Chapter 64

Samuel couldn't help but move closer to Jack. He wanted to find out about the seemingly romantic past that Phoebe and Jack shared.

It was obvious that both of them weren't normal friends like Jack had initially claimed. Samuel believed that their relationship wasn't that simple.

In fact, he suspected that Phoebe and Jack had a secret relationship unknown to outsiders.

Apart from Samuel, everyone else also perked up their ears curiously. All of them were curious as to why Phoebe seemed so close to Jack.

After the basketball match that day, the relationship between Jack and Phoebe remained a hot topic in Alnewgo University's online forums.

In the first place, Phoebe was a popular person. Besides, Jack and her didn't seem to be related to one another at all. Still, they had a mysterious dynamic. This attracted much discussion among the students.

Bella observed Jack and Phoebe while they conversed. Once Phoebe walked away, she pouted unhappily, glared at Jack, then arrogantly returned to her seat.

Before the basketball match started, the coach of the School of Finance, Jordan, and the coach from the School of Music, Oliver Newsham, were exchanging greetings.

Both of them had known each other for a long time and had previously interacted within the professional basketball industry.

Jordan crossed his arms and looked at the team from the School of Music. He smiled and told Oliver, "It seems that your team this year isn't that strong!"

Oliver shook his head and pointed at Flynn. "That might not be the case. Look at this tall kid. He is very skillful, so your team should be careful."

Then, Jordan replied confidently, "Our team has an ace. Do you see that boy with the impressive shooting skills? He's called Joshua. I intend to nurture him so that he can become a professional basketball player.

"He is the most talented student that I've ever taught, and he's practically the strongest player from the School of Finance. Just wait and see!"

After hearing that, Oliver frowned slightly and replied calmly, "He's not bad."

Yet, he looked a little disdainful.

The competition started once the whistle was blown.

The students sitting in the stands began cheering for their respective teams while the cheerleaders added to the lively atmosphere of the competition. Meanwhile, the basketball players hustled, and the air was thick with tension.

Phoebe watched the competition from the sidelines. She kept looking at Jack and wondering why he hadn't entered the court yet. In the meantime, Jack stood at the side of the court and observed the game.

There were four quarters in the game; each match lasted for ten minutes.

The main scorers in the School of Finance were Isaac and Joshua while the School of Music relied on Flynn, who had the added advantage of height and strength. Follow current novᴇls on

When the first round ended, the School of Music scored 27 points and the School of Finance scored 20 points.

Even though the players from the School of Finance were trying their best to score points, the strategies they used weren't consistent and relied mostly on luck.

On the other hand, the School of Music was led by Flynn, who controlled the rhythm of the match in an orderly manner.

Jordan instructed Jack to get some water for his teammates during the break.

After that, he approached Joshua and told him to calm down so that he could perform well as usual.

As Joshua sipped the drink that Queenie passed him, he felt rather anxious. Thus, once the whistle was blown and the second quarter had begun, he tried to score points for his team because he eagerly wanted to maintain his reputation.

Alas, Flynn kept targeting him. As such, both players started to aggressively score against each other.
