Elisa's POV

Since we agreed to meet up at this part of the bleachers, I decided to go here early, since this place easily gets crowded, so I also saved seats for all of them.

I also kind of feel sorry for Riley, for obviously being Zhion's pretend girlfriend, if only I can smack him— in which case I can't do violence!

"Little sis?"

"Gah!" I almost fell on my seat, luckily I still had a grip on my chair.

"You gonna be alright being alone in there?" my sister Lavender asked, as she was with her group of friends, chatting. Her friends were super nice, the only problem is that I easily get out of place, cause I can't relate to their interests.

"Nah, I saved seats, my friends will be over here soon! I hope..."

She hugged me before going, "See you later sis!"

"Yeah, and go cheer for Thomas!" I smiled and teased her, and she blushed and sheepishly smiled before walking over to their seats.

My big sister is one of the most popular girls here in school. Well, obviously because she is kind, beautiful and very much talented. Which is why I tend to get jealous of her, since I was pretty much always the shadow.

Anyway, my mood brightened up to see Alec, the only ones walking towards me.

"Where are the others?"

"Still in their lockers, but they'll be over here soon though."

I felt myself blush when he sat beside me on the benches.

"So is that your sister?"

"You like her?" I asked, not making the pain in my question obvious to him.

He shook his head, "N-no, I like someone else."

I was about to brighten up, but I guess I was hurt, after hearing him say that he likes someone else.

"Oh sh-she's lucky... then..."

He was staring at me, which made me feel a little bit uncomfortable, so I turned to him anyway. He cupped my cheeks and was staring deep in my eyes.

"Oh, you wanna know who it is, huh?"

I blushed when he leaned in and kissed me! Hope my sister isn't here to see this...

Since I was too nervous to kiss back, he pulled away, laughing.

"I guess we're both terrible at this."

I giggled, "Yeah but— c-can we try it again?"

He nodded as he leaned in, and sparks flew when he waa kissing me again. But this time, I tried kissing back.

"S-so w-we're together now...?"

He nodded and smiled, which caused me to laugh and hug him.

Soon enough some of our friends came, namely Bill and Grodella. Bill was laughing, maybe Grodella was telling him her jokes, maybe one of the ones she told me when I came to her mansion over the other day.

Anyway, they both came and sat beside each other and greeted both of us, before continuing their chat with each other.

In our group of friends, the twins, Alec, and I noticed that those two were becoming close lately. Well, they did say they were the closest of friends, they were like two peas in a pod, and yeah they went on to rant about mors stuff, so on and so forth.

Then a few minutes after, Lyra and Lyca gladly came, holding hands as they were gladly skipping along their tracks.

They also sat together and started munching on some popcorn. Wonder where they got it.

Anyway, Riley came in last, with... Zhion.

All of us looked at her when they were obviously arguing again over and over about who-knows-what.

Anyway, Zhion rolled her eyes and nodded, causing Riley to jump in joy. Wonder what he agreed on. Anyway she made her way in the seat I saved for her.

"Riley, what was awhile ago all about anyway?"

She rolled her eyes and munched angrily on her extra muffins.

"He wouldn't even let me sit with you guys! Jeez what a jerk."

She crossed her arms and was giving Zhion a death glare, while he was in the field, getting ready for their soccer game.

Soon after a few minutes, the referee blew through his whistle, signaling the start of the soccer match.

Riley's POV

Lenorah vs. Deloniah. There were supposedly said to be two rival teams right here in our school! They say that whoever prevails this challenge, that team gets to stay in and be the school's official soccer team. Those opposing teams kept on ranting about who they should be the school's soccer team. Apparently, Edward, Marcus and Zhion belongs to the Lenorian warriors, well, that's what the players are called in Lenorah. As for Deloniah, they call them the Delonian warriors.

Anyway, first round started with Lenorah 2 - 3 Deloniah, which means they still have to catch up, and score more goals!

During the second round, aparently Deloniah is 3 points short than Lenorah. Lenorah had a total of 7, while Deloniah had a score of 4.

Here comes the final round. They were both finally equal, each at the score of 9. Who will win? I watched as the ball was now with my brother, as he confidently passes and dodges the other players.

"GO BIG BRO!"

He gave a quick smile and quickly turned back, focusing his direct stare at the goal.

Come on... make mom proud... make me proud... make us both proud!

With all his might. He kicked the ball towards the goal and...

THE GOAL KEEPER DIDN'T CATCH IT! WHICH MEANS...

WE WON!!!

Fireworks appeared clearly in the night sky, which caused us, the audience, to stare at it in awe.

I went down my seat and ran towards my brother to give him a bear hug.

"CONGRATS, MOM WILL REALLY BE PROUD OF YOU, AND ME TOO!"

"Heh, thanks Riley."

Just then came a glaring Zhion.

"Oi, moron. That was supposed to be for me."

I sticked out a tongue, "Pfft why, did you score the last goal?"

He rolled his eyes, "Tch whatever."

I rolled my eyes, since I really didn't care about the little rivalry going on, I ran to him and hugged him, and ruffled his hair.

"Hey you're nessing up ny hair!"

"Pffft HEY I AM GIVING YOU YOUR HUG HERE!" I laughed as I continued messing up with his hair, which caused him to smile.

Maybe, this is a beginning of a good friendship.
