Chapter 5

Exceptional Meeting Three PM. Ramia hurriedly went to Coach Chun's office for her soccer trial. She's been anticipating this day for this day is her chance to join the boys soccer team. Everybody in her class was amazed how the sports committee allowed her to do the trials.
"... I'm eager to join, that's why," she answered.

As soon as she arrived at Coach Chun's office, she excitedly knock at his door and waited. Coach Chun opened.

"Hello, Ramia. Wait for me. I'll be there in a minute," he said and went back inside.

She sat at the bench outside his office and waited. A few minutes later, Coach Chun went out with a ball in his hand.

"Let's go," he said to her.

They walked together going to the soccer field. The sports committee are there waiting for them.

Ramia tried to calm herself down but she can't help it. She felt nervous and when she's nervous, her mind was on a blurred state.

Calm down, please. I beg you! Ramia said to herself. She breathed in and out and felt relieved. She's much better now.

"This is your chance, Ramia. Impress them," Coach Chun whispered and handed the ball. "Give me the best kick you got."

Ramia nodded and walked slowly towards the field.

Julius finished his English class and waited for his cousin. They've been invited by their grandpa to his office near their school. He's wondering what their grandpa is up to now. Then Russel came out followed by Paris.

"Hi there, pretty boy. What's up?" Paris greeted Julius with a warm smile.

Julius blushed as Paris greeted her. Oh, damn it! Why do I always felt this way towards Paris? I hate this feeling! Julius thought. "H-hi there too, sweet princess." He answered.

"Shhh! What did I tell you? Don't you ever dare call me princess!" Paris pouted which makes her more cute and appealing.

Julius and Russel laughed as they started to walk towards the exit. They will pass by the soccer field before they can reached the parking lot.

"Let's use Julius car instead of mine. I think my car needs maintainance now. I'll let the driver take it home." Russel suggested.

"I don't mind at all. I told my chauffeur to leave because I'm going with you, guys." Paris said.

"Can we have a snack before we go to yie yie? I'm still kinda hungry," Julius said.

"Sure," Paris said looking at the soccer field as they pass by.

"Okay," Russel looked at the way Paris is staring at and his eyes got bigger as the ball headed to her.

As an instict, he protected Paris and pulled her closer to him. The clueless Julius looked up and the ball went straight to his face.

"WATCH OUT!!!" the girl from the field yelled so loud but it was too late. Julius was knocked down and fainted.

"OMG!" Ramia covered her mouth as she almost whacked the face of Paris. Good thing she was saved by her knight in shining armour, Russel.

Ramia and Coach Chun ran towards them. They saw Russel and Paris stood up.

"Are you guys okay?" Coach Chun asked.

"I'm so, so, sorry! I was so hyper that I kicked the ball hard and it passed by the goal. Please, forgive me," Ramia kneeled at Russel and Paris as a sign of sincere apology.

Russel stood her up. "Hey, I'm not a God so don't do that," he said.

"We're okay so don't worry about it. I think the one you should check is Julius," Paris said and pointed at the fainted Julius.

Ramia was stunned. The guy they called Julius was bleeding! "I think you broke his nose," Russel added.

"Let's take him to the clinic," Coach Chun said and carried Julius. Paris followed them.

Ramia was still standing and didn't know what to do. She was so excited because she passed the trial but her excitement went overboard. The last kick was way out of the goal. Good thing the sports committee went out already and didn't saw her rage.

"Hey, are you okay? You looked pale," Russel tapped her shoulder.

"Uhh... I-I'm really sorry about your friend. I didn't mean to do that, I swear!" Her palm started to sweat. It's because Russel was standing next to her, so close.

"Ei! Don't apologized. It's an accident," he smiled.

Oh, my! What a smile! Ramia thought.

"I think we should check out on Julius," Russel said and held her on the elbow to take her to the clinic.

He's holding me! Ramia wanted to scream. They walked together to the clinic where Coach Chun took Julius.

As they entered the door, they saw Julius being treated by the nurse. Coach Chun went ahead because he still have practice. Julius was already awake but still dizzy. He got a broken nose.

Paris was on his side, worried. She's holding his hand and Russel saw it. Ramia automatically looked at his face. Instead of jealousy, she saw him with a teasing look.

Ramia went to the bed and stared at the guy who she hit by the ball. She wanted to burst laughing as she saw half of his face plastered with bandage.

Julius saw her and anger rose from his chest. "You think this is funny? I almost lost my face!" He snarled.

Ramia didn't like what he said. But on the contrary, it was her fault. "I'm sorry, I just can't help it."

"You can't help but to laugh at the person you almost left half dead because of your iron feet?" Julius was angry. His nose was broken and he thinks that his brain turn upside down.

"I'm sorry," she said her head down. Ramia was starting to get pissed off because of his nonstop whining.

"Sorry yourself! I won't allow this kind of humiliation. I almost lose my face and---" Julius was interrupted by Ramia's rage.

"I said I'm sorry!!! What else do you want? If you wanted to get paid for the damage I've cause you, wait until I finished selling the noodle soups that my dad and mom created. Stop whining like a baby! Doesn't suit you at all. Jeez!" Ramia breathed after. Russel and Paris laughed.

"Now, I'm a baby?! A baby?! Well, why don't you get a broken nose and then I tell you to stop whining? What will you say to me?" Julius didn't stop.

"Ahhh..." Ramia think for a while. "Get lost and go to hell?"

"Yeah, That's right. So get lost and go to hell!" Julius yelled.

Ramia was about to answer back but her phone rang. She answered it.

"Wei?"

"Ramia, come home quickly. I've got an important announcement to make. Your presence is a must," her mom told over the phone.

"Alright. I'll be there shortly." She closed the phone and looked at Paris and Russel without looking at Julius. "Again, I'm sorry for the trouble. Promise I'll make it up to you guys. I have to go. Tell that jerk that I'm sorry," Ramia shouted enough for Julius to hear.

"I heard you," Julius said.

"Whatever, creep!" Ramia walked out of the clinic without looking back.
