sure I'll join!” Jake said without even giving a second thought.

I looked away from Rex as I understood what was gonna happen right now.

”Jake noo don't! You don't have to play!” I said looking at Jake worried as hell. What if Rex is Ben. Ben saw me with Jake before, that day when I visited Josh in hospital. What if he tries to hurt Jake. No I can't let that happen.

”Jake please!” I grabbed Jake T shirt which made Rex flinch.

”Haha Bells I'll be just fine. You just wait and watch,” He said smiling his brightest smile.

”Jake! Please be careful!” I let go of his shirt because I understood I was creating a scene which was attracting people around us. Many girls already started gathering hearing about Jake and Rex's match.

”Gosh Bells you are so lucky!” Swetha said giving me a soft punch on the shoulder.

”Now let's see which one of your lover wins shall we?” She laughed.

”Swetha no you!” I was trembling in fear worrying about Jake. But I'm not sure Rex is Ben either. Ugh what should I do!
