When October and Rebecca got to the museum they saw that a soccer match was going on. It was the Vikings vs. Atilla, his huns and Ahkmenrah.
"What's the score?" Rebecca Larry.
"The Vikings have one point and Ahkmenrah's team has six points."
"Go Ahkmenrah!" October cheered.
"There's five minutes left in the game." October looked at who spoke and saw a kid around ten years old.
"Who's that?"
"Oh this is my son Nick. Nick this is Rebecca's sister October."
"Nice to meet you." Nick said.
"Like wise. I bet you feel like the luckiest kid in the world knowing about this museum."
"Yeah, it's really cool."
"I'm surprised they are playing fairly." October said as she turned her attention back to the game. "You would think they would be fighting for the ball."
"Well, Ahkmenrah knows how to make people play fairly." Larry said.
The game was almost over and the score was now tied, seven to seven. Whoever scored this last goal would be the winners. One of the Vikings had the ball, but one of the Huns stole the ball. He went to kick the ball in the goal, but another Viking came and took the ball. He was almost at the goal when Ahkmenrah came and took the ball. He ran to the other goal and kicked the ball into the goal. The Viking tried to block it, but the ball slipped past him and Ahkmenrah's team won. Everyone went to congratulate them. Once the crowd cleared out October walked up to Ahkmenrah.
"Congrats on scoring the winning goal."
Ahkmenrah turned around and smiled. "Thank you."
Wow, he has a cute smile. October thought.
"Did you have a good day?"
"I had a wonderful day. Rebecca and I hung out and it was fun…up until we went shopping."
"I take it you don't like shopping?"
"No way. She made me try on so many clothes. Then she dragged me to the make up section and bought me a whole lot of it."
"You should wear your new make up some time. I would love to see how it looks on you."
October blushed. "Well, maybe I will wear it one of these days."
"What happened to your hand?" Ahkmenrah asked as he noticed her hand was wrapped.
"Oh I just had a little incident this morning. No big deal."
Just then October's phone rang. She looked at the number and gave an irritated sigh. October flipped open her phone.
"Why can't you get the hint that I want to be left alone?" October said as she walked a few ways from Ahkmenrah.
"I'm done with you so stop calling me. I told you before that I'm not going to give you a second chance. Get over it." Then she slammed her phone shut.
"What was that?" Ahkmenrah asked as he walked up to her.
"Nothing important."
"You were upset."
"I'll get over it. Come on let's go back to the others." October said as she grabbed his hand and headed towards the others.
"Hey October, we are going to start another soccer match. Do you want to join?" Larry asked.
"No, that's ok. I'll just watch."
"I think you should play." Ahkmenrah said. "I would love to watch you play."
"Bad idea. Me plus running equals clumsiness."
"Kind of what happened this morning?" Rebecca said.
"Yeah. I'm not doing it."
"Is the missy afraid of a little soccer match?"
October looked over on the desk and saw Jededaiah.
"I am not afraid. I'm just worried about tripping."
"No one will laugh at you." Ahkmenrah said.
October sighed. She knew when she was defeated. "All right."
She let go of Ahkmenrah's hand and went Columbus' side. Wait…let go of Ahkmenrah's hand? Had she been holding his this whole time? Did anyone else notice? October could feel her face turning red. Luckily no one saw that.
The game started and October was praying that she wouldn't trip. She kept her eyes down to watch her every step and where the ball was.
They were almost through the game and October's team was down by one point. Columbus kicked the ball to October and she was about to kick the ball into the goal, but the thing she fear happened. She wasn't sure if she tripped over her feet or the ball, but she fell on her face. She could fell her face turning red from embarrassment.
"October, are you all right?" Ahkmenrah asked as he helped her up.
"I told you what would happen." October was looking down, afraid they would all laugh.
"But no one is laughing."
October looked up at him then around the room. He was right.
"And you scored the winning goal. Congratulations."
October smiled. "Thanks."
"Well October, it's getting late." Rebecca said. "We should get going."
"Ok. I'll see you later, Ahkmenrah." Then she and Rebecca left.
"I saw that." Larry said as he walked up to Ahkmenrah.
"Saw what?"
"You two were holding hands. Something you want to tell me?"
"We were only holding hands because she dragged me over here."
"If you say so." Larry smiled.
At the same time Rebecca and October were talking about the same thing.
"So I saw you and Ahkmenrah holding hands."
"So? I just dragged him where everyone else was." October said like it was nothing.
"Then why didn't you let go when you got there?"
"I just forgot I was holding his hand."
Rebecca laughed. "How can you forget that?"
"It's very easy to do."
"Are you blushing?"
"No." October tried to hide her face."
"You are blushing."
"No I'm not."
"Keep denying it, but I can clearly see you're blushing."
They soon got home and right as October's head hit the pillow she was asleep and her dreams were only about Ahkmenrah.
