Goal!: The Final Chapter!

Chapter 36

Four days later...

The Ironheart Knights play against the UC Davis Girls Soccer Team.

At the baseball field's dugouts, Nora seemed very disappointed.

"Look, I'm just saying that she did it by accident." said Maire, trying to explain to Nora. "She didn't mean to."

"Let me see how bad it is." said Coach Mica, as she removed the white tape from Maire's nose. "When was this?"

Maire sighs.

"Yesterday." answered Maire

"Hm, what do you think Grandmother?" said Khole, as she stood next to Maire and Coach Mica, before taking another look at Maire's nose.

"From the looks of it, it's not that bad of a hit, but either way... The refs won't allow you to go in, unless you have some protection on there." said Coach Mica, as she walks to her medical duffle bag. "Where is it? Ah-ha! Here, it is Maire, a new and improved sports shield."

"Um, thanks Coach Mica, but I still have mine." said Maire

"Oh, no, no, no, but that's old. This however, is a new one." said Coach Mica, as she hands Maire her new sports shield.

Maire puts the new sports shield on, and the sports shield adjusts itself on Maire's face.

"Cool." said Brooke

"Yeah, but why Grey?" asked Brynn, as she looked at Coach Mica.

"Because of our uniforms." said Coach Mica

"Hmph." said Nora, with a grunt.

"It was an accident Nora, trust me." said Maire

"Oh, Maire, I do trust you. It's just that, it's Tobin, I don't trust that's all." admitted Nora, as she finally admits.

"Seriously, even after singing karaoke with her," said Clara, while turning to Nora.

"Fine, you're right. But I am keeping an eye on her." said Nora, looking at Tobin from the dugouts.

Meanwhile, at the baseball field's bleachers, Gael was sitting along with Leah and Tobin, watching the game.

"So Tobin, how does it feel to be sleeping in at the Hernandez family's home?" asked Leah, while pretending to have a mic in her hand.

"It feels great! And very (homely)." said Tobin, in response along with a smile.

"Yes, but can you know please tell us why Maire has a bruise on her nose?" asked Leah, while Tobin stopped smiling, and let out a grimace reaction while looking away from Leah.

"T-That was an accident," said Tobin, as she could barely speak. "I really didn't mean to hit her, I-I mean if I knew that I was half asleep then maybe I would've stopped myself. I'm sorry Gael, for accidentally hitting your sister."

"It's okay, Tobin. We know that it was an accident and we know that you didn't mean it." said Gael, accepting Tobin's apology, for the tenth time. "Stuff like this happens when somebody is half asleep, so don't blame yourself for these things especially when you're fighting ninjas."

"Oh, so that's why she has white tape on her nose?" asked Leah

"Yeah, that's why." replied Gael, before paying attention back at the game. "Yes! Yes! Come on Maire!"

Gael begins to cheer at his Maire after she scores a goal, after getting an assist from Addison.

"Yes!" said Gael, with excitement. "Whoo, all this excitement is making me hungry. Does anyone want anything from the snack bar? Leah? Tobin? Because, I'm buying.
