Chapter 9
Carl the prey

Miss Universe stepped into the spotlight, walking towards Carl. He was trying to shoot a basketball into the net but to no avail. Anabel counted the number of time it failed to go in: 17. His 18th shoot proved to be unsuccessful too. Then, Sarah snatched the ball away from him and there, a jump shot! The entire class cheered while Anabel and I giggled away. Then, Sarah turned to Carl. “Cool!” Carl said, his eyes refusing to meet Sarah’s glare. Sarah was clearly frustrated. “She’s jealous that you can capture Carl’s attention so easily, while she can’t.” Anabel whispered in my ear. I smiled. Sarah tried to be more aggressive. She hooked her arms around Carl’s neck. “Carl…” she said in a soft sweet voice. “Excuse me, please behave yourself.” Sarah refused to admit defeat. “Sarah? Sarah, please?” Carl tried to released Sarah’s grip. “Darling? You don’t love me?” Sarah was choking back on her tears. Carl detested crying. “No, you are too sweet for me, Sarah.” Carl tried to console her. Sarah started sobbing, her head buried in Carl’s chest. “Come on, darling, you know I love you.” “Really, Carl?” Sarah lifted her head and started smiling. “Yes.” He sounded tired. “Thanks Carl!” Sarah leaped up and pranced toward us. I saw Carl making a disgusted face before he caught my face. He shot me a pleading look, it seemed as though it was the it-is-not-my-fault kind of expression.

“You’re good, huh? Not bad for an immature.” Sarah scowled. “Stop it, Sarah.” Anabel pulled me away from Sarah’s vicious stare. “She’s just jealous. She doesn’t want to lose to you. She’s not going to hurt you.” Anabel reassured me. I nodded. She probably felt like me when Eleanor tried to show off her new boyfriend. That’s understandable, I thought. Then Anabel turned to Sarah. “Caroline’s going to get so angry. She’s just started. She’ll not have the skills that we have. Trust me.” Anabel started to twist her hair into a bunch of curls. Sarah placed both hands on Anabel’s shoulders after a long silence. “Then, why isn’t Carl attracted?” “Maybe you’ll need to sharpen your skills.” “Haha, very funny, Anabel.” Sarah was on the verge of tears. “Come on, Caroline and Marilyn will help.” “I’ll talk to them.” Sarah said in a soft murmur.
