Playing Along [inazuma eleven go fanfiction]

Chapter 3 [Her Skills]

Reader's POV

Who knew joining the soccer club was even possible, and as a manager??

"Tsubaki-chan"

"yes?" i looked back to see Aoi carrying some towels. We were still at the soccer building.

'crap, i was suppose to help her bring some stuff to the benches'

"oh shoot, I'll help you out! Sorry I was distracted" I quickly grabbed as many water bottles as I can and placed them in the cooler.

Aoi giggled, and waved her hand.

"it's alright Tsubaki-chan, besides! It's nice to see you join a club and well...it's nice to finally talk to you"

"finally... Talk to me?" I glanced at her with a confused face.

"yes!" she replied with a shy smile,

"during our first proper class meeting, you were just sitting in the corner all alone. You didn't even bother leaving the room during lunch. You didn't talk to anyone the whole week"

"ah...that.." i looked away, hiding my shocked expression. Wow, just wow. She's a lot worse than I anticipated.

"and... Well, we were kinda scared to approach you he he he" she said a little embarrassed. Ah there it is, the same thing Tenma said earlier.

Do i look that scary Aoi-chan? (ಥ⌣ಥ)

I picked up the cooler and we walked to the field.

"er.. I'm not that scary now right?"

Aoi seems taken back with my question, but then she smiled and laughed

"ahahaha! Not at all! Tsubaki-chan is totally different from the girl i met last week"

Aacckkk she's so cute! No doubt she's gonna have a lot of admirers

"ne, you can call me Sumire ya know"

"eh?! Really?"

"yes" i said and sticked my tongue out teasingly making her chuckle

"then call me Aoi, Sumire-chan"

I smiled, I'm happy to be able to talk to these characters.

"by the way, Sumire-chan. Don't you need help with that? Isn't it a lil heavy?" she pointed at the cooler I'm holding, which was surprisingly manageable.

"nah, I can handle it" Sumire's body sure is a lot stronger than mine.

When we reached the field, everyone was busy practicing. I sat down on one of the seats and observed them.

Akane was taking a lot of pictures and Midori was yelling at those slacking off. It was cute to see Aoi cheering for them, specially Tenma 👀

I've always shipped them tbh hehehe

Hmm...we don't have much to do until their break time. And it was still early for classes to start.

Then, unexpectedly, one of the soccer balls were kicked too far to our direction.

Oof, that could be dangerous if it hits someone--

"...!! Woah!! Good catch Sumire-chan!"

What? What's Tenma talking about?

I looked to see that my body somehow acted on its own, again, and caught the ball with one hand! What the...

"a-aahh I... Uh" i stattered and held the ball with both my hands. I was still flustered by my actions. What is my subconscious trying to show off here?!
