Chapter 10: Texting.

Ayesha pov.
"You soooo like him" Diana said referring to Wardell
"I do not!" I replied
"Girl puh-lease. The sexual tension between you two is real"
"Yea ok" I scoffed
"So you don't want to kiss him and you don't want him to like you. And you don't blush every time he says something to you" Sophie said
"No" I said. Did I want these things. No. Of course not,this is Stephen Curry you are talking about. The boy who you hate? Do I hate him? Yes I do and that's that. Right?
"Watchu thinking about" Diana asked
"Nothing just tired" I said truthfully-ish. It was late because we binge watched a bunch of random tv shows.
"K I'm going asleep" I said yawning
"Me 2"Diana said
"Me 3"Soph said. I layed down but for some reason I couldn't go to sleep. Bzzzz my phone went off. Everyone was asleep so I looked at it.

Ayesha pov.
I woke up feeling good, like a weight has been lifted but I don't know what it was. I looked around to see that I'm alone.They probably already woken up. I got out of bed and walked downstairs and I saw Soph and Di on the sofa playing on their phones. "When did u wake up" I asked
"Bout 10 minutes ago. We tried waking you up but you didn't so we came downstairs." Sophie explained
"Oh"
"You going to the basketball game today" Di asked
"No why" I replied
"Just asking". I walked into the kitchen and made us some breakfast. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Shit it's Steph's birthday. I ran upstairs to my phone.
A:Hey forgot 2 say Happy birthday 🥳
W: it's cool. Thx. U commin to the game today
A:Uumm
W: aww come on! As a birthday gift😊
A: fine I'll come
W: Thanks I'll win 4 u
A:you better😄
I walked back downstairs. "I guess I'm going to the game" I sighed
"What I thought you weren't"
"Yea but Curry forced me t-"
"Wait Stephen how?" Di asked
"I wished him happy birthday the he said as a birthday gift I had to go to the game" I explained
"He said you had to?" Soph asked
"Yea."
"You could've just said no"Di added
"I did not want to be mean"
"Suuuure" they both said
We all got dressed and were getting ready to go to school. My parents went somewhere with my sister and stayed in a hotel. I was wearing a white tube top, black jeans, a black denim jacket and some black boot heels(a/n don't know how to describe the shoes so just imagine it). We drove to school and went to our lockers. As soon as I closed my locker I heard the volume of the corridor increase.I turned around to see the basketball team getting high fives and people wishing them good luck on the game. The team passed except obviously Wardell and his friends.
"You still coming to the game?"Steph asked me
"I said I would didn't I" I replied looking in to his eyes
"Well you better. I need my good luck charm" he said walking closer. At that moment I had butterflies, but I knew what he's doing, he was trying to get me flustered.
"Nice try Wardell but I will not be getting flustered today." I said poking him in the chest
"Well played ishibo" he replied
"Hold up. Who's Wardell and who's ishibo" Klay said, whilst the others looked just as confused as him.
"Shit!" Me and Steph said at the same time
"Well?" Di added
"Ok fine. Ishibo is an old nickname Curry calls me and Wardell is actually Steph's first n-" I looked over to him and he was looking at me with pleading eyes. Sighed and said" It was his first nickname that I gave him when we were kids"
He looked relieved that i never revealed it was his first name."soooo why are you guys calling it each other now"Dray asked. We both just shrugged and started walking to class. We came to the end of the corridor with the others catching us."soo I'll see you at the game" Steph asked
"Yep" I said popping the 'p'
"Good" he said as he moved his finger against my exposed skin on my stomach, leaving me with goosebumps. Once the others caught up Steph whispered. "What were you saying about not getting flustered"
"I-I-I'm not" I managed to get out.
"Your not what" Soph said. I was still dazed so I just said,"nothing let's just get to class". We all walked away from each other.
"See you at the game" Wardell shouted as he entered his class. Ok I have to admit I was a bit flustered. I mean it felt so nice when he- UUGH shut up Ayesha you DO NOT like him and he NEVER got you flustered.
God what was he doing to me.
