The Team
"Prrrrrrttttt!" the whistle started the game.
It was 10 minutes before the end of the game. Score: 2-2. 10 minutes to determine the last score? Would it be a draw?
A girl with sunshine hair ran as she dribbled the ball between her feet. 'One more goal, she thought, 'One more goal to win this game!'
The girl was blocked by a fullback defender and a midfielder, 'Crap!' she whispered.
She shifted the ball between her feet and shifted it the left, she ran towards their goal. Then she saw an opening, "NANAMI-CHAN!" she kicked the ball sending it in mid-air.
A girl with short chocolate hair caught the ball in her chest. She ran with great speed towards the goal.
Since their center forward and center midfielder got injured, they had to do everything it takes to score a goal.
The sunshine haired girl ran towards the goal, trying to be open for her other teammate, then finally she found a clear spot where she can shoot the goal.
Three players from the other team blocked Nanami. She shifted the ball from side to side. 'C'mon guys where are you!' she said as she tried to look for an open.
She found the sunshine haired girl open, "MIYU!" She kicked the ball high up in the air.
Miyu smiled for she knew it was the same technique they used from the last game, and it had never failed.
When she estimated the ball's distance from her, she jumped high and…
"PPPRPRRRRRTTTTTTT!" the whistle blew as the game ended.
"GOAL!" everybody from the sidelines shouted.
It was a clear headshot.
Score 3-2.
Miyu had headshot it straight at the right corner of the goal. Before the keeper of the other team reacted, it was in.
Her teammates ran to her as they carried her, "GOAL! MIYU!"
Inside the locker room…
"Good job girls!" the coach told them as they settled down.
"Ha ha ha!" the coach gave a light hearted laugh. "I've never had a team this great and I really appreciate your patience and perseverance."
"Awwww… Coach," a girl with braided hair said, "We should be the one thanking you!"
They all nodded in agreement.
"Aya-san," the coach scratched his head. "Alright why don't you all go dress up and go home. Get some rest coz tomorrow we'll have a pizza party!"
"Isn't coach Saionji the best?" Nanami said as she took off her jersey.
Miyu nodded, "He never shouts at us nor does he get mad whenever we lose a game."
"Miyu-chan!" Aya ran to her with dreamy eyes.
"What is it?" Miyu looked at her lost.
Handing her a letter, "The coach told me to give it to you," Aya said with a big grin.
Miyu took the note and looked at it, 'I wonder what this is…' she thought.
"Oh he also wants you in his office."
Miyu immediately dressed up for she was done taking a shower.
She went to the coach's office and knocked on the door.
