"Catch!" the dark blue haired boy yelled out, kicking the ball to the very confused girl.
Confused by Alex's words, she decided to catch the ball with her hands. As time went on, they realized she was easily confused and asked a lot of questions. She was so confused that this simple yell made her forget 'football' was indeed played with a foot. Along with that simple mistake, she stood still in place, with the ball in her hands, forgetting what she was supposed to be doing now. Mia pushed her a bit, making her drop the ball. She then kicked the ball to Adrien, who, oddly skillfully, caught it without any hint of physical hardships. Was there anything this man wasn't good at?
"This team is painfully overpowered." He sighed, looking at his two opponents.
Alex was shitty at sports, obviously by his built and stature. He had no muscle and he wasn't the tallest person out there. To his benefit though, he didn't get tired easily, maybe connecting to the part about his stubbornness. But he wasn't that bad, at least at comparison to the green haired girl. She would often just look around aimlessly, trying to notice just what she had to do. She never did get it and it caused her to get trampled on by Mia, who never did play quite nicely. She wasn't really a skillful player, but she was oddly aggressive and her built was twice the size as the girl. Mia wasn't really fat, but her bone structure was just strong. Alex and her had no match against her and she wasn't the type to play easy.
"I don't think she was involved in any type of sports on Earth." Alex concluded, something which was very obvious in the first place.
"Good morning, genius. After playing half of the Olympic Championship, I thought you'd conclude it faster." Mia rolled her dark red eyes sarcastically.
"Maybe she liked some lesser known sports." Adrien told them as he crossed out football from the list of sports they should try.
Mia rolled her eyes even more, really hoping Alex wouldn't suggest they tried out some more sports.
"Yeah, let's try out weightlifting!" Alex suggested, passionate about helping this girl, even if his sporting skills weren't that great.
"You have to be fucking kidding me..." Mia grumbled angrily, having enough sports for a day.
She was sweaty and stinky, she didn't want to do anything more than this. Her muscles ached and her own aggression was at fault, she knew it well. She just wanted to go home and sleep. She was somewhat excited to do something physical because of the adrenaline, but it passed her as soon as they switched to less extreme sports. She only liked having Adrien on her team, he was for some reason talented at sports.
"Um, I don't really think I was good at sports. I dislike them already, so I probably disliked them before." The girl spoke up, her voice soft and high pitched.
"Even she gets it." Mia crossed her arms.
"Would you stop being so rude?" Alex asked, getting more and more annoyed with her as time passed by.
"Would you stop wasting my time?" She retorted, almost barking at him.
"I think it would be time to end it for today. We should try something else tomorrow." Adrien walked into the conversation as if he was a parent, not wanting them to argue currently.
He had about five days left to gain her memories back and he just wasted one of them on sports. How delighted he was. They weren't making much progress and nervousness was slowly creeping in his mind, making him a lot more confused than usual.
"More sports?" Alex asked in enthusiasm.
Adrien saw Mia looking like she was going to verbally assault all of them, so he quickly stated what he had in mind before things got bad.
"I was thinking about movies. From the nineties. I think that's something she'd enjoy more. I just need you guys to get more movies. I have about three here that I'm planning to watch with her today." Adrien told them his idea, thinking it was easier, but was a bit worried about Mia's concentration.
"Um, movie night?" The girl looked at Adrien, oddly happily.
"I guess you could call it that, yeah." He agreed, not really knowing how that even looked like.
"I always wanted that!" She yelled out in excitement, looking energetic all of a sudden.
She stopped for a moment, looking blankly at the floor, as if she remembered something. Something tiny, but not that important. Like that reaction made her feel something new.
"I even have popcorn. I read that you kids used to eat that while you watch a movie." Adrien continued talking to her, which made her snap out of her thoughts.
"Yeah, we do... Thank you." She said, somewhat shyly.
"Damn, I wish I could join you guys. I used to love movie nights!" Alex told them, his openness with Adrien changing drastically since everything that happened.
"I never actually watched a movie, so this will be interesting." Adrien told them, looking like he was interested in the experience.
"You haven't? How come?" The girl asked him, her pink eyes full with wonder and surprise.
Adrien looked surprised as well. Surprised that someone asked him that question and that it was something unusual. He was usually really nonchalant about everything, so getting any new emotion, even if it was surprise, was odd and exciting.
"I never had the time-" He was cut off by Mia.
"Can we go already?" She asked in a very pissed off tone.
Alex gave her a very pissed off look, but she looked like she didn't quite care. She wanted to get out of there and she didn't care if Alex was pissed off because of it. Anything just to get away from here.
"Yes, of course. See you tomorrow, kids." Adrien waved, going at the other side with the unknown girl, continuing their conversation with odd enthusiasm.
"Why are you so impatient?" Alex asked her as soon as they made some distance.
"Ugh. I just don't feel like being there. Is that so hard to understand?" She said with an annoyed face.
"I know it's not just that. You're starting to get unbearable, Mia." He explained to her, trying to talk to her normally.
She stomped away in a quicker pace, much more angrier than him.
"How about you leave me alone if I'm so unbearable?" Mia yelled, her voice cracking.
It looked like she was trying to hold back tears. Like she just wanted to be angry at him, even though it was just the opposite. She quite loved him, but she couldn't bare it. They were friends. But friendship was something too harsh for her, she couldn't handle such emotions. She didn't want to have anything personal with him.
"Mia, that's not what I was trying to say! Stop trying to push me away from you!" He yelled at her, getting annoyed by her childish acting.
She kept quiet after that. She felt exposed. She really didn't want him knowing why she was doing this. Barely she knew it and him reading her like that made her felt obvious and unreasonable. She was aware she was acting dumb and irrational, she didn't need Alex confirming it.
He felt bad when he saw her being quiet, looking oddly hurt. He had to calm down. He wasn't going to help like this.
"Do you wanna come with me to find some movies? We didn't go out in a long while." He smiled at her, calming down his anger.
"Al, I just..." Mia started, her red eyes darting at the floor.
He wouldn't let her reject him again. She will go out with him this time even if it took all of his nerves to make her do it.
"Please, don't reject me this one time. I miss when you spend all of my money on junk food." He told her, wiggling his eyebrows.
He got a little laugh out of her.
"I'll go if you let me spend it again." She smiled at him, punching his arm lightly.
"I always will let you spend it." He answered, happy she decided to come with him.
