Blue Lock: 13 Steps

The Second First

It was a quiet morning for Sho as he sat down at his desk writing down his goals. He folded up the small piece of paper and put it into the drawer. He got into a matching black t-shirt and shorts and was quickly interrupted by Yoruichi as she said

Yoruichi: "Sho breakfast is ready"

Getting out of his chair, he went to eat his food. Yoruichi made omelets and a vegetable smoothie. As Sho sat himself at the table, he heard his phone beep and noticed he had gotten a message, he took his phone out of his pocket, opened it, and read out a message he got from Bachira.

Bachira: "Could you come over in about a hour"

Sho: "Yeah sure, I'll be there as soon as I finish my breakfast with my family."

Sho finished with his nutritional breakfast and made his way out of the ryokan. He lightly jogged until he reached Bachira's house.

He knocked on Bachira's door and politely waited for him to open it. He was greeted with Bachira's mom pointing towards the kitchen and said

Bachira's mom: "Bachira's in the kitchen getting a bagel."

Sho helped himself in and walked to the kitchen as Bachira's mom closed the door and went into the living room to finish her painting. As Sho was walking to the kitchen, Bachira walked out of the kitchen with a bagel in his mouth and went to high five Sho. Before their hands met Bachira karate chopped his head. With a mischievous grin Bachira took the bagel out of his mouth and said

Bachira: "Let's talk in my room, I've got some questions for you."

Bachira opened and closed the door for Sho as they both sat on the floor of his room. In between them was a small tv, broadcasting a professional football match.

Bachira: "We haven't talked about it but I wanted to ask if you were gonna be going to the local middle school?"

Sho closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He handed the invitation he got to Shizuoka Gakuen Junior High School to Bachira and waited for what he had to say. Bachira took Sho's hand and surprisingly said

Bachira: "Holy cow, you got an invitation to that school. I'm happy for you, If I were in your shoes I'd take this opportunity and have some fun."

Sho was grateful to hear this, he should have known better than to think Bachira would get angry at him. Sho smiled and said

Sho: "I was expecting you to get a little angry but we can still play together during the weekends. It sucks that we're both 12 and can't be a part of Suruga F.C..

Bachira: "Oh right I totally forgot that Suruga F.C. was for ages 12 and under. I always wondered why Ryuuji left when he entered middle school."

Both Bachira and Sho cleared their heads and settled their differences, spending the rest of the day watching football games, and practicing new football moves.

TIMESKIP (2 WEEKS)

'Another first day of school huh'

Sho thought as he awoke. Putting on his white collared shirt, with a dark blue tie, a dark blue blazer and long dark blue trousers that went around his ankles. He crossed off the first Friday of school off the calendar.
