Opposites Attract

Chapter 20 ★彡

Just as she was about to approach them, She sensed an uneasy atmosphere between the two. After Ash walked away from the other guy, the honey blonde stride towards him.

"Oh hey, Serena!" The heartthrob's face illuminated with joy once he saw her.

Serena involuntarily blushed. Although she was the one that requested it, she was still not used to being called by her actual name.

It gave her a tingling feeling in her chest.

"What are you doing here?" She cleared her throat and kept her composure. "The competition starts in less than half an hour."

"Were you worried about me?" Ash smirked, causing the colour of her face to deepen.

"O-of course I am. I'm scared that you'll do something unpredictably reckless." She cross her arms with a pout.

Ash just chuckled and patted her on the head. The honey haired girl looked at the ground as his hand slid from her head to the left side of her face.

Her heart pounded ferociously in her chest as the raven haired boy leaned closer towards her. Serena held her breath. He paused just as their faces were merely a centimetre apart, as if he was considering the consequences of what he's doing. After a moment, he pulled back.

The honey blonde felt a tinge of disappointment while she exhaled in relief, her face burning with embarrassment.

"Don't worry about me," Ash shrugged a smile as he turned around. He held on hand up in a peace sign, and Serena giggled. He looked back at her with a grin.

"Just watch me slay."

The school's gym were packed with throngs of people. The honey haired girl spun her head from left to right in astonishment. There were even people from TV stations and camera crews.

As expected from Kalos High, theirs basketball reputation was more than just high.

She sweat dropped as she realized that in the front of the seats were Ash's fan club, who were screaming with excitement.

After everything had been set up and everyone took a seat in the bleachers, the teams entered the court. The ground shook as everyone started cheering.

Ash's team included Ash, Gary, Calem, Paul, and Trip.

From the other team, Serena noticed that the boy that Ash was talking to earlier. "Who's that?" She muttered to herself.

"That's Alain, the ace of Kalos High's basketball team!" A vivacious voice exclaimed, making the honey blonde jolt up in surprise.

"My bad, did I scare you?" Serena turned around to see a girl with hazel hair, tied in two pig tails and emerald green eyes. If she remembered correctly, this girl was recognized by the name of Shauna.

"Oh it's no problem. I haven't gotten the chance to thank you for what you did on the roof the other day. Thank you." Serena bowed in gratitude, and Shauna waved her off.

"It's no problem, I just did what I thought was right," she grinned, and Serena smiled back. "I'll explain a little about how basketball works. There are two teams, which each have five players on court. The game contains of four quarters in total, each are eight minutes. The normal shots are worth two points, while the far shots are worth three. Oh also, free shots are worth one point."
