I was staring at her, trying to figure out what she was trying to say.
“Are you two having something, other than friendship?” she asked hesitantly.
“What? Oh! no…” I said involuntarily.
“He is a good friend, there is nothing else…” I added after that.
“Does he have an affair with someone else?” she asked.
“As far as I know, he is not having an affair with anyone…” I replied.
“Hmm… You are not lying to me, are you?” she asked again.
“Of course not…” I assured.
“Look, Sarah… Please don’t get me wrong. I like Luke…” she said, leaving me shocked.
“I think, like is not the correct word… I love him, Sarah… I love him so much, for many years…” she said. She sounds so desperate, which reminds me, my self in the past.
“We went to the same high school. He is so handsome and cheerful. I found him totally different from all the other guys I knew. I don’t know when I started loving him… But since high school, I was totally obsessed with him. He hasn’t even spoken more than 100 words with me in this entire time. Even the things he talked with me were related to academics…”
He has talked with you relating to academics, Sally… I was not even that lucky…
“Does he know, how you feel about him?” I asked.
“God! No!!! I was too afraid to let him know that… I am not ready to take any chance with him, Sarah… I want this to work out between us, for real…” she said instantly.
“I know he hates girls throwing themselves at him. So, I don’t want to be one of them… Even though I come to every match he plays just to watch him, I never go even close to him. Even to get an autograph…”
This girl truly is another Sarah… She seems to have the same feelings I have. The only difference is she has them for Luke, not Jake…
I know there are a lot of girls dream about Luke, but this is the first time a girl talked about it with me… Hearing her confession after I heard my brother’s confession about Luke made me totally lost.
“Sarah, you are the only one who knows about my feelings other than me… I have never talked about these even with one of my close friends… I love him that much, Sarah… I don’t want to let anything goes wrong…” she said.
“But I can’t just stay far away from him, and watch until I lose him… I have to let him know about my feelings… But to be honest, I don’t know how…”
I was looking at her, worriedly… I feel you, girl…
“What can I do for you, Sally?” I asked, kindly.
“Sarah… Since he is close to you… Maybe you can make me an opportunity to get close to him…” she said, looking right into my eyes. Her eyes were filled with hope…
This is such a dilemma… My brother and this girl loves the same person… It seems both of them love him so much… To whom I should support?
Anyway, Shane asked me to stay away from his problems… So I can’t talk about him with Luke…
But this girl is clearly asking for my help… It is easier for me to talk with Luke about a girl than about a guy, isn’t it? Especially about a girl who is beautiful and sweet…
I don’t really know what Luke feels about her… Sometimes I feel that Luke loves someone so much… But he never has given me even a hint on who that is… Sometimes, it can be this girl… There is a very high possibility of this girl having a chance with him than Shane has any chance with Luke…
God!! These two people have put me in big worry…
“Sarah…” Sally shook my head as I was just so connected to my own thoughts.
The game also has started…
“Look, Sally… I don’t know how he feels about you or anything… But I will help you…” I said, holding her hand.
“Thank you!!! Thank you a lot!!!” she hugged me so tightly.
We both laugh at her spontaneous reaction…
She is really in love with him… You are such a lucky fellow, Luke… You are loved by so many people, and you totally deserve it…
I thought while looking at Luke in the filed.
I was pulled out of my thoughts as Victoria’s team scored a goal against us. The ball went just an inch away from Shanes’s fingertips to the net…
The whole ground was echoed with cheers for the Victoria team…
Shane looked so pissed off… But he tried his best, didn’t he? That is the nature of the game…
He was just kneeling down in front of the goal, looking miserable…
Then Luke came from somewhere, and he ruffled Shane’s hair and offered his hand to Shane… Shane stood up, holding Luke’s hand… Luke told something to him… Maybe something to cheer him up…
Luke is always cheering up his fellow players and being supportive. But this is the first time I have seen him, cheering up, Shane… Or maybe I was so focussed on Jake all the time, and I missed what other players were doing in the field… However, Shane was back to his usual spirit and game resumed…
So the game resumed even more intense. Everyone was trying their very best.
The score was still a tie, so everyone was trying to score a goal for their team. It was almost like a battlefield.
As same as in the first half, possession of the goal was within our team most of the time. Our players were doing a great job with the ball. Especially Jake and Luke.
They two create an excellent pair on the filed. They understand each other’s movements precisely, and it is like they read each other’s minds. I have never noticed such a perfect combination between these two in previous matches, or maybe I was just busy observing Jake and dreaming about him. God! I have missed so much of the game and other players by just focussing on him…
I think today is the first day, I watch a football match with full concentration on what is really happening in the field…
After a few minutes of trying extremely hard to go through the Victoria team’s defense, Jake managed to score another goal for our team.
YAY!!!!!
I am not an expert in football, but in my opinion, it was a great kick. He did it with an unbelievable level of speed and energy. Everyone was cheering again for my Jake.
No need to tell, I was so proud of him… Especially when he looked at the area where I was standing, with his rare handsome smile, it made me break into tears with happiness.
The fangirls in front of me were going crazy about him again.
“You are my HERO!!!” one of them screamed.
