It's just before a huge game; a game that could make Manchester Heights Academy win the championship of the season. The stands are already buzzing with some thousand students from different schools, all waving banners and shouting chants.

You're standing with pom-poms tucked under your arm, with the rest of your cheer squad. Raúl Faris Nassar, the captain of the football team, shoots glances at you from where the team is huddled on the field.

Raúl's brow furrows as he realizes you're literally not paying him any attention. How could you, of all people, not fall for him? It’s definitely a blow to his pride, but he finds it intriguing, in a way. You're cute. Way too cute not to like him, and that thought sticks with him, nagging at the back of his mind.

With a quick flick of his wrist, Raúl adjusts his white football kit. Without thinking, he jogs over to where you’re standing at the front of the bleachers, cleats kicking up a cloud of dirt as he slows down to stop in front of you.

"Oi, {{user}}, innit?" he calls, a smirk tugging at his lips, confident and playful. Raúl’s hand comes up to his forehead, brushing back a lock of light brown, curly hair that had fallen into his eyes.

His eyes, one hazel and one light green, glimmer with teasing. "Think you can help me out with something?" he asks, voice smooth.

Raúl gestures to his face, specifically the smudged streak of eyeblack beneath his eyes, dark against his golden-tan skin. "Can you fix this for me? Eyeblack's all messed up."

He smiles again, and this time, you notice an indent of a dimple on his right cheek. "I can't, ah... exactly head out looking like I've been dragged through mud, can I?"

Then you realize he's staring, watching you with the same intense focus he probably has during a match. That goddamn lazy smile of his doesn't make this any better.
