(F/n)'s eyes widen and he scoffs. "What about Myles?" "I'll dump him when I get bored. Anyway. We should head back." Ava leans into (N) as they walk away and loudly speaks. "I can't wait to be in your arms again tonight!" After walking away a few steps the two turn to see (F/n) already leaving.

"I was hoping he would say something. Maybe even fight but he didn't. I guess he doesn't care about me." Ava says sadly and Myles shakes his head. "Don't say that Ava! I'm sure (F/n) cares. He's your brother." "I think you should head home Ava. You're missing school and I'm sure your parents are worried." The girl shakes her head at (N). "I can't go back. Not until (F/n) gets better. Maybe...maybe if he gets back into the soccer team he'll change." (N) crosses his arms.

"That's not gonna happen. Especially with the way things ended." "But we have to try!"

Ava sits in between Myles and (N). "He didn't come to school today." "I went by the dorms and Chelsea said she didn't see him all day." Myles pats Ava's head and sighs. "We can't ask (F/n) to join the soccer team if we can't find him." Ava stands up with a smile. "I'll go ask the soccer team myself." "What? We're not letting you go by yourself." "(N)'s right. We're coming with you."

The trio stand in the soccer team locker room as a member stares them down. "(F/n) Lee?" "Yes. Just for one semester." "Please let him play." The guy glares at (N) and Myles and scoffs. "I'll never let that bastard play again. Now scram!" Ava steps forward. "Please let my brother play! I know what he did was immature but he still deserves a second chance! I know some people call him a good for nothing-"

"Of course, people call him a good for nothing! It's true!" "Him and the people he hangs out with!" "I thought you knew better (N). But you're just like him." "The boy is a good fit for (F/n). He got held back a grade right?" (N) protectively moves in front of Myles and glares at the soccer players as they laugh.

"Sorry to drop by unexpectedly but you seem like the right person to share our problem with." Tsumiki smiles at (N). "It's no problem at all. Many people come here for help. Could you tell me what happened between (F/n) and the soccer team?" (N) looks at Ava who nods. "Back when (F/n) was a freshman he had just joined the soccer team. So the guys turned him into a lackey. Some stupid hierarchy and as you know (F/n) fought back. Right after that, we met for the first time. I had gotten into a fight myself and we both ended up in the principal's office. Then we started hanging out."

(N) stares at his cup of tea and looks up. "Anyway because of the fight, the soccer team had to pull out of the rookie tournament and (F/n) quit." "Even after 3 years. The soccer team still holds a grudge." Myles says with a frown. Tsumiki hums and looks at Ava. "Even if the team accepted him. Do you think he would have any fun playing with a team like that?" "No, but I'm sure soccer can still turn his life around."

(F/n) rolls his eyes and turns to (N). "Gotta staring problem?" "Where were you yesterday?" "It's none of your business." (E/c) eyes narrow. "Fine. But what about Ava? Aren't you worried about her?" "That's ironic coming from you. I'm too busy with Clara to worry about her. Since you're her boyfriend I'm leaving her in your care." (N) grits his teeth and stands up.

"What are you getting so pissed for? It doesn't matter." "Doesn't matter?!" (N) yells and grabs (F/n)'s collar. "It matters! Do you have any idea what Ava is doing right now?! Go ask the soccer team!" (F/n)'s eyes darken and he stands up. "You really want to do this (N)?" Hannah rushes over and pulls the two apart. The sliver-haired twins and Rose rush into the room. "What's going on in here?!" "Why're you two fighting?" "(N) wait!" The girls call out as the teen walks away.

"You guys fought?" "Yea. I lost my temper for a second." "I see." (N) sighs and looks at Ava. "You're still not giving up huh?" "Nope." "Alright let's go. Myles leave everything to us." The black male frowns at his boyfriend. "No. I'm coming to. What if something bad happens?" "If a fight breaks out I can't look after you and Ava at the same time." Myles smiles and gently holds Ava's shoulder. "If that happens I'll just grab Ava and run." "You really pick the worst times to be stubborn."

After begging relentlessly (N) bows his head to the soccer player. "Oh? You really aren't the same punk you used to be (N). Fine. You three will be our ball boys. Now get to it!" The soccer team kicks the balls out of bounds and taunts the trio. The three pant for air as a ball flies over their head. (N) runs after it calling out to Ava and Myles. "You two take a break!" Ava drops to the ground as a ball hits her stomach.

(N) and Myles rushes over as the soccer team cheers. "Ava!" "Please don't push yourself!" The girl stands up with a grimace. "I'm fine. Don't worry." A ball flies overhead and a player yells. "Hey! Get the ball dumbass!" "Right!" Ava quickly runs after the ball.

The trio stands in the soccer locker room covered in dirt. "We put all the soccer balls back," Ava says and a player waves her off. "Right right." "So umm about my brother (F/n)." "No. We don't want trash like him on our team." "He's a loser who can't even come here himself!" "Sending over his little sister like a bitch! Ha!" Tears run down Ava's face. "You're wrong! My brother is coming!"

"He's not coming! Go home!" "No, he will! My brother always comes when I'm in trouble!" One of the soccer players chuckles and snatches Ava's arm and pulls it. "Why don't you cry louder?!" "Stop! That hurts!" (N) glares and steps forward causing the other players to stand up. Myles gasps and reaches out for him. "(N) wait." "I'm sorry Myles but I can't hold back anymore!" Just as that sentence left the teen's mouth (F/n) runs in and punches the player.

"Don't make my little sister cry! You mess with her and I'll kick your asses!" The soccer members quickly attack (F/n) as (N) calls out to Myles. "Myles! Take Ava outta here!" "Right!"

Rain pours down from the sky as the soccer team runs away from (N) and (F/n). "You bastard." "Who are you calling a bastard?" (N) scoffs as rain falls on his face. "You. None of this would've happened if you had your goddamn act together. What a terrible brother you are." (F/n) stands up and (N) follows. "You wanna go?" "Yea let's go." Myles holds Ava as the girl cries. "C'mon, you two! That's enough!" "Please don't fight!"

(N) and (F/n) glare at each other and (N) tackles (F/n). He throws a punch. "Bastard! What kind of brother doesn't take care of his sister?! Did you even consider her feelings?!" (F/n) catches (N)'s fist and pushes back. "I did!" "Bullshit! She starts sleeping with a guy like me and you don't fight back!" "I didn't fight back because it was you!"

(N) freezes and (F/n) punches him off and stands up. "What's your problem?! You dump Myles and date Ava! Why didn't you protect her!" "Shut up!" The two exchange blows and (F/n) tackles (N). Myles runs over and yells. "Stop it! Stop fighting already!" (F/n) looks at Myles confused only to get punched by (N). He groans about to get up but Ava jumps on him. "Please stop (F/n)! I'm sorry big brother! I didn't mean to!" "Ava." (F/n) hugs his sister as Myles holds (N).

"I don't know. Are you sure you should come to school?" "I'm fine Myles. I'm not that hurt." The couple stopped walking as (F/n) walked in front of them. The two bandaged-up males stare at each other before bursting out laughing.

"Look there she is. Just go ask." "Oh man, now I'm getting nervous!" "You giving up?" "Not at all. Watch!" (F/n) runs up to Ash and bows. "Hello, ma'am!" "Hmm. Oh, you're that (F/n) kid. What's up?" "Please allow me to date Clara! I know I'm a bit young but I promise to take care of her!" "What?" (N) covers his mouth as Clara and Myles exit the bakery. "What's all the noise, honey?" "Honey?!" (F/n) gawks as Myles looks at a laughing (N).

"You still didn't tell (F/n) that my aunts are married?" "Married?! You're not sisters?!" Ash blinks slowly and calmly steps on her lit cigarette. (F/n) backs up as the woman rolls up her sleeves. "You trying to steal my wife you punk?!" "No, I ahhhh!" Ash chases after (F/n) as Clara and Myles follow her. (N) holds his stomach as he laughs louder.
