Jake's POV-
As Me and Alex were chilling on the university soccer ground, Coach Wilson's urgent call sliced through the air. He summoned me to the basketball court immediately, teasing the gravity of the impending discussion. Abruptly ending my conversation with Alex, I had to bid him farewell as I raced towards the basketball court, the anticipation knotting in my stomach.
En route, I collided with a girl who, it seemed, was also caught up in a whirlwind of urgency. We both ran headlong into each other, a collision that sent her stumbling and tumbling over me. Books scattered, glasses skittered away, and her hand bore the brunt of the unexpected encounter.
In the middle of all the confusion, her face was a bit hidden behind her messy hair. But then, I caught a whiff of her vanilla scent , and it sort of hooked me. As she picked up her stuff, I finally got to see her captivating honey-brown eyes. They were framed by these thick lashes, and her cheeks turned a bit red, making her even prettier. It was like everything slowed down, and all I could think about was how mesmerizing she looked.
