eight

15 minutes later everyone went back on the field.

joão was subbed and i gestured for him to come over to me.

"joão!" i smiled as he said hey

"how've ya been?" i asked him as we didn't talk
much

"eh been alright just thinking about which club i should go to." he told me knowing he wouldn't be at chelsea for long

i gave him a frown

"well good luck with that" i said not knowing what else to talk about

"how're you and mason?" joão asked me as i looked at him confused on how he could know.

"uhm we're... friends. why?" i asked him back

"no reason, i think he has something for you" he said as everyone started yelling, we both turned our heads to see what was happening and we found out chelsea had scored.

"kai always scores first, swear on that" i laughed about with scarlett.

"hey, at least someone did" she said shrugging her shoulders.

joão scooted closer to me so we were now touching. i was confused why he got so close.

"it's cold out here. they got me wearing these shorts." he chuckled

i gave him a soft smile while leaning closer to scarlett as i looked into the field and saw mason look at me and turn away quickly.

shit

i thought knowing he probably thought i got close to joão.

"hey you okay, you're shaking?" the boy next to me asked as he put his arm around me.

i looked over to scarlett as she gave me a "wtf are you doing" look. i just widened my eyes at her.

"uh i'm okay thanks." i said while moving his arm a bit.

i thought about it and knew joão didn't think of me like that. at least i thought. we were really close a few years ago, he was like my brother but we kinda lost contact as we both found our own people.

"joão" i said bluntly

"venus" joão said back.

"am i still your "sister"?" i questioned, hoping he'd say yes.

"of course, we haven't hung out or even talked in a while i miss you" he spoke

"me too." i said as i let out a sigh and got up to go get some water and a breath of fresh air.

as i came back i heard everyone yelling again.

"who scored?" i asked them both hoping it would be chelsea.

"chelsea, kai" they both said together.

"you think he'll score a hat trick???" i said getting excited

"i dunno, there's literally 19 minutes left." scarlett said as she was scanning the field

"it's kai, you never know." joão told scar

"you're so right" scarlett smiled back at him

"hopefully mason scores." i said while shaking my leg up and down.

"he looks pissed." scarlett said to me

"uh huh" i told her knowing he definitely felt awful.
