"Sushila, you are our only hope! PLEASE...! Take Silvia's place!" pleaded our captain, formerly-Ashleigh Asher.
The urgency in his voice was so desperate that if he went down on his knees, he would be begging with all his might.
His neck length ashy brown wisps eloquently are ruffled in the strong, refreshing breeze of autumn.
Those sincere and shining eyes... Like maturing hazelnuts. How can they pierce me so mercilessly, that my heart can't help but yearn for them?
His features are so lovely I could just write a ballad right then and there~
But the sudden pain that erupted between my eye sockets pierced my entire being more than his stare--that just made me sweat... I was exaggerating.
This isn't a love story... you'd be pretty optimistic to think so. As if I'd have a love life...!
Well maybe it could be, you'd never know. I couldn't care less, love is such an unpredictable creature. I'll let it happen to me if it ever does flutter my way.
I could barely digest the solution Asher had suggested, it only made the butterflies in my stomach get into a nauseous frenzy.
The only solace was fidgeting along with my impatient teammates.
I ran my fingers through the black double tails tied with sunny gold scrunchies and made sure the rose heart clip was amongst my dark bangs. I traced its shape repetitively. Knowing it was there made me feel like dear friend was watching over me with love always.
But me... Goalie? Someone was obviously mistaken, alright.
"Um... I have no experience or reflexes to take Silvia's role. Please don't pick me."
Silvia was our best goalie. Like THE BEST goalie of all of Coniston City or in the whole country!
She is seriously really good at what she does. Goalkeeping just comes naturally to her. And so does sickness.
Silvia is known to be rather sickly and is frequently absent as it seems so far this year. It is only the beginning of October and she has been absent for about 10-11 days... But Silvia gets backed up by her mother for a severely weak immune system, official papers gave her leeway on attendance for as long as she kept up in class.
She sure does have many contacts...
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SHE HAS BEEN ABSENT FOR A GAME!
"Silvia... How could you leave me in such a position..?!" I silently mourned my poor soul.
"Ugh... I thought you would be up for it, but nobody is up for claiming the job... If I were to count on someone, it'd be you to carry us."
Asher proceeded to ruffle his hair, deep in thought for an alternative solution but there was none. We were positive no one could carry us in defense as successfully as Silvia. It was etched into our minds by her holy skills that no one could ever come close to her...
My stomach twisted unpleasantly at the thought of letting down my team.
But the other part of me was droning on and on how I was only able to carry so much, and the most I carried was passing and offense.
"Useless."
The whispers repeated each time, seeming to increase in volume--in addition to my thumping heart.
"I... I can't do this."
"Oy! What's taking so long?"
A voice cut through all the murkiness of my thoughts like the rays of a full moon on a pitch black night.
