A/N Sorry it has been so long since I last updated. I have been
busy with school picking back up and work and everything but I plan to
complete this story by the end of next week. So thanks for being patient
and I hope you enjoy the next few chapters.
Salene looked up seeing him as well. "Or you could completely forget about Bray and daydream about the guy you met at a coffee shop." Said Salene under her breath. "Hmm?" Uttered Ebony as she continued to watch the game, her eyes never leaving Jay's form.
At half time Manchester was leading 2-1. The teams left to hydrate themselves on the benches and Ebony and Salene decided to opt for the hot chocolate stand to help warm them up. Apparently they were not the only ones who had this idea because a queue of around 15 people stood at the stand. "I guess everyone had the same idea as us..." Said Salene as she shoved her hands into her coat pocket. "I guess so..." Said Ebony glancing at the people standing in line next to her. "Are you going to ask him?" Said Salene out of the blue. Ebony seemed to snap back to reality. "Ask who what?" She replied. It was obvious she was in a deep thought and could hardly be torn from it. Salene shook her head as she became frustrated with Ebony not paying attention to what she was saying. "What we came here for Ebony. So you could ask Bray to the semiformal. But obviously that Jay guy has gotten to you so, forget it." Said Salene as she payed for their beverages, handing Ebony one before she walked off to sit with Pride's Mother. "Salene..." Ebony started to say before she decided to take a walk to clear her head. Leaning up against the chain link fence she watched the game commence once more. Her drink had cooled enough now for her to be able to drink it without burning her tongue, so she took a long sip savoring the chocolate goodness which was her hot coco. Her ashen eyes looked out over the field, unblinking. She was less concerned with the game than herself. Salene was mad at her, it seemed people always turned on her, not understanding why she did what she did. Manchester won the game 3-1, with an amazing bicycle-kick made by Adams the tall Maori forward. All of the central section's hopes were dashed and they hung their heads as their players returned to the bench to be "debriefed" by the coach. Manchester however was going nuts, as the trophee was being passed around from player to player. Jay was hoisted up onto his teamates shoulders and as he scanned the field something caught his eye, Ebony. His eyes went wide as if he wondered if it really was her or maybe he was just hallucinating. But then she moved, she seemed to be looking in his general direction. Was it possible she was staring at him? The cheers of congrats coming from his friends drew him back to reality but when he tried to make his way out of the crowd to go see her she was gone. Ebony had gone to the parking lot to look for Salene. After ten minutes of waiting on the hood of her car, she finally spotted her talking to a Junior named Chloe. Ebony made her way over to Salene and cleared her throat so she would take notice. "Listen Chloe, I'll catch up with you later, there is something I have to see to." Said Salene as she turned to Ebony, "What do you want Ebony?" Ebony took a breath as she psyched her up for what she was going to say. "Salene, I'm sorry about ignoring you back there. I am still going to ask Bray, it's just that I didn't expect to see Jay again, here of all places. You understand?" Ebony said slowly. Salene kicked the gravel at her feet before giving Ebony her answer. "Yeah, it's fine. So are we still heading to the not so victorious after party?" Ebony smiled. "Yeah, hop in." Ebony said as she unlocked the door to her car and got inside.
