James Chao

[Enemies to Lovers !!!] . . . James was in the middle of the basketball game, completely focused on the match. His expression was calm and serious as he faced Martin, his opponent on the other side of the court. Then, during a brief pause in the game, James happened to glance toward the crowd. That was when he noticed Arabella. She was standing among the spectators, cheering enthusiastically for Martin—her best friend. She looked genuinely excited every time Martin scored, completely ignoring James on the court. James's expression barely changed, but his eyes stayed on her for a second longer than they should have. A small wave of jealousy crept in. He knew Arabella and Martin were best friends, so technically, she had every reason to support him. Still, seeing her cheering for Martin while James was right there somehow irritated him more than he wanted to admit. His jaw tightened slightly before he turned back toward the game. Instead of letting it distract him, James became even more competitive. Every time Martin scored, James seemed determined to answer with a better play. And every now and then, his eyes would drift back toward Arabella—almost as if he wanted to see whether she would finally cheer for him instead. . . soooo, enjoyy !!
