Where Are You Now?

The Beginning

Chapter 8

Michelle's P.O.V

I wake up early the next day since I slept early of tiredness last night and jump out of bed once I remember that I should have called John last night. I rush to my phone next to the TV table where I left it charging to find five missed calls from him and one missed call from Chloe. I send him a message telling him I slept early last night and that everything's okay before I dial Chloe's number.

"Hey." She says once she picks up and I lay back in bed after I unplug my phone. "Hey, you called me?" I ask her covering my body with the warm mattress. "Yeah, I did. There is a game today for George and I was wondering if you'd like to go with me." She tells me and I nod.

"Yeah alright. By the way we are neighbors, did you know that?" I ask her smiling. "Yeah, George told me." She excitingly says.

"The game starts at twelve; come over before." She tells me and with that we hang up.

I tell my parents about the game while having breakfast and they were thrilled about it. My dad has always been a soccer fan; he made me once join a soccer team when I was a kid and ended up bruised from the third training. But when it comes to my brother he has always been the one who's similar to my dad.

He's as tall as him with a dirty blonde hair and has always been one of the best soccer players I have ever seen.

Hours later I get dressed before I walk to Chloe's house. I'm wearing a simple denim jeans with a white long sleeves t-shirt and tug it inside the jeans.

I call her and wait till it rings twice before I hang up to let her know I'm in front of her house. And a few minutes later she leaves the house and we both start walking to school.

It's chilly outside and the streets are crowded with cars more than the usual while other people are walking.

We arrive to school to find unfamiliar people holding banners and cheerios rushing through the crowded corridors wearing a white and blue uniform.

"Hey." Brad greets once he spots us and we both greet him back. "Came to see George and Austin?" He asks smiling kindly as he walks with us. "Yeah, we will never miss any of their games." Chloe says thrilled. "Austin plays too?" I ask surprised and they both nod.

We fight our way through the crowd in hope we would reach the stadium while Brad is walking in front us.

"Here's Josh and Zack." Chloe yells waving her hand and I lift my head up to see them standing a few steps away from where we are.

"Hey." Josh greets with a small smile as soon as we reach them." I thought you are suspended." Brad jokes and they both ignore him.

"Come on we have to go. The match is about to start." Chloe says worried standing on her toes to see how more we have to walk.

"Okay." Zack says smiling a bit and she starts walking. I walk next to her and Brad while Josh and Zack are behind us.

We enter the stadium only minutes later to find it crowded. It looks way more different than when George brought me here; it looks bigger and more cheerful.

We sit in the back and I sit next to Brad and Chloe while Josh and Zack are on the other side. And only seconds later the players enter the pitch including George and Austin with the cheerleaders and everyone starts cheering.

They're wearing white and blue Jerseys while the other team is wearing white and yellow ones.

The match starts and the cheering becomes even louder and that's when I feel my heart pulses increase and my breathing becomes faster, I try to breathe normally but I fail.
