Chapter 302 The basketball soared toward Declan , speeding through the air .

It seemed certain to hit his back .

However , just before it did , Declan reached out and caught the ball effortlessly in his hand .

Turning to face the provocation from Ewan , Declan took off , charging straight toward the basketball hoop .

He was accepting the challenge ! The heartthrobs of Yorhine University were in a basketball match .

The crowd went silent as they held their breath .

Ewan immediately blocked Declans path , trying to snatch the ball away from him .

However , with a quick feint , Declan skillfully dodged Ewans attempt .

Ewan lunged again , but this time , Declan jumped .

He held the ball close to his chest while his black T shirt rode up slightly , revealing his lean waist and toned abs .

With a sharp movement , he dunked the ball into the hoop with one hand .

It was swift and clean .

Just like that , he had beaten Ewan .

Wow ! The girls in the crowd couldnt contain themselves .

Declan is so hot .

Ewans been the captain of the basketball team , but it seems like he was only leading because Declan never played .

Declan is literally on fire ! Declan landed smoothly , his chest rising and falling as he caught his breath from the exertion .

He grabbed his black jacket from the floor and started walking away without a second glance .

Hailey stood rooted to the spot , watching his retreating figure .

He was so powerful .

Whether in a fight or on the court , there was strength in every movement .

She couldnt help but feel a little awestruck .

She was afraid but at the same time , she couldnt look away .

Like the other female students , it was her first time seeing Declan play basketball .

Her heart raced with excitement , thumping in her chest .

Declan , wait for me ! Halley called out as she hurried after him .

Ewan remained frozen where he stood , still in shock .

He hadnt expected to be beaten by Declan .

The moves he pulled just now had left him feeling powerless , as though he was facing a true adversary .

He had been thoroughly outplayed .

Ewan , its just one game .

It doesnt mean anything .

Dont overthink it , Melody said softly , trying to comfort him .

Ewans face had darkened .

Without a word , he pushed Melody to the side and stormed off .

Melody stumbled back from the force of his push , barely keeping her balance as she almost fell .

Just then , a clear voice rang out .

Melody , are you alright ? Melody looked up , and there was Celine , watching her with an amused expression .

Not just Celine .

Many other students were now looking at her , whispering and pointing .

She had gone from the center of attention to just another side character in Haileys drama .

What was supposed to be a grand public confession had turned Into a joke .

Melody had always been the queen bee at Yorhine University , but this was the first time she had faced such public humiliation .

Her eyes welled up with frustration , and she couldnt hold it any longer .

She ran off , her eyes red Melody ! Carly called after her .

What had happened ? How had everything turned out this way ? Carly glared at Celine , her anger boiling over .

Celine , this is all your fault .

Why do you always have to go against me ? She raised her hand to slap Celine , but before she could make contact , a large , strong hand shot out and grabbed her wrist .
