Falling in love wasn t the plan

Silent as the ground was, there everyone's heart beats increased while the faces paled. The college's football team was just a goal away from winning the finals of International football tournament, marking a magnificent place in the history of the champions.

"Nervousness can be seen on every players face. The Royal Riders are just one goal behind from winning this tournament that has been on from the last two months. Fans are praying, players are playing their best. Let's see who will win the trophy in their name! Elegant Aces is not yet ready to give up, now that is what we call sporting spirit"

The commentator shouted on the mic setting everyone's heart on fire. It was the last minute of anxiety before the game's end as the team's hot captain stood across the net aiming the target, taking a perfect angle for a goal while the goalkeeper prepared himself to defend it.

On the go of the whistle, the ball flew in the mid air falling directly inside the net passing the defender and ohhh!!!! "GOAL!!!!!" The audience that has come to cheer for Royal Riders from Springfield Academy, rose from their seats busting in a mess of hoots as there in the ground, the hot captain of their college's football team showed them a thumbs up running wild in a circle in the ground.

Once again, the defending champions of the tournament won for the second time in a row!

When everyone was busy celebrating their win, then how can the topper of the college stay behind in the race! "Yess, we won!" Adjusting her fat glasses, Amara Rebello, the unnoticed topper bit her lips realizing that the girl sitting next to her was staring her disgustingly. "Sorry!" She chipped getting up from the seat after giving him a last glance of appreciation.

Amara sucked on her green apple flavoured lollipop as she strode on the dark street alone with her heavy bag. She never wanted to come to the ground to see the match, just that when her eyes fell on the poster in the evening whilst filling up her bottle near the girl's common room, at his heart hitching photo, she cannot stop herself.

It was supposed to be her study time as per her daily schedule yet Amara broke it today. "He is a good player. I so admire him." Her hands gripped around the straps of her bag, the moon lightened her path as she walked further toward the girl's hostel that's few metres away from the college's football ground.

Although she never had a chance to talk to him but still there is no way she can't take her eyes off of him. Nah, dare anyone say that is a crush! That is not! She just admires him for his fine playing skills and his charming personality. In fact, he stands as her role model when it is about fashion.

"Alex Ragnar, congratulations to you!" Heaving a breath of fresh air she wished him before unlocking her room.

No matter what, life has to anyway go back on its track. Tomorrow morning, will again be the same old boring morning where she would sit in the last bench in the class behind the star students of the college, alone. Nobody will spare her a glance but all the eyeballs will be fixed on him, the entire academy's crush— Alex Ragnar.

"Don't be disheartened Amara, life is great. Thank the lord for gifting you this life." Like every other night, she thanked the God for blessing her a healthy life despite having nothing called, importance. "And bless my parents for whatever they are doing to me. Give them a healthy life and Eddy, a life like Alex." She pulled the quilt on her body closing her eyes for a good night sleep wishing the best for her family also, admiring the guy who just stole her already stolen heart today!

" Good morning! "

She smiled at everyone who watched her walking inside the class but not everyone happens to be as friendly as you are, right! Amara looked down on her dirty canvas shoes biting her lips nervously. Again, nobody replied to her smiles. Not even did they wish her back a good morning!
