Enjoy! ^_^

"Yuki, what are you doing?" Chihaya asked while we were practicing.

"Trying a new move, I saw this on TV and thought it looked good and simple... guess I was wrong about the simple part." I grinned.

He chuckled "Well yeah most things like that aren't that easy. Let me try."

He took the ball, put it under one foot backwards, then spun along with the ball to face the front.

"Show off." I muttered.

He smiled "You'll get the hang of it."

"Yeah... in five years."

The whistle blew and we started actually practicing... let's just say it was boot camp. We had to do running exercises, we had to do a few things with the ball, we ended up going in the weight room as well. The coach ended up yelling at me because I wasn't doing the right equipment, mainly because if I did that I would end up becoming a female muscle builder. When we were finished and I was positive my arms would fall off, we ended up being split into two teams and actually play a game.

"Alright, I will give you all five minutes to think of a strategy for your team. The team captains will be Gill and Ose, your time starts now!" The coach yelled.

Our team was made up of Julius, Me, Gill, and Chihaya, while Ose's team was made up of Luke, Ose himself, Won, Toby. They were on the other side of the field, it looked like they were making a hell of a plan too.

"So what is it going to be?" Chihaya asked Gill.

I raised my hand slightly "May I suggest something?"

Gill glanced over at me "Go ahead."

"Ose and Luke are major ball hogs, they won't let any other part of their team have the ball even when they are going to lose. We should mainly focus on blocking them."

Chihaya blinked "You were able to observe all that just by a couple of games."

I shook my head "Nah, they just seem like the ball hogging type." I grinned "Plus I think we should smack some sense into them. They act like they are the only players on the team."

"Alright, Chihaya and I will block them, Juilius, you will be the goalie, Yuki, when it is the right time, you grab the ball and score into the other goal." Gill said.

I blinked "What about the others coming after-" I cringed as the whistle blew.

"Times up! Get ready!"

"...me?" Too late, everyone had left.

I got in front of Luke who now looked like he was towering over me. Wait, I could use this to my advantage, he knew my secret, he couldn't hurt a girl. He knew that too, he looked at me nervously.

"Ready..." The coach blew his whistle. As it was planned, Luke got the ball first, he and Ose passed it back and fourth.

"Ose! Over here!" Won shouted.

Ose kicked it back to Luke, but Chihaya ran in front of him and took the ball. Gill ran in front of Ose and Chihaya kicked the ball to him and Gill shot it to me. I bumped it on my head and wheeled around. For a split second, I took everything in, Won was prepared to block and take the ball and Toby was ready to block in the goal, plus I knew Ose and Luke would be coming up from behind. There was only one thing I could do... run like hell. I ran with the ball, Won tried to block me but I veered right and ran full speed toward the goal. I didn't know how fast I was running with the ball, but everything was blurred as I raced past it and I was breathing hard. I cam to a halt feet near the goal and kicked the ball, it zoomed past Toby and rammed into the net behind him. The whistle blew "Point for the red team!"

I took a deep breath "Good job Yuki!" Chihaya shouted.

I turned and grinned and formed my fingers into a V. Gill just looked at me. It has been two weeks and since the fireworks he has looked at me with the same look in his eyes, though he never really talked to me like we used to, only if he had to.

When practice was over I felt like I was going to puke. I ran so fast every time I scored the goal I must've over done it. I soaked a towel and put it on my head to cool off, I grabbed at water and chugged it.

"You did good out there Yuki." Chihaya grinned.

I smiled "Thanks."

Luke looked over "Were you on track or something before this?"

"No."

"Looked like it, I could barely keep up with you on the field."

I heard Gill mutter something and I looked over at him "What?"

He glanced at me "Nothing."

"What did you say?" I asked.

"I said nothing Yuki, drop it." He snapped.

I jumped up "No I won't. What has been your problem lately?" I asked.

He turned around all the way at gave a a look "My problem is you. You show off like you are better than anyone at this sport!"

I frowned "How?"

"You hog the ball, you act like you know everything about this damn sport and all the moves and crap!"

"How do I hog the ball? I was only doing what you told me to do, if you wanted me to give you the ball you could've said so! And who said I knew everything about this sport? I can't even pull off a stupid stunt."

"Exactly! You are so full of yourself!"

"Where is this coming from all of a sudden?" I asked. Gill never acted like this, it sounded like he was making an excuse to yell at me.

He glared at me then looked away "Nothing..." He said quietly.

"No what is it Gill?"

"Forget it."

"Damn it tell me! What are you possibly mad at me for? Are you mad because the girl you like likes me even though you two have nothing in common and crap like that? Are you mad because I might be better at this than you and I might actually be as smart as you? What is it huh?"

His head snapped back at me "Damn! Shut up Hikari!"

"Hikari?" Chihaya asked "Why did you call him...?"

He looked around "Yeah everybody, Yuki is actually a girl, she has been disguised like this the whole time just so she could play soccer here, the actual Yuki is nowhere near here! He is in America as we speak! I've had to keep my damn mouth shut about this the whole time she has been here just so she could live here! If you don't believe me she is wearing a vest right now under her shirt!"

Everybody's mouths were wide open, especially mine. I felt my stomach turn uncontrollably. My gaze went to the floor then.

Gill looked around "What? You guys shouldn't be amazed that she was a girl!"

Luke looked at me "Hikari..."

i continued to stare at the ground "He's right... I'm Hikari... sorry for lying everyone..." I couldn't really say anything else because if I did I would probably start sobbing, my vision was already blurry because of tears. I blinked and a few huge tears landed on the floor. I couldn't stand it anymore, I jolted out of there and ran as fast as I could back to my house. I slammed the door shut behind me and locked it. I heard sobs escape my lips and I slid down to the floor, held my knees against my chest, and cried. There were a few reasons that I cried, from the frustration that now everyone was going to know, I let the team down, and most of all, the fact that I trusted Gill and had such strong feeling for him, just because he was frustrated he decided to give away the secret and act like it was nothing. He didn't sound like he even cared that it hurt me. After about an hour of crying by the door, I got up and went in the bathroom to take a shower. I felt like an idiot too, if I hadn't gotten mad at him at the summer festival none of this would've happened. I finally got out and changed into comfortable clothing, actually just one of my old graphic tees and some capris.

I sighed and called my ex, after the third ring it picked up "Hello?" I heard girl giggling in the back, obviously he had his new girlfriend with him, again one of the main reasons I broke up with him, he was a freakin womanizer.

"The bet is off, that guy you had a fight with at that festival gave away the secret."

"Aw that sucks. I really wanted to tell everyone that too."

"Yeah well he told all the guys in my class so by now all the girls know too, meaning the town does. The bet is off."

"Aw, sounds like your crush hurt your feelings, do you need a hug?"

"Nah, your girlfriend won't like that. I don't here giggling anymore, sounds like she went to the bathroom or something, or are you at her house getting ready to get her in bed?"

"Restaurant and she was calling her mom."

"Well good luck with the ditz."

"How bout once I dump her we can grab a burger sometime?"

"How bout you burn in hell!" I hung up. I felt bad for the girl, now that most girls with my common sense knew his game, he usually aims for the ditzy type of girls. From the way she laughed it was probably a cheerleader type of girl.

The phone rang again "Hello?"

"Hikari?" It was Yuki.

I sighed "Hi!"

"What's wrong with you, you sound horrible."

"Well bud, the secrets out now, how do you think I'm supposed to feel?"

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, the guy who knew the secret got pissed and gave it away like it was nothing in front of the entire team."

"Wow, what an ass."

"Mhm..."

"Well... If it makes you feel any better, I'm on a plane to the boats that will take me to Castanet right now."

I blinked "Really?"

"Yep."

"Well... good luck getting into the school cause there is no way they will take me anymore."

We were quiet for a second "The guy who knew you secret... you liked him?"

"What?"

"You sound down... like when you dumped you other boyfriend... but this sounds different... like you really liked the guy."

"No."

"I'm your brother, I know when you are lying."

I sighed "Yeah... I really liked him..."

"Sorry sis."

"It's fine... there are other fish in the sea."

"Alrighty... I'll try and make it over there as soon as possible k?"

"Okay."

"Seeya."

"Bye."

There was a knock on the door "Hikari?" It was Chihaya "Can you open the door please?"

"That depends... is there an angry mob out there?"

I heard him chuckle "No, just me, I promise."

"You better."

I opened the door and he smiled slightly "Can I come in so we can talk real quick? You look like you need to talk."

I nodded and let him in, he sat on the bed next to me.

"So... everything Gill said is true?" He asked.

"Yeah."

He scratched his head "Actually part of me saw it coming, there were a few small signs that seem obvious now."

"Don't rub it in." I said.

He held up his hands "Sorry sorry. Anyway... after you left... Luke got really mad and yelled at Gill. I'm guessing he knew as well?"

"Yeah."

"Well, so yeah he yelled at him saying how you trusted him and stuff like that. Gill started yelling back at him. All of us thought what he did was bad and cruel to you, so we were all on Luke's side during the argument. We made sure none of us will tell your secret to anyone."

I looked at the floor "So... Gill still hates me."

"No..." He looked to the ground "Luke said something that made the look in Gill's eyes change."

"What did Luke say?"

"That he knew you liked Gill a lot and that you must've been hurt a lot by what he did. When he said that Gill's eyes were full of regret. When we left he looked like he hated himself. Hikari..." He made me look at him "Gill likes you a lot, you remember I told you that he has feeling for you?"

I nodded.

"I suggest you give him another chance. He really likes you." He grinned.

I blinked up at him and smiled "Thanks Chihaya."

He looked puzzled "For what?"

"For cheering me up, you made my day."

He smiled back and said "Any time."

Uh oh! Does Hikari still have feelings for Gill or not? Got at least two chapters left till the end of the story T_T and I enjoyed writing this one too! Well anyway I hope you liked it and please comment or leave ideas! ^-^
