"Namine made someone cry again."

"I know you have the right to be jealous but you can't say mean things just because of that." The whispers continued on and on.

That's not it. I'm not jealous. I didn't mean to say those things.

Namine shivered in fear and hid her tears. She tried to remain calm as possible but she can't bear it. Her tears started flowing and before she knew it was already the second period of class. Her boyfriend stood in front of her desk and looked like he has something, something very important.

Her eyes widened and her tears continued to fall. The image of her boyfriend's silver hair engraved in her mind. She curled up on the ground and continued to cry.

Her boyfriend broke up with her in front of everybody. Everyone laughed at her face. She couldn't hold it any longer so she ran away and lead her to the current place she where. She continued to cry and rolled to the ground. She was so devastated that she didn't even bother that she was rolling on the dirt.

Then he came, extending his arms reaching Namine.

"Meeting adjourned." I said, shocking Namine. I grinned and tapped her forehead. "Wait. Are you spacing out?" Namine turned away and hid her embarrass, blushing face.

"I'm not." She stood up and quickly walked out of the classroom. Roxas looked at me and laughed. "You're really got along with her very well."

I sighed and smiled. "It can't be help. She's adorable." Roxas laughed even more and looked at me with confusion. "Adorable? That's the first. Everyone hates her because of her sharp tongue."

"I can't believe it….. Roxas knew." I muttered. The twins warned me that Roxas was so dense that he can't even understand a simple sarcastic joke.

"Knew what?" He asked, obliviously. I faced palmed and sighed. Example number one!

Someone took my hands and snatched me away from Roxas. They covered my mouth and arms. I tried to struggle free but the grip was so strong. I glanced at them and saw it was a bunch of guys. Figures. I thought it was a mob of fan girls that wants me to distance myself to Roxas. I spit on his hands and head butted him. I ran immediately when he let go of his hold. I look at them for the last time and stuck my tongue out.

But it was a disaster…. While I was busy spitting on his hands someone already got hands on my bag so I had no choice but to go with them. They cornered me at the corner while the person I bit was still excruciating from pain.

"What do you want with me?" I asked, acting like a tough chick.

"We heard you join the student council body."

"Are you insane?"

"What if I am?" I stuck up my nose and folded my arms.

"But Namine is-"

I laughed like a person losing her head. I faced palmed and looked at them. "You can threaten me but you guys are afraid of Namine? " I paused and laughed again. "You gotta be kidding me."

"But you don't know how sharp her tongue is!" One of the guys said to me.

I glared at him, causing him to fall to his knees, shivering. "I know. And unlike you I can handle her. I can tolerate her words. You know why, BECAUSE I'M NOT WEAK!"

The guys clenched their fists and showered me with obscene words. One guy even grabbed my school uniform and raised it up. I hold on to my breath and tried let go of his hold.

"I can't breathe." I said to him and hold on to the guy's arms holding my uniform. Next thing I knew, he punched me in the face.

"What happened to you?" A bunch of my classmates said the day after the incident. Roxas offered me to go to the clinic while Namine…. was doing everything to not notice me. She's doing it so I can't see how worried she is. But that's just a hunch, guessing it's Namine I think it's highly possible.

One girl even talked to me that she was threatened to join the guy's coup d'état. Apparently she was the only girl in the student council besides Namine. She said that the guys were always pissed off by her sharp tongue and they think that Namine didn't care if they do their work or not. So they decided to quit.

"If they already quitted, why don't re-elect new ones?" I said to Namine and Roxas later that afternoon. Roxas looked Namine and sighed. "We never told the principal and the whole faculty."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" I shouted at the canteen. "How long has it been?"

"Since the start of the school year." Roxas said, weakly.

I sighed and folded my arms. My feet continued to move from irritation. "Martyr."

Namine finally reacted and put down her spoon and fork. "It's my leadership that led to this kind of problem so everything is my fault."

I guess Namine really wanted to be part of the student council. Her passion can be seen for the tremendous amount of work she took without a single complains. Everyone then destroyed it for her. Then she started thinking that it was really her fault.

Later that day while everyone was getting ready to go home, the guys went to my class and apologized. I folded my arms and stared to their soul while listening to their reason. I want them to feel how big the commotion they did. There was no point of threatening someone to join them. There was no point of starting a rebellion actually.

"We're sorry." One of the guys said and bowed his head while the others avoided my gaze. He was not there before. I guess he was ordered to say sorry for the guys' mistake.

"Are you their personal assistant?"

"WHY YOU!" The impatient guy at the back tried to punch but a bunch of people rushed into the scene and stopped him.

"Oh you're the one who punched me right?" I smiled and turned into a devil gaze. "How does it feel? To me it was wonderful." I said with sarcastic tone.

"We're here to say sorry." A guy with glasses said. I guess he's the brains.

"Then tell it to me face to face." I folded my arms and looked away. "Pride of men stung you hard?"

A silence can be heard. I sighed and looked at them. "Let's have a match. When I win you guys will be back at the student council room."

"And what if we win?" The brains asked.

I smirked and looked at them. "Say that if you can really do it. But to give you advantages choose the field of sport."

"Soccer. We'll going to have the match next we-"

"Good let's start now. Meet you at the field." I interrupted them and head out of the room. Roxas and Namine followed me.

"I don't approve this."

"Namine this is for you so stop whining."

"It's not it. They're part of the soccer varsity." For the first time, I heard her say with a worried tone.

I smiled and gave her a comforting smile. "It'll be okay."

I changed to my P.E uniform and borrowed cleats from a girl from my class. I breathe deeply and tried to concentrate. I'm confident with my athletic ability but stopping for almost half a year from playing might rust my abilities. I tried to compose my stature. I tried to keep my head in the game.

The game started after 30 minutes. They decided that the game will be decided if I scored a goal or if they got the ball and I can't get it back for 5 minutes. The rule was easy and I can sense that they really are holding back. That's great news for me. I can kick their butt with my speed.

The ball was given to me and I started to dribble forward. The guys who cornered are the one playing the game two backers and one in keeper while the ball carrier was me. Their defense was not that tight. I dribbled the ball forward tried to sense on how they will attack. They tried to get the ball as lightly as possible. They thought that a simple can get the ball from me.

But when they found out that I really could put up a fight. They started to take it seriously. They tried a diving kick but no avail. While they are busy comprehending that they can't get a ball from a silly girl, I dribbled the ball forward and head to the goal. I met the brains waiting at the goal. I smiled and started to fight one on one with him. I tried a couple feints but he could deduce that I was only kidding. I smirked and tried to do my special move before the backers continue to get the ball from me. I sighed and did the "Bicycle Kick" that made my opponents shocked and even the bystanders.

I took the goal and jumped happily. Everyone welcome me with their applause and hugs while the guys stood at the background waiting for my response. I smiled and went to their place. I shook hands with them and accepted their apology.

"Welcome back."

Sucks at sport related narration and even at fight scenes. *sigh* I tried to try something new and this is what I came up with. *sigh* I'm going to bury myself now.
