Break Through The Mask

It's FOOTBALL not SOCCER o mah gah

"So, Robin made me make you guys play soccer today so yeah," the substitute teacher, Garrick, said. Normally he was the IT teacher. ((Yo check out kuledud3 on Youtube right now. He's fucking awesome. And Xycron.))

"What happened to mr. Nelson?" one guy raised his hand and asked.

"He's busy. With something...." Jonathan swore he saw the man blush. Garrick coughed. "Anyway, I'm gonna let the new guy be one team picker and then... Steven."

"Which Steven?" Galm smirked as the four Stevens who were right next to eachother laughed.

Garrick snickered as well. "Suptic Steven."

"Aww," the Steven with a green striped shirt, pouted as he took his place next to Jonathan. "Four Stevens.....what in the everloving hell?" Jonathan asked him. "Yeah, we have nicknames to differentiate. So I'm Hwnt, he's Ze, he's Aid and he's just Steven," he pointed. Jonathan chuckled as the Steven with the wolf mask pouted of not having a legitimate nickname. ((:3))

"Pick already!" Garrick crossed his arms.

"You go first," Jonathan said. Hwnt nodded.

Eventually, Jonathan's team consisted of Evan, Lui, Craig, John (Smarty), Ze Steven and two guys nicknames L00ni and Sub. They refused to say their real names for unknown reasons. ((If you know who those two are, I will love you forever.))

Everybody agreed for Ze to be the middle and the one to kick the ball into the game. He went against Tyler.

Garrick blew the whistle and the game started, Tyler getting the ball. His teammates ran in front of him to get the ball as Tyler kicked it to Galm. Galm ran but got bamboozled by L00ni who kicked it to Evan in the distance. Evan got the ball and tried to run ahead of Brock.

"Sub!" Evan shouted and kicked the ball to Sub who quickly took off towards the goal. The goal keeper was David. Sub smirked slightly as he kicked the ball. It would've nearly hit the goal post but it went in.

"Yes!" L00ni grinned as he and Sub high-fived. Jonathan chuckled. David kicked the ball into the field as Cody took off to the opposite side with it. He kicked it to Marcel when he got blocked by Smarty. Marcel ran.

Lui ran to him and tried to block. The ball went back and forth between their feet. L00ni joined in, getting the ball and running. But during that he had managed to trip Marcel who fell. As a reflex he grabbed Lui's shirt, making him fall with him.

"Oh shit, sorry!" L00ni exclaimed but then let out a laugh when he saw the position they were in. Marcel had pulled Lui on top of him.

"Sorry!" Lui squeaked unintentionally in his kid voice, jumping up, face red. "No, I-I'm sorry. I pulled you." Marcel stood up and smiled nervously, face as red as Lui's.

"Hey lovebirds! Get your head back in he game!" the teacher shouted. And everybody snickered except Lui and Marcel, who blushed even more.

Meanwhile all that shit Wolf mask Steven had scored a goal. "Wohoo!" he cheered. Craig, assigned as the goal keeper, chuckled and kicked the ball back to the field. Jonathan got the ball and ran. Suprisingly he ran all the way so he was already weared out when trying to goal. David blocked the ball and kicked it to Galm, who ran away.

"You okay there?" David chuckled as Jonathan gasped for breath. "No," Jonathan let out a big sigh and jogged back to the middle. David looked around and saw Evan staring at Jonathan with a worried look. Arlan, assigned as the defense in front of the goal, snickered as he saw it too. "It's pretty much confirmed now."

David looked at Arlan. Arlan looked at David. Then they both grinned, "We must make it happen!" they said almost synchronised.

Meanwhile, Tyler had gotten the ball as he ran straight towards the goal. He grinned evilly when he saw Craig's eyes narrowing, ready to block. Tyler took a sharp left, avoiding L00ni, and ran pretty much in front of the goal. Craig raised an eyebrow as Tyler kept approaching. Tyler was almost in front of him when he kicked to the right. Craig couldn't block and froze as Tyler almost collided with him, trying to slow down.

Tyler stopped one millimeter away from Craig, smirking wildly. "What the fuck?" Craig whispered, cheeks turning pink. Tyler just turned around and walked away. Craig's legs gave out beneath him as he fell down, making a slight thud noise. Tyler stopped and looked at Craig, eyes widening. Craig shuddered.

"....You okay?" Tyler asked. 'Wait why am I asking that! I couldn't care less....could i?' Craig just looked up at him. Tyler blinked, seeing...fear in Craig's eyes?

Both stayed silent. Lui didn't even dare to start running with the ball, eyeing the two. "Uhh guys?" he called out.

"You guys okay?" Garrick had walked to the field. "We're fine," Craig stood up. 'What?'  Tyler thought.

"Yeah," he said and ran away.

Jonathan blinked and turned to Evan, "What just happened?"

"I think Tyler just realised he can't hate Craig forever." Evan answered.

The game ended up with Hwnt Steven's team winning 5 to 3. Well, his team had one person more so it would be kinda logical.

Tuesday was a short day so Gym was the last period they had.

"So uhh....Delirious," Evan averted Jonathan's attention to him. "The staying over thing, yeah?"

'Oh yeah....fuck.' "Yeah. So do I come over immediately or..."

"What stay over?" David asked. "2nd of September thing. His sister was worried." Evan said.

"Wait. What exactly happens on the 2nd of September then?" Jonathan asked.

"I uhh...I'll tell you when we get home." Evan put on his red jacket.

David looked at Arlan and smirked, wiggling his eyebrows. Arlan snickered. Craig raised an eyebrow at them but didn't bother asking as he put on his black long-sleeved shirt. He saw his phone light up in his locker. He took it out and looked at it.

His face went blank when he saw that it was Tyler. He never knew why he couldn't delete his number off his phone.

It was a message.

I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry for being too much of a pussy to apologize to you face to face even though you're like 10 feet away from me right now.

-Tyler

Craig dropped his phone. "Shit!" he exclaimed and picked it back up. "You okay there?" Lui asked. "Yeah, just have butterfingers today for some reason..." Craig lied. He turned around and saw Tyler staring at him. He almost would've yelped but stopped himself.

Tyler blinked at him and then picked up his bag, already having dressed back to his normal clothes. "Well, see ya guys." he slung his backpack around his shoulder.

"You don't want a ride?" Evan asked.

"Nah, I'l just walk." Tyler left the room.

"....But you hate walking." Evan frowned and looked at Craig. "Did you do something?"

"What? Me? Absolutely not! He's the one who-" Craig stopped himself. Everyone stared at him.

Craig felt like crying for some reason. "I... Whatever. See you guys tomorrow. Unless someone wants to play tonight?"

"I wanna play with you guys again!" Brock grinned.

"Oh yessssssssss," Lui smiled.

"Welp. Like at 5 then?" Craig asked.

"Yeah, sounds good," Brock smiled.

"Okay bye, guys." Craig left the locker room. He let out a sigh as he walked to the school's entrance.

It was raining outside. Craig sighed. He hadn't brought an umbrella or anything hoodie-related. So he just let himself get soaked as he waited for the school bus at the bus stop.

A few minutes later it came and he and the other people at the stop got in.

Craig sat down and rubbed his eyes. And only now did he realise that he had been silently crying in the midst of the rain.

Have this piece of shit chapter that I wrote. And now I will dissapear for 2 months because all my motivation to even get out of bed in the morning is gone.

Thanks for reading my crappy story.
