Olivia's POV:

"That girl is damn serious about charity." Coach muttered to me as the whistle blows at another one of Kira's hard tackles to the Devenford players but this time she didn't have the ball.

Scott quickly yanks off his helmet as he approaches her but within seconds, she harshly bumps his shoulder as she runs back to her position.

"Should I check on the Devenford players, Coach?" I ask, seeing as some of them got escorted to the bench as their replacements took their spots.

He scoffs. "Of course not!"

Once the referee blows the whistle, Scott gets the ball passed to him and instantly Kira runs straight towards another Devenford player. Before she could tackle the lacrosse player, Brett runs in from the other side and shoulder checks her which  sends her to slam her back to the ground.

"Oh!" The crowd shouts in unison.

"Not so tough now, are you?" I hear Brett remark to Kira as she sat up from the ground.

Instantly she pushes herself up from the floor and swings her lacrosse stick which smacks Brett across the face. The impact alone causes his helmet to slide off as Brett collapsed to the floor and painfully clutch onto his face.

Oh shit.

The referee quickly rushes up to her with a glare and points to our bench. "You! You're done. Get off the field!" He angrily says, causing Kira to let out a huff as she marches off of the field.

Instead of coming to sit on the bench, she continues to walk towards the school and I almost follow after her but a girl stands in my way with a sincere smile.

"I'll handle it." She says with a smile and instantly I remember she was Brett's sister Lori. "They still need you out here just in case."

"Thanks." I whisper and she nods before she quickly runs after Kira.

Phoebe's POV:

"Andrew's, F." I read off the label with annoyance before I shove the duffel bag back inside the cabinet. "This was a waste of time."

"Twenty-five pairs of shoes. No blood." Corey muttered. The bus doors suddenly squeak open and the three of us to freeze in our spots.

I place my hand on Corey as he pulls Mason close to him before he grabs one of the seats, causing the three of us to turn invisible.

A Devenford Lacrosse player walks through the aisle but stops in the middle  and cautiously looks around in suspicion, almost as if he felt like he's being watched.

I mean, he pretty much was.

He clicks open the cabinet and pulls out his duffle bag before quickly leaving the bus and shutting the doors behind him.

Corey makes us visible again and I move my hands off of him as I dust myself off.

"We should go." Mason spoke up, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Yeah."

I turn to the two boys and seeing their longing expressions causes me quickly look away. "Okay, at least wait until I'm out of the bus." I mutter before I walk out of the bus.

I walk to the bleachers and my eyes lit up, seeing Hayden sitting in the bleachers as she watched the lacrosse game.

Once I turn to the field, I watch in time to see Liam get slammed to the ground which causes the crowd to 'ooh' in unison.

Olivia quickly runs to the field with her kit, seeing that he laid still on the ground with Brett and Scott crouched down to his level.

I walk up to the stairs and plop next to Hayden which causes her to jump. "Phoebe?"
