//PERTH//

"PERTH THE BALL" I heard my teammate shout at me frantically. I quickly kicked the ball to my teammate, but it was stolen quickly by our enemy and ran to the other side. Suddenly, I felt a hand patting my back "you should let someone take over your spot if you aren't feeling yourself today" I looked at my teammate who gave me a comforting look. After the opposite side shot a goal I signed to the referee to put me on the bench and send a substitute to fill in my space.

Settling on the bench, the first thing I impulsively did was to find him. I realized what I was doing and chugged down the water that the staff gave to me. After a while, Nanon and Ohm came over to check on me but I couldn't help but check if he was with them. I sighed in relief and assured them that I'm doing alright.

I let myself calm down and make myself distracted from the situation which kind of did work but then I find myself thinking about the situation again. After a few rounds of waking myself up, I decided to get back on the field.

After the goalkeeper threw the ball to the other side, I quickly caught it with my foot which was challenging, since I was met with a few components. I successfully made my way through them and finally scored a goal. I saw the components I encountered glare at me but didn't think much of it, and thought that they were probably just upset that I scored it.

Another round started and I suddenly noticed that they were teaming up on me and sort of targeting me. I stole the ball from and a guy suddenly harshly bumped my chest and stomach, his arms hitting my chest and his elbow stabbing my stomach. I fell down to the ground and looked at the referee and counted it as a foul. A teammate of mine then proceeded to help me, I looked over and saw that the guy that bumped into me was getting yelled at. Like it was an unsuccessful plan of theirs. I let one of my teammates score the goal for me which successfully went in the net, winning us the game. After all of the commotions and after I got the medal, the team insisted on me keeping the trophy which I eventually gave into. Due to the pain I couldn't help but hold my stomach and take deep breaths.

After getting some treatment on my bruise, I went into the parking lot and got into my car. I lock the doors and put the trophy safely on the passenger seat. I pull out my keys and turn on the engine. I then left the parking lot and got into the road.

After a while of driving, I got a glimpse of a red car just a few cars behind me. I didn't think much of it and took a turn on the other side to get remedy. I looked at the side mirror and saw the same car just a few cars behind me again but much closer. I got a little suspicious about it and took another turn, and still found that the red car was a few cars behind me. I took another turn but still saw him on my site. That's when I knew for sure I was getting followed. I quickly attempted to act and take turns each time I got but this car always caught up to me, they probably know by now that I'm trying to lose them.

I looked at my side mirror and saw that they were catching up to me, I saw a stoplight for only a few seconds before going red. I pressed down on the accelerator and tried my best to get there as soon as possible, luckily for me a car suddenly overtook line in front of the car following me and gave me enough time to pass the stoplight by the last second.               

I slowly start to put my guard down and look at the side mirror one last time to take a good look at the plate number. It looked strangely familiar.

I took another route to make sure I really did lose them. I looked at the time and suddenly realized that I've been trying to lose them for about more than an hour.
