Chapter 2



───✧✦✧───

My eyes scan over the girl Sean thinks has the potential to join our team, he came running to us saying that there was something we have to see that would apparently amaze us. She's standing at the entrance of the gym holding hands with two kids, one in a blue t-shirt and the other in a grey t-shirt. I couldn't care less if we got a girl on my team, all I need to know is if she has the skill to play or she doesn't.

"What's the solution you have?" I ask as I walk up to her. She looks up at me as she grins, pulling forward the two boys to stand on either side of her.

"My brothers, William and Simon will keep track of the score for us, that way we won't have to keep track while we play," Anita says back to me. I look at her brothers and the resemblance they all have is uncanny. Anita is shorter than me, I'd say she reaches right under my chin and she has shoulder-length strawberry blonde hair and I'm guessing it's not dyed, brown eyes and freckles on her cheeks; her brothers share the same traits with the hair and face dotted with freckles.

"Anita, who is he?" the sibling to her left asks, both of them are looking at me in curiosity. 

"This is Red and his friends invited me to play a little game. Can you and William keep score for us?" she asks the boy in the grey shirt, I guess this one is Simon and the one in blue is William.

"We want ice cream before we go home," her other brother demands.

"You've got a deal, I'll show you two where you're going to stand to keep score," she says to them as she leads them to where the scoreboard is already pulled out. Connor sidles up to my side, watching with me as Anita takes her brothers to the sidelines.

"Are those her brothers?" he asks me.

"Yeah, her brothers Simon and William. Simon is the one in the grey and William in the blue," I reply, pointing at the two.

"Why are they here?" he questions in confusion.

"I guess since they finished with whatever they were doing at the center, they agreed to keep score for us when she asked," I answer with a shrug. "I don't mind since all of us can play and I can see how well she works if it was a real game."

"You're not against having a girl on the team?" he asks looking at me in surprise.

"No, why, do you have a problem?" I ask raising my brow in question.

"No, just surprised you're all for it. I have no problem with it, it'll definitely shake things up and make our last year interesting," he chuckles. I let out a bark of laughter as Anita walks back to us. 

"If we're going to do this properly we'll still need a referee and someone to be on the sidelines to see if the ball goes out," she says stopping in front of us. "Luckily for you guys, I have some extra people to help."

"You're bringing more people now?" I ask, my arms crossed, tattoos on full display. I'm only seventeen with full sleeves and surprisingly between my parents, my mom was the one who signed off for permission when I first got them though in her words, I apparently look threatening with them.

"Just a couple, they should be here by now. I sent them an s.o.s message," she replies with a shrug. We hear loud voices, distinctively male getting closer before five bodies burst into the gymnasium. They all have the same strawberry blonde as Anita plus her younger brothers and I already know who they are without her even having to say anything. 

"Anita what the hell is going on?" one of the guys asks her. "You're message made it sound like it was an emergency but you're perfectly fine."

"I needed your help with some things, we're going to play a small game right now," she replies to him and they become aware it's just not her in the gym as they look at the rest of us.
