Chapter 7: A call from God

Three weeks had passed since the fateful phone call. Lok made the team, much to the delight of Dante and Scarlet. Wind and Rassamov weren't so happy. After deliberately going after Lok several times in a row, the coach took them off the team.
It happened one day when Sophie was sick (Lok didn't believe she was sick because she came back the next day looking perfectly fine as the day before she was "sick"). He was out of his mind, concerned for Sophie. She might not think he knew, but the signs were all there. He was just waiting for her to come to him. Wind and Rassamov noticed his lapse in concentration and were extra hard on him. The coach finally said something after they choked Lok by the neck of his jersey and punched him in the stomach. Forced to say something (the coach didn't want to lose two good players) he told him he expected better from his player, and they were off the team.
Lok, along with many others, was relieved.The miserable pair terrorized all the player, except Montehue. The two brothers stormed off the field, brewing in self-made hurricanes. A few players cheered, making the coach question his turning a blind eye. Practice resumed as usual, but the entire team played better now. The coach knew they would be ready for their first game. Lok wasn't so sure.

"You'll do fine. I know you will." Sophie was trying to reassure the trembling blonde. This was the first time Sophie had ever seen Lok have a panic attack, usually she was the one who lost it.

"ButwhatifImissorovershootor-"

"LOK!" Zhalia, who was in the locker room as well, shook him. The wild look in his blue eyes disappeared, replaced by terror. Sophie and Zhalia had a mutual agreement of friendship. Sophie took martial arts and gymnastics with her. Sometimes they hung out with the blueberry head at lunch. The girls liked to pick on Lok.

"You heard the Casterwill, you'll do fine." Dante joined the conversation. He too sometimes hung out with the inseparable pair and loner. All four of them were in a permanent group for Literature.

Lok nodded, slightly reassured by his friends.

"S-sure. I-it's like practice, only real, and the guys will be out for blood."

"After practicing with the twin bastards, you should be good to go," commented Zhalia dryly. Sophie and Lok laughed. The strawberry haired girl hugged her friend as he was called onto the field.

"See you after the game!" The lone girl made her way into the stands. The game started off bad. Lok wasn't in, and the team was getting creamed. Montehue and Dante were out as well. After three touchdowns, the coach put in the behemoth and captain. The team caught up and surpassed their opponents. Sophie watched in horror as Montehue and Tersely (surprise) were crushed by pretty much the entire other team. The refs had to help the smaller boy off the field.

Paramedics swarmed the area, and it turned out that Tersely had a fractured collarbone. Montehue was mostly fine, just very concerned for his little friend. Lok's nerves mounted as he watched the game start to fall apart again. The players were on edge. The cheerleaders dropped a girl, who had a hairline fracture( no one noticed or knew until later). Everyone was falling apart.

Sophie could feel the pep drop and the tension mount. Her eyes followed the quaterback's plays. They sucked. Lok could do so much better. The team only had five minutes to score two touchdowns. Sophie narrowed her eyes. Time for some intervention.

Whipping out her cellphone, she called the coach (she stole his number from Lok's phone in case she ever had to yell at him). The phone rang twice before he picked up.

"Hello?"

"Put Lok on the field." Sophie watched as the coach looked around the stands.

"Excuse me?" Sophie sighed loudly.

"I said put Lok on the field. Switch him out with the quarterback."

"Who is this?" The coach's voice held question.

"God." Sophie answered, sarcasm present, into the phone and hung up. To her delight she watched as the coach did exactly what she told him to do. On the edge she watched as the play began. In slow motion it seemed, her eyes beheld the sight of Lok getting the ball, looking for Dante, and releasing the ball with a quick throw. It was perfect. Dante drew the ball to his chest and ran the touchdown.

The coach made the sign of the cross and cheered. All the cheerleaders flipped and kicked and did stunts in celebration. The game ended a few minutes later. They won 59 to 35. Sophie ran down to meet Lok.

"You were amazing!" Lok received the girl with open arms. Lok told her about the coach saying God had given him a call, but it sounded like a girl.

"You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" A mischievous grin spread across Sophie's face.

"A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do." Lok let loose a laugh and swung his arm around Sophie's shoulder.

"Let's go get ice cream, princess."

I liked writing this chapter. It was a bit short, but fun to write. As usual our fav seekers will finish it off.

Sophie: That was fun!

Lok: It was, wasn't it?

Tersely: Not for me!

Scarlet: Who invited you?

Zhalia: Who invited YOU!? Nobody likes you right now. Bye!(Scarlet and Tersely disappear)

Dante: Let's get back to the matter at hand!

Lok: What do I know?

Sophie: Why won't I tell him the truth?

Zhalia: Why did Scarlet mess up? I mean, she's been a cheerleader for fucking ever!

Dante: Not relevant.

Me: Oh, shut up! How long does it take you to tell them to review!?

Dante: Do it for me?

Everyone else:SHUT UP!
