"Let's agree that that did definitely not just happen."
🏀G A S T O N🏀

My stupid brother and his stupid best friend were idiots. I did not want to spend another Friday night just so I could watch them play basketball.

Gaston dragged me, even persuaded my mom, to their stupid game. I didn't like basketball and I will never like it, especially if the game consisted of Gaston and Percy Goody-good shoes.

I huffed in anger as I sat on the red bleachers of the basketball court. Everyone was cheering for someone. It was moments like this that the most places which were packed with people, made me feel the most lonely.

The boys went to the locker rooms to prepare before the start the game in 15 minutes. The court was packed with too much bodies, I could hardly see which is which. This is probably because it's the semi-finals and it's a pretty big deal to a lot of students.

Finally, the whistles blew signifying the start of the match. The Jaguars, the opponents, came out to the field first. Braxton Highschool, known for their obsession in sports, which made it a hard opponent for Rivendale High. The team wore royal blue and golden yellow uniforms, which was their theme, after all. Our school, Leopards, however, wore red and white uniforms which made me remember High School Musical.

Not that I had anything against basketball but the only games I've watched were on movies. I have not experienced it live, ever. The first round started and I could barely keep up with the ball, they kept on passing it around. I have to admit, Percy had moves. Even my donkey-assfaced brother had enough skill for him to shoot baskets.

Halfway through the game, I was hooked. The game was almost over, both teams were sweating and very tired. Unfortunately, both teams were also a tie. "10...9...8...-" People began chanting and I found myself quite interested with this so I started chanting, too. Everyone was on the edge of their seats, waiting if who wins.

Five seconds. My brother had the ball in his hands and was putting it towards their goal.

Three seconds. The ball was already passed onto Percy's gigantic palms as he drifted towards the edge.

One second. Everyone erupted from their seats, including me. Percy jumped and shot the ball towards the basket, a three-point shooter. And then the game was over. Everyone ran to the court to congratulate Leopards.

I walked silently, ashamed that I actually enjoyed it despite complaining to my brother. Everyone was congratulating someone and I couldn't help but realize how antisocial I was without my friends. Somehow, I kept imagining the whole school population to sing We're all in this together just like that did in the first movie.

When they didn't, I sighed and looked for the boys. "Looking for us?" Percy, out of no-fucking-where, just appeared in front of me.

"I'm surprised, Stonebrook. You actually knew how to shoot a ball. And, eww! You stink!" I said, to which he replied by sniffing his armpits. It made me cringe. It was normal to do that but not in public.

"Come on. I know you love sweat!" He started edging towards me, which made me pull up a funny face. I expected him to stop and laugh so that he'd forget his mission, to gross me out. Unfortunately, he was too set on his goal.

Percy rubbed his sweaty arms on my face. "Gross! What are you, kindergarten?" I was very much annoyed but, considering how this didn't affect me much, I seem to be in a pretty good mood.

"Hey, Stonebrook!" Both of us turned to where the voice came from. As if on cue, my egotistical brother came parading towards our direction.

"Hey man! Good game!" Both guys did a secret handshake as I stood there, waiting patiently for them to finish.

"Hey, little sis. Enjoyed the game?" Before I could protest, Percy beat me into speaking first. "Shouldn't we shower before we go? I'm afraid of her-", he motioned his hands to me, "-throwing up on my car."

I rolled my eyes as both of them laughed. "Funny." I said and followed them to the lockers room. One glance and I knew that going in there would be hell, "I'm just gonna wait out here."

Percy smirked at this. Apparently, me being uncomfortable was amusing to him. "Douchebag." I muttered under my breath as they went inside the lockers.

Thirty long minutes later, everyone was already out except for those two idiots. "Percy! Gaston!" I called out but they weren't answering. Curiosity got the best of me and the next thing I know I was in the steamy locker room which reeked of gasses that stung my eyes and nose.

I sat on the long chair or bench, whatever they call it. "Gaston! Percy!" I sighed in exhaustion, "Just how long does it take for two guys to take a shower?" Then, I heard the unmistakable sound of a door lock opening. "Selene. Patience is definitely not your virtue." Percy came out from one of the farthest stalls wearing only towel skirts, his chest exposed. Stupid egotistical Percy noticed and decided to tease me about it, "Take a picture, it lasts longer."My cheeks suddenly started heating up at the comment. The only thing I could think of to save me from the embarrassment was to turn my back on him. "Fine, your call.", he said and cocked his head to the left.

"Hey, Percy. Where-"

We both screamed. And this was the day that my poor virgin eyes have been devirginized. "WHAT THE HELL? WHY ARE YOU NAKED?"

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING?" He shouted in reply just as Gaston came out of his stall, fully dressed. "WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?" He was chuckling until he actually realized what was happening, "Aaaargh! WHY AM I LOOKING AT YOUR BUTT, MAN?"

After ten minutes, we were all in my brother's car, flustered with heavy breaths. "Let's agree that that did definitely not just happen."

In chorus, Percy and I muttered, "Agreed."

So, hey guys! How was that chapter? A bit of some action and Gaston! (Hey! It rhymed!....I'll shut up now...)

Aigoo! Fake Love is out!💓💓💓

Anywho, feel free to comment your opinions, no matter how ridiculous or offensive they are. It's what makes my writing improve. It's what makes my writing flawed yet real.

Lots of love,
