Carlos smiled as he saw Jay run across the field. God, he's so amazing in tourney. "Carlos, you're up!" The coach shouted as he blew on his whistle, which brought Carlos back to reality.
"Really?" He didn't want to be on the field, he really likes being on the bench. "Get in there!" The coach whistled again, causing Carlos to rush away.
Carlos stood beside Jay, who smirked. "You're going to get crushed." Carlos gulped, and then heard a loud whistle, this time to indicate that the game started. Jay sprinted to catch the ball. Why did they have to be on opposite teams?
He stood there, rather guard than to try and take the ball. Carlos' eyes widened as he saw Jay tackling everyone down, he was unstoppable. He sighed in relief when Jay passed the ball to Ben. Thank goodness Jay learn the meaning of team, otherwise he would have tackled Carlos.
Ben was almost close to him, all Carlos had to do was block Ben. Easy, right? Wrong. Carlos didn't see Jay run towards him, or that Ben passed the ball towards him. In fact, too close to Carlos as well.
Jay had his focus on the direction at the ball and raised his sporting tool, ready to hit it. Completely unaware that instead of hitting the target, he accidently hit Carlos at the side of his head. Ouch.
Carlos immediately tumbled down as he let out a scream of agony. He kept his eyes shut as his hands held his head; it's like his brain bounce up and down. There was absolutely no noise for a moment, then ringing sounds echoed throughout his ear.
"Carlos!" Jay kneeled down beside him. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." The whole team rushed to Carlos, who still kept his eyes shut, he couldn't even hear what Jay was saying.
The coach sat up Carlos, inspecting his injury at his head. There was no blood, it was just red and slightly swollen. "You have no cut or a concussion since I don't see any bruising. Can you open your eyes?"
The ringing noise that Carlos was hearing was slowly going away, and listened to the coach. He opened his eyes, at least that's what he thought he did. "Where's everyone? Why is it so dark?" Carlos asked, he looked around in nothing but darkness. The pain was still there but it wasn't as bad anymore.
The coach frowned, "Are you saying you can't see us?" His tone hinted concern. "Carlos, stop joking." Jay demanded, he was beyond worried.
"Nice try, Jay. But, I'm not falling for your stupid prank. Turn on the lights to wherever I am." Carlos snorted and slowly stood up, he wobbled a bit since he received a massive impact. "Ouch, that hurt but I'm alright." He frowned, "Seriously Jay, turn on the lights! I can't see a thing."
"Carlos we're outside, Jay isn't playing a prank on you." Ben answered. The team was silent, while Jay's gaze lowered.
"What? A-Are you telling me... that I'm blind?!" Carlos touched his face and eyes, suddenly panicking that it's not a joke. "No! It can't be!" He walked but was have difficultly doing so. Just as he was about to trip, Jay caught him.
"Jay, is that you?!" Carlos touched his long hair, "Yup. It's you."
"Carlos, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it." Jay' voice slightly trembled, which Carlos noticed.
"It was an accident. It's not your fault," he reassured then turned around to look at the coach. "Coach, can me and Jay be excused. We need to find our friend, Mal, so she can give me back my eyesight."
The coach was behind Carlos, but instead of correcting him he quickly got in front of Carlos. "Both are excuse. Hope you get your eyesight back Carlos, because we need our player." Carlos nodded and began to walk away with Jay, who was helping.
"I'm so glad Mal has powers." Jay nodded in agreement.
