When you're gone

Chapter 2

{unedited/disaster}

Okay calm down it's not a big deal. He caught me staring, just play it off.

I look him down then laugh/huffed, in a way you'd think 'huh you think you're hot shit but you're actually nothing' type way, of course it was rude but again I had to keep up the persona.

he looked down flustered, probably thinking something was wrong. I felt bad for a bit but then he just looked confused, so I guessed it didn't hit that deep. Thus I stopped feeling bad.

Our coach is a lady with really toned legs. Fortunately she is not the stereotypic, gym coach y'know the one that's overweight and will just sit there while they force you to exercise. Our coach, whose name is Coach Abijah, actually plays with us and is really decent.

I think she misses her past. I mean a lot, A LOT happened, I cried for eight days upon hearing the story. Anyways she seems happier, she now has a husband and three lovely children, I've met them. They are adorable.

Coach has been trying to get me to play lacrosse but I know nothing about it and our team is coed so I probably won't even get to have playing time.

"Alright everyone listen up, today is soccer day! Meaning I will have to split up teams and divide y'all equally." I could hear the groans silently spread through out our group. Don't get me wrong she is a fantastic teacher and really interacts with us, but she is only a teacher, which means she can be a bit of no fun.

"Aww it's not gonna be that bad if you're good, I'll let you pick teams yourself next Wednesday." Since coach knows I play best when Amelia is on my team, I know we're gonna be on the same team.

"I'm going to divide it differently today," see the light is always... wait what. "Everyone is going to write down a number then I'm going to chose, which goes on what team."

She handed out the paper and everyone wrote their numbers, I wrote five... I always have and always will write five. She dumps them in a bucket then spins and shakes it around until she pulls out 11 for 6 piles worth and called them out.

Luckily Amelia and I are on the same team... the light is on my side.

I take a look at my team mates and they seem to be alright. Luckily I don't have any slow kids on my team. I know I'm an asshole.

"Okay let's assign positions... um Amelia you can be centre midfield... and last but not least Mila as left wing as always."

I have always loved the feeling of putting that extra effort when we score after my team put in the the effort to get it here to me. I've played soccer almost all my life because of my mom, so when she passed it felt wrong continuing, but my dad encouraged me to stay.

Once everyone got their positions, coach rounded us up. "Okay, now that it's settled here are the rules if you win you stay on the field, since we have three fields it's easier if the losing team switches to the right and if you get the same team that's when we'll stop."

"Now team names. Team one is Team Mila; Team two is Team Carter; Team three is Team Elias; Team four, since we have a new kid will be Team Daniel," so that's his name... it fits him, but I shouldn't care, I need to focus on the game. The rest of teams were called out.

"Hey, which team are we playing first?" Someone asked from the back.

"Um Team Carter against Team Elias and Team Mila against Team Daniel and the rest together! Alright go to the assigned fields."

Mike, our "leader", gathers everyone up and tells them the game plan, but my eyes are stuck on Daniel.

I mean it's not like I'm staring at him because he's good looking but more like I'm trying to observe him to see how useful he is, hmm I'm not sure if he's gonna be good or not.

Ten minutes later

He sucks, he obviously doesn't know how to handle a ball. Also their team has a sucky offense but their defense is well defending.

The ball is handed to Daniel, why would they even do that, he got scared and kicked the ball but it was in the wrong direction.

We got the ball and it's given to me I'm making my way about to strike when Daniel is suddenly in front of me but it's already to late I've already struck but it's heading straight for his...

"AHHHHH BLOODY HELL"

And he's down, I ran as fast I could to him. He's crying... aww I feel bad I didn't mean to but why the hell was he just standing there.

He's rushed to the nurses room, I go along with Amelia straight on my tail.

Two hours later

Knock knock

"Come in," a week voice said from inside... I come in with Amelia who forced me to stay, I mean I did feel bad but ya know 'badass persona' .

"Hi, I'm Amelia and this is Mila aka the girl that hit you in your ya know... (awkward silence) um Mila has something to say."

"I do? Yes I do!" I exclaimed, quieting down I said "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I hurt your pepper." Then there goes Amelia, she starts laughing her ass off.

He clears his throat "um... thanks?"

"Okay, um if it's settled then I guess we'll leave." We started to head out then he shouts out a "Wait, I think if you're actually sorry you should help me out... um help me out with things or something."

"Ewww, I'm not helping you with your Vienna sausage, no way in hell you pervert!!" I practically yell for the whole world to hear.

"That's not what I meant... I meant help me around school, I mean since we have our last periods together maybe we have more Classes together?" He interrupted. Shit I'm embarrassed. My cheeks turned into apples and Amelia wasn't helping because she was just laughing like she had no care in the world.

"Ohh, I guess I can help you out a tiny bit what's your schedule?" He said it was in his bag, I went to dig it out his bag and checked "Looks like we have the same first period and  all after lunch."

"Really, that's nice I'll finally have a friend." He said smiling like a kid in a candy store.

"Hm friends? We don't know each other. You can't just call anybody your friend, wait til you know them." He still looked the same... but this time it was more mischievous.

"Um okay then can I spend more time with you? So we can become friends because you said we don't know each other so we can't be friends but if we get to know each other we can become friends! Right?" Could he really not make friends, I mean I practically heard people drooling over him today.

"Why do you want to be friends with me? by the looks of it, it's like anyone would love to be friends with you." I questioned completely forgetting Amelia was in hearing range. Though I whispered the end.

"Ohh well um it's just that you seem like a real friend. They would only want to be friends with me because of my looks." He's tone seemed to go down at the end.

My heart broke for him but I didn't need more people in my life.

"Whatever. Bye." I said as I was leaving his room.

He yelled wait while I was leaving. Amelia said something to him.

Already out the door I thought maybe he wasn't a bad person, maybe I could just help him and he could find his own friends.

Man I've never cared about anyone making friends until now... no I don't care I just want him out my hair!!!

Right?

Hello, if this chapter seemed rushed/kinda weird it's because I had the whole everything written out and then I accidentally deleted it and couldn't get it back... thus I had to try to remember what I had wrote I remembered a bit cause it's part of my plot but it's a little rushed lmao.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!!
