19. crushing on someone popular is probably painful

[ a/n; THIS CHAPTER IS SO LONG OVER THREE THOUSAND WORDS i hope you enjoy it nonetheless. the OC call is still open if you'd like me to add your OC to this story ^ v ^ ]

The chairman has offered the soccer team to rebuild the shabby clubroom - or shed in this case. Natsumi was excited to finally knock down that old thing and get it rebuilt, but Endou didn't want to. He believed the energy, hopes and dreams of the original Inazuma Eleven were still prominent in the clubroom. He didn't want to change a thing, and this logic of his had convinced everyone else.

When everyone was heading to the soccer field to train, cheers from other students could be hear. They wished everyone good luck, and Park couldn't help but feel embarrassed to have all those eyes on her

"Kazemaru-san!" Suddenly, someone called out to the teal haired boy.

"Miyasaka!" Kazemaru came to a halt to greet his old friend from the track team. "It's been a while, how's training been going?"

"Training has been going well! Are you heading off to practice?" Miyasaka asked with a bright smile on his face, and glitter in his eyes.

"Yeah!" Kazemaru chirped with a charming smile of his own. A smile that could make anyone's heart beat palpitate.

"When will you be coming back to the track team?" Miyasaka asked, but didn't receive an answer. "Oh come on! You said you were going to help the soccer team out temporarily."

"Temporarily. . ." Kazemaru trailed off. "Right." How could he possibly tell Endou and the others he only joined to help out temporarily? Then again, how could he tell his old club members that he wasn't going back to them? He was stuck.

Just then, Endou had ran past the two, but came to a stop once he noticed Kazemaru wasn't following after him.

"Something wrong, Kazemaru? Are you coming?" The goalkeeper asked, not sparing a glance towards Miyasaka - who had an obvious frown on his face. To Miyasaka, Endou was interrupting their chat, and he didn't appreciate that. Miyasaka hadn't gotten to speak to Kazemaru in so long, Endou had no right to pull Kazemaru away from him.

"Go on ahead of me, I'll be back in a moment." Kazemaru responded, which turned Miyasaka's frown right back into a smile.

"Uh, sure!" Endou didn't pay much mind to it, unlike Gouenji. 

In the end, Kazemaru went off with Miyasaka.

When Kazemaru got to the track field, everyone was so excited to see him again. They all swarmed him as if he were a celebrity, and in this case, he kind of was. Kazemaru was doing so well on the soccer team, he was bound to catch the attention of many people. Everyone was watching Raimon's fight against Teikoku, everyone saw what he could do.

They all asked him again, when would he be returning to the track club? Just like when Miyasaka asked, Kazemaru didn't have an answer. Kazemaru was so involved he completely forgot about joining the soccer team just to help for a short while. He was having so much fun playing soccer with everyone, it hadn't dawned upon him that his old team was waiting for his return.

Meanwhile, everyone on the soccer club was practicing their heart out.

"I wonder what happened to Kazemaru. . ." Endou muttered under his breath, but loud enough for Kurimatsu to hear.

"Park-chan! Let's go get him!" Kurimatsu chirped. The white haired girl was in the middle of dribbling, but she couldn't refuse someone like Kurimatsu. Hell, she couldn't say no to anyone on the team when they asked a favor or for help.

"Sure!" Park passed the ball over to Handa, before following after Kurimatsu.

"Thanks guys!" Endou called out to them as they left.
