Aries pov:

"Let's go boys! Keep moving! We have a game next weekend, and are we going to lose?"

"No Sir!"

"Good. Are we going to win?"

"No Sir!"

"What are we going to do?"

"KILL!"

My voice was rough and heavy trying to respond back to Coach. I was sweating like crazy, pushing hundreds of pounds across the football field.

Just keep going. I thought, trying to remind my self, you only have about 20 minutes left. You got this.

I still remember that day very clearly. The work, the breathing, the feeling. It wasn't the football practice that I remember that day, but that's the only thing I will allow my self to think of.

Nothing else. Just me and the game.

And the 200 pounds of flesh trying to tackle me- but that's besides the point.

I heard a phone ring and shifted my focus back to him, "Alright boys keep working! You're doing.. you're getting better!" Coach yelled out and answered the phone.

"Yeah, he's here, why? I need him for practice. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Yea I'll let him know." he mumbled a goodbye and put the phone down, heading over to the team.

Now everyone was looking at him, wondering if that call was for them. I have to admit I was scared a little.

Luckily, I didn't have to wonder. Because it was me.

"Aries, go get your stuff from the locker room and go to the office. You're going home early."

I could feel the stares and the guilt that everyone had for me in their stomach.

That's what I hate the most.

Why are you so sorry for me? It's not like you're the one who killed him.

"Yes sir." I got up and slowly walked to the locker room as I could hear the scattered voices behind me.

{back to present time- still Aries pov}

"Aries, if you break another one of our cups by doing something stupid with Sag and Leo I'm literally going to stab your brains out with a fork." She huffed holding up a fork and imitated stabbing me.

I rolled my eyes, "Come on Libra, live a little!"

"I live!" She put her hands on her chest acting offended.

Leo chimed in, "Do you?" he smiled at her and she just pushed his head away and we all laughed.

"God this is stupid!" My head turned to see Gemini walking in with Sag as she complained.

"What happened?" Libra asked them.

"They're not letting us do any clubs or sports!" She threw her hands up, obviously very offended by this rule.

"Why not?" Leo sat up, suddenly interested.

"They want us to focus on our studies and trainings." Gemini answered taking a seat next to me.
