This Wasn't Meant to Be
Here is the next chapter, sorry for the delay I have too much homework, DOH! Darn English assignment! Oh well, thanks so very much for your reviews and here it is… Before chapter starts, note to self, get Misaki to read this story…
Chapter Two
The boy Ham-Hams were scattered amongst the field, not including Maxwell. Maxwell stood on one end of the field as the Ham-Hams took their time forming teams. There were shouts of
"I'm on Hamtaro's team!"
or
"I'm going to cane all youse!"
But then there also was the common whining of:
"Howdyyy! You can't be on my team I want to prove to Pashmina that I am better at soccer than you!"
"You wish!"
Then Stan just had to butt in saying
"You guys are both going to lose… To me of course!"
Then a big argument started…
Then finally, finally the Ham-Hams were sorted into teams-
Team A
Stan
Hamtaro
Oxnard
Panda
Team B
Howdy
Dexter
Boss
Cappy
This suited them fine, because sorting the Ham-Hams into groups is like doing a giant jigsaw puzzle, Cappy can't be separated from Boss as he desperately wants to be like him.
Oxnard sticks to Hamtaro nearly all the time, and Howdy and Dexter on the same team was a strange combination, however they wanted to prove that they could beat Stan soooo they had to be on Stan's opposing team.
Panda? Well Panda's fine wherever he goes, he is a friendly yet forgotten Hamster!
After the many arguments had been settled, Maxwell blew his whistle and the game began…
Hamtaro was first in possession of the ball, and Bijou yelled out "GO HAMTARO!" nearly deafening Sandy. Boss turned an unusual shade of purple and stormed like a bull stealing the ball of Hamtaro.
As Boss went down the field he passed the ball to Dexter so as it not to be stolen by Oxnard, and Dexter dribbled it nearly to the goal, where Panda was defending, Stan came up defending.
"PASS IT TO ME!" yelled Howdy running alongside Dexter, "I DON'T NEED HELP FROM A LITTLE COUNTRY HAM!" Dexter yelled back, Howdy stopped running looking surprised and confused.
Stan got in possession of the ball when Dexter wasn't paying attention and shouting insults at Howdy.
As Stan got the ball at the halfway mark Boss tackled him and Pashmina booed and Sandy gasped, Maxwell just blew his whistle. "Penalty!" he yelled, "Stan gets a shot at the goal!"
Boss's face turned red, just as he was about to explode at Maxwell, an insult was heard by everyone, "YOU'RE A LITTLE FOUR EYES AREN'T YOU!" shouted by Howdy, and then there was an insult thrown back, "THAT'S A LOT TO SAY FROM A BIG-MOUTHED CORN-CRACKING-" Dexter never finished his sentence because Howdy punched him in the face.
Dexter looked surprised for a second then punched Howdy in the gut leaving him winded, it looked like Dexter was winning the fight, when the whistle was blown, Dexter stopped kicking Howdy, Boss stopped cheering them on, Sandy stopped yelling stuff like "STOP IT!" and everyone turned to Maxwell.
"Cut it out you two!" He called out looking weary. "Let's just get on with the game!"
Boss however was still very angry about the "Penalty" shot. As he was about to get in possession of the ball a mischievous smile spread across his face, he kicked the ball in the air…
It landed smack bang on Maxwell's head, "Ooooh! Not so big now are we little bookworm?" Boss called out. "Boss…" Pashmina, Sandy and Bijou warned him. Maxwell's face turned bright red.
He unravelled the whistle from his neck and threw it on the ground, "THAT IS IT!" he yelled, "I AM LEAVING, YOU GUYS NEVER APPRECIATE ME HERE ANYMORE! DO YOU THINK I LIKE GIVING UP MY TIME TO TEACH YOU IDIOTS? DO YOU THINK IT IS EASY TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS A BUNCH OF HALF-WITS? I AM SO ASHAMED TO BELIEVE YOU GUYS WERE MY FRIENDS, BECAUSE NOW IT NEVER SEEMS LIKE ANYONE CARES ABOUT HOW I FEEL ANYMORE!"
"I care," a voice softly said, Maxwell turned around, "I care a lot about you Maxwell," Sandy continued. "I know you care," he muttered, "And I care for you too. But as for the rest of you," he turned to the stunned faces of the Ham-Hams, "Find a new teacher to take my place," and as he stormed off he called over his shoulder.
"And a new friend too!"
Sandy burst into tears, Oxnard choked on his sunflower seed, Hamtaro was crushed, he, Oxnard and Boss had created the clubhouse, and- and well now one of the members finally left.
"This is all your fault Stan! And you too Boss!" Sandy choked out through tears, she ran off with Bijou and Pashmina trailing after her.
"What did I do?" Stan asked.
"You blew the spitball," Dexter said smartly.
"SHUT UP!" he yelled.
"Umm you guys-" Hamtaro began,
"We don't need to hear your wise remarks Hamtaro!" Howdy yelled.
"YEAH!" Dexter agreed, and they stalked off.
"Well," Hamtaro said heavily to Boss and Stan, "I don't blame you guys!"
"It's ok," muttered Boss looking at the ground.
"Thanks Hamtaro," Stan said staring at some clouds, "You're a good friend!"
The three looked at the retreating outlines of Cappy and Panda.
They trudged slowly back to the clubhouse, hearts heavy.
