SKYLA’S P.O.V
All of a sudden I saw Jack run out of the field.
Chloe sighed.
“I knew he’d be scared” Tess said watching him run as we saw Silvia and Willy running towards the field.
“Him?” Tess asked laughing.
“What? No belief in your cousin?” I asked her.
“As if” Tess said as we watched Mark allow Willy into the team but they still need Jack now.
“Come on…let’s help search for him….he’s probably in the bathroom” I said sighing walking with the soccer club to look for jack.
*******************************
“How did you fit in there?” I asked Jack who was squeezed in a tiny locker.
“Last time I checked a toilet stall was larger than that” Tess asked with a raised brow.
“Thanks for your help girls….Mark will handle this from here” Nathan said.
“He’d better….you guys should hurry though…Royal is known for their…impatience” I said leaving with my dance squad back to the field…a while later the match started with Jude leaving the ceremonial coin toss to indicate peace between both teams.
“At long last it’s time for the exhibition match between royal academy and Raimon middle school”
“Okay captains….it’s time for the coin toss” The referee said as Jude walked away.
“Mr. Sharp…coin toss” The referee said.
“We don’t need that” Jude said “Let these guys choose”
“Oh what is this? The captain of Royal Academy has thrown down the lightness of our beloved Mark Evans.” Chester said.
“He’s the commentator…huh?” I said sitting on the grass my back against a tree with my eyes closed and arms crossed as my dance squad stood under the tree…hands on their hips watching the match closely.
“Chester halls from the chess club….another geek” Tess said.
“Find him out later girls…I want a little chit-chat with him about his words” I said snapping my fingers as Chloe nodded.
“You got it captain” Chloe said.
“This is no time to be introducing myself…the ball is on the center spot and it looks like raimon will be taking the kick-off they’ve been given” Chester continued.
“Does he know…anything about soccer?” Tess snorted.
“It doesn’t look like it” Chelsea said. “Willy is really excited”
“I can feel Jack’s anxiety from over here” Diana said.
The referee blew the whistle and they were off… I opened my eyes to watch the match…no point detailing anything much….I’m not on the field so I’m not noticing tiny details...my perspective is straight to the point totally ignoring Chester’s unnecessary comments meaning I’m not listening to whatever he’s saying.
Kevin dodged David and one other guy’s slide tackle passing it to Nathan who passed it back to Kevin then to Max to Sam who just passed the ball to anyone but Kevin got it trying to shoot but Joseph caught it.
I sighed….
“They’re not obviously going to score a goal just now.” I sighed.
“They’re thinking royal is an average team…isn’t that so?” Chloe asked.
“That won’t go well” Tess stated.
Joseph gave the ball to Jude as Jude gave it to his teammate using an ordinary shoot to score a goal.
“And….it’s started” Diana said.
“That was totally an ordinary shoot…what are they going to do about the specials?” Rachel said.
“Mark will think of something” I said…. “If not they lose and no one was expecting otherwise anyway…not much of a difference”
“Royal scored within a second of taking position? Chester’s exaggerating” Tess said as Diana nodded.
“It’s only been 2 minutes.” Chelsea said.
“As it is our school is filled with whack-o” I said.
We continued watching them being beat up pretty badly by royal academy till the whistle for first half was blown.
We looked at the scoreboard. 10-0 royal is ten….raimon none
I clenched my fist.
“Where’s that one point?” I asked
“As usual….Royal takes the glory” Tess shrugged.
“They’ll get it….if captain says so...they will” Chloe said.
“Fine” Tess said calming down and watching the second half now starting.
Royal started a kick-off as I realized something.
“Bobby isn’t there” I said sadly.
“Bobby?” Tess asked.
“Oh come on Skyla” Chloe said.
“Let’s focus on what royal is doing right now” Chelsea said.
“It’s obvious…they don’t play an exhibition match unless they need something” I said…”Axel’s former school played an unfinished match against them”
“They probably want him to play then” Chloe said.
“Maybe….Or Ray Dark just wants us back on the pitch” I said.
“No…. We’re done with royal academy” Tess shook her head.
“No more” Chloe said.
“We’re dancers now” Rachel said.
“That was a thought guys” I face palmed.
We watched them initiate death zone.
“You’re right” Diana said. “They want something”
They hit them continuously with cyclone and wrath shot and every other move they could think of.
Even….
“No” Tess said gasping.
“Aye, he almost caught it” Chloe said.
“Wrath shot….so far no emperor penguin yet” I said. “They’re good”
“There’s no one left only Willy-kins” Evelyn said blushing as we rolled our eyes at her, she’s crushing on him major time and it’s sickening.
‘Willy kins’ apparently ran off the field like the coward he is throwing his jersey down.
“Oh” Evelyn said blushing at Willy running away with his inner on.
“Get a grip” Tess scoffed at the blushing mess.
Royal’s point was 19 and for the score for raimon….it’s constantly zero.
Mark stood up yet again amidst Royal’s mocking.
“Skyla….you should do something, like your sisters would” Clarissa said.
“I….want to but I can’t….I can’t bring him back….i won’t mess my family up” I clenched my fist.
“Even if it means saving the soccer club.” I said.
We heard the whistle to see 20 goals there.
“That’s it…I must’ve expected a lot” I sighed getting up when I heard Chester announce Axel’s name.
“Freshman with amazing kicks, eh?” I smiled sitting down again.
“I’ve heard about him” Chloe said.
“Let’s hope that one goal comes now” Tess said.
“He’s the only one there…there’s no way” Rachel scoffed.
“Yes there is a way” I smirked.
“What the heck…he’s hot though….” Tess smiled as I felt a bit weird….I looked at Axel...Meh, I can’t be doing this again…I thought bobby should be the last…I’ll have to see where this goes then.
We watched as the referee allowed Axel’s substitution.
“Wow…Axel you took your sweet time” Mark said as Axel caught him from falling….I couldn’t hear the rest because the rest of my squad were fangirling like there’s no tomorrow.
“Tch….He’s not that great…do you mind? I’m trying to watch the soccer game” I yelled at them.
“S-sorry” They apologized sheepishly as I sighed watching the club now on their feet and playing with new found motivation.
Royal tried death zone again as axel ran ahead towards Royal’s goal post.
I watched Mark get a special move…God Hand…guess that unintelligible writing did do some good….if I’m even more correct, God Hand was the one he was practicing for all the while.
Mark shot it to Axel who caught it and jumped into the air doing his own special
“FIRE TORNADO” Axel said sending the ball bam into that post getting a point for Raimon’s soccer club.
“There’s that one goal” I smiled.
“And it was scored by Axel” The girls sighed dreamily even Evelyn.
Everyone cheered generally for Axel partly because they thought he was in the soccer club.
The referee announced that Royal academy withdrew from the game meaning we won the game…Raimon won by forfeit.
“Are you kidding?” I face palmed.
“Something is way too off” I muttered seeing the girls gushing about Axel.
‘And they’re acting like idiots…Tch’ I thought looking away back to the pitch to see Axel shirtless.
“What now?” I muttered covering my eyes as the girls squealed taking pictures of him.
I tch-ed leaving the field and clenching my fists leaving my squad hopelessly fangirling
“If he’s such a hero now….why won’t he join the team?” I wondered leaving for home since the match was after school anyway and I was going to visit Skylar tomorrow with Skye.
