Chapter 12 - Soccer In the Park
Image isn't mine I found it on Pinterest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a Saturday, Zane said he was busy today so I'm by myself. I'm sitting in my room playing video games. *Knock knock* sounds the door. Then my Mum enters.
"What you up to in here?" She inquires.
"Just playing (favourite game)." I answer.
"That's fun, I was going to the park for a walk and was just wondering if you wanted to join." She suggests. I know this isn't really an option situation. If I say no, she'll insist I leave to get some fresh air. But I will admit I wouldn't mind getting out of here today.
"Sure, let me just save then I'll come down." I agree.
"Ok, see you soon." She then leaves to get ready. I finish my battle then save, put some shoes on and head down.
"Let's go!" My mum chimes.
~~~Time Skip~~~
We get to the park, we walk down the path and chat, it really is a nice day. The sun is out, but it's not too hot due to the nice breeze running through, allowing the trees to dance around us. We walk around a corner and we hear cheers from some people on the field, why do those voices sound familiar. I look over to see who it is, it's the Ro'meave's and Aphmau. I light up. My mum sees this.
"How about you go and hang out with your friends? I'll just keep walking the track. You know the way home when you're done." Mum suggests.
"Really? Thanks Mum!" I cheer then make my way over to my friends.
"Hey, Guys!" I yell. They all turn around.
"Hey, (Y/N)!" everyone chimes back.
"What's going on?" I inquire.
"We're forcing Zane to play soccer" Aphmau cheers.
Zane pulls down his mask "HELP" He mouths. I giggle a little bit. He then pulls it back up.
"He's not very enthusiastic about it though" Vylad adds.
"That's very Zane." I say as I smile at him knowingly.
"(Y/N), Can you please get Zane to do something!" Garroth pleads.
"Uhhh, ok. How about I take him to the side, and we do something simple." I suggest.
"Urgh, ok, don't take too long cause we only have one ball." Aphmau complains. I grab Zane and the ball and pull him away from the group.
"Ok, let's just do some simple kicks back and forth? How about that." I compromise.
"Fineeeeee." He accepts his fate. We kick the ball back and forth.
"How did you get into this?" I inquire, quietly so the others don't hear.
"Our mums are friends, so now we're stuck with Aphmau. My mum said she wanted me to get some exercise so now here we are, playing soccer... kinda." He explains, in the same quiet tone.
"Ohhh, I see." I express.
"Ok, times up" Aphmau yells at us. "Time to practice being goalie again Zane. I want you to TRY this time." She demands. Zane huffs and walks over to the goal. She kicks it a couple times, Zane doesn't do too much, he leans towards the ball but then it's already in.
"Urgh, come on Zane ACUTUALLY Try please." She begs. She kicks it again. This time really hard. *WHACK*!
"OWWW!" Zane yells and falls on the floor.
"ZANE!" I run over and crouch by him. He opens his eye and looks at me, then everyone else, who is now surrounding him.
"I'm so so so so so so so so soooooooooooo Sorry Zane" Aphmau apologises profusely.
"H-how bad is it (Y/N)?" He asks, now sitting and looking into my worried eyes.
"I-it's not that bad, it's just your eye is all red." I lean closer and move a piece of hair away from his pained eye. His eye widens.
"T-that's probably enough for today." Garroth stutters. "Let's take him back to the meet up spot." We then bring Zane to a bench in the middle of the park.
"I will admit I wasn't really expecting you to block it with your face." Garroth teases.
"SHUTUP GARROTH" Zane yells.
"I really am so so soooo sorry Zane! I didn't mean to, I'm terrible at aiming!" Aphmau apologises for the twentieth time. Zane huffs. Soon Zianna and another woman around the same age walk up to us.
"OH! My ZUZU! What happened!" Zianna comes over and crouches by him. Aphmau starts apologising for the twenty-first time.
"Oh, that's all, he'll be fine I've got three boys, he's been through worse." she admits then walks over to her friend. "Oh, wait, Hi (Y/N)! I didn't see you there. When did you show up?" She ponders, as Aphmau bickers with her mother.
"Oh, I was on a walk with my Mum and saw everyone, so I came and joined in." I admit.
"Oh, that's sweet of you!" She chimes. She then rambles to Aphmau's mum about an old street and how all of them used to play together when they were younger. With the end result being the two families having dinner together. I think it's time I take my leave. I stand up and walk over to the edge of the group.
"Bye, everyone! I should head home. I'll see you guys' next week." I chime. Everyone farewells me, then I begin the walk back home. Until I feel a tug at my shirt.
"(Y/N)!" Zane calls. I turn around to see him behind me. "I-I just wanted to say thank you for worrying about me, not many people often do..." He stutters.
"It's alright Zane. That's what friends do." I smile at him. He hugs me, and I hug back. We separate.
"I should probably go and prepare for this torturous dinner..." He heaves.
"Yeah, I'll see you next week." I farewell, I turn back around and head home.
