Days passed and any conversation I have with Nate the guilt gnaws at me cause he still expects a response to his 'love declaration' but he won't say it. I try to restrict most of our conversations to text because I can't bring myself to see his face.
But when I can't avoid a FaceTime call, he knows something's up and I always brush it off, like nothing's wrong.
I'm such a terrible person.
"Lil are you coming to the game tonight" Shawn asks pulling me from my trance seated in the apartment.
"What game?" I ask tilting my head in confusion.
"The university's football team is playing again another school" he says looking up trying to remember the other school's name, "Ah yeah, Reddington University"
"Right, right," I nod slowly, "I'll try to make it," I say whilst doing the dishes.
Just as I finish up with the dishes, Kam and Jennie walk into the kitchen, their voices carrying excitement.
"Hey, are you guys talking about the game tonight?" Kam asks walking up to Shawn to plant a quick kiss on his cheek, a playful grin on her face.
"Yeah, Shawn just mentioned it," I reply, drying my hands on a towel.
"I heard it's going to be a close match," Jennie chimes in, joining the conversation.
"Oh, and guess what?" Shawn adds with a hint of excitement in his voice. "Finn is playing tonight, and I heard there might be scouts from some pro teams coming to watch. We should definitely be there to support him."
I smile, "In that case, yeah, I'll be there."
Shawn gets up from the chair, "Alright, babe you ready?" he asks turning to Kam.
"Yeah, give me a second" she says packing her laptop in her bag.
"Must be nice to have personal chauffeur" Jen laughs
"I'm her boyfriend not her driver" Shawn replies laughing.
"Eh Potatoe, Potato" Kam shrug pulling his arm, "I'll be late for class" she laughs as they head towards the door.

The game progressed with nail-biting moments and exhilarating plays, keeping us all on the edge of our seats.
As the game drew to a close, the score remained tied, leading to a tense penalty shootout. The stadium fell silent, the anticipation palpable as Finn stepped up to take the decisive penalty shot.
