Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 55

My cheeks heated up and I bowed my head, feeling shy of the attentions I was having.

In my trance, I received curses from everyone, a break up from Gabriel which brought tears to my eyes. But, now, I'm receiving cheers from everyone, love from Gabriel which brings a blush on my cheeks. Everything reversed.

She gave me a uniform which consisted of a short blue spandex and a white T-shirt. Gabriel led me to the locker room and I went to the locker assigned to me.

"Leave! I need to change," I huffed, when I noticed Gabriel lingering about..

"And what about that?" He asked naively and I glared at him.

"Alright, alright I'm going," he raised his hands in surrender and quickly scrambled out. I quickly changed and went outside to the court.

"Alright since you are new, we are going to start from basic tactics," coach said and I nodded while Gabriel winked at me.

The court was a bit empty, the only people around were the players, coach and some other people who lingered around.

"In our next class, you are playing with the females only but now, you are playing with both genders," she said and I sighed.

Me, max, a girl with a blond hair, Gabriel and Ricky were up against, a dark haired girl, Cody, two brunettes and a hazel haired boy.

"Coach I want Gabriel out of my team," I stated and Gabriel shot a confused look my way.

"Why is that?" Coach asked totally confused.

"I would love our team to be full of more females and it wouldn't be fair if almost all the best players in this team " I explained and coach nodded.

"You are right. Gabriel, do you mind changing teams " Gabriel groaned because he knew that he can't protest and win.

"But I'm her tutor!" he retorted and I chuckled.

"Can't my tutor be in a different team so that he can teach me some skills," I stated and he frowned defeated.

He walked to me and quickly whispered, "I know what you I trying to do and you won't win."

I gasped, he really does know me well.

"It's gonna work," I giggled. "And you can watch Cody from there."

"Okay, then let's keep this aside and practice shooting, dribbling and passing for today," she said and I groaned. I was really hoping to beating Gabriel.

"Choose a partner," she clapped and Gabriel was already at my side.

The rest of the class we practiced, and Gabriel and I flirted a little.

After class we all went back to the locker room to change. When I got to my locker, changed back to my uniform. I waited for Gabriel and the guys and we went back to the class together.

We got in and sat down. I didn't have a minute of rest, Nelly just dragged me up and I groaned.

"I have to fill you in the details," she said and Harper gasped.

"I need to rest a little," I groaned. "And you will, but hear us out first," Harper said and I nodded tiredly.

"Guess what-"

"Just get straight to the point," I pushed and they rolled their eyes.

"You are no fun," they pouted. "Whatever," I smiled.

"Anywho, something happened today," she grinned. "You know Fransicesca right? Well, she had an accident. She fell from the stairs and broke one of her arms and legs " I gasped.

"How is that a good news," I frowned. "Okay I guess it's not, but I think I know who pushed her. It's Rachel she wants Fransicesca fame and minors to herself," she replied.
