The One I've Loved

Chapter 27

After having my dinner I called Rachel , I told her about my speech and then about me lying on his shoulder .

Whaatttt !!!! , was her reply to what I told her on the phone .

Yeah , I said .

I mean how did you even ....Okay.... wait , when are you going to tell him that you love him , tell me that first , she said to me .

I started to blush to her question .

I don"t know , I said .

Please stop blushing and answer me correctly Rachel , When .... are ...you going to tell him , she asked me again .

I"ll tell Austin that I love him when you tell Justin that you like him , I said and giggled .

I will. when the time comes. she replied .

Even he told the same thing , I said in a low voice .

I can"t hear you Jess , louder louder , she said .

When is the match tomorrow , I asked her .

It is in the evening .

Oh , okay , do you want to go and see the match ?

What kind of stupid is question is that , obviously , she said.

Ahaaan, okay .We"ll meet him before the match , I want to talk to him .

Okay , I need to go byee she said and ended the call .

Sports compet.i.tions was not like other compet.i.tions . It started a month ago . It had quarter final, semi final and then final . Tomorrow is the final match and Justin"s team got selected in it .

I went to school with Rachel like other days . We had cla.s.ses in the morning and in the evening we had basket ball match .

Justin being in tenth standard was made as captain instead of eleventh and twelfth standard students by our sports teacher .

In the evening , we went to the basket ball court and looked for Justin . He wasn"t there , later we came to know that the players went to change their dress .

We looked at eacthother and thought of sitting on the bench where we usually sit .

Captain , I shouted waving my hand .

He was in a hurry but still came to talk to us .

What , he asked me .

What do you mean by what , I called you to wish you luck , I said .

Thankyou , he said .

When is the match going to start , I asked him .

It will , in a while , he replied looking at his watch .

All the best , came Rachel"s sweet voice .

He didn"t say anything but just gave a warm smile .

The person who was tensed and in a hurry now looked calm .

You better make us proud or else I might kill you , Rachel warned him .

He chuckled to her words .


I"d be happy if it is you , he said .

Rachel rolled her eyes , whatever ,she said .

We"ll leave together , wait for me , he said to Rachel .

yeah , okay she replied .

Rachel"s mother have meetings next week due to which she was leaving tonight , my aunt Helen told Rachel"s mother that Rachel would stay at her home . My aunt was always like this , she always tried to bring Justin and Rachel closer which Justin never liked . But to my surprise this time he told her to wait for him so that they would go to his house together .

After a while , the match started .

Crowed gathered at basket ball court and people started to cheer . The match was really exciting , we didn"t know who would win but at the end Justin"s team won the match .

Rachel and I were waiting for Justin after the match , he was with a group of guys and they were shouting his name out loud in a rhythm .

He then came towards us and asked me if I was coming too. The way he asked me looked like he didn"t want me to come .

Don"t worry I"m not coming , was my reply to his question .

Thanks sister !!!
