complaining about the heat, but I was enjoying the workout, it helped me release my frustration. As the coach led us through a series of drills I noticed Ian on the opposite side of the field playing football and to no surprise Alesha was there cheering him on.
    “Rea go!” Chloe yelled from somewhere behind me, shaking me out from my mental trance and forcing me to run onto the ball that was already flying towards me. I barely looked in that direction for the rest of practice but when I did I could have sworn Ian was looking at me too. I just hoped that it wasn’t me being paranoid like Chloe.
    Once practice was over we headed back to the changing room where coach read out the list of names of the people who would be playing in tomorrow’s match and I was glad I was on there. It would give me something to focus on for the whole day. Chloe hadn’t brought up the topic of my new guy again thankfully and we hugged bye before I started walking home, pleased that I was going to be able to talk to Kai at last.
    As I entered my house I dumped my bags by the door and kicked off my shoes before heading up to my room, iPod already in hand. I had a few messages from other guys, giving me cheesy lines but I wasn’t interested in any of them, instead I messaged Kai.
    Darcie<3: Hey sorry I took so long I forgot I had netball practice on Wednesdays :/
    His reply came quickly and my heartbeat increased a little as I read it, wondering what had come over me.
    Kai: Hi :) Don’t worry about it. Do you want to go somewhere more private? I don’t like these other guys reading our convos.
    Shocking myself, I agreed and found myself setting up an account on some instant messenger app and was happy to see he was already online.
    Kai: So what sports you play?
He asked as soon as I signed in.
    Darcie<3: Um there’s quite a few, I was at netball today, but I also play, rounders, hockey, badminton, do the hundred metres and swim. There are some others though, those are just the ones I compete in.
    I replied a little embarrassed for some unknown reason. I had never been fond of talking about myself, especially my achievements as it always made me feel as if I was bragging.
    Kai: Wow! That’s a lot. Guess you look good then :P
    I laughed at his assumption but ignored it, not knowing how to reply.
    Darcie<3: So why did you want to come on here instead?
I asked, wanting to make sure I knew where I stood with him.
    Kai: I didn’t like the ways those guys were talking to you and able to read our messages.
He stated.
    I was a little shocked by his admission. We hadn’t known each other long and knew little about each other yet he was getting possessive over me.
    Darcie<3: So you’re jealous?
I laughed at the idea of him being jealous as it sounded ridiculous in my head, and I wouldn’t let myself believe it.
    Kai: Kinda. What’s your real name by the way? Mines Kai before you tell me to tell you first:)
    Darcie<3: Serena. So what are we?
I asked, unsure if he would understand my cryptic question. I hoped he would say he wanted to date me, even though part of me was shouting it was a bad idea, but I wasn’t holding my breath.
    Kai: Why do you ask? You want to go out with me?
    I swear my heart missed a beat as I read this and out of character I found a little courage from somewhere.
    Darcie<3: Kinda ;)
I replied, repeating his earlier response.
    Kai: OK then :) x
    His response shocked me as I hadn’t expected him to agree and I smiled to myself, realising I had just got myself a new boyfriend but had no idea what he looked like or anything.
    Darcie<3: So can I see you then?
    He didn’t reply immediately and something felt a bit awkward so I made an excuse about being tired and logged out, confused about the whole evening’s events and worried about how my friends were going to react to this new news.

CHAPTER FOUR
     
    Kai still hadn’t messaged when I woke up the next morning and I thought that maybe I had crossed some sort of imaginary
