"Say my days are numbered but I keep waking up"

Vera's POV

"You were super shy! Oh my God! You like him too?!" Florence says laughing

I don't. Not sure yet but I don't.

"What do you expect me to do? Dude you left me alone without notice. How will I know what to say" I say defending myself.

"Forget that! You were blushing Vera.. You do." she says again.

"I do not" I say

"Okay then. He's not fine anyways" she says folding her arms

What.
Did.
She.
Just.
Say?!

Okay okay. I might not 'like' Tobi but just look at him! His full length dark hair. His well structured face. His amazing height! He's freaking tall. He's literally playing basketball!! His amazing physique. And don't get me started with his smile.. His dimples.. His-

Snap out of it!

I take a deep breath and look at her.

"Nobody's ugly Flo." I say calmly

"Really?" she says laughing
"okay then, Steve is finer than him" she continues

She's asking for it.

"Don't want to start up anything Florence but... Are you BLIND?!! Steve looks like a fucking goblin with elv ears! You can't compare a god to an animal, it's not done that way" I say letting out a sigh

Florence winks at me smiling at me. She raises both eye brows.
Maybe I should have accepted that Steve was better than Tobi.

"okay my goddess, whatever you say. You do" she says

"Look, I don't have time for this, I do not like Tobi!"

I didn't even realise how much I was shouting.
But thank God people only heard his name.

"I heard my name?" Tobi says coming out of no where.
I just hate this universe.

"Oh she was saying she felt bad the way she talked to you on the phone that day" Florence says before I even open my mouth.
Okay, this is the only time I can say that she's a life saver..
"Ohhh. I've told you" he pauses turn only to me
His eyes...

"Its okay now. You don't have to feel bad. You were just upset then" he says smiling

I look down... Feeling my face heating up.

It can't be. No.

"Oh okay.. Glad to know" I say with a choked voice.
How sexy do I sound? I'm so stupid.

"So anyways, I heard you're having a match next Saturday?" Florence says quickly changing the topic. I mouth a "thank you" to her
She's the best.. For now though.

"Yes I am, you're now looking at your new school Captain" he says bowing his head.
Such a gentleman.
"Wowww! That's amazing! Captain." Florence says
"Congratulations.." I say looking up into his eyes.
Brown beauty.
I hate myself.
"Yeah thanks.. Would you like to come to watch me beat Roseveill high?" he asks

Roseveill??

"Of course yes. That's my former school anyways.." I say.
I feel more brave now.

"Won't you feel bad.. Like they'll probably loose. You loved that school I suppose?" he says

That school should go to hell with the people in it!

"Nahhh this is the school I love now" I say smiling
