Chapter Four: A Lacrosse Game To Remember

When we arrived the training already started, but the game was only 'till 7pm, an hour from now.
There was this guy from the guest team looking at me, no, staring at me. So the thing that came up in me (me with my smart ideas) was to stare back. So we stared for like 10 minutes at least. Mum woke me up from my staring competition and said that she saw Robin.

'Hey, Robin!'
'Hey, Heather! Did you hear? The guest team is staying for the rest of the schoolyear. They're even following lessons with us!' Robin said.
'Believe me, I heard it more than once.' I whispered to myself.
'What?' Robin asked.
'No, nothing, I just find it very.. erm... cool I guess.'
'What is up with you? Don't you like it that they're staying? I mean, it's like 70 percent boys.' Robin laughed while saying that.
'It's not like there are no boys here. Didn't you say that you have one on your mind? Wasn't his name... Jacob... ?' My face made a huge smile.
Robin turned completely red and quietly said: 'Shut up... '
I laughed my ass off and she just stood there smiling with her red face and hair, she looked like a complete tomato.
Then I heard something in just a flash. Someone was coming, someone with no good intentions, I could feel it.
Robin noticed that I stopped laughing and she looked weird at me.
'Is everything alright?' She asked me.
'I don't know.'

Our conversation went quiet with me looking at the bushes behind us and Robin standing behind me curiously looking.

Then my mum came.
'Are you alright?' She asked me. 'Your like the flag from France but without the blue.' I didn't understand the joke. But my mum (because she said the joke) obviously did. She laughed while Robin and me just looked at her, confused.
After a while my mum said that we should go take a seet, because the game was about to begin.

At first it was kind of boring. Our team scored one goal after another. Just kidding, they were the worst.
I don't understand because normally, they are the best team ever. Everyone was walking, not running. And they had these tired looks on their faces.
It was like they were mindslaves or something. The other team was happy and running and making goals after goals and they just stood there, like zombies or something.
Robin and I shared a look that was saying that something is wrong, I could feel it in my little toe and she felt it too. Then I looked back at the field and saw that Harry was gone!
I looked at Robin with a scared face and she said that he was probably benched or something I tried to look at the benches but I couldn't see it, so I waited for the break.

When the bell rang for a break, Robin and I ran downstairs and looked everywhere for Harry but he was nowhere to be found. We asked some of the players but they didn't talk. After a while we heard a loud bang from the cafe and we ran as fast as we could. Robin layed on the ground next to a guy from the other team with a stick in his hand. I looked at him furious and began to attack him, he jumped and began to scream: "I didn't do it!! He came for Harry in the back and took of! I tried to run after him to punch him with this stick but it was already too late"
When those last words came out of his mouth, everybody was there already, looking at me standing on top of a guy who was crying. I carefully got off him and helped him get up.
'I believe you. I'm sorry I attacked you.' I said
He answered: 'It's okay, I would've done the same thing.'
I ran to Harry to check if he was okay, but there came blood out of his head. I started to cry and Robin came next to me laying her arm over my shoulder.
'Someone please call the ambulance!!' I cried and screamed.
'Stay with me Harry, please, I can't live without you!'
Then my mum came in and she saw Harry laying on the floor and me standing over him, crying and she ran to me and gave me a hug.

The lacrosse game never went on.
