The voice of the dribbling ball echoed through the court. Beads of sweat travelled down her temple. Her shirt was soaked wet and her shorts lusciously showed off her well toned legs. She stood still in her place controlling the ball as she lost in her thoughts of the evening.
"In your dreams...I surely do know I am far more better than you. So, yeah coming back to the point. Rey isn't your type? He loathes girls like you with good-for-nothing attittude. Try him...and mock yourself..."
Those words buzzed aloud in her ears. The nerve of the girl to be so harsh with the choice of words to her just for having a talk with the boys captain of Basket ball Team and that too professionally because her coach asked her to. She being the captain of the girls left with no choice but to listen to the coach. Rey was her boyfriend but that doesn't mean she will just come and taunt her for a small talk. Was it a talk too? She just gave him the paper and asked him to get the names of the team members written.
She laughed heartily at the tantrum thrown at her by the cheer-girl and Rey's girlfriend.
"Its time for something hot babe...I will make you regret for your words"
Kria spoke out tauntingly. She glanced at the basket infront of her eyes. She gave one of her sexy smile, she shooted the ball into the air and made a basket. Her mind was fixed over it .
She flushed her water with cool water to knock away the sleepiness in her eyes. She groaned at the clock which read 7 a,m .
"Didn't he get any other time for practise?", she yelled in her lonely room.
Her fingers ruffled her hair as she tied into a high ponytail leaving few strands to fall on her forehead and she applied a light gloss on her lips smoothly.
She grabbed her car keys and straited out. Unlocking the car, she opened it and threw her bag on the side seat. She turned it on making her way to the college.
"Task 1 is to impress Reyaansh Singhania. Challenge him and make him lose the game with that condition.."
She voiced as her fingers tapped rhythmically over the steering wheel.
"And my wish too will become true..."
She gleamed happily. She wanted a game with Reyaansh and to make him lose ever since and finally and unexpectedly here comes the most awaited chance.
"I will beat down your ego Reyaansh Singhania and I will make your girlfriend repent for sure"
She laughed sarcastically.
"The time has come finally.."
She scoffed as she drove past the college gate to the parking slot. Stopping her car in trance, she smiled when she heard the noise from the nearby basketball court.
Flaring her grin and confidence yet again, she passed-by the court glaring at the boy who was practising in the court. His back was faced towards her. She walked slowly until she went inside. She didn't want him to get a clue very soon.
She tranced towards him maintaining a three to four foot distance, she coughed slightly grabbing his attention.
He turned around amused with the presence of someone. He glared at her skeptically, his eyes brewing up with his confusion. As far his knowledge is concerned, it was only him who was present at that time everyday.
"Umm...did you come for a practise?", Rey striked the conversation.
"Yes", she replied as if it was the most common thing.
"But I am sorry...I will be practising for some more time and Coach didnt give any extra ones", he explained.
Why was he explaining her? She knew that very well. She chuckled inwardly.
"Reyaansh...let us play a game", she stated. His eyes sparkled with a similar confusion again.
"You Verses me! It is also a practise...you can improve furtherly too. It will help you against your competitors", she voiced.
He heard her words with objection but gradually his lips lifted with a smirk plastered with a smile.
"A game...that too with you?", he laughed hysterically, his eyes lightening up. He turned out passing a glare at her.
"A**h*le! Girls ko sab ithna under-estimate kyun karte hain", she mumbled in a whisper which went un-noticed by him.
"Reyaansh, I feel you are over-confident on yourself . You are pretty much scared that you will lose the game", she mocked.
She wanted to bring out a challenge on him but not definitely this way. Nor did she expect this guy to be an attitude freak when she thought he was a typical good boy with those grades of studies.
"Impressive", his voice whispered into the thin air. He turned around facing her looking at her chocolate brown eyes. He held her wrist with his teasing smirk and placed the ball in between her palms.
"Upon one condition..", she scoffed with a mischeivious glint in her eyes.
"You will have to do what I say if you lose...", she continued before he responded.
He covered the step distance betweem them, his eyes loosening away her wrist in his hand.
"And if you lose...you have to do what I say", he voiced huskily.
"Deal!", she replied.
'This is gonna be fun. Get ready Mr. Singhania', she thought.
Glancing back at him, she straited a step back and threw the ball in air starting the game.
Taking his advantage as a height, he grabbed the ball mid-air and dribbled shielding it from her, He strode past her and lifted the ball up and shooted , Kria slightly kicked the ground and tapped the ball in the air and caught it. Leaving no chance, she shooted it making a basket.
"1-0, the game is for 5", she voiced and he nodded silently spellbound.
Kria was versatile when it came to this game of hers. Most of the times, she never initiates it but instead she grabs the opportunity in the last minute and makes it a basket.
The next basket was a similar spell.
"2-0", she chanted with a smirk.
He followed her tactic and the next time he ruled it.
"1-2", he breathed.
Kria changed her swift methods and followed her another way of manipulating her competitor and made the next basket.
"3-1", she voiced.
It was her win for sure! The last one was just for the sake of being done. He was humiliated and wanting to hide in the nook of the earth. He couldn't eeven properly look into her eyes,
Kria played her defence once again but let go at the last moment giving the basket to Rey who ended the game.
"2-3", she cheered reminding him once again.
"You are the winner..", Rey declared with sarcasm laughing down his throat.
"What should I do?", he asked glancing at her after some time.
"Umm...take me to your home", she said in a go making him numb by her words.
"WHAT?", he yelled dumbstruck.
"I just want to see your home. Is it a fault? And Mr. Reyaansh, you lost the challenge and have to do whatever I say...remember!", she clarified raising an eyebrow.
"Now?", he questioned still confused.
"No...after our college...after our basketball practise in the evening", she replied and Rey nodded with no choice left.
"Ok...see you in the evening then bye...", she beamed enthusiastically leaving him confused and alone in the court.
