God I'm going to be late for the game. I quickly tie my hair up in a ponytail before I rush downstairs.

"Mum I'm leaving," I tell as I make my way to the door.

"How many times have I told you to quit cheerleading," my father's voice slaps me with the usual taunt. "It's not appropriate for girls to dance on big fields with shirt skirts and tight shirts with pom poms in their hands," he criticises judgementally.

I never hear anything from him when he's told about Ares fucking all these random girls. He's probably given them chlamydia or has HIV or AIDS.

"Ares likes girls who dance with pom poms in their hands, dressed in a short skirt and tight top," I yell leaving the house.

I quickly ran up to Elena's car and got in.

"Girl, how long do you take to get ready? I was told that we have to arrive straight to the venue," she scolded.

Elena is my best friend and we are currently running late for our college's soccer game against another college. Mainly because it took a lot of time for my mum to convince my dad that a 17-year-old-girl will not get raped for cheerleader. We head down to our team who are getting ready. The game is about to start in a few minutes. I place my bag to the side when there's a rose held in my sight.

"Here's to my favourite girl," a cheerful and positive voice enters my aura.

I chuckle as I stand straight and look at him with a thankful yet reciprocating sweet expression.

"Thank you, Leo. All the best for the game," I wish him taking the rose and placing it in my bag.

Leo was a friend of mine who just loved spoiling me. Probably the only decent and respectful guy I have met in my entire lifetime. Before each of his games, he would give me a rose, knowing that they were my favourite so that his game would go well.

Apparently, I was his good luck. He walks back to the field when I realise a pair of eyes glaring at me. I roll my eyes and walk over to my team to get ready in our positions.

As soon as the whistle for the game blows, our feet start to move in melody and the pom poms sway in the air. The first goal is scored by the opposing team which leaves a big boo to our college team.

At half time both teams are tied up with 1 goal each. And at half time half, my team looks like it is dying from dehydration. The large white lights in the field shine on their faces, making the sweat and warmth visible.

There are only a few seconds left till the time ends and the teams are still tied at 1 goal. The ball is currently in Leo's court. He drags it to the other side but the ball gets dodged off his feet by one of the opposing members which causes a huge gasp in the audience.

Surprisingly Ares dodges the ball and takes it into his possession. Only 5 seconds left and the time is beeping. The MC is making it even tougher for the guys.

3...2..

"Goal!" the referee yells.

Time is up. Our college won. The girls come in for a group hug as the guys from our soccer team carry Ares on their shoulders. He glances at me and I give him the annoyed look. What a nuisance.

Soon the field started to clear up and I just knew that within any second, I was going to be attacked by the nuisance. We all head back to the rooms to grab our belongings.

"How did I do, sweetheart?" an unpleasant voice reached my ears shortly.

I roll my eyes and turn around to look at my worst nightmare that lingers around me like a shadow. Ares.
