Hey dudes, chapter ten!

I'm going to dive straight into the romanticizing in the next few chapters, I've finally found a way to pace it the way which would suit!

Went to see Coldplay! So good. Would have went crazy if they hadn't played The Scientist, but, they did as part of the encore!

Short chapter, but this will be made up to you guys, in the next two ;) Content wise especially.

=)

*As of the 22nd of August 2010, I'm rewriting the whole story. Shouldn't take too long.

The song is Song 2 By Blur.

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
No.

And that's a thundering run up the line by Martingale, he's centered it to Carmichael, who let's fly. Off the Bar!

"Come on, Jesus Christ!" Namine screamed down the phone at Kairi as the redhead sat and continued to watch the soccer game with Riku. Namine hadn't been able to come, as she had to help her mom paint the kitchen, so she was listening on the radio while talking to Kairi on the phone.

"Jeez, Nam. They're all over them, It's going to happen." Kairi reassured her.

"I don't know, we're losing, with what? Two minutes to go, come on Kairi." Namine retorted

"You just want Roxas to be allowed to go on the Russia trip, don't you?"

"Shut up!" Namine squealed down the phone.

Destiny, much stronger since Middleweek was unceremoniously sent off, are attacking in waves here, A long ball from Almasy finds Carmichael, good touch, Goal! Two-Two!

"Yay," Namine laughed down the phone, "How long has been added?"

"Hang on," Kairi focused on the edge of the pitch, waiting for the board to be held up to be shown added time. A roar went up when the crowd saw that it said four minutes had been added.

"Four minutes!" Kairi exclaimed. "They could still win!"

"How many points do they need to be allowed on the Russia trip?" Namine asked.

"Fifteen from Twenty One. A win is worth three, so if they score here, then they are in a good position."

"Do you guys wanna come to my house on Friday? Not a party, just friends hanging out." Namine asked, drastically changing the topic. After a few seconds of chatting with Riku, Kairi Answered.

"We'd love to." She grinned.

When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time I am never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you

And the reds launch a counter attack here, with Destiny placing nine in attack, there is only one defender back to help the goalkeeper. Carmichael's running back, great sliding tackle, won the ball cleanly! No, the referee has given a penalty kick! A second penalty kick for the Reds, and to be honest, that was not a penalty!

"Oh no," Namine shrieked. "Come on Wakka!"

The number nine steps up, the wind is swirling around the pitch now, with the players drenched in seawater. It's one on one now, here's the run up.

An eerie silence stalked the corners of the stadium as the Transverse Town stepped up and lashed the ball towards the goal, trying to slot it past Wakka from twelve yards.

Save! What a save by the Goalkeeper, he's turned it onto the post!

Riku watched intently as Sora took control of the ball and sprinted up the park on his own, evading the oncoming Transverse stars. He was now one on one with the Goalkeeper, and Riku, who was genuinely nervous, placed his head in his hands, now refusing to watch.

I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
Just not my problem

Wet. If there was one word he would use to describe himself, it would be wet. He continued to run through the drenched grass, the mud lapping upon his knees, staining his socks and shorts. He was in a world of his own now, running at full pelt towards the Reds goal, he felt like nobody could touch him, he felt like he was invincible. Baring down on the Goalkeeper, he was only about 20 yards away from the Goalkeeper who was running towards him, attempting to close the angle in which Sora could aim the ball. He looked to the keeper's right, hinting that this was his target. His opponent fell for it as he slid downwards, arms raised to attempt to block Sora's shot into this corner. However, Sora ceased the opportunity that arose and, without hesitation, slotted the ball coolly through his oncoming foe's legs in the most nonchalant manner possible, before picking up pace as he ran towards the corner flag, arms raised in a victory pose. He heard the swelling noise of the fans celebrations as he slid to his knees and glided along the cold, wet grass. To him, this was ecstasy.

Can you believe it? In the Ninety-fourth minute of the game, Sora Carmichael has placed the silkiest of finishes through the keeper's legs to hand his side an incredible three-two victory, after trailing by two goals to nil! He is the prodigy. He can lead us to victory. Will this year be our year?

Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Oh, yeah

"Easy, Easy, Easy!" Wakka cried as he walked into the locker room, his arm wrapped around the shoulder of a gleeful Sora. "This little guy is gonna win everything for us!" Sora grinned bashfully, as the rest of the locker room handed out variously plaudits in his direction.

"Where's Roxas?" He asked.

"He left after he got sent off." Tidus answered him. "He's away home." Sora sighed, before sitting down and trying to unlace his boots.

"Kid." He looked up to see Seifer holding his hand out. He reached his hand out and grasped it, smiling at him. "You were great, let's build on this win."

"Yeah, who do we have next?" Sora asked him.

"Um..." Seifer thought to himself. "I think it's away in Hollow Bastion, Radiant Thistle FC I think."

"Cool, thanks man." he nodded at Sora as he grabbed his kit bag before slugging it over his shoulder and exiting the room.

"Alright class, today we are going to focus on the conflicting emotions in William Shakespeare's classic, Macbeth." the class groaned as the teacher turned around from the board, holding a copy of the text. "Now, can anyone tell me two conflicting emotions in the play? Kairi?"

"Love, and... hate?" Kairi answered, doodling on her jotter.

"Correct, Miss Shaw. Anyone else? Sora?"

"Hm?" he shot his head up, dazed at being awoken from his slumber.

"Macbeth, Conflicting emotions?"

"Um... Ecstasy and, erm... Agony?" He shrugged.

"Very well done, Mr Carmichael. If you would only stay awake for more than five minutes, you would be a straight-A student." This brought scattered laughter from the class. "That's right children. Today we are going to learn about the conflicting emotions of agony and ecstasy, and how one generally leads to another - at least in fiction anyway."

Sora sighed slightly, as his fatigue overwhelmed him once more.
