Africa

Many years later.....

Rahwa's P.o.v.

"Get out of here Rahwa, god how many times do I need to tell you... we don't need a dumb wanna be soccer girl on our team just go home" Jeremiah said once again for the 100th time to me. But like I did before I rolled my eyes. Here I am standing on the dirt road that was used for playing soccer talking well more like arguing with Jeremiah amd his group of boys, just like that time we were 5 many years back. Since then it hasn't changed one bit. Except I have gotten a lot better with my powers and soccer. Well for Jeremiah he has gotten better at getting on my nerves.

I clenched my fist behind my back trying to cool myself before I fire up. "I have gotten better just let me join, can you guys stop acting like 5 year olds and start acting like 18 year olds, god its been how many years???? To many and you're still not letting me play are you serious..... grow up Jeremiah" I said to him glaring hard at him. He stepped forward getting in my face "watch what your saying Rahwa you could get into some serious trouble" a few "yeahs" were heard from his group of friends. I started to get mad and when I'm mad I cant help but burn up.

I stared long and hard at him before speaking " I'm not and never will be afraid of you and your gang Jeremiah, trust me you are messing with the wrong girl" I told him hiding my hand behind my back. He smirked "what are you gonna do, hit me??? I'd think twice before doing that" he said.

I saw out of the corner of my eye Dustin, John, and Matt move in a bit closer. Thats when my defense skills kicked in. A flame appeared on the palm of my hand...... I wasn't going down without a fight. "Tell your buddies to back off Jeremiah or stuff will go down and it's not going to be pretty" the flame in my hand got bigger growing with my anger.

Ever since the day I found out about my powers I worked hard to master and control it. I was able to create a weapon out of it, I call it fire bow 'n arrow. Its pretty cool if you ask me, but I'm still not able to hold it for long it disappears after a couple of seconds. I uses a lot of my strength, thats why I have to master it, because if I can master it it would be a power spell that I could use if I'm in trouble. Thats not all I learned....... like fire ball, sling shot, fire tornado ect.

Anyways back to the subject Jeremiah has no excuse for not allowing me to join mix team. Today is my birthday I'm 18 meaning I am able to join the mix soccer team, the thing is Jeremiah is the captain and I tried out but he keeps failing me ON PURPOSE!!. Honestly I dont know what his problem is, I always thought it was me that was terrible thats why since the day I found out about fire I have been practicing everyday both my powers and my soccer skills. But I know I am good so now he has to accept me in.

"Watch your mouth brat" John said through gritted teeth taking a step closer to me. I stepped back putting space between us "if y'all wanna fight me, then fight me don't this and try to play me" I rolled my eyes glancing at Jeremiah " and you, if you wanna fight me dont send your little minions to do your dirty work" I said in his face jabbing my finger in his chest "why do you hate me Jeremiah??.... what did I ever do to make you hate me??... look I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you hate me but grow up Jeremiah" I look at all the boys taking a deep breath. I kick the ball up catching it resting the ball under my arm. "You have no idea how long and hard I have practiced to become as good as you all... to have that approval from you, but all you do is shoot me down" I look at Jeremiah  in disgust "have you even taken the time to see me play?" I ask him trying to get him to realize he was wrong.

He looked around his group of friends "boys talk now". They huddle together talking mumbling on about something. I look at them shuffling around agreeing and disagreeing with each other. "Hurry up would you, I some place to be". To be honest no I didn't habe to go anywhere, I just didn't want to stand here very long, it was getting quite boring and aggravating with them wasting my time.

"Okay look how about a deal" Jeremiah says breaking off from the group walking up to me. I thought for a minute.... there had to be a cetch with this but I mean what do I have to loose. "Okay whats the deal" I say intrigued what he has to say. "You play one on one with each of us, each goal is a point, the points will go up to 10, IF and only if you win all or most of the rounds........" he paused biting his lip. I was smiling now waiting to hear those exact words I have been waiting to hear for years. " you get a spot on our team" he sighs in defeat.
" YES!!" I fist bump the air excitedly. If I win I could be the first girl on their team all the girls would rather do anything than play soccer, but for me I would drop anything for soccer anytime anywhere." That sounds like a deal to me" I have stretch my hand for him to shake it smiling. He took my hand and shook it surprisingly " all right then show us what you got" he smirked. I snickered "oh I will, trust me you won't see what's coming". Up first was Dustin position ourselves facing each other with the ball between us "remember Rahwa if you lose this you're not getting in!" John yells from the sidelines of the field. I rolled my eyes. Oh I'm going to win this you can count on that. "Don't worry  I'll go easy on her" Dustin yells to the boys smirking at me, I rolled my eyes "if I were you I'd worry about yourself than me" I snapped back giving him a warning.

He laughs "you're girl you can't-" he was caught off with a whistle signaling us that the game has begun. I took the chance I kicked the ball between his legs taking off down the field heading towards his goal. realizing I was close to his goal.  He caught up with me trying to steal the ball, but I swerved making him trip on his own feet landing on the ground "nice try" I say kicking the ball into the goal getting myself a point.

'1-0" John said from the sidelines. I walk over to Dustin holding out my hand the help him up. He pushes  hand away jumping up back on his feet "I was just being nice, but thats over now game on" he growls through gritted teeth pushing me. I shrug my shoulders he steals about continuing the game I shall get off what he said before and continue to play.

It was now 8-5 I had just made it other goal. I was sweaty and tired by this time but don't get me wrong I'm not going to stop there I'm so close to winning this first round. I stand there panting trying to catch her breath. I hear laughter coming from behind me "awe is little Rahwa all tired, is she ready to give up now???" What are the boys said making a laugh to rise. I sit up quickly from leaning over not turning around I spoke "when did I say I was done". "Its not over until I win" I say turning to them with the determination. I walk over to see Dustin taking a seat on the ground drinking some water, I sat next time not speaking. I can feel myself heating up more than normal person should.

Matt walks over to me with a bottle filled with cold refreshing water , "here drink this" I look up at him as did everyone else. I look at the bottle  glacing at him and the others before I took it thanking him. When I went to reach for the bottle my fingers grazed his skin. He snatched his hand back rubbing it "  what in the world??" He said looking at me confusingly with a shock of pain in his expression. "What? What's wrong??" John ask walking up to him checking out his hand.

He gasps taking a tiny step back "holy crap bro". The other go up now looking at what John got so scared of. But when they saw with their own eyes they all jumped, Jeremiah looked at me but before he could say anything I stood fast panicking "im so sorry I didn't mean too" I was look at each other of their faces before bolting. "IM SO SORRY" I shouted over my shoulder taking off not looking back.

I wouldn't think they would follow me but oh not was I wrong, Because not long I heard footsteps behind me. I took a quick glance behind me seeing Matt, John, Dustin, and Jeremiah all on my tail. God do they ever give up..... I stopped running turning around "please stop.... I said I was sorry" I said as they were getting closer to me. They didn't stop running..... so I had to do what I could only do.

"STAY AWAY" I shouted before shooting a fire ball towards the ground creating a large fire wall between the boys and I. I took the chance and made a break for it.......

I ran and didn't stop until I reached the spot where I knew I wouldn't hurt anyone...... where no one could find me.......
