Don't Mess With Her

-"Don't you dare close your eyes or I will kill you in your sleep."-

Lili's POV

I sat on the side of the field where the reserve players were sitting while coach was standing up with his arms crossed.

Our team won the last two games and this is the final game.

The players jogged to the middle of the field and practically glared the hell out of each other.

Why do they hate each other so much?

"What's up with you guys and this school?" I ask one of the guys which I think his name was Tom.

"We never got along because of their snobby and self-absorbed attitudes. Ryder and Kyle is a while other story." He explains.

"Oh." I nod. "Thanks, Tom."

"Actually, it's Jack..." He mutters but I wasn't paying attention to him. "Guess I'm Tom now."

The whistle blows and they start throwing the ball in all sorts of directions.

The ball kept switching from our side to theirs, a couple of times until time out.

The boys jogged over here and huddled together as coach said some teamwork or some sort.

"You morons better make the school proud. Don't let all your hard work go to waste. You guys are stupid but I'm sure you're not that stupid." Coach gives a little...pep talk. "If you don't win, you'll have more intense trainings."

The boys nodded and they did their cheer.

I locked eyes with Ryder for a second before he turned around and they all made their way to the field.

Don't get hurt. Please.

The whistle blows and they start playing again.

Ryder and Kyle kept having trouble with that bad news guy and if you looked closer, you could see they were trying hard not to kill each other.

The ball kept being thrived in different directions and when Ryder was about to score, I saw that stupid mr-whats-his-name smirk and he tackled him to the ground but it looked serious.

Before Ryder hit the ground, his helmet thing flew off his head as he hit the ground and I could've sworn I saw that guy knee his thigh.

My heart skipped a beat as I watched in fear.

The crowd went silent for a few seconds before people started panicking again.

"Hey, you! Don't you see an injured player?! Go help him!" Coach urges one of the guy nurses.

I gulped, paralysed standing.

I watched as that guy got up with both his hands up in surrender.

I was shaking and I couldn't stop.

Ryder still wasn't moving which made my heart beat faster.

Please be okay.

Kyle yelled at that guy who was still smirking as some people carry Ryder in a stretcher.

The referee separates the both of them as the two went either ways.

I rushed over to Ryder who was laying on the stretcher, half-conscious.

"W-what happened?" I stammered.

"He hit his head pretty bad and we need to get him to the hospital." The nurse says.
