Centre of attention

❤️ Jennifer' POV❤️

"Who is Eric Gray?"I ask them getting confuse of whom they are talking about and why they all are scared of him. They all look at me with shock like I've asked which I shouldn't....

"Yaa.... you really don't know who is he or are you just pretending that you don't?" the guy with blonde hair ask me with a cocky smile.

"She's not pretending, she really doesn't know him because she's always busy with her studies so she's doesn't have time to know about him... Anyway there's nothing special about him to be known about, okay....". Edward push him back to make some space between me and Blake.

"What the shit are you talking Eddie, that there's nothing special about him.....dude he's the star baseball player of our school, have you forgotten??" Blake ask him in amusement but Edward roll his eyes and give him a smirk,"Yeah... like as if I care."  

Blake shake his head on his behaviour and turn to look at me," Jennifer, Eric Gray is the best baseball player of our school and you have to interview him if you want to join our club...." he stops and look at Edward, " And about him, These two do not get along, so they don't like eachother." 

"Ahh... I see, so what I have to do, and where can I find him?" I ask Blake and he handover me a notebook which includes some questions which I need to ask Eric. "Here is the questionnaire and you can find him on the school playground, probably he's doing practice , now go but be careful, he's short tempered okay." I nod and smile and walks towards the playground to find Eric.

I try to find him in the playground, and I find someone who's similar to his personality as Blake told me. I stare at him well he is probably the most perfectly proportioned because of his tall frame and his long legs. He’s got that athletic body for sure. Slim, healthy, not too muscular.

He's wearing the baseball team uniform, which is tightly fit on his body, showing his strong legs, he's wearing a blue color cap which is hiding his eyes. On his one hand he's wearing a baseball glove and in other hand he's holding the ball... 

He looks so concrete, he swing one of his long legs in the air as he's getting ready to throw the ball.

The girls are cheering for him holding his name's banner in their hands,"ERIC, ERIC, ERIC... LET'S GO YOU CAN DO IT..." As he throw his first ball but miss it. 

The only tall guy who's standing front of him on some distance, take out his helmet and ask him getting irritate, "Eric do you need some rest, what's wrong with your pitch today?"

"No, I'm fine, let's do it again." Eric says and walk back to his spot to throw the ball again before he throw it he stops and yell, "Hey you!! Get out!!" I look here and there to see whom he's yelling at but again he yell, " Are you dumb? Get out of here."

Before I could understand the one who's catching his ball come up to me almost running and fuming in anger," Hey you! He's talking about you, get out here, what are you doing in front of him?" My eyes goes wide in shock knowing I'm in front of him blocking his way and I don't even when I come here, what I remember is I was looking at him continuously and I end up here. I feel embarrassing, I hurriedly bow down to say sorry and walk out the ground to sit on a chair to wait for him.

❤️ Jennifer POV❤️

"I hurriedly bow down to apologise and walk out the ground to shit on a chair to wait for him....."✨

I start reading the questions which I need to ask him,after a few minutes I sense a someone's presence beside me, I turn my face to the side to see who is it and I see a tall man sitting beside me. It was Eric. He is looking tired, he's massaging his right shoulder which might be aching with his other hand and his eyes are close.

"Umm.... excuse me, do you have any time?" I ask him expectedly, not sure if I should ask him or not because earlier Blake told me that he's short tempered so I'm little bit scared of him.

"Hope. I don't have any." He answered still closing his eyes and resting his head on the back side of the chair. I can tell he's tired but I still go on to try my luck to make him agree to do an interview," I'm in the same class, and I really want to join broadcasting club so they assigned me to do an interview with you, do you....do you want to do an interview?" I ask him with so much expectations.

"Same class?" he finally opens his eyes and look at me," umm... yeah, probably you don't know me , actually I didn't know till now either that we're from the same class." I answered him honestly and it's true that I didn't know he's my classmate 'cause I've never seen him in the class before.

"Yeah. I don't get time to attend classes because of my tight schedules and we need to go to the tournaments." he replied and I'm little bit relive that he's not like that as Blake and others thinks of him, he's easy going. well atleast now. "Ohkay so can I ask questions," I hurriedly try to ask him questions, I don't want to loose this chance. " The first question is......." I stop myself looking at his tired state and he's hissing with pain sometimes while holding his shoulder," You must have been really tired, right?" I ask him with concern,"

"Is that the first question?" he look at me and ask back and chuckle lightly.

"This won't do, sorry for interrupting you." I close the notebook of questionery and turn back to leave and to let him rest.

"Hey. Come here" I hear his voice from behind and I stop my step, I turn around to look at him. 

"I want to do this interview." he stands up from his chair and come towards me. 

"Really?" I smile in excitement and walk towards him actually almost running. I open my notebook to ask him questions and to write down his answers.

"Hey it's dangerous!" someone yell and I look at the direction to the voice and see that a baseball is in the air and it's coming towards me, I hurriedly closed my eyes in fear and cover my face with the notebook to not get hit.

But before the ball could hit me, Eric caught it with his right hand right in front of my face!!!!;

I look at his face in shock and noticed his expression changing into the painful one and he growl out in pain, my eyes become wide and I cover my mouth with my hand in fright. How can he just catch that ball with his bare hand without wearing a glove.

"Hey, are you okay!!" his team members rushes towards in panick, "Hey hurry up!" they help him to take him to the team's locker room. I'm still surprised by what just happened and I follow then to their lockers room and I hear the announcement of the radio station," FLS's breaking news! Star pitcher, Eric, suffered an injury on his right hand . The cause of this was because of a student that was roaming on the field,this is Jennifer Hudson." I feet freeze on the spot hearing the news , now everyone in the school will bully me and again I'll be the centre of everyone's attention.
