(( Mabel's POV ))

The Eagle Ball Championships were just around the corner. The last time I even talked properly to him was yesterday morning.

And it was just something very normal.

"Can you help me get the milk and cereal?" He asked me yesterday.

"Ok." I replied, handing him what he wanted. "How's everything?"

"Yeah it's going great!" He looked at his watch. "Oh I have to get to school now, I will just go first okay? I have morning basketball trainings, it's getting much more vigorous as the competition is coming soon..."

With that, he left.

He just left without me.

Now we don't even walk to school anymore.

Does he know how hurt I feel?

(( bill ))

With one swift move, I managed to catch the ball, and throw it successfully into the hoop.

Although my sweat was dripping, and was tired all over, the rush of adrenaline and accomplishment I felt was priceless.

I heard the coach praising me from the back.

I grinned. I really enjoy sports, it is truly my passion. 

"Okay! That's it for today! Gather around!" The coach motioned, and we stopped the game before doing a quick jog to him.

As he acknowledged all our faces, he began to give his encouragement speech. The competition was the day after, and I couldn't wait. I believe I've placed in my best efforts, and I don't wish to let the coach down.

After the pep talk, we were left to do our things. As the coach left the court, Louis caught our attention.

"Guys, since we are dismissed today, do you want to go out for dinner?" He asked. There were a few nods and shouts of approval before he looked at me.

"Bill, do you want to come along too?" he asked.

I was a bit hesitant, but I wanted to go with them for dinner...

"Okay, I'm coming along too."

"Is that Bridgette?" one of the boys asked as he pointed to an enthusiastically waving girl.

"Can't be, she never joins dinners." Benjamin, her boyfriend who would obviously know everything about his girlfriend, dismissed the question.

A bouncy Bridgette walked towards us.

"Hey Bill! How was training? Are you going for dinner? Can I join?" she beamed, until she met Benjamin's gaze.

"What are you doing here?" she almost raised her eyebrow and he scowled.

"And why are you so friendly around Bill? Haven't you forgot who is your boyfriend?" 

"Can you just get out of my way?" she scowled, briefly revealing the impatient side of hers.

Without a word, Benjamin forcibly placed an arm around her, and when she tried to escape but to no avail, she finally relented and he dragged her away, walking first.

"What just happened?" I gave a look of confusion.

Louis mouthed, "They had a fight yesterday!"

I nodded, while internally hoping that they would patch up soon..
