After playing for a few more hours, they all followed Ian to watch his game. Finn, Irida and Elini quickly found comfortable positions to sit in the crowd and Finn immediately started cheering Ian loudly
"Finn, sit down already" Elini said as she pulled Finn down
"The game is about to start"
"Oh my bad" Finn apologized as he quickly sat down
Finn's eyes were glued to the game when he heard a laugh from behind. The laugh sounded so pleasing, like bells jingling on Christmas, he quickly turned towards the sound and was mesmerized
Sitting there was a boy that seemed to be carved by the gods themselves, his dark brown eyes that seemed to enchant the soul, a perfectly high bridged nose, fiery red lips that looked like red roses, his cheeks looked puffed and chubby like he hadn't completely shed his baby fat, and a nest of thick black hair. In all, he looked like he was drawn by an artist
Feeling the intense stare, the boy turned from his friend and stared directly at Finn
"Is there something on my face?" He asked curiously
"He has a French accent" Finn muttered to himself as he quickly gathered his thoughts
"Well yes, I mean no, you uhm just looked really cute and I couldn't resist getting awestruck" Finn explained as he touched his nose sheepishly
"..." The boy stared at Finn speechlessly
He has never encountered such a weird person before
"Oh where are my manners" Finn said as he hit his forehead
"Hi cutie, my name is Finn, Finn O'Connell" Finn said stretching his hand to the boy
"I'm Pierre" the boy said as he took Finn's outstretched hand
"Well nice to meet you Finn but it's wrong to stare" Pierre said as he flashed Finn a sweet smile
Finn felt like he had been hit by Cupid again and he couldn't help but grin a little foolishly
"I'm I'm sorry about that" Finn said
"It's fine" Pierre replied good naturedly "what team are you rooting for?" Finn asked
"My school's team, the wildcats" Pierre replied with a smile "my best friend is on the team" Pierre said as he pointed at a blond haired dude
"You?"
"I'm also supporting the wildcats, my best friend is the top scorer" Finn said proudly
"You're Ian's best friend?" Pierre asked feeling a bit shocked
He squinted his eyes and scrutinized Finn seriously, he really couldn't associate this goofball with the ever serious Ian
"I've never seen you in school before" Pierre said
"Oh that, I finished highschool years ago and joined the army" Finn explained enthusiastically
Soon he focused on his conversation with Pierre and practically ignored the game completely. By the end of the game, they both exchanged contacts
Elini looked at Finn speechlessly, after being so pumped up about Ian's game, he didn't even watch the game for ten minutes before he got entangled in a conversation with someone else and didn't stop until the game ended
"Ian really has weird tastes in friends" Elini clicked her tongue as they walked out
......
"Exams will be starting in a few weeks" Elini said depressingly
"After this we'd be done with highschool completely" Irida comforted Elini with a smile
"Have you submitted your report to any school yet?" Irida asked Elini
"I have, I'm not leaving the country so there's really not much hassle for me" Elini said
"Ian, where's that best friend of yours?" Elini asked turning to Ian
"After the game two months ago, he just wouldn't stop talking about the little beauty he found. I even got to know gossip that I've never heard in the school" Elini said as she laughed
"I thought he was possessed" Irida chipped in
"He left last month" Ian answered "he had been gone for a long time already, he had to report back or he'd be punished and he also had to help me complete my admission process. And about his little beauty, well I really don't know what's going on with that, I really didn't ask who it was, I mean he had just gotten dumped when he came here so I don't think he's in love, maybe he finds the beauty interesting" Ian explained
"Will you leave immediately after exams?" Irida asked
"I've got like a week after exams, I don't know if I'd be able to attend graduation with you" Ian replied
Irida felt a bit awful after that. Ian and Irida tried to spend as much time as the could with each other, practically becoming inseparable, they were always seen together everywhere
