It was 2130H. Midori was done with her evening routine. She climbed unto her bed and tapped on her phone. She opened a messaging app and went to her conversation with Dan.

[GreenGal: Hey!]

Few seconds later, Dan was online and replied.

[LeafLad: Hi (^_^)]

[GreenGal: It's opening game tomorrow at GT High School!]

[LeafLad: I know. You'll perform, right?]

[GreenGal: Are you watching?]

[LeafLad: Uhmmm...maybe...]

[GreenGal: Hmmp. So that's how it is...]

[LeafLad: Hehe...I wouldn't miss it for the world (^_^)]

[LeafLad: Shall I fetch you tomorrow?]

[GreenGal: No need. You'll be there to watch. Our calltime is too early.]

[LeafLad: But I want to... (-,-)]

[GreenGal: Don't be silly. Good night!]

[LeafLad: Good night, MyDori (^_^)]

It was 0600H.

Midori is already in her cheerdance uniform with the varsity jacket on.

"Good luck, Shobe!"

"Thank you! Aunty Lan, I'll be going now." She waved goodbye and walked out the front door.

She was stunned to see that it was not their car waiting for her outside.

She saw the familiar moonlight blue metallic Porsche Cayenne.

Then Dan went out to open the car door for her, smiling.

"Wha..." She looked at him questioningly.

"Get in. You don't want to be late, right?"

Midori furrowed her brows, but complied.

During the ride, she can't help but ask, "How did you know what time..."

"Shaoting." Dan lifted the corners of his lips.

Midori had the sudden realization on her face. Of course, Shaoting would know through Mei. Even if she won't perform, she will help on makeup and other stuff.

Then she looked at Dan. He was wearing loose sweatshirt and pants. He also had high cut rubber shoes on.

"Why do you look too sporty for a spectator? Your clothes look so baggy that it's suffocating."

Dan chuckled. "It's comfy." he lied.

Once at the venue, she waved him goodbye as she went to do blocking with her squad. Their performance would be at halftime break.

Soon, the games began. The starting 5 from their school consisted of 2 freshmen, 2 juniors and a senior player. As they sat near the bench, Midori was looking around, trying to find Dan's seat, yet she cannot locate him.

She decided to just watch the game in frustration.

Then her phone beeped for notification.

She tapped on the message app.

[LeafLad: Why are you pouting?]

Midori looked around again. Still no sign of Dan.

[GreenGal: Where are you?]

[LeafLad: I'm nearby...]

Midori looked around again.

[LeafLad: Why are desperately looking for me? I'm close to where you are.]

[GreenGal: I AM NOT! Hmp!] Then she kept her phone and watched the game.

It was halftime and their team is trailing by 16 points.

Despite this, the cheerdance squad performed their best, leaving people in awe of their pyramids and scorpions, with popcorn tosses. Midori was exceptional and attracted a lot of spectators. The uniform in itself consisted of designed tight-fitting leotard with matching skirt and inner shorts. Their pure white sneakers and pompoms flew on every pike, hurdle and herkie.Everyone loved the performance. One of their team's benchwarmers in a hooded jacket, covering half of his face has a wide grin with pearly white teeth.

The second half was starting. Since their team was trailing by a lot of points, they switched their lineup.

This time, 4 senior players who competed throughout their 2 years in high school came up, including the team captain, Long Yun. However, the fifth player seemed to be a rookie who is playing for the first time.

However, to Midori's surprise, she is way too familiar with that face...and that smile!
