Ashlyn walked as close to the edge of the court as she could without stepping onto the floor. She knew not to walk on the basketball floor, having had a coach at her pervious school chew her out for doing just that. But she wanted to listen and watch Liza, so she got as close as she could. “Nothing wrong with guys being tall…I would rather look up at one than down.” She could believe she had said that! Who knew what Liza would think of her now.
But she kept messing with the basketball, dribbling before taking and making another awesome shot, that she never would have been able to make with any amount of practice. “Wow.” Ash raised her eyebrows… the three of them had been friends for so long. “That’s great…”
But then for some reason, Ash got this feeling that something had happened suddenly…the atmosphere around them seemed to change somehow, and Liza looked slightly different as she put the ball up. Had she said something wrong, she wondered? Ashlyn bit her lip and glanced in the direction Luke and Hyun Sang had gone. Once they came back, then she could make an excuse and leave the three friends to themselves. “No….not really. I like to run, but no sports for me. Are you okay, Liza?”

Liza smiled and nodded as she walked back to where she had left her shoes, as she was putting them on again, she smiled and nodded. "i totally agree!, I love to look up and not down" then she looked at her walking to where she was.
"running is a great sport! you need to be disciplined, and be in shape to run" then when Ash asked if she was ok, she smiled and nodded, it was partially truth, by that moment she was ok, rythmic beats again, even breathings... "sure, it's just that I haven't played for a couple of months, I thought I had already lost my good aiming."
Then she heard some voices coming from the showers, the first players were coming out, all of them ready to have a huge lunch and then go to classes. She looked at Ash. "I'm very glad to have met you, you're nice and... a girl!! it is kind of difficult to be all the time with two guys" she giggled.
As soon as she said so, Luke and Hyun Sang just walked off the showers, perfectly dressed and clean.

Luke and Hyun Sang raced to see who would be ready first, they were always racing in the most stupid things in the world, but they found it funny and the best part was that they never got mad against the other if one of the lose.
he won, by 20 seconds he got ready first, "and like that you want to shoot triples..." he teassed hyun Sang. but then they just walked out, he smiled at Liza who was standing almost in the same place where he left her 10 minutes ago.
"told you it would be only ten minutes!" he said and smiled at Liza, then he loked at Ash and noticed she looked worried about something, but well... he didn't think Liza had told her about her dissease, maybe it was just because she was new.
"ok, ready to go for something to lunch!" he said as he got closer, then he kissed with a peck Liza's lips and then held her hand.

Hyun Sang rolled his eyes when Luke teassed him about his speed. "yeah... yeah... you won only because you don't care about your appearance" he said looking in the mirror and messing a bit his straight, black, wet hair. No matter what he did, his hair always stayed the way he placed it after washing it.
"come on... your lady waits for her sasquatch" he laughed loudly and then shook his head, when they got out, he looked around and saw the girls there, for some reason, he found nice to look at the new girl, she was... as he had thought before... different.
"yeah... we couldn't do it in a better time..." he shrugged with an innocent smile, then when Luke kissed Liza he smiled and then looked at Ash. "hey, why don't we go to get some lunch and then we'll meet these two in the cafeteria?" he wasn't thinking on a flirty thing, he was just trying to be nice and welcoming.

“I just like running. It helps me clear my head.” Ashlyn watched, with her head tilted slightly to the side with worry etched on her faced as Liza replaced the ball and walked back to where she stood. “A couple of months? With shooting that good, I can’t see how you don’t play. Or that the guys don’t hassle you to play, more.” She laughed lightly and glanced in the direction of the locker room, the direction Liza’s boyfriend and friend had gone.
She heard the voices coming from the locker room and turned to follow Liza’s gaze, then looked at the her as she spoke. What could she say…it was nice to have met someone so friendly so soon, and Ashlyn knew they could be friends, but just like always she would keep part of herself away. So she smiled, not quite reaching her eyes and replied, “I’m sure! I’m glad to have meet you also!”
Then she saw Hyun Sang and Luke emerging from the locker room, both looking just as good looking as before, but differently…and definitely cleaner! She turned her head, blushing a light shade of pink as Luke kissed his girlfriend. But then Hyun Sang was asking something and looking at her, and it took at few moments before she could answer. “I..I guess. But I can find where….you don’t have to….” Ashlyn was stammering and she knew it.

Hyun Sang looked at Liza and Luke and smiled, he knew they would talk for some minutes their arms locked around each other. So when Ash replied he smiled and nodded. "I know I don't have to, but I want to..." he said and smiled at her then looked again at Luke and Liza and then sighed. "come on... they need time"
He smiled at her and then walked a couple of steps to the door. "so... new iun town... I know what it is to be new in town, new to language... new to everything!" he said and then looked at her again with a wide smile.

Ashlyn followed Hyun Sang’s gaze to the Luke and Liza, the couple who obviously seemed to be completely in love with each other. Then she looked back at him and gave him a small smile before answering, “Ok.” She said and nodded once, biting her bottom lip.
“Yeah…new…” Ashlyn said as the walked towards the door, heading away from the other two. Then she caught on to his meaning…. his words , “New language? You weren’t born here?” Ashlyn asked then became slightly embarrassed. “I’m sorry….I shouldn’t have asked.”

Hyun Sang kept walking, he loved to know that his best friends were in love, but sometimes secretly he felt kind of jealous of their infinity love. then he looked at his side and Ash was there walking by his side, it was a nice feeling. when she asked about the place where he had been born, he smiled and shook slowly his head.
"It's ok, I don't mid to beasked about it" he said and then after a slight sigh he answered to her question. "I was born in South Korea, I moved her with my parents when I was 10" then he smiled at her and kept walking, they were by that moment walking across an open field that was between the gym and the school's buildings. "I didn't know a single word of English when I came here..." then he looked to the sky remembering the hell that had been to him.

Walking beside Hyun Sang had Ashlyn nervous, and she couldn’t quite put her finger on why…other than the fact that he really was cute, but she really was. And then she could tell, almost feel his eyes on her every so often as they walked and talked. She found her self liking the sound of his voice as they continued to walk and he explained and answered her questions.
Ashlyn looked across the open field as then turned her head to look at Hyun Sang, “Sometimes I think it would be easier to not speak any English being new…” She shook her head and smiled slightly, looking away from the tall boy beside her. “I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have said that. Its just….it’s just that being new gets so old. And coming in this late in the year….”
“So when’s the big game?” Ashyln asked, trying to change the subject…there was no need to talk about anything serious anyways. They probably wouldn’t be speaking much after today, and she didn’t want to get too close.

hyun Sang looked at her and smiled with a shook of his head, he knew what was to be new in all aspects and he remembered how much he hated those days. "in fact is quite awful to be the new one like that, no one wants to be close to you, you're like the weird bug of the class"
He said and then looked back to the gym then back at her, he smiled a bit and said. "Luke was the first kid that gor close, he was really nice, and then it was Liza, if it wasn't for them, I don't know what would had happened to me back then"
Then she changed the subject and he thank for that, he didn't like to talk a lot about those days, even less with someone that he likes and just met! "it's next week, on Saturday..." he said and then looked at her with a wide smile. "you must come!" there he would be able to show her his abilities. PS, I'll send the pm tomorrow. I'm almost asleep on my keyboard. sorry!!

A weird bug in class.....Ashlyn could relate to that. Even though she had never been unable to communicate with other students when she had been new, they had still looked at her weird and looked down on her just because she was an orphan. She looked askance at him and had the urge to touch his hair...run her hand through it. But instead she shoved her hands into the pockets of her pants, giving her shoulders a slight shrug. "Sorry....Luke and Liza seem like great friends to have."
Ashlyn felt his eyes on her and looked up at him, when she changed the subject to the basketball game. Hyun Sang smile was contagious to and she could help but return one to him. "Next Saturday.....Wow. You guys really are serious about praticing, aren't you!" She laughed lightly "I really don't know understand much about the game...but I guess I could." Ashlyn said with a wrinkle of her nose and glanced away, looking around the campus with her face tinted pink.

Hyun Sang smiled and nodded, Luke was his best friend and Liza was his best girl friend, they were awesome and even when he had a house full of brothers and sister, still Luke and Liza were his siblings too. "Yeah, they're awesome..." then looked at her and with a wink he said. "but don't tell Luke I said so... he would act really cocky after that"
Then they kept walking and half laughed, yes they were very strict on their practices, they needed to be the best. "well, yeah, we need to practice if we want to win the championship" then he looked at her and smiled a bit. "you don't get basketball?" then he tilted his head. "well, that's no problem, whenever you see our team scores, then you cheer, that's it" he then walked to the door and opened it for her.
"please come in" he said and waited for her to come in, so they could get something to eat, he was starving!

Ash felt her face blush when he winked at her…she really wasn’t used to Hyun Sang’s way of being friendly. And it was slightly starting to confuse her….the ease that they seemed to have between them. And Also the one she had felt with Liza, even though this…this was different. She shook her head, “I won’t say a word.”
“I guess it would be nice for players and the school to win the championship.” She said as the walked, her following his lead trusting that they were going in the right direction since Ashlyn still wasn’t positive where the lunchroom was. Then she nodded her head and laughed lightly, “Cheer when the team scores….that I think I can do.”
They reached a door and Ash knew they were in the right place because she could smell the food and hear the noise coming from inside…which only got louder as Hyun Sang opened the door. But she was shocked when he actually held the door and asked her to come in! Most guys their age would have just waltzed inside and left her to keep the door from knocking her down.
Ashlyn stepped into the lunchroom with Hyun Sang and immediately, she couldn’t help it really, looked around hoping that they hadn’t gotten too much attention. But she should have realized that you couldn’t step anywhere on campus with a student athlete without getting looks….especially if the guy was cute like Hyun Sang was, and seemed to have a small fan club. She quickly turned her head away from the group of staring girls and looked up at him briefly before shifting her gaze to the food. “You know I’m not really hungry, I think I might just grab something small and find somewhere outside to sit. You can go….”

Hyun Sang walked with her into the lunchroom and looked around, but he wasn't looking at his fan club, but at the food bar, he was really hungry so he didn't pay attention on the girls that were staring at them. "mmm, I gues I'll have..." he said when Ash told him she was going to get some snack and then go outside.
"So you alreay want to get rid of me..." he said and looked at her, then he smiled in a nice way and nodded slowly. "ok... then I won't stop you..." he smiled a bit more. "the jellos are delicious and good for the skin and hair" Luke had told him that when he said coments like that one he sounded gay, but for Koreans personal care was very important and he learnt that from his parents.
He had never given any tip to others but Liza and Luke, so Ash was the first after them. "see you in our next class!" He didn't want to be a burden for her or to press a lot, he wanted her to feel comfortable around him, not as if he was the plague.

"What?"She asked confused, her eyebrows wrinkling. Then he smiled in a way she considered sweetly and his words registered. "No, I don't mean to get rid of you....I meant...I just." Ash closed her eyes briefly, embarrassed to be stuttering, to have trouble speaking to Hyun Sang. Her eyes opened and a hand went up to touch her blonde hair, subconciously when he said jello was good for hair. And then suddenly she felt bad inside, something she hadn't really felt towards anyone but her brother, but here it was...Ash as feeling bad, like she had hurt Hyun Sangs feelings somehow. Now she didn't even want to grab a small bite to eat. She just wanted to say her apologies and slip back out the door. Maybe they wouldn't even have a class together the rest of the day and then she could figure these feelings out. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...." Ash paused and bit her lip, "Sorry. I'll just leave you to...I'll see you in class." Ashlyn turned and headed towards the door she and Hyun Sang had just come through.
