GoodReadIt took Alison over an hour to work out the two exercises. When she cout of Luis's room, Alexis cup and asked them to go downstairs for the meal.
Luis did have an appointment in the afternoon, with Zion and Benny.
In the meantime, Alison stayed at hand studied French. It wasn't very hard work so she had a casual chat on the phone with Alexa at the stime, and ended up asleep with her phone in her hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she woke up, it was nearly five o'clock. After getting her face washed to freshen up, she took the book to the balcony and did spoem reciting.
Gentle breezes kissed things on the balcony from tto time, and Alison found it rather cozy studying on the deck chair there.
In the municipal basketball court.
Luis's final three-pointer wrapped up the game, and his team won.
Benny breathed a sigh of relief. Their opponents this twere not easy to deal with. It was hard for both Luis and Zion to shoot, for each of them got two defenders to stop them.
The truth was, apart from Luis and Zion, three other players in their team, including Benny, were not very skillful.
They did swarm-up and just threw themselves in the game. It could be said that the other two players were here to fill out the numbers.
But their opponents were different. Five of them were from the sschool team, with two of them playing for the city team at the stime. Having practiced and played for over a year, the whole team could cooperate more tacitly than Luis’s team.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was fair to say that Luis's team won the grelying on the good teamwork between Luis and Zion, and they won it narrowly. They were still two points behind before Luis shot his three-pointer. In fact, Benny was prepared to welctheir failure as the countdown drew near.
Luis's decisive shot was beyond everyone's expectations. And it was a three-pointer that sealed the game.
Benny jumped with joy when the whistle went for the end of the game. He ran to Luis and wanted to give him a hug, but was pushed ruthlessly away by the hero. "Back off," added Luis.
Luis was all covered with sweat and felt too hot to stand someone getting near him.
The first thing he did after he walked off the pitch was grabbing a bottle of water and drinking it in one gulp.
Zion approached him, "How about having dinner together tonight?" Luis looked away and refused, "You can go with Benny." Hearing that, Benny chimed in, "You know, he's got a job to do, tutoring his girl!” "His girl?" Zion got the point a few seconds later, and looked meaningfully at Luis, "Are we talking about Alison here?" Calm as Luis appeared, when being questioned, his pinkie shook a bit even though he didn't drop the bottle. But he reacted soon and snorted, "You believe Benny's nonsense?" "Aunt Alexis and Uncle Justin would be away on business tomorrow, so I've got to have dinner with them.” Benny flinched and felt wronged, "I was simply telling the truth. You care so much about Alison, and the only explanation | can think of is that you like her!" "| care about you guys for years, and you think it is because | like you?" Luis refuted, rolling his eyes at Benny.
But Zion discovered something, "Well, Luis, you won't even bother trying to explain if we are talking about something else." This time, Luis's glare shifted to Zion," Believe it or not." Then Luis took his backpack up, "I've got to go now. You guys have fun." Zion waved Luis goodbye and kept looking at his back thoughtfully.
Seeing that Luis had gone, Benny could not help but complain to Zion, "It’s true, you know! He has always hated girls and had never accepted any girl as his desk mate since middle school. And now what? He did not refuse Alison to be his desk mate at first, and when the class changed seats this Friday, he agreed to be Alison's desk mate again. Alison had chosen Alexa to be her desk mate, but when the teacher cto him and suggested that he and Alison continued to sit together and learn from each other, he almost nodded his head without hesitation!" Benny gulped down swater and continued, "And there is more. Luis never helps anyone with their homework, but now he tutors Alison every day. Only Alison. When | go to ask him for help, he just tellsto help myself ." "You see? He treats us and Alison differently. He definitely likes that girl, unless he was simply treating her as his sister!" Zion shrugged, "Maybe he really is taking her as his sister." But they were not related biologically. He still could like her! Luis did not know that his two good friends had been gossiping about him after he left. He went back hdirectly, and after playing outside for four hours, he was finally back before six o'clock.
