Fast forward to next next week's game.

The air is buzzing with excitement, which school will win today's match, will it be Forwood high (our school) or will it be Norwood High (our rival school)... Nobody knows, and now it's anyone's game as we have a new player and our game plan has changed, so maybe we'll beat them!.....

Sasha's pov

Anastasia and I make it to the stands and secure our front-row seats, making sure we have our banners ready to support Peter.

"Hey, don't forget this time you're getting the snacks." She says, clearly not having forgotten her last incident getting snacks.

"Of course, how could I forget" I reply with amusement.

See we made a deal now, given the fact that Peter plays soccer and in doing so we attend all his matches to show our support, so now Anastasia and I take turns on who gets the snacks because of the last incident Anastasia had, so it's my turn to get the snacks, but for Peter's next match Anastasia will have to get them, and this way it's fair.

"Thank you." She says with her back towards me trying to sort out the things we brought to show our support in Peters' game tonight.

"Come on the games are about to start, are you ready?" I ask as she hands me one end of the poster.

"I was born ready" she replies enthusiastically.

We both hold up the poster and as soon as we see Peter we start cheering like crazy!!!

We've been through half the game now, and it's half time so now it's my time to get the snacks.

"Hey, if I don't get back in time when they start the game, remember to cheer and that nobody can take this seat." I remind her.

"Of course silly, I know that," she says playfully.

Sasha is not back yet with the snacks and the game is about to start. I take our bags and place them on her seat so nobody takes it and I stand up getting ready to cheer for Peter, I make sure the banner is open and visible for Peter and everyone to see.

The game begins. I start cheering and screaming, saying " Go Peter you can do this woo woo".

I can see all the players getting in position, so focused and determined to win, I cheer for Peter once more saying " yay Peter, we believe in you!! You got this!!!" I scan over the players looking at all the enemies we're up against and suddenly my eyes land on.... well you guessed it, Hayden!

I see him staring at me and looking at what I'm holding, he looks intense and what he's looking at doesn't seem to make him any happier, what's his problem?

Sasha finally gets back, and just in time because damn am I thirsty from all this cheering.

"So, did you cheer as loud as you can?" she asks.

"Of course I did, but I think I'll leave the rest up to you and just sit and watch the game because damn do I feel exhausted," I reply, sinking back into my seat to relax and take a big gulp of my cold drink to quench my thirst.

"ok cool" she replies, whilst removing the bags I put on her chair so she can sit down too, only having to cheer when we score a point.

Hayden's pov

I don't know why I'm so angry, but damn did seeing her cheer for someone else of whom I don't even know gets me worked up!

What makes it even worse is that we LOST by one point!!!

"Hey dude, cheer up it's okay it was just one game, we'll beat them in the next one to come," Luke says trying to make me less annoyed.

"I know, I know, it's just we've trained and we were good," I reply, trying to hide why I'm really annoyed, yes I'm upset that we lost to one point but there's another reason as to why I feel so much more annoyed but I can't let Luke know.

"I'm sure they also trained really hard to beat us today." He says, clearly seeing my pathetic attempt at reasoning as to why we lost.

"You're right, it's nothing," I say, trying to clear my head.

Luke looks at me suspiciously, his eyebrows pinched together...

"Aha I know!!!!" he says as if he's just solved the greatest mystery, "It's not the game you're upset about, I bet you're really upset because that girl was cheering for someone else....." he concludes as if he found the missing piece to a puzzle.

"NO, it's not!!!" I reply angrily like a small child, now knowing that I've clearly indicated he's right.

"Oh yes it is!!!" his voice echoing, "Hayden has a crush, Hayden has a crush." he continues in a teasing childlike manner.

"Okay shut it, stop saying it so loudly, maybe I am upset because she was cheering for someone else.... but that's it!" I say, annoyed at myself for giving away the fact that I was really upset that she was cheering for someone else and now he's never gonna stop going on about it.

"Okay dude but just let go of everything that happened today, let's go out and have fun tonight" he replies.

"Okay cool..." I reply quickly eager to switch conversations.

Anastasia's pov

Sasha and I scream through our lungs saying "Ya-hoo we won we won" as we storm into the house giving Apollo the scare of his life...

"ayyy congrats my dude you brought the winning cup back to our school!" Apollo says in a proud, congratulating voice.

"ahh thanks, man, but it wasn't all me, I have great teammates and an awesome cheer duo to help push us further into winning," Peter replies, giving credit to his team as well as Sasha and I.

"awwee" Sasha and I say in unison.

"That's great to hear but aren't you gonna go party with your team?" Apollo asks, confused as to why Peter is still here and not rushing out the door to celebrate with his teammates.

"Nah, just came to make sure these two would get home safely, and then I'm gonna hit the hay." He responds, already sounding tired.

"Ok cool, thanks man for checking if they came home safely," Apollo says, clearly appreciative that Peter came to make sure we made it home safe and sound.

"My pleasure...." he says as he walks towards the door, "I'll see you guys tomorrow..." he ends with, just as he slowly closes the door to let us finish saying our goodbyes without being rude.

"Okay bye safe travels," Sasha says right before he closes the door.

"Bye," I say quickly as he closes the door.
