"Wait, how could you play soccer so well?" I ask as I kick the ball to the front.

She steals the ball and starts to dribble with it while I just watch her silently.

"I used to play soccer ever since I'm a kid. I even have my own team back in Vietnam. But, since I've moved here, I stopped playing it for a while because I don't have anybody to play with." she paused and let out a chuckle before continue, "You know, that time we first met, it was my first time playing soccer since I've moved here,"

Wait. wait. TMI.

"You're Vietnamese?" my arms folded on my chest as I watched her dribbling. Her hair was slightly fallen to her shoulder from his black cap which she wears backwards.

Why would someone still look cute with that dumb cap and baggy sweatshirt?

When she peeks at me, I seriously can't feel my heartbeat with that brown eyes meet mine. And then, that smile... oh gosh...I wish she could just smile like that every time she was with me.

"and then my grandma will lock me in my room because I can't help but to beat all the boys in my residential area," she giggles.

I was startled by her beauty until I can't even listen to what she has been saying to me, except for the fact that her grandma locks her. Wait, her grandma is Vietnamese right?

I mean, somebody please enlighten me. I can't believe she was here after all, with me, playing soccer like our first time.

Honestly, when she asks me to come here just now, I was tongue-tied. It was a totally unexpected move. But anyway, I figure out that actually everything about her is unpredictable. She is just so different and unique.

One time she wants to push me away, and then another time she comes up with an idea to hang out with me or to be more specific challenge me on having one by one match on soccer. I mean, how could I turn it down?

"Everyone thought that I'd attend the soccer training club or something, but seriously I never enter any of them. I'm not that proficient, to be honest, I'm just like everyone else. But maybe as I play so much, and with different kind of people, I begin to improve myself. Up until now, I'm still learning thou," she continues.

"How bout you? Honest talking, I think you're not doing that bad," she looks up at me with her eyebrows raised.

Why am I suddenly nervous about her looking at me like that?

"Um..." I rub my neck, still nervous as I explain.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any interesting stories as you do. I'm just like the other guys, where they're sent to some soccer club or stuff. I was trained there. And that was it," I chuckle slightly, clearing the tension.

Hearing my words, I see her lips curve into a weak smile before replying, "If I can enter one of the clubs, I would gladly join it. But unluckily, I'm just an ordinary girl who has lived with her grandma and little cousin since five. I've nothing else but my family. So, don't be ashamed of yourself,"

And here comes my loss of words. Seriously, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm aware that many people out there have the worst life than me, but none of them affects me that much as she does.

Driezella.

I don't know what the hell that she had been through, but I could feel it... I could feel... how strong she was fighting herself to live this life. But how does she do it? She looks so calm about everything as if nothing had happened to her. But I know, deep down...she was hurting so bad.
