Chapter 2: All talk

[14 yrs old]

Erika was sitting on her chair inside the classroom writing important notes to review for their midterms tomorrow when a friend approached her. Luca is one of her childhood friends who she plays soccer with at the park.

"Sup! Sup! " He said to her as he stopped in front of her table.

"Sup" Erika said back but was less energetic and continued on what she was doing.

"Let's play soccer at the park later 4pm sharp" He said with a smile

"We have midterms tomorrow Luca" she said without looking at him.

"Oh come on! An hour of soccer is not that much and playing can also clear the mind" He childishly whined at her.

Erika thought about it for a moment.

"Ok, But I'll be at least 15 minutes late since I'm still gonna change my clothes."

"Copy that!" Luca waved goodbye and left the classroom.

[At the park]

Erika is walking to the soccer field when she sees her friend talking or arguing with two guys who seem to be a few years older than them. She can see how angry her friends are and the smug faces of the two guys. Luca was about to say another word when.

"Hey, What's up?" Erika asked the group.

"Erika!!" Luca's mood immediately took a turn as soon as she saw the emerald-eyed girl.

"These guys are insulting us and calling us half-baked losers! " Anton another friend of hers said while pointing at the two guys.

"Hmm" She just hummed and looked at the people who were insulting her friends. 'They're wearing a tracksuit and based on their build they're athletes.' Erika thought to herself.

The two can't help but feel uncomfortable by the way she looks at them. They feel like their whole being has been judged by this girl and her green eyes just made it even worse for them. But they didn't show it.

"Since our ace is here we can absolutely beat you guys now!" Luca said as he pulled Erika to their side.

"Pfff, your ace is a girl?" One of the guys said.

"All this time you're talking about a girl? You really think you can beat us?" The other guy said.

All of them felt annoyed, especially Erika. Not only did they insult her friends but they also underestimated her.

"Enough with the laugh. What do you guys even want?" she coldly told them.

"Well, they suddenly talk to us while we're playing and start insulting us. Luca challenged them in a game and we waited for you before we started the match." Lou timidly told her.
