Heartstopper POV

4 - Crush (3)

They chat about practice and the match

Alana ends up putting her airpods in, as Lily talks about the date she had with Daniel and how nice he was

Alana listens to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

Alana and Abbie pass a Rugby ball between themselves as Abbie chats away with the other girls

Lily noticed Alanas not listening and feels a bit guilty

Alana takes out an airpod

Alana: I'm gonna go find Imogen. I'll see you girls later yeah?

Hannah and Sophie say "Ooh" and Abbie wolf whistles

Abbie: Have fun.
Alana: * chuckles and rolls her eyes* Oh shut up.
Lily: * frowns, confused* What?
Sophie: Alana and Imogen have been flirting. We caught them just earlier when they walked in together. Imogens very touchy with her.
Alana: * smiles* Oi. Mind keeping my love life to yourself?
Hannah: Go have fun with your girlfriend.
Alana: She's not my girlfriend.

Alana leaves and finds Imogen, dragging her somewhere private but still in watching distance

Alana whispers to Imogen about the plan to make Lily jealous

Imogen laughs and agrees to go along with it

Hannah: Let's try and see what exactly they're saying?

Imogen touches Alanas arm and smiles, "flirting" as much as possible with her

Alana smiles and leans against the wall, talking and "flirting" with Imogen, fiddling with her fingers as they hold hands

Lily starts getting jealous of this

Abbie: You alright there Lils? You seem tense?

Abbie, Sophie and Hannah share a knowing look

Lily: I'm fine. Just got a bad taste in my mouth.
Sophie: That doesn't sound nice.
Lily: It isn't.

Eventually the bell goes and everyone goes inside

Alana sits on the table infront of Darcy and Tara, talking with them and Elle

Elle: You nervous for the game Al?
Alana: As I'll ever be. But I'm sure we'll be fine. St. Peters don't stand a chance.
Darcy: Damn right. Your gonna smash it.
Alana: Thanks Darc.
Darcy: How's it going with--?
Alana: She has a boyfriend. I'm trying to move on.
Tara: I saw you and Imogen this morning. Since when was she into girls?
Alana: God knows. She's doing me a favour.
Elle: Sounds intriguing.
Alana: * smiles* It might be.
Tara: Know who did seem jealous about that?
Alana: Who?
Tara: Lily.

Alana laughs

Alana: Funny.
Tara: I'm serious.

Abbie walks in

Abbie: Someone got jealous this morning. Meaning the plan worked. And she does like you.
Alana: * chuckles* Tara told me already.
Abbie: Damn it.

The girls laugh at Abbies reaction

Abbie: It's fair to say.... There'll be a few cross words later at training or the match. Which is in 10 minutes just so you know.
Alana: What training?
Abbie: Yeah. The match is an hour away. But we need to train. So register here and then leave. That's what coach said to do.
Alana: Sounds great.

They sit down and then Abbie, Alana and some of the other Rugby Girls leave for training

In the changing rooms

Alanas putting on her Rugby boots

Lily sits beside her, putting her shirt on last as she usually does
