Aireen was sent into the infirmary room since she passed out from extremely exhaustion and sprained her wrist. The final match, which is soccer will be held at the school field at 5.00 pm. Adam has about an hour before the match start and he decided to visit Aireen.
《Adam Blake》
In the infirmary:
I saw Sierra sat beside her bed and Nia also there with his squishy boyfriend, Jake. The nurse was treating Nia's injury where she sprained her shoulder when played tennis earlier. Aireen still unconscious and she looks so calm in her sleep.
I walk closer to Sierra who was wrapping Aireen's sprained wrist with the bandage. "How's she?"
"She's exhausted and sprained her wrist. But she's fine. No worries, Adam."
I'm glad that she was okay.
"Why are you here? You should be at the field right now."
I scratching back of my hair while smiling sheepishly. "W-well I kind of...want to know her... condition, that's all."
Sierra raised her eyebrow before jabbed softly on my stomach. "You like Aireen didn't you, Adam? I can see it all over on your face and you even stuttered!"
What the hell is she's talking about? I rubbed my stomach where she jabbed me. "What?"
"Come on Adam. Stop being an idiot, you are totally into her."
Am I?
"Yes you're, Adam."
Did I just said my thought out loud?
"I don't know Sierra." My mind was so confuse.
"You're really dense, Adam." She sighed heavily. "Think about it for awhile, will you."
I lost for words when heard her.
"She's almost too good for you. But, you will regret it if you let her go." She added.
"I promise to her I won't say anything. So, you need to figure it out yourself."
Promise to her? About what?
"Hey guys, stop with this warm talking, okay. She might be wake up." Nia interrupted. "Besides, Adam wouldn't understand either, he's too dumb." She rolled her eyes.
I still in a deep thought, thinking about what Sierra has said. She might be right, I already fall for Aireen didn't I? That's why my heart always flutter when she's around.
"Hey Adam, we should get going now. The game will start in 45 minutes." That squishy, Jake interrupted, patting my shoulder.
I glanced at Aireen's unconscious body and squeezed her right hand lightly before making my way to the school field with Jake.

"Good evening to all my youth students." Mr Goodwin, a very enthusiastic teacher who looks similar to Lee even they are not related. Well, Lee is only his favourite student and tends to follow all his orders without complaining. He is a sport teacher, who loves to babble about 'youth' same like Bushy Brows. "Okay my youth people, I want all of you to play without any dirty cheats. Or you will get punishment, which is....200 push ups." His student made all of us groaned.
All my friends except Nick were joined Team 1 in this final match against Team 2.
Currently the points collected:
Team 1 : 5 points Team 2: 3 points
If we lose, Team 2 will be the winner since 3 points will be award for the soccer match winning team. And, I promise myself that I'm not gonna let them win.
"Okay guys, do all your best in this final match." Nick gave his support. "Good luck."
All my teammates were cheering out loud before running in a line to the centre of the soccer field.
"Hey dude," I was running backward, facing Sam while extending my fist in front of him. “Let’s kick their ass."
"Tsk, dope," his black-pearl eyes were looking at my hanging fist, waiting for him to bump it. "I will." Our fists then collided together and I could see his right cheek moves a bit as his trying to control it from smiling. Still acting like a cool jerk.
****
It's now the first half time, Team 2 already scored 2 goals out in front of my team which only score a goal. This is not right, we have to put Bushy Brows since he's fast. He's our winning chance, our secret weapon. I told Mr Goodwin about Lee and he's agreed right away, without hesitation.
"Lee, my Lee...."called Mr Goodwin. Lee was sitting at the bench with 3 other reserve players. Mr Goodwin explained everything to him while my teammates and I were resting for awhile before the second half time start.
I was looking at the empty bottle in my hand, thinking about what Sierra had told me. But, a loud shouting suddenly calling for us, interrupting my thought.
"Sam, Good luck!" That's a very familiar voice. We turn in unison to that voice direction.
My eyes widened when I saw Sierra, Nia and especially Aireen waving their hands towards us from their bench.
My heart starts racing fast like it will burst with excited as I saw her smile. My right hand was on my chest feeling every beat of my heart with my eyes closed.
When I opened my eyes again, my gazed was only to her....that girl, Aireen Hermann who making me feel this uncomfortable feeling, making me uneasy and trembling when she's around. And I think, I'm falling in love with her...
The second half time, my teams managed to score another goal, thanks to Bushy Brows’ fast movement. The match was really tense when 15 minutes left now. Tenouji kept force me to pass him the ball, so he could shoot the winning goal. I knew that he was the best player in the last competition, but Kabuto and their team keep surround him. I just can't pass him the ball. I kicked the ball to Sam as I saw him was cleared from the opponents, but Shawn, one of the opponent managed to steal the ball. That's made Tenouji really mad at my action back then.
"Adam, you idiot!" He shouted. I shook my head twice making my wet messy hair flips around before start running as fast as I could to steal back the ball from Shawn.
But suddenly someone tripped my legs, making me rolled over on the field a few metres away. The crowds were screaming in awe as they saw the shameful scene. Luckily, I didn't badly injured, just a little hurt on my ankle.
The referee blew his whistle, and approached me to check my condition. So do my friends, Sam and Jake, helping me to get up.
"Are you okay, boy?" The referee examining my condition.
I just nodded with a grin. "I'm okay."
"Hey dope, don't lie to us." He seems worried about me. "I saw you tripped, your ankle must be twist."
"I'm okay, dude." I declined while jumping in place to prove that I'm okay. I have to endure the pain on my ankle for awhile, so we could win in this game
"If that so, let's continue." The referee said. He then moves closer to Tenouji and give him a warning. He's the one who tripped me, he must hold a grudge against me about the incident 2 days ago.
"Look who's squishy right now." Jake teased me with his arm around my shoulder.
I rolled my eyes."Shut up, Jake!"
He just laughing out loud, seems enjoying my embarrassment moment so much.
《Aireen Hermann》
I saw Adam flipped his messy-bronze hair. Oh my, he looks so dashing. I quickly cover my cheeks as I felt a sudden warm heat on them. Blushing again...
Suddenly, I heard everyone was screaming in shocked and some of them even covered their mouth as they saw something horrible. Sierra and Nia also seemed in shocked.
"What happened?" I asked both of them but they didn't hear me. My heart was racing, something's not right just happened. I turned to the field and saw Adam was lying on the ground.
He's injured! That guy, Tenouji, he tripped Adam. Why did he injured his own teammate? Could he be mad about the incident, 2 days ago? I saw Adam jumped in place, maybe to prove to the worrying Sam that he's okay. I could tell his ankle twisted, and pretends that he's not.
Tenouji had been warned by the referee before the match starts again, 15 minutes left before it end. Another one goal to win this game, Lee ran fast enough with the ball and passed it to Sam who was near to the goal.
The opponents were trying to steal the ball from him, but swiftly passes it to Adam to score the winning goal when he has the chance. Adam then kicks the ball into the goal and immediately the referee blows his whistle as the match time end.
Our team won the match! Adam scored the winning goal. Team 1 won the competition.
The crowds cheered happily especially the students from Team 1. All of them shouted Adam's name in unison, some of them also approaching the Team 1 players and haul Adam into the air cheering for him altogether.

The awards party:
《Adam Blake》
I was struggling with my tie in front of the mirror. "How to tie this thing, dude!"
I saw Sam shook his head who was waiting for me at the sofa. "What an idiot."
"Here let me help you, dope." Sam sighed heavily, then helps me tying that stupid tie while I'm fixing my messy-bronze hair.
"Thanks, dude. I think I couldn't live without you, believe it." I teased him.
I extended my arms to hug him but instead got pushed away, making me fall on my bed.
"Stop playing around, idiot!"
"Haha...but you like it don't you."
I was laughing out loud when he glared at me and threw a pillow straight to my face.
"Stop it, will you." He sounded frustrated.
This jerk, always take serious when I'm joking around.
"My hair is ruined now!" I wailed as rushing to the in front of the mirror.
He ignored. "Let's go now, they might be waiting for us."
"Yeah yeah....I'm coming." I rolled my eyes. I fixed my hair a bit before went to the student hall where the party being held.
****
The girls are not here yet. Geez, always late in everything....
"Hi Adam," a girl approached me. "You look so hot ."
"S-Sally." My eyes widen as I glanced to the girl. She was wearing a creamy dress with high heels and her bronze hair looks a little wavy. She was right beside me when suddenly grabbing my right arm and trying to flirt with me.
"Adam, why didn't you compliment me. Don't you think I'm look pretty today?"
I gave her a fake smile while trying to remove her hand from my arm. "Yes....I mean...you look well."
She seemed displeased with my words and tightened more her grip making me feel uncomfortable. Argh...this girl doesn't know how to give up didn't her. Her hand moves slightly to my face as my eyes become wider and wider as she starts to caress my cheeks.
"Sally, please stop it," I pushed aside her hand and took a step back from her.
"Hey Adam, look who's coming." Cameron just save my ass from this girl. I owe you one, man. He put his hand on my shoulder and pointing to the door where three girls were entering the hall.
I appeared to be slack-jaw when I saw three gorgeous girls walking closer to us. The first girl is Nia Yamanaka who wears a purple strapless dress with a sling bandage on her right shoulder, but still looks beautiful as usual. The second girl is my old crush, Sierra Johnson who wears a simple short pink dress. And the last girl is Aireen Hermann who looks so elegant in that lavender chiffon dress. Although her left wrist still in bandage, she still looks beautiful, making my heart beating faster.
"Hello boys," Nia greeted us first. She turned to Sally who still standing with us. "Why are you here? Trying to flirt with Adam again."
She crossed her arms and whimpered before leaving our group.
I shuddered when Sierra and Nia glared at me.
Principal Trevor walks closer to the microphone followed by her assistant Miss Dekker. They were about to start the award ceremony.
"The St John Sport Festival.... this year's victory is Team 1!" Principal Trevor was holding a big silver trophy when she announced the winner.
All crowds greeted the announcement with applause and cheers.
"Congratulations." She said while extending the trophy as Nick standing in front of her.
"Thank you." Nick Hermann who wears a black suit took the trophy from granny and thanked her politely. The Hermann must be really a noble family, seeing Nick and Aireen always in polite manner in everything. He then raised the trophy into the air and all Team 1 members were cheering loudly including me.
****
" 'sup guys, let's start the party now!" The DJ which at the corner of the hall starts the party by playing the music. The students start to dance at the centre of the hall while my group still talking with each other since Nick congratulated us and appreciated with our hard work.
I was looking at Aireen when Cameron patting my shoulder. "Oi Adam, why are drooling when looking at Aireen?"
I coughed a little bit. “No I'm not!"
His evil smile appeared. “Yes you're." He poked my body repeatedly, forcing me to tell the truth.
"You're so busybody, you know." I swatted his hand.
"Just tell her that you like her. Or someone gonna get her."
I took a glance to Aireen. I'm too scare to tell her. Too scare to be reject. Enough with Sierra once, I'm going to die if she rejects me too.
I shook my head. "I don't know dude."
He sighed heavily. "You're really a coward, idiot." He left me and joined with the others. I was standing alone, looking at the beautiful heiress.
I walk closer to the counter which serve three kind of drinks champagne with alcoholic, champagne without alcoholic which separated with the soft drinks.
I took a glass of champagne at the left side of the counter and drank it all it once not knowing that it contains alcohol. After that, I went outside of the hall, avoiding the loud music from the inside.
My whole body feel warm and cozy in a sudden, and excited feeling hits me when I heard my favourite song was playing. I think I'm drunk....that champagne must be contains alcohol.
"Adam," that angelic voice, the voice was calling my name. The voice from my dreams, my angel.
I search for the owner voice by walking around in stagger. I saw a lady with dirty blonde hair approaching me. She looks familiar.
"A-are you okay, Adam." She is my angel. Their voice are the same.
****
《Aireen Hermann》
I looked for Adam since he was missing from the party. I search for him at the outside of the hall and saw him walking stagger like he was drunk.
Did he drank the teacher's champagne? He looks so...drunk.
I called his name as he walks closer to me. I managed to catch him as he almost tripped his legs.
"A-are you okay, Adam?" I asked.
He smiled and gazed into my eyes without saying anything. His blue ocean eyes were glittering beautifully making me drowning in them, when he suddenly said. "I love you."
He loves me?
His face was close to mine and slowly getting closer as he was about to kiss me. I could smell alcohol in his breath as his lip was centimetres away from my lip.
His warm lip kissed mine softly with his eyes closed. My heart was pounding out of my heart when our lips brushed. The kissed end a few seconds later when his chin suddenly on my shoulder.
Did he just passed out on me? Oh my, he's heavy.
