I heard a knock on my door and rolled to the side to continue my sleep. But it did not stop. "Layla! Are you alive?" Amir said behind the door.

After a few other knock I heard the door open and immediately sat up.

Shit!

I forgot to lock my door. After the fight last night, Amir drove me home and wanted treat my neck but I decline. Enough about that, what am I supposed to do about Amir?!

My room is forbidden to enter, especially Amir or was, now that he's in front of me frozen.

"A-Amir-" I started but he cut me off.

"You're L?"

"Well- no, I'm also a big fan of him so much so I bought a collection- yeah that's right." I awkwardly tried to smile.

"Stop lying Layla, there's brushes and painting and an unfinished piece in here."

He point at the left side of my room.
I sighed and dropped my head. "It's a secret."

"Why?" I felt his eyes on me.

Why? Why is it a secret again? Is it because I hate the attention? Well that's a part of it too. But in the past it was because I wanted no one to know my dark feelings. Why is it secret now? Am I ashamed? Embarrassed maybe. I don't want to anyone to know about my vulnerable side.

"Layla, don't tell me you're embarrassed? You have painted beautiful painting that you should be proud of. Where is the Layla that I adore?" I whipped my head up and met his eyes.

Adore?! What the-

"Man this sucks, the artist that I liked was under my nose all along." Amir facepalmed himself.

"Anyway I won't ask you the meanings behind these painting now which got my head hurt from thinking about it, I'll just wait until you're ready to tell me."

My breath hitched and my heart started to get wild. What is this?! Why is he being like this?! At this rate I'll-

"Now, you need to get dress, we're going out on a date."

"A date?! No way!" I shrieked.

"Oh huh how dare talk back, slave. Come down in 10min and wear something comfortable. " He said and closed the door behind him.

Like my pyjamas? Wait..

"How is a girl supposed to get dressed in 10min!" I shouted after him but no response.

A date?!
*********
I'm...... so......disappointed...

"What are we doing here again?" I can't believe my eyes. What kind of date is watching a basketball game?! The cinema would have been much better. I can't believe I was excited for this.

"You know, the tournament is coming up next week. I need to know my opponents little better for me to beat them." He threw a popcorn in his mouth.

Shit, that's right. The tournament, I forgot about that. I have to get serious and train hard.

Woow, Even Amir is smarter than me and checking his opponents strength and weaknesses.

"I don't know much about basketball but number 11 looks dangerous." That guy was hella fast and the only one who was scoring for the past 15 min.

His team were winning.

"Ando Satsuki, apparently he entered the Starlight high with a scholarship from his homeland Japan last year because he was the best at basketball in his old school."

Japan, wow that's a long way to travel and their language was too tricky for me to learn.

But...

"Starlight?" Never heard of it and besides what a weird name for a school.

"It's an all boy school and have a powerful team."

I glanced at only find him engrossed in the game.

"So you guys are going to go against them?" I took a sip of my soda.

"I think so, the lineup is not published yet." He turned his head towards me for the first time in a while. "What about you? Have your coach decided the startup of your team?"

"No, not yet. I think she will announce tomorrow. I forgot the tournaments was next week, it's crazy how the time go fast."

The game ended with 101- 68 to the Starlight team.

I rather go and train than sit here and watch stupid games with Amir. That's it, I'm going.

I stood and Amir looked up at me.
"Where are you going?"

"Home. Your company bores me." I simply said.

He got up and faced towards me.

"But our date is not finished, we've got another place to go."

"It is for me so goodbye." I faked waved and started to walk away but Amir grabbed my hand and whispered to my ear.

"I promise you will enjoy it this time, it will be fun so have patience lion."
He smirked. "Let's go."

I groaned "spare me."

He dragged out of the arena to the parking lot.

"What are you planning again? You can't possibly call this a date, just say that you enjoy my company." I arched my brow and watched him at the corner of my eyes waiting for an answer.

He opened his mouth but halted his pace when a sweaty guy stood our way.

Ando Satsuki.

His eyes widened and the bottle in his hand froze against his lips.

"Amir Ismail." He muttered to himself more than to us.

"Do I know you?" Amir spoke with fierceness in his tone which made me snap my head to him.

This guy! Will it kill him to be nice?!

Ando's ears turned red and started to stutter. "I-I- y-ou a-re my idol. I look up to y-you. I heard so much about you and your skills!" He walked to us and suddenly grabbed Amir's free hand. "But you were in Londo- oh right you moved here! Of course!"

He grinned and just then I wanted to hug him. He looked like a teddy bear, so cute.

Amir looked confused and didn't know what to do beside standing there and gawking.

Yeah, the guy who played just now and this one in front of us does not act alike. It's shocking even for Amir.

His eyes moved to mine and he gasped "It's a girl."

I faked gasped too and smiled "it's a boy, nice to meet you."

He is for sure fun to be around.

"Hi!" His face lit up and beamed at me.
"If you don't mind we have somewhere to go." Amir finally snapped from his daze and dragged me past.

Now that was rude! I waved an apologetic wave to Ando before we turned around a corner.
******
This guy has gone mad. I seriously getting worried about his brain.
"No." I stated. "I am not going to jump a thousand meter from the ground. Are you trying to get me killed?

Hi, it's been a while. Sorry it took so long to update. I had my hands and time full these days with both school and work. But like always
