Chapter 4 - Frustrations

It was the morning after our walk around town, me and Diane were sat in the common area in our dorm block. We were making idle chatter, trying to distract ourselves from our thoughts as we hadn't heard off any of the boys since yesterday, although, Elaine did text saying she was going to Ban's dorm earlier but we hadn't heard anything of her since, which made me overthink even more.

Tension filled the air as we stopped talking, "...Do you think they're okay? I mean, Meliodas and Ban will be fine as they usually get in fights but King isn't exactly as strong as them..." Diane broke the silence, asking the question I was trying extremely hard not to think about.

Sighing, I replied, "Honesty I have no idea, but I do know that Meliodas and Ban wouldn't let King get hurt. Do they really get into fights that often?" I frowned at the idea, they look capable of looking after themselves but constantly getting into fights isn't good...

"Well, those two are the short tempered ones, King's usually the one to try and calm them down. Though he has gotten into a fair share of arguments", The brunette smiled awkwardly at the last part.

I couldn't help but giggle, "I've only known King for a day but it's still hard to imagine him involved in drama. I'm surprised they haven't text us where they are, weren't they listening yesterday when we planned to meet up today?"

"Probably not, almost everything goes straight over their heads. You'll get used to it eventually." Diane paused and looked like she was thinking of something before saying, "Actually, I think I know where they are, coming?"
I nodded, we got up and grabbed our jackets before leaving the building.

Diane lead the way to a part of campus I hadn't been to yet, it was a quiet area and was very out of the way from everything else. "It's through here, watch the brambles" Diane said, leading the way through a small wooded path that was muddy and covered in broken twigs making the ground uneven, good thing I wore my trainers, I thought as I concentrated on not tripping.

I watched my feet as I walked, making sure there was nothing to trip on in front of me... an image of a girl running through the woods away from something... no... a group of people popped into my head, I shook it off and went back to concentrating on the ground, I sighed - I knew I shouldn't have watched that horror movie trailer last night, now I'm gonna think about it all day.  

After a few minutes of walking we came out onto a large field with football goal posts at either end. I looked down the field and saw Meliodas, Ban and King playing football. I noticed Elaine was sat down on the ground far enough from the boys that she wouldn't get hit by the ball. "Diane, lets go sit down with Elaine." I said walking towards her.

"Okay!" And with that she ran down the field towards the others, I decided to walk as I didn't want to increase the chances of me falling over on the mud.
Elaine said hey and invited me to sit down with her on the picnic blanket, which I was grateful for. We were on the outside of the field so the ground was less bumpy than where the boy were playing football.

Elaine spoke as she watched the others play football with Diane on the side of them "Sorry for not texting my phone didn't charge last night and died earlier." She smiled apologetically at me.

I smiled reassuringly at her and said "It's alright, Diane figured they would be here so we made our way down. Do you know what happened yesterday after?"   

The blonde's smile dropped slightly "Well... King managed to break up the argument just before it was about to break out into an actual fight so that's good, but now Ben and Meliodas are, to put it lightly, annoyed due to not being able to punch some sense into Gil and Howzer, I guess. So now here they are trying to blow off some steam through football instead."
