CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Chloe
Unplanned Reward
People surround our basketball team. Running, jumping and simultaneously talking to them. I don’t know if to congratulate, praise or just want to get noticed. They all had a smile on their lips. Men and women, even I can't say what gender surrounds them. I watched them all from up here as people slowly ate Marco's presence. I can see how much people praise him. How they notice him.
Why can't I do that to him? Why do we need someone else to do that? Whenever he was near, I lost myself, stuttered and seemed to have lost my tongue. My chest was throbbing so hard that it seemed like my heart wanted to lose to the cage. I don't know why am I so badly affected by him.
"Come on! Let's greet them." Isabella invites us.
"Are you crazy? There's almost a stampede down there. Then you want us to join?" Bethany complained.
"It'll be later when people calm down," Lauren suggested. Monica and Everly agreed and that is exactly what we did.
