Jam's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

I opened my dark brown eyes slowly and let it explore around. The rays of the sun were starting to creep inside the room. It caught my eyes defining it even more. My eyes started to look for the wall clock. I squinted for a bit but as I realized that it's already 8:30 in the morning, my eyes grew bigger.

Fuck.

How long did I sleep?

I immediately took a quick bath, get my bag, and run as fast as I can to go to school.

I am so late. I'm dead.

As I enter the classroom, eyes everywhere are starting to glare at me, some are wide-opened, looking like they saw a ghost or something.

I didn't put much care about it, as I just sit quickly on my chair. I see no teachers though, and I guess, not all students are here.

"Woahhh, seems like you're too early, dude." She said it while she chuckled.

I looked at my wrist to check the time on my watch but I realized I didn't have enough time to put it on. I was on a rush this morning.

"What?" I asked it out of confusion as I puckered my brows in a frown.

What do you mean?

"Joke's on you, you're too early for the 3rd period." She laughed so much, looking like she enjoyed fooling me.

Oh, I really missed classes. Like literally, not missing it, missed it. Students would understand what I mean.

"You silly little girl," I said it to offend her as a requital for what she has done. She just rolled her eyes at me when she immediately focuses on her long and colored fingernails.

Seriously, Jemma is quite small. Estimated more or less like 5 foot flat. Despite having this size, I guess nothing can stop her from being big-mouthed and gossipy. That's sort of her own power.

I wonder if there's a microphone or a speaker inside her.

"Jemma! Where did everyone go?"

"Well, I don't know about that. Besides, it's our break time, duh." She answered that effortlessly with that 'lazy' accent.

I leave her behind and make my way to the canteen, well I guess that's where my friends would go.

When I got there, I started to let my eyes wander around and look for any of my friends.

As I'm about to explore all the area, my eyes then freeze for a moment as it focuses to capture a clear view of a familiar person.

It's Dwight.

Our eyes met one another as I started to stare at those beautiful blue eyes in front of me. Goddamn attractive.

I wink for a second just before I find myself walking towards his place. He was sitting alone on the corner, again.

"Hey, what's up?" I confidently greet him as I sat on the white chair beside him.

Why am I here again?

"Uhmmm..." He hastily said as if it's the only word he can state. I can see that he's a little bit uneasy right now.

What's with him? He's cute in that manner though.

"Ohhh, what seems to be the problem?" I chuckled questioning him.

Really, why is he acting like that?

"Look, about last night... I didn't mean to." He stops for a few seconds before saying the last words.

"Wait... what happened last night?" I was abrupted but I managed to ask in the calmest way I could.

What did I do last night? This is so embarrassing.

"You seriously don't remember anything?" He asked with worries filled in his eyes.

"I promise." I cross my two fingers out to confirm that I was really telling the truth.

"Ohhh, never mind." His voice suddenly changes into a more relaxed tone.

"Wait, I'm curious about what..." I paused a bit.

Oh.

I do remember one thing, I guess. I was dreaming last night... and he was in it. Weird.

He hugged me while we're together in the same bed. I felt like it was true, I wish it was. I can sense that it'll be comfortable if I'm wrapped on those strong and muscled arms.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was filled with silence, an awkward silence.

"Look, if I have done something bad, I'm sorry, I'm too tired last night. Wait, did I sleepwalk, sleep talk or something?" I said it innocently but also to still maintain a chat with him.

"No, forget about it." He chuckled and smiled at me, revealing more of his glossy pinkish lips. This is really teasing me.

"Ok, I guess I'll better see you on the training later." I briskly said it to him.

He nodded then he stood to throw off his mess before we're completely separated apart.

I wish I could be with him all the time.

Suddenly, there's someone calling my name out of the crowd.

It's my friends.

Just when I realized that I'm already fantasizing things, I shook my head immediately and hurriedly goes towards where the voice is coming from.

"Where have you been? You're insane! You just missed out the first two class, I'm jealous." Kaitlyn sarcastically said to me as she smirked.

But she should be. I heard that the first two classes were biology and chemistry. It's really horrible.

I guess it's better than I've been late.

"Got so much sleep uh?" Chris asked before I could totally say a word.

"Well, I think so."

"Oh, we're exactly the opposite, I didn't even manage to return at the dorm last night, yesterday's training was hell. I got to sleep in Deo's house since it was the nearest to the court. His room was crowded and boy, the odor's awful there. I might want to kick those unhygienic people."

We all laughed together, seems like everyone has a story to tell right now.

I then noticed from my peripheral vision that Edon was staring at me strangely. His eyes getting more fiercer.

I wonder if he knew what happened last night.

I sighed.

Should I ask him?

As soon as I think of that, the bell rang. Bad timing.

...

We've just finished having a warm-up for today. Now's the time, here's the real training.

The group has to be divided between 'win or lose' in a 'rock, paper, scissors' game. Surprisingly, I lose to my sort of a 'match-up', and it's Dwight.

I hate it. We're not teammates now, I guess it's because we're both good. Let me see how good you are, huh.

We started to enter the court.

As the first server from the opponent hit that ball, I immediately receive it by tossing it to deliver to our setter, Edon. He sets it out for me, giving a high ball on the open side of the court and then.

Bang!

I got the first point.

I guess their knees hurt already especially that they fail to dive that.

Edon then serves it to the other side. It was received by that boy with jersey number 11, I guess his name is Larry, though it goes to the side of the court and it's out.

A service ace for Edon.

He's really good at it. I swear.

I can see the frustration in Larry's face, as he started to raise his hands to his teammates and apologized for that. He turns his attention back to the ball with so much eagerness.

He's a bit competitive.

The game has continued, as slowly, things are starting to heat up and getting more intense. The rallies have gotten so long already.

...

It's already the third set, having a one-one score for the previous set. Slowly, I'm getting so exhausted and dreary. My feet are starting to collapse and I'm not as active as a while ago now.

I looked at the scoreboard on the side of the court and there I see, 23-21, my team being an advantage. What a relief, I'm too tired now.

Just finish this.

I focus myself back to the court and there I see who's in front of the net now, it's him, I can still notice those blue eyes, but now in a much 'serious' mode.

His jersey was filled with much sweat already, exposing those lines that completely reveals his well-defined abs.

It's too hot here. He's too hot here.

But he doesn't look tired at all, I guess he's been doing this already for a long time.

Well, too late when I knew that I'm at the back row, which means it's my role to receive long balls.

Dwight started to jump and spike that ball and...

Boy, I felt dizzy.

I've never felt like this before, his hit was too strong that it makes me fall on the ground when the ball crashes my head.

My vision is starting to blur out as I saw people that are coming to reach after me and get me up.

But I guess I can't stand. I'm too exhausted and my head hurts so much. I barely can't understand noises right now.

Just before I got unconscious and totally close my eyes, I see someone running towards me.

I can feel that he's already carrying me now.

I didn't notice who he was, all I just know is that I'm comfortable in his arms. I felt so protected.

I wish I could recognize who he was so I can thank him.

But it's not too long before I realized that I already fell asleep.
