Eden went to the indoor basketball court. She looked after Arley, her neighbor friend. Arley didn't in there yet.
Eden sat on the audience seat. She observed the school's team warming up exercise. Her school's basketball team was famous; they frequently won the competition. Not surprisingly, there were many children from other schools who were willing to come and see their game.
At the side of the court, there was a group of girls. They were the cheerleaders, training their dance for this tournament. They shouted, cheered, and set formation while dancing.
[They are excellent and gorgeous. Though annoying, I have to admit that they are good.] Eden said in her heart; she looked at Bianca, Lina, Nina. These Three girls were part of the cheerleader's team.
A few moments later, Arley patted Edens's shoulder. "Hey, E., are you ready?"
"Yeah." Eden smiled at Arley, a girl with short hair.
"Okay! Please help me to arrange the bottle; the display must be good! so our product will be eye-catching, and they'll buy." Arley came to another sales girl who looked busy with their job—offering isotonic water to the audience.
Eden looked at them; the girls wore a very sexy outfit. Sportswear and hot pants with sneakers and high socks. They went around offering cold drink bottles.
"Can I wait at the stall? I'm not confident wearing that clothes." Eden asked Arley.
"No, E., you must go around and do the same things. This is your costume. Change your clothes, wash your face and wear some make-up! you look messy, E!"
[Oh … Gosh!] Eden had no choice. She rushed to the restroom to change her uniform into a costume like the other Seles Girls.
Eden felt uncomfortable with her costume, but if she wanted to make money, she must take on these clothes, go around, and sell the product to audiences.
"Wow, you are cute, E. I thought it wasn't you," Arley praised. Eden looked different with that costume and simple makeup.
"Haha... don't mock me!" Eden smiled.
"Oke! now go there and sell as much as you can! bonus is calculated from how many bottles you can sell." Arley handed over a box full of bottles to Eden's hand.
"Ouch, it's heavy!" Eden sighed.
Eden went around the spectator stands to sell drinks. She had to smile and be kind, so many people would buy load on her shoulder.
"Cold drink! Isotonic! Two only one buck." Eden shouted as she offered.
After the cheerleader performance, the game started. Two teams came into the court, everybody yelled. All the audience cheered; they shouted to give support to their respective champion teams.
Red Team from Eden's school and Blue Team from opposing school. They stared at each other, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle signaling the start of the match.
Eden also stopped walking and turned around to watch the basketball final match. Eden was not interested in the game; she was only interested in a young man running along the field while dribbling the ball.
Ace, as the name implies he was the ace card of the school team. Handsome, intelligent, and excellent at anything. Eden likes Ace; she idolized him.
"Hey, Miss!! I want one!" A buyer's voice snapped Eden out of her thoughts. She was bringing the girl back to reality.
"Ah… yes, here. Thank you." Eden bowed her head slightly in gratitude.
The match was epic. The opposing team tried to chase the score, draw. In the last seconds, Ace deftly dribbled and made a lay-up shoot. The ball got an extra score for the red team—victory for their school.
"YEEEAAAHH!!" everybody screamed, happy for their victory.
"Yes…!" Eden unconsciously joined in exclaiming joy.
From a distance, Eden could see Ace's handsome face beaming with happiness. All the friends surrounded him, raised Ace, and threw him in the air. They managed to win the match because of Ace.
[ Thank God.] Eden was about to leave, when she turned around, she bumped into Bianca.
"Well… well… look who is this?" Bianca laughed, seeing Eden in sexy clothes while walking around selling drinks.
"Don't bother me, Bianca! Let me work in peace." asked Eden.
"Behold, the Poor one dares to resist." Lina pushed Eden's shoulder.
"How much it costs?? Here I buy!"
"One buck for two."
"Okay, we buy!!" Bianca gave bottles to her friends. They opened the bottle cap and immediately poured the water on Eden's head.
"Ugh!" Eden gasped.
Eden felt cold as the liquid touched her skin. Her body curves were visible because she was wet.
"Don't be a hero, poor girl!" Bianca rebuked her. Lina and Nina laugh, they capture it in the form of photos and share it on social networks.
"Hey!! What are you doing?" Ace's voice sounded, making Eden flinch. They all turned their heads, Ace ran from the center of the court to their standing place.
"Ace… we…" Bianca was speechless.
"You guys are so outrageous!" Ace took off the towel hanging from his shoulder to cover Eden's shaking body. The three of them left Eden for fear of Ace's sharp gaze.
"Eh??" Eden was confused, did she just receive sweet treatment from Ace?
"Hurry up and change clothes, you might catch a cold!" Ace turned to Eden. Eden's tongue went numb, she could only look down when Ace left her side.
[ Ouch, stupid me!! I should be thanking him.] Eden was disappointed in herself. She could only stare at Ace's back as he walked away. Feeling inferior makes her unable to express her feelings properly.
Eden covered herself with the towel that Ace gave her. Ace was really the type of 'one guy' in her imagination when she listened to the song One Time —by Justine Beiber. Through hard and almost impossible, Eden's heart hoped that she could be Ace's 'one girl' too.
