Chapter 4 His Crush

Amelia

I slide the phone to answer his call, " I didn't see you today at the basketball training court, guess you left early?"

How to wish he knows how tired I am, he won't bother himself calling me and bringing up this topic, I know him very well after we end a topic, he comes up with another one and his good at talking for hours without getting tired.

" We had a fight with the mean girls and got punished for it, that's the reason you didn't see us at the basketball court," I said tiredly to him on call.

He laughed on the phone, " Starlight and Mean girls, when will you both ever agree, sorry about that anyway"

Is he for real now, that's all he has to say, well maybe because they don't get on his nerves?

" We have doubled our training, the game between our school and the Eagle high school is fast approaching, we can't afford to lose"

" Oh that's true, I almost forgot, don't worry we the starlight always got your back along with your team, we will cheer for you". After saying this, I yawned

" Gosh do you wish to eat me up on the phone", he teased.

" Gael I guess you have a death wish right ?" We laughed and he ended the discussion saying," I will let you be now, seems you exhausted, catch some sleep but I will be treating you lunch tomorrow"

" Whatever," I said, " goodnight Amelia", I ended the call, covered with my blanket and I slept off.Lorenzo

Some of the Lycans questioned the senior Lycans, to the extent that confusion filled the atmosphere, " why do we have our enemies with us, the vampires"

" Did we cross the boundary and kidnapped them to start a war"

" If they are the ones that crossed the boundary to us, we better kill them and keep it clean but if they wish to start the war, we accept, moreover, we are stronger and faster than the vampires in our lycans state".

They kept on talking and talking, what I thought of is that" if we are the ones that crossed the boundary and kidnapped the vampires, it's a sign of war and am not ready to start a war, I just want to enjoy and just have fun with different ladies this period and not going to fight".

The alpha, my father silence them with his scream as a Lycan,' whooooooooowhooo", they all kept silent.

" We are the Lycans, even if we crossed the boundary or not, we are stronger than the vampires, now we have the enemy in our court, we kill and eat them as dinner"

They all cheered that was when Ravi the messenger bed came in with a letter from the vampires. The lycans in charge of reading took the letter and proceeded in reading after father's approval.

The minute he finished reading out the content, the hall became calm, " oh no, we can't kill the vampires, they have our kinds, it's better we send back the vampires in other for them to release our kinds. Both kinds broke the law by crossing the boundary" I spoke out loud.

Hopefully, they buy my idea, father informed the senior Lycans for them to think over the situation before taking any step, the meeting got over and each lycans left the hall.

I headed straight to my room, then my close friend Santiago came in, he just exactly like me, we sometimes have sex with different ladies together, such wild fun for us, I guess the reason for his coming is to have fun, the father will surely make the right choice for peace to reign but I need to feel some bitches.

Amelia

I had a bad dream that got me scared, I woke up with fear written all over me and I notice I was sweating profusely.

I wondered if it was the book I read at the library that's affecting my dreamland, I saw some scary creatures, the war got so bloody that some lost their lives.

" Amelia it's just a dream"

I did my normal morning routine, greeted my parents as we cook dinner together.

They started their argument, I just left saying, " I don't want to be late for school"

I walked, as usual, stopped by the laundry man's shop," good morning" I said, he complimented me, I left his shop after giving him my uniform to work on.

I always love passing the beautiful house that looks like a castle that got abandoned before boarding a taxi.

My best friends waiting for me, as usual, to go to our classes together, I just remembered we are having maths this morning," I hate maths", I said to Chloe.

"Me too" she added, " you both are so lazy, how come I have you both as my friends", Sofia said and we chased her, laughing in excitement as we entered the class.

The maths teacher came in, ugly like the subject she teaches, she requested for us to submit her assignment with the answer sheet.

I looked at Chloe and she looked at me too, it's a sign we forgot to do it and we can't afford another punishment today.

Sofia whisper to us giving us an answer shit each, " you both owe me pizza and Chocolate ice cream, I just saved your lazy ass, I know you won't do the assignment"

" Oh Sofia, you such a lifesaver", I said to her and Chloe appreciated her. Then the maths teacher hits our desk making us get shocked, "submit now" she frowned at us.

After our morning class section, we took a walk when Gael approached us, " hi ladies, would you mind if I snatch Amelia from you for some minutes", he requested.

Chloe and Sofia agreed instantly, " this dude is crushing on you, this time around give him a chance", Sofia whispered and Chloe nodded.

I rolled my eyeballs in frustration," both of you get lost"

" Remember I said to you on call last night that I will be treating you lunch after class"

" Of cause I remembered", I replied.

We walked hand in hand to the cafeteria, I ordered spicy spaghetti and he went with rice.

We discussed lots of things, I tried changing the topic whenever he brings up the idea of him crushing on me and wants us to be a couple.

" I like you, Amelia, I will wait till you are ready, am always comfortable around you, I bought you this"

Wow a necklace, " thank you Gael"

The girls came in and informed us saying," Gael time for your training, Amelia time for our rehearsal, remember we are cheering for the game coming up soon" Sofia informed us.

I got carried away with his discussion but thank God for the amazing friends I have, we stood up and headed to the basketball court together where we passed the mean girls, they looked at us in rage and jealousy. Gael left us joining his basketball team.

I told Sofia and Chloe about the gift he gave to me and they keep saying I should date him.

"I want to date someone that I will love with the whole of my heart and not forcing the love on someone I don't have feelings for" saying this to my friends, they gave up on the topic and focused on rehearsal.

The game

Amelia

Rehearsal going pretty well, just uncomfortable today, Gael keeps on staring at me while doing his training.

I won't lie, his cute and got tempting lips but I can't accept him because of his looks, I prefer to accept someone that my heart yawn for, the fact remains that I don't even know who!!!! Mmmmmm!! Maybe when I get admitted to college I might meet him since am not lucky to find someone in high school yet.

We got the perfect step which we are going to use in cheering the Nobles team on the main day, we just need to rehearse more to make it more perfect and the songs as well, we need something our body can move with.

And it's a wrap, rehearsal got finished, Chloe and Sofia doing their normal thing flirty with the handsome players.

I got carried away, arranging my school bag, immediately I stood up, I felt a hand around my waist, this sent some flirty signal to my body, the way he placed his hands and turned me around facing him, maintaining eye contact with him, it's Gael, I can feel his breath from here and his wet lips became attractive that I almost lost my senses, " guess you enjoyed the rehearsal", he said, I swallowed saliva before replying so uncomfortably, "it's great, we are getting towards perfection already"

" I know we can always count on the Starlight, your cheering is like a charm that always makes us win"

I removed his hands from my waist, taking two steps backward, I believed he understood I was already suffocating.

" Am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable", he pleaded.

" It's nothing, am ok, just don't want people around to get the wrong message", I said faking my laugh

After a pause, he said," am not ashamed to tell the full school you are my girlfriend if you give me the chance"

"Oh no, he's at it again, I need to change this topic", I said to myself mentally.

" Well Gael thanks for the gift today, I need to get going now"

" Can I walk you out before you get a taxi, please don't say no" I just had to accept his pleading as we walked out of the school together.

I excused myself for a minute to bid goodbye to my friends already outside the school telling them we see the next day, they got the wrong impression, mostly Chloe, " guess your new lover is going to take you home or you going over to his place for some quicken"

" I hate you Chloe", I said frustrated with what she mentioned " I love you girlfriend", we laughed, hugging ourselves, I took my leave saying," He just wants to walk me to the place I take a taxi from, so better wipe off those negative thought from your head", Sofia added, " yes milady"

" Let's go", I said to Gael, we walked hand in hand as we talked about lots of things, mostly about College, the truth is, I don't know the college I would love to apply for yet.

I got to the spot I love boarding taxis, " thanks for your company Amelia, I owe you one".

" Come on Gael, you don't owe me anything, we are friends remember, see you at school tomorrow and make sure you practice more to win the game coming up"

" I promise to train more and win it for you"

" Good, am counting on your words, bye for now", the driver zoomed off to my parent's house, I made the payment coming down from the taxi."

Dimitro

Sleeping at my coffin, as usual, no disturbance from anyone apart from the lady I always see in my dream.

I wonder why these dreams, I just don't wish to see her in reality, I will so fall deeply in love with her than the way I already did.

Maybe I should just call her my invisible lover that I don't plan to meet.

Who knows, she might be human, if she is human then we can't love each other, father said the Queen forbid the humans to have contact with our kinds.

Sometimes I think of visiting the human world, I always get bored in this place, I wish our kinds and theirs still live a peaceful life with the lycans it would have been great but I doubt if such a thing can ever happen, now we are at war and I feel this time around, it might be bloody.

The question ringing in my head till now is, "where are the witches", father said, they exile themselves because they feared the lycans.

I still don't buy that story.

My maid came in as usual with my drink, I drank every bit of it, it's long I had sex, about one hundred years back, but I can't do it with my maid.

I headed to father's quarter asking him if the lycans have sent a message," no my son, they haven't and we still hope they respond quickly, if they harm our kinds with them, then it's going to be a bloody war"

" Father please let's exercise a little patient"

" I hope it's worth it, see you at the training ground with your brother"

" Alright father", I hate the sound of the word "war".

Amelia

The deal day's today, the game, everyone is excited already, lots of friends and family came to support their Children participating, all seated already.

Chloe, Sofia, and I already at the dressing room with the others putting on our cheering outfits, we decided to go with pink and white outfits this time around and those holding the letters of the nobles were all in white outfits.

We came together, I brought out my hands first," we got this all, united we always stand" I said, others did same and we shouted in excitement saying," Nobles team all the way"

The referee called on the host which is our team, The Nobles, and also the opponent team was called the Eagles.

It's time to toss the coin, the captain from both had to come forward, the visitor team called the toss first, luckily for us it landed in our favor meaning we are the ones to start the game.

We came out in excitement, did our dance, and cheered out," Nobles all the way", the visitors did the same.

The whistle was blown and the game started, I got discouraged seeing the visitors taller than our players, they even Injured some of our players, it seems they are after the captain Gael because he's so good with the ball.

They scored higher points already and we still lacking behind. I saw in Gael eyes his losing hopes, we cheered louder and I felt he remembered his promise, and The Nobles are back on their feet when they scored some points, he winks at me and I smiled.

To be continued.
