"Hey, you can't win all,'' the boy said, tilting his head. "We all win some and loose some don't we?'' He had realised that a long time ago after his school's cricket team went through a string of losses a few years ago. It was also evident that the girl hated defeat. "So would I.'' He grinned. "I'd try to take you out again.'' And no doubt she'd want to get back at him too.

Say whaaaaa? She was laughing? Sheesh! Adi knew it was stupid asking what's bothering her but she didn't have to laugh! He waited for her to finish laughing in silence. To her, it must have been the most hilarious thing eve because there were now tears streaming down her face. "All done now?'' he asked a bit colder than he had intended. "Sorry I asked. I was just trying to be nice.''

Adi grinned and shook Hannah's hand. "Nice to meet you too, Hannah! What year are you?''
The boy seemed to have made himself at home and he had managed the task of not getting on her nerves yet so he was ok... so far.

"That much is true." She really couldn't win at everything, but that didn't make the fire inside her die down any more. She was a very competitive person and that would never change. The thought of more challenges was bouncing around in her head. Oh how she would love another chance to prove that she really was better. He would take her on huh? "It's your funeral." Because she wouldn't let somebody get to her again. She would be ready. She squinted at him with her game face.

The laughing. That did seem a bit rude eh? Not that she really cared, but she was under control now. "Yes, I think I am satisfied now." It really was quite humorous to her after all. He was trying to be nice? Hannah wasn't at all used to the whole nice thing... it took her off guard, almost like she expected people to be setting her up. "It's nothing..." It was something alright, but she just couldn't talk about it. She hadn't even confided in her closest friends so yeah, that was not going to happen.

"I'm a sixth year." She paused sizing him up. "You can't be more than a second year right?" He had to be a first year because of his size. She was pretty sure that she had never seen him around but he was a puffer and she didn't keep track of them.
