Monday came too soon, and I wasn't mentally ready yet to go back to school. I don't know what hit me when I decided to come back. Still, I don't fully regret it so far.927Please respect copyright.PENANAax4p7jWmE9

Today was the basketball match, in which our team is playing aginst another school. They told me they were easy opponents so they didn't really doubt winning. But confidence isn't always right, so let's just cheer them on and see what'll happen.927Please respect copyright.PENANA0aaLc3SLGf

Since the basketball jerseys are in maroon color, I wore a maroon shirt to get into the spirit with ripped jeans, much to Mr. Horne's dislike. I accessorized with a triple necklace and a gray beanie. I put on my shoes then waited for the guys to finish so we could leave for school.927Please respect copyright.PENANASllmyhSmVG

"GO BABY!" A squeaky, ear-piercing voice sounded behind me. It was nonother than my dearest friend Amber. Despite her obvious disinterest in the game, Amber only came for Tyler of course, who blew her a kiss from the distance. God, these two!927Please respect copyright.PENANAPtsqmBba7M

I'd recently learned that Denise's family is actually quite loaded. Her dad owns several prestigious hotels in different states and countries, including Paris and Dubai. Her parents are really strict when it comes to her education that they once tried to send her back to her old private school. She eventually started skipping classes then running away from home till they promised they'll never interfere again. All she had to do was take care of her studies and prove herself to them so they'd get out of her hair.927Please respect copyright.PENANApLR4yK6rJR

While we wait for the game to start. Denise talks about the Fall Festival coming up and how stressful it is to manage it. I see Ryan in the distance warming up and stretching his arms. He looked damn good in his basketball uniform like a professional athlete who's about to go nationals. He walks towards the bleachers and looks around, but his eyes miss me. Denise nudges me and points her head at him. I try to move over the people and pass through till I reach the bottom of the stadium.927Please respect copyright.PENANAhsX99bbfWh

"Well then," he suddenly brings his leg up on the bleachers and climbs up swiftly. He holds the metal for support as he pushes himself forward to kiss me.
