Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 62

Kyle’s P. O. V.

“It’s our first match of this season, guys…. we must win this match and show everyone that we are still the strongest team”, I said encouraging words to my teammates with a prideful gaze. I knew that they were in low spirits because of Ethan and Albert’s injuries and also we were under a lot of pressure for being the strongest team. Ethan was included in the team, but both I and the coach agreed not to include him in the main team. He was in backup and I really hope that we don’t need him during the match.

“We will give our best captain because we are the best”, Dustin spoke cheerfully and everyone agreed with him in unison. I smiled with pride. ” It’s showtime now”, I also said with enthusiasm, and then we all entered the court together with our heads high in pride. The crowd roared immediately and we all gave each other a bro hug and then we looked at the other team across the net.

They were looking at us arrogantly with nasty smirks on their lips. Their gazes were enough to boil our b***d we knew that we had to remain calm. Although all my friends were on this team, but I never favored them as captain and that was why I had my faith in my team because everyone knew that they had their replacements as well. Vivek, who was playing in place of Ethan today, was as good as Ethan. So, all we needed to do was to focus on our game only.

Soon the match started and as usual, we played aggressively like always by attacking them constantly. I smirked when I saw them dumbfounded by our attacks. It was clear that they underestimated us due to the absence of Ethan and Albert, especially their captain Augustus, who looked troubled. I knew that my whole team had noticed the same and it was now on us to keep this pressure on them. We all looked at them with the same smirk when the referee announced the break time. We were in the lead and they were under immense pressure. We all went back to the benches where the other members were sitting with broad smiles on their faces.

Ethan immediately pulled Vivek into a bear hug. “I am proud of you bro… you nailed it”, Ethan shouted in an enthusiastic tone loud enough to be heard by the opponents. “It’s still too early to celebrate, guys. They still have time to come back”, Mr Stammers calmed us down and we all stood up straight all around him. The others gave us energy drink bottles in the meantime. I didn’t know why, but I missed Violet this time. She always gave me my bottle first during our practice. I wondered how was she right now? I strictly instructed Maria and Rebacca in the morning to stay with Violet all the time until both I and Ethan come back. I couldn’t trust her after what I learned from Mrs Parker about what she had done earlier.

“So, listen to me guys and listen to me very carefully. I saw their coach looking for all the flaws within our team right now. I am sure that he now wants to attack Vivek, Mathew and Justin now”, he paused and looked at us by moving his neck all around. We all nodded in response. Mathew was in the place of Albert as a defense specialist. So now I want the rest of the team to cover them as well while attacking at them like before. Change your positions frequently with them not giving them the time to understand what is really happening “, he finished what he wanted to say to us with a sly smirk.

I looked at everyone and we all had the same smirk on our faces. “They will play dirty in the end just like the old times”, I also added and they all scoffed. ” We are also no saint and they also know that”, Noah added with disdain for them in his tone. “Alright guys… enough discussion now. We are the boss here and we will show them again (Mr Stammers put the pressure on this word)… that we are still the boss”, Mr Stammers once again spoke in a bossy and proud tone and we all hooted immediately.

” Let go guys”, I asked them while looking at the timer. The break was about to be over. “One second”, I stopped everyone when they were about to move back towards the court. Everyone, including Mr Stammers. “Sub Vivek with Ethan after five minutes”, I asked Mr Stammers raising his brow questioningly, but the corners of his lips curled up what I wanted to do now. Everyone laughed aloud and we entered the court once again. I winked at Ethan before going back to the court and he just smirked. Ethan couldn’t play the whole time but he could give the opponents a hard time for a good few minutes. I knew Augustus, the captain of the other time. He never liked to play by the rules. He always tried to provoke us during the match so that we make a mistake and he took advantage of that mistake. Still I never let him win against me in the last two years. This year would be no exception.

The game started again and we still kept our attacking strategy. I just rolled my eyes when they did the same thing that Mr Stammers told us earlier. I signaled Noah and Dustin and they changed their position with Vivek and Mathew. We soon started changing our positions with every pass leaving them in confusion. We didn’t give them time to understand what we were doing when Mr Stammers suddenly called Vivek back and substitute him with Ethan. I saw Augustus eyes widen in shock. “Its my time to have fun guys”, Ethan exclaimed and high five with Noah and Dustin who were in the front row right now. Noah now switched his position with Ethan and I looked at Augustus with a sly smirk. I didn’t know how he came to know about Albert and Ethan’s injury. It was clear that someone sold our secret to them but this was a topic of investigation later.

I concentrated back on the game and we didn’t let them come back to the game until the last whistle has blown. Ethan was again substituted by Vivek after 10 minutes, but that was enough to frustrate them. We all yelled aloud in a cheerful tone with the last whistle signaling the end of the match. Augustus was looking at me with all hatred that he had for me. I just rolled my eyes and celebrate our win with my teammates. “We won… we won”, both Albert and Ethan ran towards us while shouting happily making all of us hoot in excitement. we all gave each other a group hug and jumped at our places in excitement. We were strong and We are still strong.

Mr Stammers and others also followed the guys and joined our fun. We won the first match of the season claiming that we were still the strongest team. “Well done, guys…. I am proud of you all”, Mr Stammers praised and congratulated us in a cheerful and proud tone. We all thanked him in unison. We soon went back to the benches and I immediately took my phone out of my bag. “Did you call home?” I asked Ethan when he came near to me while looking for Violet’s number. “Yeah.. she was sleeping at the time. It was before the first half”, he told me and I nodded. “You are needed for the ceremony”, Ethan tapped my shoulder. “Just give me few seconds”, I asked him and dialed Violet’s number. If she was sleeping then either Maria or Rebecca should answer her phone.

Someone picked up the call after the forth bell. “Halo?” I immediately asked the person who took the call. “Yes, Mr Knight”, I heard Maria’s voice. I didn’t know but I was disappointed. “Is she still sleeping?” I asked her in a calm tone though. “Yeah…she was sleeping but woke up when the phone started ringing. I am giving her the phone”, she informed me and I waited to hear Violet’s voice. “Hey”, she spoke in a low and hoarse tone indicating that she just woke up. “We won”, I told her with a smile on my lips. I heard someone calling my name but didn’t pay attention to that. “Yes…. I know that you would win”, she chirped happily. I smiled again and someone patted on my shoulder once again. “Listen …. I have to go… I will bring pizza for you”, I told her hurriedly and then hung up.

I looked back and saw Noah looking at me confusingly. I ignored him and then we both ran towards the rest of the team. We shook hands with our rival team out of courtesy and replied to Augustus’s cold gaze with the same gaze. After that, we took the trophy and the whole crowd cheered for us. After that, we all came back to our place once again. “Congratulation”, I heard Sia’s cheerful voice behind me. I almost forgot that they were also here. I didn’t look back and put everything inside my bag. “Hey”, she put her hand on my shoulder and I immediately yanked her hand away from my shoulder. “Don’t touch me”, I immediately warned her while looking at her with hatred. She was startled by my reaction and I saw tears in her eyes.

I brushed passed her towards Ethan who was looking at Sia with disdain. None of us paid any heed to her and then we walked away from the ground with the rest of the team. “She still has the audacity to approach you?” Justin asked me in disdain. “She has no shame”, Dustin also said in a disgusted tone. “Forget it guys… this is our day to celebrate. Don’t ruin your mood for someone not worthy of our attention”, I cheered up them but used a loud tone because the cheerleading team was also coming behind us. Everyone laughed at my remark and I just shook my head while laughing with them. I knew that Sia or her team members would have heard us. “Guys….. behave”, we heard Mr Stammers scolding us. “Sorry, Mr Stammers”, I yelled without looking back but there was no guilt in my voice. Everyone once again laughed and we walked towards our bus.

After taking our seats, I sat down and closed my eyes. “You are one hell devil and you know that, right?” I heard Ethan’s praising me but there was teasing in his tone too. I opened my eyes and looked at him with a smirk. “What did you expect from me then?” I asked him arrogantly. He punched my shoulder playfully and I looked in front of me again. “Did she wake up?” he asked me in a low tone this time. I just nodded in response. “Hey girls… I really wondered how I girl can be pure if she is living with two hot guys, huh?” my anger immediately heightened when I heard Sia’s taunting voice. “She is still far better than the girl who has d**ks of almost half of the school inside her p***y”, before I could say harsh to her, Dustin commented in a sarcastic tone. Everyone immediately hooted mocking at Sia. Ethan put his hand on my shoulder indicating me not to interfere.

“I didn’t ask your opinion, d**k”, Sia replied to Dustin in an angry tone. “Who said that I gave my precious opinion to you, filth”, he immediately replied to her in a disgusting tone. “Mind your own business”, Sia once again said to her angrily. “You should do the same instead of commenting on those who had no concern with you. Any other girl is far better than you, Bishop, in terms of everything. You are as disgusting inside as you are outside”, he spat in the same arrogant tone. “Enough guys…. stay on your seat now”, I heard Mr Stammers’ cold tone scolding both of them. “Ask her, sir…. she was talking nonsense about Violet when Violet was in her present state because of her”, Dustin retorted in an angry tone. “Dustin”, I stood up from my seat and called him in a calm tone. He looked at me. “Sit down”, I calmly asked him and he just huffed before sitting back in his seat.

“And you Bishop…. I won’t hesitate to tell your father all your hidden secrets…. so before opening your mouth against any of us… just keep this in mind that you will be in great trouble if he comes to know how pure and good a daughter he has”, I threatened Sia once again in a cold tone and her eyes widened in shock and fear. I then sat down on my seat and closed my eyes again. I was in good mood and this girl was trying to ruin our mood.
