I may not be a huge football fan, but I'm huge supporter of Silas. That's why I'm dressed in blue and white. I debated wearing a jersey with his number on it, but I decided against that at the very last second even though I had already purchased one. It felt like a girlfriend move and I'm not his girlfriend. We are just best friends. I'm still not used to that, but I love eve single thing about our friendship. We had breakfast together yesterday. The way I was excited about seeing him worried me. I'm not supposed to be this excited when I'm meeting, my friend I have never been this excited about meeting Everest. Is it because Silas and I have a special bond now? "You look beautiful!" Sabrina tells me as I meet her in front of the entrance of the field. The game starts in forty-five minutes, but we agreed on getting here carly to find good spots. "You too!" I grin at her. Sabrina looks absolutely gorgeous with the way her black hair is pulled back in a high ponytail. She has a jawline that anyone. would die for. The eyeliner she has around her green eyes makes their color

It seems like a lot of people have thought the same, because even though there are thirty-five hours to go, the place is almost fully packed. However, we manage to find a good place to sit. I look at the players and immediately manage to spot Silas. He looks incredibly hot in his uniform. They are doing some warm-ups and the way he moves his body makes it impossible for me to keep my eyes off him.

"How does it feel like being friends with the bulky one in number twelve?" Sabrina smirks as she nudges me. "Might I say that it's very unusual for friends to eye each other the way you're eyeing him?" Her teasing tone makes me groan. Sabrina believes that I like him and Kendall believes that he likes me. At least none of them thinks that we like each other.

I yell, placing my hands on the sides of my mouth in an ampt to amplify the volume of my voice. "You know him personally?" The girl beside me asks in disbelief. "Yeah," I reply casually.

"It's just that he keeps to himself," she says, surprise still evident in her voice.

"I know." I shrug. "I've known him for years."
