Ashlynn was not wrong when she said that it was going to be crowded. Hell, Adeline practically felt squished as she walked. Everyone was tall as compared to her and she was grateful that Ashlynn was holding her hand through this.

They were heading to the hallway where the players were changing, Ashlynn’s boyfriend, Alexander was there as well. Adeline could see the players from afar as she stood on her tiptoes when someone crashed into her, making her shiver as a drink spilt on her. She yelped and stumbled to find balance. She was horrified when she looked down. 

​​

Ashlynn immediately held her for balance. “Are you okay?” She asked.

“Yes,” Adeline grimaced she found the shirt stuck to her skin. The guy had simply walked away without even bothering to acknowledge what he had done. 

“Damm, you need to change.” The shirt stuck to her like skin making Ashlynn comment.

“Hey-oh didn’t have time to dry yourself, Adeline? So eager to meet my brother?” Alexander commented as he saw her soaking wet from a shower.

Ashlynn smacked her hand on Alexander’s chest. “She was dry! Someone just spilt drinks on her!” She cried as she looked at Adeline.

“Holy. . .” he stared at her up and down. “You are wet.” Of course, she was. All her shirt from the collarbone to the waistline was drenching.

“Do you have an extra?” She asked. Adeline was looking here and there. She was too embarrassed to look anywhere else.

“Yeah, I do. Take her to the washrooms and I’ll be there.” Alexander kissed her forehead and left in a hurry.

“Come on,” holding to her tightly, Ashlynn led her to the washrooms. Adeline locked the door from inside and took off her top. She wiped herself with tissue and water. A knock came on the door and she opened it slightly. Ashlynn pushed the packet inside with the shirt.

Changing into the fresh shirt, she looked at herself in the mirror. She gasped as she saw what it was. It was Xavier’s jersey! Alexander had given her this. Was it on purpose?

But why would he do that?

But she had no option. The wet shirt was going to cause her a good strong cold that she couldn’t afford. 

Sighing, she wore it and went to Ashlynn who’s eyes widened as well. Adeline simply shook her head and dismissed the matter.

Finding their seats, they settled down with food and drinks. Everyone seemed to carry eatables in large quantities. She waited as everyone did and cheered along as the players entered. 

Adeline wasn’t exactly content with what she was wearing.

“Hey look!” Ashlynn pointed to a figure. “That’s him!”

“Him who?” Adeline asked.

“Why, Xavier! Alexander’s with his friends in the back.”

“He’s not sitting with you?” Adele asked loudly as the cheers got louder because the game was starting.

“No, it’s a tradition. We sit with our friends and then make out in the bathroom.” She shrugged and smiled with a wink.

Adeline cheered loudly with the others as their team scored another number. She smiled as she saw Xavier pass and yell what to do.

“So, you’re dating him. What do you want from this? Like what are your expectations?” Ashlynn asked her, sipping her cola. Maybe knowing that she could help her brother a bit.

“Well, I hate PDA, I mean I get uncomfortable because I feel like everybody is looking and judging me. I don’t know, I feel uncomfortable attracting attention.” She did. If she hated something then that was PDA. It felt gross when it was done in public or at least it looked like to her.

“Really? Most people enjoy showing off.” Ashlynn did for a fact. She liked showing off her man. Also, wolves and thee supernatural community were all about showing off their mates. It made them feel secure that no one would touch anything gn belonging to them. 

“..well, not me. I’m just not comfortable with it and the attention it brings.” She hated attention. 

The buzzer went off her school’s team won. Adeline and Ashlynn cheered again but this time only louder.

“Where is the quarterback going?” The commentator asked loudly through the mike. 

Adeline looked at the Field when he said quarterback and she saw Xavier coming her way. Her breath hitched as she saw masses of students looking her way. No, please no. She felt panic rise in her chest as he smiled.

Coming to stand in front of her, he bent down and kissed her lips. Out of shock, Adeline didn’t react. Xavier pulled back and smiled at her.

“Thank you for wearing my Jersey!” He smiled and kissed her again, not noticing that Adeline wasn’t participating.
