CHAPTER 17 BASKETBALL GAME

Time passed by so quickly and the long-awaited day arrived. The basketball race that was postponed was finally held today again. Remembering the last mistake. For this match, both the first team and reserves must be registered before the match. And the audience is forbidden to bring any items.

When Lily got to the basketball court, the match had already reached the final stage. Because this match coincides with Lily's painting race. So Lily can come only after she's done.

Lily walked towards the audience, Lily saw that there was almost no bench left. However, Lily did not have to worry because her two friends had kept one place for her.

Since the match, Alion has been staring at the pilot. Alion wishes she had seen Lily there. Although Alion knew Lily would be competing today with Zidan. Still from the bottom of her heart she wanted Lily to be there.

"Boss, what have you been looking for since then" asked Alvaro.

"It's not clear that the boss is looking for Lily" replied Agas.

"Oh, didn't Lily enter the race today. That's why Zidan can't come to play no" Pandu interjected.

"Focus!" alion said coldly. Alion ignored his friends, as the referee suddenly let out a whistle signalling the final round to begin.

Both teams are against each other. The referee throws the ball up. And the match began.

Lily doesn't really know much about basketball. Although smart, in sports Lily is really weak. Both practice and material Lily can not master it.

But even so, Lily is excited to support the Alion team.

The ball has been passed several times, and when it will reach the Ring. Alion quickly took it. The game immediately turned around. Alion's team has the ball. And quickly alion has been drawn into the opponent's ring.

Alian throws him dannnn.

Gebukk.

The ball got in.

‘’Woooahhhh.’’

‘’HUUUUUU.’’

‘’WAAAAAAAAA.’’

‘’ALION, SMA X CHAMPION.’’

The audience screams sounded very loud. Lily, who was carried away, also shouted Alion's name. Lily felt very proud to see how Alion snapped a goal.

"The lion is truly extraordinary" cried lily inwardly.

****

Lily kept watching the game. See how Alion passes the ball to his friend and throws it back to the Ring. Alion looked very handsome with sweat dripping down his forehead.

Lily even took a few pictures with her phone. Luckily, his two friends were unaware of what he was doing.

Alion who was like feeling someone's gaze turned towards the audience. His eyes met a pair of familiar eyes. Instantly a smile appeared on his lips, with the skill of Alion passing through his opponent.

Alion snatched the ball, and ran nonstop towards the Ring as if possessed by something.

Alion's friends look very shocked by the action. Alion just grabbed the ball and passed it to them. Alion does not like to be too good at his abilities. Alion will only shoot when the situation is urgent. But at this moment Alion just suddenly moved.

Alion was blocked by his enemy, but still did not prevent him from hitting the ball. And once again Alion managed to score.

The match ended, Alion and his team were declared victorious.

****

Lily left her two friends who were going home. Lily heads to the dugout, where Alion is.

Lily wanted to congratulate him. By the time he got there, Alion was leaning against the wall.

Seeing the arrival of Alion, he looked. Instantly Alion rose from her position and drew closer to Lily.

"I want to congratulate you. You look really cool," said Lily spirit.

Alion chuckled slightly, she had not expected to be praised this much by Lily.

"True, then what a gift for me," said Alion feigning retirement.

"Ah, gift.." said Lily puzzled.

He didn't think he'd give Alion a present. Lily looked at the painting in her hand. This painting is the result of the race that Lily took part in. Lily only brought her because she was in a hurry earlier. Could it be that he should give this there's Alion.

"Then I'll give you my painting" Lily said smilingly handing over the painting.

Alion raised his eyebrows, but still took the painting Lily gave him. Alion knew this might be Lily's painting at the race. Because Alion had also seen Zidan take him earlier. Surprisingly Lily actually gave it to him. Alion felt her heart being squeezed by something that felt tickling.

"Hmm, I'll take it. And congratulations you have won too," said Alion softly.

"Ah, you know it," said Lily feeling embarrassed.

"Of course what I don't know. Since you've given me a gift then I'll give you something too" Alion said.

Alion enters the room leaving Lily. And when Alion came back he had something.

Lily who saw what Alion was holding was shocked. He knew it was Alion's jersey. When he got in front of him Alion gestured him to take it. With a raging feeling Lily took it.

"I can't give you a trophy or a medal because it belongs to the team. So I'll give you mine" said Alion with a slight antipace. Alion's afraid Lily doesn't like him.

"Ehem, then I will take good care of her," Lily blushed in embarrassment.

Looking at Lily's blushing cheeks Alion smiled happily. It seems he did the right thing.

"Then let's take you home" Alion asked.

"Ah, don't you go with your friends" asked Lily in surprise. There will usually be celebrations after the game. His teacher would even take him in but Lily and Zidan refused and chose to go back to school.

"What's wrong, I'll take you first" Alion said confidently.

"What's not a hassle if you have to go back and forth, Lio," Lily said still hesitatingly.

"Not if for you," said Alion calmly.

Lily was happy to hear Alion's answer. With passion he walked in the saming Alion.

"Why didn't you go home earlier," asked Alion a little curious. Although there was a guess in his heart Alion was still unsure.

"Emm, to see you," Lily said softly.

"So are you confessing now" said Alion teasingly.

"Humm, yes," Lily said loudly.

"No way," said Alion firmly.

"Why?" lily was disappointed. Lily was sad whether that meant the alion had not liked her. Lily thought their closeness was obvious. Although they are still young, Lily still wants to have a closer relationship with Alion.

Looking at Alion today, when many women adore her Lily was actually a little scared. That's why he's so brave today.

Lily can't really imagine that Alion's with another woman. With her head down Lily stopped.

"It's the man who has to declare it first" Alion said suddenly. Alion smiled and rubbed Lily's head slowly. Alion gently held Lily's hand. And pulled him towards the arcane.

"Then I'll wait" Lily said slowly.
