Chapter 18

Jennie's POV

Lisa's been acting strange for the past couple of days. She's been aloof and guarded. There were a lot if times that I saw her watching her back as if someone's following her. I wanted to ask her what the problem is but I knew that she'll just deny the issue. I wish that she'll just trust me more.

Today was the semi-finals game for both women's basketball team and the men's soccer team. Our school's hosting today's event which means Lisa's focus was divided. I wonder if she'll watch our game instead of soccer where her Friend's playing, if they were still friends. But still as the president, she needed to oversee both games.

"Yo Jen! Chu!" I turned around and saw Mino, Kai, Tae and Rosé coming our way as Jisoo and I headed towards the locker room to change.

"Hey guys! What's up?" I inquired as we continued to walk.

"We're here to support you!" Tae answered.

"Woah! That's a first... Don't you have a date?"

Nope!" He replied. "I reserved this day for you guys. I'm here to cheer on both of you. It's the first time our school made it to the semi-finals."

"Yep! No games for us too. We're here to support." Kai added.

"Thanks guys!" It was such sweet of them to show their support. Usually, it was only Rosé who watched our games since Jisoo and her always rode to school together.

"Yeah! Yeah! Now go kick some butts and we'll go to the gym before it went full." Mino commented.

"Why would it be full?"

"Ever since you joined the team, your fan club is always there. Also, there will be scouts presents and some parents coming so the gym should be really packed." Jisoo explained. I never noticed my fan club since my only focus was on Lisa. I better show them my appreciation later.

"Okay guys! Be sure to cheer loudly!" I bumped fist with the guys and we both walked towards our destination.

"So... Have you asked her out yet?" Jisoo suddenly asked.

"Nope!" I deadpanned.

"Why not?"

"It's complicated."

"Then uncomplicate it!"

"If only I can." I shrugged as I bowed down. For the past days, I have been trying to get courage to ask her for the ball and yet I'm too coward to approach. I have been approached by so many ladies already and declined them all. How I wish I've their guts.

"You Better ask her Jen before somebody beat you to it. You know Mr. Toothpaste model." Jisoo was referring to Jungkook. "Had a thing for her for too long now. This was also his last chance to date her."

"Yeah you're right." The conversation ended there and I'm thankful of Jisoo's support and encouragement. After the game I'll make sure to ask her. There's a fire burning in me as I made my decision.

Lisa's POV

Why does the men's soccer and women's basketball semi-finals have been scheduled in the same day? And why were our school both hosting them.

I took a deep breath and sighed.

Since Jungkook's playing, he won't be able to help me with the preparations. I have divided the task to other council members but they were too distracted to watch either Jungkook or Jen.

I went to the soccer field first to check if everything's okay since they will be starting earlier. The players were already warming up at the field. "Is everything okay coach?" I inquired about the ball, water, towel and other stuffs.

"Yeah... Everything's fine." I nodded and went to the other team to make sure they have enough refreshments. I turned around when I saw Megan putting some water and energy drinks in the cooler. She was one of my most dependable council members and will be a good president when I graduate.

I turned my attention to the players and saw Jungkook. He had this very determined look on his face as if he was being possessed. I then realized that our opponent was the same team that defeated us before, it was our team's only loss.

He must have sensed me because he turned into my direction and I used this chance to wave at him. After the incident, he apologized to me and I accepted. He smiled and waved back.

After making sure that the soccer game's all set up, I then proceed to make my way to the gym.

The walk from the soccer field to the gym was quite long. They were on different ends of school. And there's a small wooded area between them.

I can't help but notice that someone's been following me. For the past couple of days, my guard's been up. I knew Jennie noticed my strange behavior but she respected my boundaries.

But today was different. I knew I wasn't being paranoid. I could feel his stare on my back. My heart beats faster than normal and I felt my body being covered by cold sweats.

I knew he was there.

So I ran.

I ran as fast as I could until I reached the gym.

I turned around and I'm not sure if my mind's playing tricks on me but I saw a shadow.

It must be him.

He's here and I know it.

I decided to stay at the gym for while to support Jennie. I'll go back to the soccer field at half time probably, since the basketball time was shorter than soccer.

It was the first time that the gym became full. People from both schools were all here to support. There's some parents too. Also, I heard that some scouts came to watch our players.

After few more minutes, players came out from their lockers, warmed up and the game kicked in.

Our opponent was last year's runner's up. Jisoo managed to tap the ball to Jennie whom scored a quick three points.

"Yay!!!!!" Her fan club squealed.

"Yeah!!!" The crowd yelled. I also noticed her complete gang cheering in the crowd.

Our team continued to show aggression. The players also improved a lot. Most of the plays that jisoo made was completed. Turnovers can't be avoided but it was still better than the past few games. The team managed to catch up on Jisoo and Jennie's level.

Jisoo and Jennie's combination was amazing. They both ruled and conquered the court. When Jennie's being heavily guarded, Jisoo always found the free man to pass the ball.

However, our opponent wanted to prove that they weren't second best for no reason. Our highest lead was only six and there's only minutes left for the first quarter.

The game was really intense. Both teams were fighting like there was no tomorrow. The second quarter ended in an instant. I even managed to lose track of time because of the game. Fortunately, our team with up by nine points.

I decided to go back to the soccer field in order to show my support to Jungkook. He was my friend after all.

As I walked through the wooded area, the feeling came back. Again, I felt like someone is watching me.

I needed to know.

I needed to make sure.

So I turned around and that was the dumbest decision I've ever made.

The next thing I know, I was on my back lying on the ground with a man over me.
