Chapter 1674

Emma remarked with a conspiratorial wink, “This bottle of water is for that special someone. If a guy you fancy comes along during the game, why not play it bold and offer him a drink? If he takes it, it might just mean he’s into you too.”

Skyler nodded, the gears turning in her head. But then, without a second thought, she tilted her head back and chugged the entire bottle. Emma nearly lost it, “You get it, and yet you drink it? All in one go? What about making a good impression?”

Skyler shrugged, “Because there won’t be any guys I like there.”

Amanda chimed in with a smirk, “Never say never, Sky. Wait till you see the parade of hunks, all muscles and charisma, and tell me then if none of them catches your eye.”

Right on cue, the announcer’s voice boomed through the speakers, “Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. The players will be entering the stadium shortly.”

And with that, the female cheers erupted as the players made their entrance, loud enough to seemingly shake the ceilings.e2

“The Crestwood University basketball team now enters the arena,” announced the voice over the PA system.

The basketball players were an impressive sight, each of them towering over the crowd, with even the shortest standing at six feet tall. Their athletic builds and youthful faces earned cheer after cheer as each one made their entrance.

Once the Crestwood team had taken their places, the announcer introduced the next team, “And now, entering the arena is our very own school’s basketball team.”

The girls’ screams reached a fever pitch. Skyler’s eardrums felt like bursting when she caught sight of Zavier.

He was the second player to walk in for their school team. Not in his usual casual clothes, he was sporting the team jersey, highlighting his well-defined muscles.

At six feet two, Zavier wasn’t the tallest on the team, nor the shortest, but his striking presence and good looks captured everyone’s attention instantly.

Including Skyler’s.

“Shoot,” she muttered under her breath. She hadn’t expected Zavier to be part of the basketball team. Had she known he would be there, she would have fought tooth and nail not to come.

Instinctively, she ducked her head, hoping to avoid his gaze, but their seats were in the front row, highly conspicuous. Zavier’s eyes swept over the crowd and inevitably found her. However, it was just a fleeting glance before he looked away.

The cheers escalated as someone started a chant, “Zavier! Zavier! Zavier!”

Skyler’s roommates joined in the frenzy, their enthusiasm off the charts. It wasn’t until all players were in and the host called for calm that the noise died down.

Only then did Skyler’s three roommates notice her lowered head, “Skyler, what’s up? You feeling okay?”

Skyler ventured, “Can I leave if I’m not feeling well?”

The trio was unsympathetic, “Faking sick? Not a chance.”

Skyler sighed in resignation.

Emma perked up, “The game’s about to start. You don’t want to miss out on the eye candy. If you leave now, you’ll regret it for decades every time you think back.”

The others nodded in agreement, “Absolutely.”

Suddenly, Vivian pointed out, “Look, Desiree is here too. She’s definitely here to cheer on Zavier.
