2 weeks have passed by since the crazy day. Katara ended bringing home the bacon from her tournament while for Zen it was the finals for the regionals before the tournament cup. The tournament is at it's second half of the game. Both team scored 3-3 in the first have, only 10 minutes left for the game. Both teams struggle to get the ball to the goal.
Zen's PoV.
5 minutes left till the game ends but if we don't score yet, we would have to deal with the penalty shots. We need to make an opening first before shooting, it would save our stamina more. I dodge the other teams defense and passed the ball to Jiro. I immediately ran to the other side to lose the defenders that's been pinning me since first half. Hopefully, my stamina is much higher than theirs. Just 30 seconds till time then I asked for the ball but Jiro had other plans, he kicked the ball like he was gonna shoot and this made the goalkeeper to jump towards the right and falls down. Before the goal keeper could get up I kicked the ball towards the goal and I SCORRRREEEDDD.
I ran to Jiro and jumped at him with a fist in the air. We both looked at each other in amazement, still not believing we did some miracle for the last minute. We both stood there with eyes widened, To get it real, we look like children that got candies for the first time. We were above the clouds! The team pushed us as they ran full of excitment as we made it to the tournament cup. Some were laughing, some were crying and some were shouting at the top of their lungs. That moment was so amazing that the cheers from the people was clouded. All I could think about was, we made it. Even now I was still breathing heavily from playing hard. I turned my head to look towards our opponents and saw them crying at the ground. If we lost we would've been the same. I walk slowly towards Kiko, someone I've just met when the game began. He took my hand when I extended it to help him. "You guys... carry on our dreams.." He was struggling to chase out his words from his mouth as his tears keep on falling from his eyes. I tightened my grip on his hand and looked him at his eyes "I'll be sure to bring it home. Along with your dreams." He looked up to me and nodded.
Moments after the celebration at the field, we were asked to line up for the closing of the game. I could still see their eyes being red from crying. Some were looking down but with that said we, the team, vowed to bring their dreams with us in the tournament cup. We brought out our items to put it in the bus that we were using. After a tough match like that I could say that it was one of the best and difficult match that I have ever played. Before going in the bus the coach allowed us to talk to our family and peers that cheered for us today but before that we thanked the fans that supported and cheered for us. "THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORTING US! PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT US IN THE TOURNAMENT CUP. WE BELIEVE WITHOUT YOU GUYS WE WOULDN'T MADE IT BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGES THE FACT THAT RIGHT NOW WE ARE PLAYING FOR THE TOURNAMENT CUP! OUR WIN IS YOUR WIN!" Our captain Hatsuki shouted with tears forming at his eyes. To show our gratefulness we all bowed down to them. "THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" We all shouted in unison.
After hearing the cheers from the fans we made our way to our family and friends. Lily was with the gang they were talking about something which made me raise my brow. "What you guys talking about?" Lily jumped upon hearing my voice "Hey there big bro.." She laughed awkwardly and kept on avoiding my eyes. It made me more skeptical about her actions. Actually all of them made me skeptical about their actions. They kept on avoiding my eyes for some time now. "SleepyAce congratulations on winning the regionals!" Toph punched my side arm. Finally someone who is normal and not acting weird. "Thanks Toph, would you mind telling me what's up with everyone?" I crossed my arms. "What's up? nothings up buddy. Anyway congrats on winning!" Sokka laugh in a very wierdly manner.
I was getting irritated by their actions that I just decided to walk away from them. I didn't really heard what they said after I walked away besides Katara didn't even looked nor said a word. Aang was playing 'I'm on the phone with a friend'. Suki on the other hand was looking around looking for something or someone that doesn't even exist. Now Zuko was playing that 'Don't ask me I don't know a thing'! Thankfully Toph was the only one who acted normal about it. I just hoped they would've been happy for me winning this regionals. I got inside the bus and put on my headset and played some music while waiting for the rest of the team. I closed my eyes and let the music flow with my imagination. Minutes later I dozed off. Guess I was too tired after that match.
"en.. Zen, Zen wake up we're here" Jiro waked me up from my slumber. "mm, thanks" He patted my back "No worries, and don't forget later 6pm at ichi ichi ramen , coach said he is paying." I looked at him "For real?" Jiro nodded and grinned. I know that look, it's a look that we have been waiting for. I grinned back at him telling him I understand.
I got out the bus and walk to the dorm. It was 4:30 pm so I took a bath. It was so refreshing after being so sweaty after the game. I dwell in the bath and manage to lose some time. After I took a bath it was 5pm. I was fixing my hair when I heard the door open. It was the gang along with my sister. They stood there in silence. I looked at them but payed no mind after a few seconds. I grabbed my phone and wallet and pass them by the door way. "Zen" It was Katara's voice. I stopped and looked back "What?" Katara seems uneasy "Where are you going?" I almost rolled my eyes for nothing but fortunately I didn't "The team is celebratingfor winning. Coach is paying. I need to go I'll be late." I quickly turned around and walk away before they stop me, but Katara ran passed me and stop in front of me. I raised my brow. "What?"
She looks down "Sorry" Who am I kidding I couldn't even get mad at them. I flicked her forehead to grab her attention and make her look at my eyes. "What is it" I said softly. She was rubbing the part where I flicked her. She grabbed something from her bag pocket and handed it to me. It was a dark green leather bracelet with an accessory that's a soccer ball. "Congratulations on winning regionals, We made that along with your sister.." Katara was blushing. It made me smile, so this was it? Why they were acting so skeptical? I sighed and swiftly pulled her into a hug. "Thank you" After I said that I could feel her hands wrapped around me as she layed her head at my neck.
I pulled back "But I really need to go, My coach is paying and this doesn't happen everytime. It just happens once in a lifetime" I said so seriously that made Katara laugh while her hands is still at my side. She's really beautiful "Okay, okay then tomorrow let's celebrate with the gang." I smiled and nodded as I head out the dorm and made my way to ichi ichi ramen.
"Zen!" Jiro was waving his hands.I made my way over to them and sat down. It was rowdy but I guess since we manage our way to the tournament cup. Tournament cup the tournament that comes once a year. Only the best in 16 regions can participate. It's the Nationals but it's just called as Tournament Cup. "So Cap' what's your plan after college?" I asked him since there are only 2 years left for him. He leaned back and placed a hand on his chin "I plan on going pro but I also want to be a lawyer so other than that I got nothing" He sink from his sit. "How bout you Jiro?" Jiro just rose his brows at me "Dude, we're in the same year."
Ah right we were both sophomore. "Still what's your plan?" I was eager to know because I myself don't really know what to do after college. I really plan on going pro but if no one will take me then what will I do. "I wanna go pro" Jiro simply stated. The coach stood up from his sit "This night is for you guys! Great job out there! I'm so proud of you guys but remember we still have the tournament cup to conquer! Cheers!" As he holds up his beer. We did the same "CHEERS!". After hours of drinking, more than half of us is drunk and some tipsy. "Damn Zen! you can hold your liquor *hic*" Jiro swayed as he put his arms up my shoulders, clearly drunk. "Tell me what. That blue eyed girl" Katara? what does he want to know about Katara? I furrowed my eyes to him "Are you two dating? If not can I ask her out? but why am I even asking you if you're not dating" Jiro laughed loudly. I could feel myself getting irritated by his behaviour.
I looked down at my drink "Nope, We're not dating." He gleamed up but quickly drowned. "But she's mine." I growled at the drunk man. He quickly raised his hands "Okay okay, she's yours." I sighed and rub the temple of my head. I looked at the time it was 10:36 in the evening. Moments after, little by little the players started to go home. I checked the time 11:04. It was getting late, I bid my goodbye to my coach and the teammates who were still drinking.
I walked home but I found myself outside the girls dorm. I thought of Katara. I just knew the girl for 2 months and some how I'm always thinking about her. I opened my phone and dialed Katara.
ring ring
ring ring.
click!
"Zen?"
I blinked, I didn't actually thought she would answer my call "Um hey"
"Ah, Is there something wrong? Why'd you call? it's already midnight."
Her voice sounds like she was coming from a sleep and she was whispering, I guess Suki was asleep "Everything is alright. Sorry did I woke you up?"
"..."
"Yeah, but it's alright. How's the celebration?"
The celebration huh, suddenly Jiro's words came in my mind
Jiro swayed as he put his arms up my shoulders, clearly drunk. "Tell me what. That blue eyed girl" Katara? what does he want to know about Katara? I furrowed my eyes to him "Are you two dating? If not can I ask her out? but why am I even asking you if you're not dating" Jiro laughed loudly. I could feel myself getting irritated by his behaviour.
"It was.. good.." I drift my look away towards the sky.
"Is that so? Zen, are you really alright? Where are you anyway?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. I'm actually.. outside your dorm" I scratched my cheek lightly. She suddenly drop the call. "Katara? Hello?" I sighed. Who wouldn't be creeped out by that. A guy standing outside the dorm then called her out of the blue. I looked up again at the sky. It was full of stars.
I was about to walk away until I was grabbed at the arm by a panting girl. It was Katara, she was wearing an oversized shirt and shorts. "Hey" She composed herself "Did you wait long?" She said while taking a breath. I blinked, really confuse about what was going on. "Zen? Why aren't you talking?" I snapped out of it "Uhm hey, I- I just thought you got weirded out." She raised a brow "Why would you think that?" I averted my eyes "Well, You suddenly drop the call"
She put her hands at her back then covers her mouth lightly and looked at me shyly "Well, I was kinda surprised that you were here and I thought... I want to see you.." It was dark but I could clearly see her cheeks turning pink and I'm very positive that my cheeks were also turning pink, It was burning up. I leaned at the railings "Yeah, me too.." Looking away from Katara. I could clearly see her smiling in my peripheral view that made me smile too. "So, what made you come here?" Katara leaned at the railings beside me. What made me come here anyway? I don't know. My feet just brought me here. "I don't really know" I could feel the alcohol kicking in. My vision starts to get wiggly. Katara looked at me as she furrowed her brows "Did you drink?" I manage to stay still "Um.. yeah, I kinda over did it" I chuckled lightly. I sat at the nearby bench because I felt like I would fall any minute. Katara quietly sat beside me too. She pulled the side of my head and placed it at her shoulder. "You can rest up till you sobered up. It would be dangerous if you walk alone drunk"
"Okay, Thanks." Silence filled the space. "Did I interrupted your sleep?" I asked her looking straight ahead. I felt her head shake "It's fine, I couldn't really sleep well tonight." I sat up and looked at her "Why though?" She look straight at my eyes "Well.. No, It's nothing." She was now looking down. I gently touched her chin and made her face me "You can tell me. What is it?" I could see her eyes forming tears. I gently cupped her face and wiped her tears "I.. I just remembered my mom" Katara touched her necklace. That was the necklace she was always wearing. "She died of cancer back when I was 7 years old. She was my bestfriend, my sister, my Mom and everything. She was always there for me, when I was crying, laughing or angry." I didn't know what to say, I just remained silent as she tells me stories from when she was younger.
"There was one time Mom took me to a park and played with me there. It was a very precious memory for me Zen." I looked at her. I gently touched her cheek in which she responded too "It's really hard to miss someone" I told her softly. She nodded "But you should always know that she may not be there by yourside now, She will always be in your heart Katara." She hugged me and I felt her tears fell at my neck "I know, It's just really hard and I know nothing is easy it's just that.." I patted her back gently "Just cry it all out. I know it's hard but I'll be here okay? Call me whenever you want to cry and I'll be your shoulder that you lean on." She nodded and hugged me tightly "It feels so unfair doesn't it? 'Why did it happened to me' 'Why us?' That's always the question we ask. You know when my mom left us and my dad started to beat me up that was all the questions I've asked. In the end it didn't get answered, instead I told myself to stop questioning Why did it happened or Just the word Why. I started looking ahead and saw the present and the future. I'm not telling you to forget about the past it's still important that you know your past. But the thing is, whenever something bad happened to us all we think about is the past and the mistake we did. And that's when we forget about our present and future."
Katara pulled back from hugging me I still see her tears and I wiped it using my thumb "Say, How long have we known each other?" She asked me. "About 2 months?" Was it 2 months or 3 months? ah yeah about 2months. I looked at her and she was thinking about something and I saw her shiver. I removed my Jacket and put it at her. I swear I could feel myself heating up. It's like we're dating but the fact still stands we aren't. She was so busy thinking she didn't even noticed that I put on my jacket on her. I glared at her but decided to let it go. "You alright?" I flicked her forehead which manage to grab her attention "Ah yep, Thanks Zen" While pulling the jacket closer to her.
"Can't have you shivering when I was the one who called you down here, can I?" I leaned back. "You didn't call me down, I dropped the call remember?" She giggled and I could still hear it in her voice that she cried. "Well it's really getting late and you need some rest." I told her while fidgeting. I didn't really want to go but I had to. Should I confess?
...
Nope, not now I can't do it, I'm nervous. "I'll see you tomorrow?" I told her while I look at her. She smiled at me. She really knows how to make me crazy. that's not fair Katara. "Yep, I'll see you tomorrow" She stood up and walked in the dorm. While I'm still there in daze. "I'm a sucker at her, goddamit!" I covered my face with my hands as I stood up and go back to the dorm.
I slumped down my bed and slept. It feel like seconds but when I opened my eyes it was already 9am. I shut my eyes close and covered myself in the sheets. "Zen, you awake? Don't you have practice this morning?" Zuko woke me up coming from the bath. I groaned. Why does practice starts this early morning anyway? I sat up and I know I had the face of a grown man that had a very bad day. "I felt like I just blinked through the night and when I opened my eyes it's already morning" I said coming down from my bed "Well that explains the face" Zuko chuckled. I sarcastically laughed at his statement. I didn't woke up at the right side of the bed but it also seemed I didn't even slept. I washed up and wore my clothes for practice. I grabbed my cleats and ran to the field.
I wasn't really late for practice since it starts at 9:30 and the field was just 15 minutes away from the dorm. The coach asked us to line up and reminded us about the upcoming tournament cup. He also gave us the practice schedul for today. We started with jogging around the field 70 laps. They all groaned, I would groan but I don't seem to have the energy for it. We started running after 30 laps has past, The rain falls but we still continued because there are instances you are gonna play while it is raining, it wasn't really heavy so it was okay.
3rd Pov
Katara who just woke up at the right side of the bed jumped off and looked at the time. it was 10:12am. 'Zen is practicing now' She smiled at the thought of Zen as she remembers what happened last night. She giggled here and then she saw it was raining outside. "Hey Suki? Does the soccer team still has practice?" Katara asked the girl who just came out of the bath. "Yup they still continue practicing even if it is raining. Judging from the rain it ain't really heavy so they might still be practicing." Suki looked outside the window. Katara nodded and took her towel to wash up.
Katara and Suki grabbed their umbrella and head their way to the field where they see the soccer team still running laps around the field. Hatsuki, Jiro and Zen were leading.
Katara's PoV
Don't tell me they are actually racing right now? "Are they racing? cause it looks like it" Suki asked as she sat down the bleachers. Fortunately the bleachers had roofs so the seats weren't wet. But still, are they really racing now at this weather? "I can't really understand boys, Suki" I told her as I sat down. Jiro was now taking the lead with Zen in 3rd. "Come on Zen, You're faster than this." I found myself cheering for him. Suki looked me teasingly. "Cheering for your boyfie huh" I blushed as I heard her say that Zen is my boyfie. "He's not my boyfriend.." I stuttered while thinking about it. "Says the girl who sneaked out last night after recieving a call from Zen" Suki was grinning ear to ear while I was blushing all over my face. "Let's just watch!" Why did I lashed out like that, I know there is not anything between me and Zen. But Suki telling me there is? Why is it so hot, It's raining!
"Go Zen!!" I heard my brother's voice but I pay no mind to it and watched the soccer team's top 3 players race through the field. "Hey Katara, Hi Suki! You guys watching the match between Hatsuki, Jiro and Zen?" Aang greeted us with a big smile. "Of course they are, twinkletoes" Toph interrupted in the conversation, well Toph isn't wrong about us watching them. Both of them sat behind us while my brother sat beside Suki, his girlfriend. Zuko on the otherhand sat beside Sokka. "Zen looks different than earlier at the dorm" We all looked at Zuko "You guys should have seen him. He was like a Zombie well he actually said he wasn't satisfied with his sleep and explained it like his sleep was like a blink of an eye and when he opened his eyes it was already morning." Zuko laughed remembering how Zen was this morning. I wish I could've seen it.
"Last Lap for Zen, Hatsuki and Jiro! Go guys!!" One of the managers in soccer team shouted. She was responsible for keeping track their laps I guess. At the last lap the three of them sprinted towards the line. Hatsuki was leading next Jiro then last was Zen. They were turning to the corner and Zen was getting faster each step he took. Soon he passed the two and made a huge gap. He crossed the finish line and crashed at the field. Zen lay down the ground with one fist raised. I could hear him say "Woah!..." But his panting got in the way. I'm so sure this guy would always make me worry. I sat down at my seat, I didn't even noticed I stood up. I knew all of them were staring at me, I also know Suki is dying to tease me right now.
I ignored their stares and continued on watching them practice. I saw Zen sat up at the ground and a girl came at him, it was another manager of the soccer team. She was helping him up but fell on top of Zen. I could feel myself getting irritated by this view. They were both laughing. "You okay?" Suki held my shoulder. I tried to let it go "Yep, Why wouldn't I be?" She just stared at my eyes and that stare seems to say, don't lie to me I know you're not. I just groaned "Just... Jealous?" I mumbled but was loud enough for her to hear. She put her arm around me "Don't worry, you're much better looking that her Sugarqueen" Toph suddenly came in the conversation. I didn't know she was listening to what me and Suki is saying. "Yeah but the problem is Zen doesn't even care about appearance" I hugged my legs just thinking about it stresses me out. "Seriously? he doesn't? I don't believe it" Toph leaned over to me and Suki "Let me tell you something Sugarqueen" I looked at Toph and came in closer to her "First of all, Have you seen his ex? She's very sexy." Seriously Toph? Sexy? Really?? "Secondly as far as I know Zen? I don't think that girl even stand a chance." Toph was making a point that I don't even see. "I don't get it and all this talk is just making my head hurts so let's stop it." I told them. If that girl doesn't stand a chance then what about me?
Ryuuji's PoV
I can't feel my legs, I sat up to where I stumbled down earlier. I can't move it. "Zen, get up, some players are still not done with their laps" It was Shiela, one of the top managers of our soccer team "I would do that but.. Um I can't feel nor move my legs, so I can't stand up" I smiled at her, She rolled her eyes then extended her hand. I held her hands but instead of she pulling me up. She was pulled down by me. We stayed still for a moment before bursting into laughter. "What the hell just happened Zen, I thought I'm gonna pull you up" She said while getting off of me "You gotta work on your arms shiela" I told her jokingly. She pushed me back which caught me off guard. "Haha, so funny" I sarcastically told her while sitting up again "Well that's what you get for teasing me" She stood up and ran to Jiro. She must've asked for his help to help me stand up.
"Damn Zen, you really out do yourself." Jiro pointed out at my legs "I know that's why help me stand up" I was extending my hands like a baby. He laughed "Okay okay easy there little baby Zen" I chuckled at him. "Players that are done with running laps get your asses here!" Coach shouted from the bench side. "Have you thought about how the coach always say asses?" I asked Jiro as we make our way there. "Guess he has a butt fetish" I looked at him then the coach. "Well our coach does have a big butt so I don't see why not." We were trying hard to contain our laughter so that coach won't let us run again.
"Nice work on the laps, Now I need you to practice fieldings and plays, Jiro I'm assigning you to this. Goalkeepers, I want you to block every shot that is gonna come with you! Strikers! I want you to score every chance you get! Defenders I want you to steal or block the ball from the offense. Offense give your all to carry the ball to the opponents goal! I want all of you to score not just the striker because there are times that the striker will be heavly guarded and it would up to the remaining players to score! Jiro make sure that situation will be hard to get by the opponents!" The coach instructed but sometimes I couldn't understand what he was saying. I'll just ask Jiro.
After couple of minutes have passed, we tried different kinds of plays that Jiro said. I stayed at the middle field as Jiro's instructed to save my stamina. I looked around but something caught my eye two guys were approaching Katara. Katara and Suki arrived first earlier and I saw them talking about something and making her depressed but I don't know what it is. Somehow, recently my eyes would always catch her even in a room full of crowd. It would always see her first. I don't mind it, it was much favourable for me anyway. I caught the ball and ran towards the goal. I aimed it and kicked it as hard as I can but the thing is, I didn't aimed it at the goal. I aimed it close to the guy who's now talking to Katara. I made me irritated in someway, I mean yeah I like her but we weren't together. Ugh this is frustrating.
"My bad!" I raised my hand towards them and I saw Hatsuki smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at him because I knew he knew that I didn't directed it at the goal. I ran towards them and grabbed the ball, I stopped midway. I should really do something about this. They were at the bleachers and I'm drenched in rain. How bout water? I looked at Katara who just raised her brow in confusion on why I'm looking at her. "Uh do you have wa-" Wait she might get skeptical if I asked for some water besides we have water at our bench "Zen?" Katara was the one who spoke. My nose was feeling funny that I sneezed the other way. "Ah sorry" I was about to turn around and go back to the field when a towel was placed on my head. Katara starts to wipe my hair. I looked at her "You really like taking care of people don't you?" She continues to wipe it. It was gentle and soothing. "Well yeah. I don't really like seeing people get hurt" She looks at me "Zen do you have fever?" I blinked "No, why?" She raised her brow at me and touched my forehead "You're really red and hot! Have you been playing with this fever" I knew I was blushing "No! I'm really fine. It's fine. Anyway Thanks for drying my hair" I ran back to the field with my face still flushed.
Just great, I could hear her scolding me later for doing that. "So, jealousy huh" Hatsuki was at side "shut up" still remembering what happened earlier. I looked at where the gang was and saw the guy who was talking to Katara sat beside her, It somehow gets on my nerves then I saw Katara's gaze fixated at me. I could feel her glare at this distance seems I won't be off the hook later. I gulped. Why is that guys still there? Why isn't she shoving him away. I looked again and that guy was talking to Katara. She's completely ignorning him! "En! Zen!!" I looked to Jiro who was calling my name. The next second the ball collided with my face. I was sitting in the field with my hands at my face. I looked to see if my nose began to bleed. thankfully it didn't "Dude! get your head in the game!!" Jiro told me as he helped me up. "I really do need to get my head in the game, don't I?" He patted me in the back "What's up with you today. You don't really miss an opening like that then your head wasn't wtih us after." I raised my hand "I'm fine I promise"
"Zen! That's your first warning for today! get your head in the game boy!" Coach shouted. Apparently if a player's head isn't in the game he's automatically out from the current game while if it's practice we're given 3 chances. "Yes Coach!" I slapped both of my cheeks and started to concentrate with the practice that's happening until I saw Katara on her way to the coach. This ain't gonna be good, she didn't even bother grabbing an umbrella! I grabbed an umbrella from the bench and I ran my way over to her "Hey Katara! Why are you going to the Coach?" I moved in front of her to stop her at her tracks. "Zen you have a fever and you're playing in the rain!" Great Zen for making your friend worry "I'm fine, You see?" I jumped at where I was to ensure her I'm fine "The ball collided with your face! and you tell me not to worry? Move away Zen." She wasn't taking no for an answer. "I don't have a fever and the reason why the ball collided with my face is because I was thinking about the guy who was fli-" I stopped as soon as I realize what I was gonna blurt out. 'Flirting with you' "Fli what?" Katara crossed her arms and I swear I could feel them watching the both of us. "Flipping on the top edge of the building. It was a video I saw last night and I thought it was awesome to try it next time" I told her out of the spur moment which turns into regretting my reasoning "Are you out of your mind Zen!? Flipping on the top edge of the building?! Are you serious? You do know that's dangerous and one slip may cause your life!" She drop her hands at the side with a clenched fist. Yep it's really bad. This one was much worse than before when I said I wanna feel what is it like to be in an accident. "Look, firstly let's relax and before you say anything else let me explain" I hope I can get out of this alive. She returned it to crossed arms which means she's listening. "I'm not literally going to try it at the edge of a building. I'll try it at the roof of a house" I held my hand signing I'm not done yet. "It's a roof of a one storey house and I tried it before a bunch of times." I smiled at her as I finished. I really hope she's gonna let this go.
She sighed "Let me check your temperature before you continue practicing. If you have fever I'll lock you at the health station." I nodded at her "Okay." She talked with my Coach and the Coach agreed. I followed her towards the health station. Since we don't have a gun thermometer we used an oral thermometer. I still feel her being mad at me within the seconds of waiting for it to catch my temp.
Toot toot.
I grabbed it from my mouth and handed it to Katara. She sighs again, she sighs a lot today. "37.2C, you're good to go." She wiped the thermometer with rubbing alcohol. "Thanks" I was still drenched in rain and sweat. "I should really change my shirt" I mumbled. Before I got to walk out Katara stopped me with her hand stopping at my chest "Please take care of yourself. Don't let yourself get sick or I'd die worrying about you" I chuckled "Why do you think I'm eating my vegetables even if I don't want to?" She looked at me. I smiled at her and got our of the health station. At the bench I took a shirt and looked over to the station and saw her getting out with the umbrella.
I removed my drenched shirt and wiped some of the sweat at my body. "Woah you kinda got more muscles now" I looked over and saw Shiela staring "You think so?" I looked at my body "I hardly see it" I pouted. "Well that's because you always see your body and minor changes won't appear for you." Shiela stated. "Huh. Is that so?" She nodded as I put on the shirt so I could go and practice. I ran to the field and began practicing again.
