Blossom grabbed about two sheets of tissue before she blew her nose into it. 'I wonder what sport they're doing today?'
She was curious as to see what time it is but the clock was in the kitchen and she did not feel like moving at all again.
'I hope they call me to tell me what happened today…besides, it's so boring not being able to go to school.' She ruminates to herself before she gently rests her head back onto the pillow.
Blossom then shifted the blanket that covers her body so that it would pools at her lower waist. Her pink eyes unintentionally paused to look at her right hand.
She lifts it until it was eye level and spreads her fingers apart, turns her hand around so she could see her palm before she turns it again and closes her fingers.
'I wonder why did the light come from our hands when we tried to shake each other hands.' She wonders to herself when she remembers clearly what happen between her and Brick.
The orange haired teen emits a heavy sigh and places her hand underneath the covers, 'Why I am thinking about this so much?'

"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention." Principal Alma loudly announced, which caused all of the Sophomore class to move over to where he stood.
"As you can see by the board, Ms. Omiya class will be competing in the Championship game for side one and they will be going up against side two winners, Mr. Matura's class." He continues on from his previous announcement.
They was a round of applause heard from the others, who would be spectators to the final game for the Field Hockey portion of Sports Fest.
"They're both entering the area of play now but the winner of this game will win ten points while second place will win five points. Third place will spilt points among the other two so without further ado we will start the Championship round for the girls first." The purple haired male finished up, as they seemed to flock toward the gates of the area.
The girls were neatly lined up on their respective benches as they anxiously await for the referees to come back from their break.
"Bubbles," Her light blue eyes were looking up to see that Boomer was standing in front of her, "Good luck out there."
Bubbles offered a heartwarming smile and a gentle "Thank you" towards the blonde boy.
Buttercup and Butch were a little further down the bench, "Just try not to get any more body checks out their Butter."
"Aw, it sounds like you starting to grow a soft spot for me Butchie." She playfully teased him after she heard what Butch told her.
"I mean I am giving you the warning about dishing out body checks to your rival Bell. The team needs you since you are down one sister." He sternly advises her.
"Well then, I promise to uphold on my end. Just try not to worry so much about me." The raven haired teen confidently proclaims him before she flashes him a thumbs up after she secures her helmet on top of her head.
"Go get 'em, Butter!" He loudly cheered her on while he returned the thumbs up gesture before the referees' whistle was heard.
Buttercup gathers her teammates in a huddle to discuss their game plan to win against Ms. Omiya's class. "Alright ladies, lets do this for Blossom! Midori, you will be the goalie this game. Bubbles, I want you to be the left wing and I'll be the right defender. We will run a very tight defense and keep the area clear for Midori to see. Forwards will run a straight, diagonal, and figure eights that will be reserve for the last three minutes. Does everyone understand the plan?"
"Yes ma'am." She received a unified answer before she watched Bubbles stuck her hand into the center of the circle.
"Victory on 3." Bubbles told them what they were going to say once everyone stuck their hands in. "1…2…3...Victory!"
The crowd around them seemed to grow excited once they saw both of their center forwards take to the center of the circle.
When the referee tossed a coin, it landed on the ground before they deemed Buttercup's team the winner of the toss.
"We chose to do a stick to stick drop." Buttercup voiced on how they wanted to challenge the puck.
The two then place the head of their sticks the same distance from one another with the puck in the middle. The referee then blows his whistle as a signal for the girls to start the exchange.
'Ground-stick-ground-stick-ground-stick and go for the puck.' She thought inwardly when she saw that they managed to retrieve the puck first.
'Can't these imbeciles have any hand-eye coordination?' Bell grumbles to herself when she notes that they lost the puck and that their forwards head straight for her team's goal.
She then noticed that they stayed mostly to their respective side when they charged onto their defense. "Everyone try not to block the sight of the goalie, challenge them upfront."
Buttercup signals for her left defender to move up along with her until they were a few steps from the half line of the court.
The puck was thenpushed to the right side once she was approached by Bell's forwards that left her and the goalie open.
'She's on my side so that means I could…' Bell inwardly considers when she realizes that the girl on the right no longer has the puck in front of her.
'Where did the puck go?' She asked herself before the siren rang, which meant that they had scored.
Mr. Matura's forwards were giving each other a high five for their job well done on scoring that point.
Bell glanced over to see that her class still had a goose egg for a score while a one appeared underneath Mr. Matura's class.
"Alright then, lets score another one!" Buttercup told her forwards, who nodded their heads in agreement.
'That wasn't a bad plan there, Butter. To have your opponents mainly focusing on the middle and their dominant side, easily forgetting all about the quiet Bubbles on the left hand side.' Butch thought highly of Buttercup's strategic plan.
'What else do you have to offer Butter?' He inwardly mused to himself as he decided to watch the next play unfold.
Their game seemed more like Chess then Field Hockey and that the two,who adamantly clashed against each other was evident as well…Bell versus Buttercup.
It was as if they carefully placed their teammates in areas so they could take each other queen's by a Checkmate.
However those who thought Buttercup was all muscle and no brains were absolutely wrong with her excellent display of tactical awareness. It may not have been as developed as Blossom parse but she showed she could compete on the same level as anyone.
Not only that but Buttercup had the full cooperation of her teammates, who were willing to listen to her and not question her judgments.
It was exactly that blind faith Mr. Matura stated to them earlier that was clearly evident in this game on their class side.
Bell's team on the other hand was severely uncoordinated and soon lacked the will to even compete with the other team, who spirits soared above the clouds that even it could not be bounded by the earth.
The result was almost a landslide between the scores if it wasn't for the fact that they only were allowed to play only half of the regulate time that they were suppose to play. Either way it was definitely written in stone that Mr. Matura's girls would seize the victory in the end.
"Good jobs ladies!" They were greeted with cheers of congratulations once they entered the players box before the boys filed out.
"Can you believe we finally got first place?" Midori shouted as she was still rode on the wave of victory.
"Did you see that look on Bell's face?" Bubbles asked them with a wide smile on her face.
"Priceless." Buttercup responded when she saw that all the girls giggled at her statement.
"Look alive girls, the boys are up for their turn." They heard Mr. Matura said to them before their attention was redirected.
"Alright, lets go Boomer!" Bubbles was shouting happily, which everyone passed off as keeping their team spirit uplifted.
"Thank you, Bubbles." He meekly responded to her statement.
"It's your turn to uphold the deal Butch." Buttercup reminds him as he stands directly in front of her.
"You got it." Butch flashed her a thumbs up, which caused her to laugh at his action before she returned the gesture as well.
"Well, well, well it seems as you two are on good terms with each other." Midori coyly teases once the boys left the bench.
"They're even flashing thumbs ups and making deals with one another compared to how she wanted to murder them when they first arrived." Bubbles chimes in.
"I do vaguely remember me throwing a desk at him…" Buttercup was uttering while placing her hand underneath her chin.
"Vaguely? You nearly chewed his head off for almost running us over with his bike." Bubbles answered after hearing her sister's response.
"Who cares? Its all in the past now, Besides, I should've never judge a book by its cover." She stated with a small smile on her face when she spoke.
Bubbles and Midori simply exchanged looks with one another after they heard Buttercup's statement. "After all Bubbles, you aren't off the hook either…I saw how you and Boomer grew closer to each other."
That causes a pink tint to appear on her face when she hears what Buttercup claims, which causies Midori to inwardly think to herself. 'So each one of them likes one of the brothers. How funny.'
"Can we just focus back on the game please?" Bubbles was suggesting while avoiding the looks that she was receiving from them at the moment.
At that time, Boomer just scored a point for the team. Bubbles quickly stood up and loudly cheers for him.
"She so likes him." Midori and Buttercup said in unison after they witnessed the evidence of the proof before they diverted their attention back to the game.

The Field Hockey portion ended with Mr. Matura's class ultimately seized victory and earned the ten points that came with being the champs.
"So it seems as if our winner is present and well deserved of the ten points that comes along with winning the challenge of today's sports portion. It raises their overall total to thirty-one points and we cannot forget about Ms. Omiya's class whose total is now twenty points." Principal Alma announces.
"Now...I would like for everyone to return to their respective homeroom and don't hesitate to stop by the concession stand if you need something to eat."
"Good job you guys! Your spirits were high today and you gave it your all. If you keep it for the rest of the week, we could take the whole thing!" Mr. Matura proclaimed to his class once they settled in their seats.
'He sure is fired up after that pep talk he gave us.' The class all shared similar thoughts along that line.
Buttercup, Blossom, Midori, Butch, Boomer and Brick were sitting around each other chatting as the select few who did not have concession stand or scoring keeping duty.
"Your game started to get interesting towards the end. I thought the boys might've lost that one." Buttercup stated once they were settled in.
"Well when you have a jockey plus a hockey stick plus a no rule tolerate attitude then it equals to a Flash." Butch complained after he heard what Buttercup said.
"It seemed as if he had someone in particular he wanted to hit with his stick." Midori spoke up as she joined in on the conversation.
That caused everyone to look at Brick, "What?! I mean the idiot did try one or two times to take my head off but I'm still here aren't I?"
"One or two? Every chance he was given, he was trying to swing his stick at you." Bubbles refutes Brick's nonchalant questions.
"I mean he annoys me but I kept it within fair play. Besides if I didn't, y'all would have been enjoying a good fist fight." Brick responded back to show that he was clearly unfazed by Flash's actions.
"So you finally got under his skin…I wonder what else would develop between you and Flash during this Sports Fest." Butch alleges when there were knocks at their homeroom door.
"Come in." Mr. Matura said loud enough for whomever it was that stood outside to hear him.
The door slowly slid open and surprisingly the topic of their conversation made his way in before he stopped at Mr. Matura's desk.
They were conversing for a brief second before noticing that Flash was making his way towards where they were sitting at.
"What is it that you want now, Flash?" She annoyingly grips once he stands in front of the group.
He intensely stares at Brick for a while before he diverts his attention to the raven-haired girl of the group.
"I didn't see Blossom at all today. Is she sick?" Flash inquired about the whereabouts of Blossom.
Buttercup closed her eyes, let out a sigh, and shaken her head left and right. "I will not tell you the answer to your question Flash. You are of no importance to Blossom."
His face visibly showed anger and disbelief, "Since you want to be the smart one, call her yourself and if she asks for me hand me the phone."
Having a gut feeling that she was right and that he was wrong, Buttercup was whipping out her phone and pressing the button three.
"Hey Bloss, it's me…" "Oh we had Field Hockey today, yeah." "The usual. She tried to lop my head off…but I'm fine."
"Tell her I said take her medicine." Bubbles mentions to Buttercup, who then nods her head.
"Bubs said take your medicine." "Yeah he's next to me, why? Okay, I'll give him the phone then." This cause Flash's face to glow from anticipation as he watches Buttercup removes the phone from her ear.
"It's not for you Flash…" She quickly comments with a wide smirk on her face, "She asked to speak with Brick."
A quiet hush surrounds the group as Buttercup slightly shakes her cellphone so Brick would take it.
"I think you should take the call outside." Butch suggests after he leans over in his brother's personal space.
Brick removes himself from within the group and makes his way over to Mr. Matura before he points to the door.
"Now do you believe me when I say that Blossom isn't concerned about you?" Buttercup pointed out to a heated Flash.
"How about you loose up the tight leashes from around your sisters' neck so they can live their lives?" He irritably snaps at her before he left them alone.
"If it keeps her away from you then I will gladly tighten the leash, you loser." She assertively retorts all while she quietly mulls over what Flash tells her.
Bubbles, Midori and Butch merely observes the raven-haired girl's facial expressions.
