The game pt. 1
This sucks so bad xD
-----------------------

After two weeks of training and too healthy food we saw Gemini Storm again. I went inside to get some water and blankets, it was freezing. But when I came back they were standing there. Janus looked at me from the corner of his eye, observing everything I did. It felt a bit uncomfortable and images appeared in my brain. the match, the conversations we had and his hand touching my face. I shook my head, I couldn't get distracted, it was nothing anyway. As expected, he immediately started to comment on our presence.

'What are you doing here,' he complained. 'We're playing on the behave of Elphine,' said Mark, and a giggle escaped my mouth. Mark had his typical soccer look on his face. Janus rolled his eyes.'It seems like human capacity for learning is even lower then I thought. Don't you get it? You've already lost twice, you'll never beat us.' Tori said something back but I noticed he was studying me. When they were going to the field Janus and I crossed. 'There we are again,' he whispered, his voice sounding cool. 'Wonderful to see you, my alien boyfriend,' I said sarcastic. He sighed, and if looks could kill I'd be lying in the snow. 'Have fun watching dear,' he said, and before he walked to the side of the field, the boy winked. What a confidence. 'If you creatures think you can win,' Janus said to everyone, 'Then you're even more stupid than I thought.'

'Okay, this is the plan. In the first half of the game we play like we always do. Then, in the second half a surprise will join, you'll see it yourself. Shawn starts as a defender and Jude will be a forward.'

'Whaaaat?' Eric stared puzzling at the coach. 'A surprise, Shawn in the defence? What's going on?' He got totally ignored. But I felt the same. I got the fact that Shawn was a defender, but what was that surprise?

'Aaand there are the aliens again!' After I recovered from my heart attack, Chester popped out of a snowman. 'The whole world is watching, will Raimon succeed this time? Will God be for the humans, or the green men from Uranus? And of course, is there really something going on between Rhona and Janus?' I frowned, and prayed that Chester would keep his comments for himself. During practise I caught him making notes about fanart. Then I noticed the cameras and film helicopter. Wonderful, that will calm us down. Only the whole world will see the boys play. I stared at Janus who was stretching with a bitter look on his face. When he caught me looking he smirked, but not sincere. What the hell was going on? He probably hated this whole drama, and had the right to.

the referee whistled, and it started. 'Oooh, and Raimon runs directly to the front, this looks promising. Oh no, Kevin lost the ball! two defenders intercepted the shot, and Gemini storms to Raimons goal. But Swift gets it back immediately, that boy has become fast!' Unfortunately the things got worse. Janus intercepted the ball and rushed forwards. Damn he was fast. And handsome of of course, but that didn't matter at that moment. Mark nodded to Shawn, and he did his Ice Ground on him. It was absolutely hilarious to see Janus frozen, with a furious glance in his eyes. Shawn rushed forwards, to the other half of the field, but lost the ball. Jude tried to get it back, but couldn't do it. Then it happened, the Astro Break. Tori and Jack did the double defence, the Tower and Wall. Mark tried to stop it with his Fireball Knuckle, but failed as well. Another forward player got the ball, Diam was his name, and shot with another technique. The ball landed in the net again, and I groaned frustrated.

Then suddenly the first half was over, way too fast, because now we only had forty five minutes to make three goals. But first I gestured Janus to come to me. 'This whole crush thing is getting out of hand,' I mumbled. 'No shit. How are we going to make this stop?' He smiled, and that was never a good sign. 'I just have to shoot you unconscious.' I shook heavily my head. 'I can break your arm, that'd be better.' His eyes grew big. 'What? You're not going to break my arm!' I raised my brow. 'And you will not shoot me.' The alien pouted, and all I could think of was how adorable it was. 'JaLauris is a terrible shipping name, don't you think,' he mumbled. 'Dreadful. But I do have a difficult name. How about Janusa?' He got a real, cute smile.

'The two lovebirds are having a conversation, and as the papers said, they're smiling!' I clenched my fists. 'Now he has gone too far!' Mark and Eric tried to stop me from attacking the reporter talking. 'LET ME GO!' They didn't, but that couldn't stop me from talking. 'Oh, a smile, how fucking amazing! They smiled, so they must be in love with each other! Because smiling is something only lovers do! Why don't we get married? We smiled after all!' I completely lost it. 'Well supporters,' Chester screamed, 'as we see, Rhona has decided to go sarcastic! What will happen in the next forty five minutes?'

Oh yes, the game. I tried to think positive. Shawn and Kevin were incredible, Mark his savings are improving, the midfielders are getting faster and we had a double defence. 'Okay, here is the layout of the game. The defenders are Jack, Jude, Nathan and Bobbie. Midfielders are Todd, Tori, Eric and Rhona. The strikers are Shawn and Kevin. Mark is the goalkeeper.' I spat out my tea so I could gasp in unison with the others. 'No offence coach, but are you fucking insane?' Kevin grunted. 'Kevin is right! what is this nonsense?' She only flipped her hair. 'You will play, you will play with her like every other member or you're out.' I got a flashback, he told me not to play, what was I supposed to do?

'Hey, why are you so down?' Mark asked. 'You have a chance to play with your friends. Just forget about the alien thing and cameras, Schriller must've a reason for this. We have fate in you. And don't forget that no one is perfect, it's okay to make a mistake.' The whole team agreed and joined encouraging me. A little light entered my thoughts and I smiled. It was the team, my friends. I couldn't tell them I was scared by my past, I had to play!
