I'm sorry I made you all wait so long, but i'm back from the dead and I hope you enjoy this update because it might be a while, my friends and I are doing a k-pop talent show...(my idea of course)...and it will be eating a lot of my free time.

Thanks for understanding.

Roxas's Point of View

"Let's see what you got Roxas..."

"Yessir..."

"Hey...your dad was a famous soccer player right? Cloud...he was an amazing player..."

"Yes sir...but I don't want my father to influence your decision..." I responded quietly. I've always been treated specially because of my fathers past...always put on the better teams and given free rides because my father was so great...I want to do this myself.

"Don't worry Strife, I expect great things from you..." The coach replied nodding his head slightly.

"Well don't waste my time." He barked, returning to his original intimidating self. I nodded and quickly went off to get dressed, tying my neon yellow cleats tightly and stretching slightly before returning to the field.

"Alright Strife don't disappoint me." He growled.

"Don't intend to sir." I replied smartly nodding slightly.

"Run a few laps first...When you come back on...lets say your third grab a ball."

"Yessir..." I replied quickly starting the trek around the large field. He wants me to run 3/4th's of a mile before I even pick up a ball...I see...he's trying to test my ball control even when i'm tired...I sped up seeing that my stamina was more than reasonable. Since the time I was five my father had me running on treadmills and training to be a star athlete... Since then i've run several marathons and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Six minutes and three laps later I came around and grabbed a ball quickly dribbling it between my feet. I have to concentrate...if I don't make it...my life will be over...

"Alright Strife keep the ball away from some of these players..." Coach yelled sending two large teens out. One had blue hair that reached just below his shoulders and another had a very toned frame, tall with dark hair. I assumed he was a defense player seeing his speed was slower.

"Stop right here freshy! Trying to get onto the team...stay where you belong! Stop trying to be somebody your not!" The blue haired man sneered, running at me quickly attempting to knock me off my feet. I nimbly avoided him kicking the ball with my heel and spinning in a circle with the ball avoiding the harsh advances of the blue haired male.

"Don't forget i'm here..." the large man growled. Crap what am I supposed to do...these aren't amateur players I easily dance around on the JV team... I paused with the ball waiting for them to attack...The blue haired one moved quickly coming at me, I sent the between his legs sending him into a confusion.

"SAIXX YOU WERE JUST PLAYED BY A FRESHMAN! TEN LAPS!" Coach ordered. The blue haired male now known as Saixx sneered at me, before beginning his trek around the field.

"LEXEAUS DON'T LET HIM PASS YOU!"

I stared at the male wondering how to handle this. He isn't going to be as easy to get around as Saixx was...he is a defense player...he is trained to steal the ball and get it away from the net...I sighed calming myself before taking off towards him. We were drawing closer and closer...

"You brat!"

I quickly hit the ball sending it on the right side of him and running towards the left. He ran at me then stopped confusion overwhelming his features as he realized the ball was missing, though it wasn't... It wasn't a commonly used feint...my father had taught me and made me practice it until I got it perfectly. You send the ball one way, and run the other giving the illusion you have the ball. Some people fall for it others steal the ball so it is a risky move. Luckily he didn't see it and I know had the ball and I was running away from him at full speed.

"ENOUGH" The coach yelled.

We both stopped in our tracks huffing and puffing trying to catch our breath.

"What the hell did you just do?" He growled stalking towards me tensely.

"Strife, i'll give you your recommendation...do your best...in the tryouts...they won't be as easy as this was..." He said handing me a sheet of paper.

"You weren't planning on giving me this the whole time were you..." I asked cautiously...I don't want my father to play a role in my success.

"Strife I wasn't prepared to give you one at all...you earned it... now make it on this team so you can play for me got it?"

"Yessir!" I replied happily. Was he impressed with me? Holy crap I hope he was! OH my god...i'm so tired...my legs hurt...that was a work out I haven't done in a long time...it feels so refreshing to play with players who can play on your level.

"Good now take a break, Varsity tryouts are in an hour and a half..."

"They're on the same day?" I questioned curiously as I downed a water bottle.

"Yes...I like to get things done as soon as possible...I don't accept crap..."

"Understood..." I replied stiffly suddenly more nervous. Why the hell is he so blunt...at least you can trust his word...

I sighed walking away from him and settling down next to a tree. It felt so good to just relax...life was so fast pace it was rare that I have a chance to just sit here.

"Yo..." A strange voice called from the other side of the tree. I opened my eyes and looked up to see a red haired man standing over me, his acid green eyes piercing my ice blue.

"Yes?"

"Are you trying out for JV soccer? You are a bit late for tryouts, but you should be able to make it..."

"Oh I was already there, I got what I wanted..."

"Oh, so does that mean you made it?"

"No...I got a recommendation...I got a recommendation for Varsity soccer." I replied looking into confused eyes. How are his eyes so...green.

"Aren't you a freshman?"

"Yes i'm a freshman..."

"And you're trying out for Varsity soccer?"
"Yes..." Why is he asking so many questions...

"Did you actually get the recommendation?"
"Yes..." I feel like a parrot...ask different questions.

"Woah...I'm Axel..." he said smiling at me, extending his hand towards mine.

"I'm Roxas..." I replied taking his hand and shaking it firmly.

"Well Roxas...good luck...I hope I get to see you this year on the varsity team."

"You are on varsity!" I asked bolting upright as he began walking away.

"Yeah, but your tryouts are starting soon...i'll see you around okay?"

"uh..okay."

Holy crap...I can't wait to start...that person was so...intriguing... I wonder who else is on the Varsity team?

Okay guys...so shortish chapter, not a lot of action but alas! Roxas and Axel meet...very brief, rushed...maybe but I hope you enjoyed nonetheless.
