"Ahh, Dammit my head hurts." I said, sitting up.
*What happened?* I thought, looking around.
I was in my room all alone. There was a glass of water on the table beside my bed and a pack of drugs.
"Ouch." I said, holding unto the sheets.
*My tummy hurts too,' I thought, trying to stand.
"Oh, Atsushi-kun, you're awake." Suzune said, walking towards me.
She sat on my bed and looked away while swinging her legs.
"How're you feeling now?" She asked without looking at me.
"Oh, am good." I said, lying back on the bed.
"Okay, I'll go get something for you to eat." She said, standing up.
"What about the others?"
"They're in the sitting room. Any problem?"
"Not really." I said, closing my eyes.
"Atsu…!!" Akatsuki called running into my room and jumping on me.
"Ouch!!"
"Hey, he just woke up." Koenji said, dragging him out.
"Oh, am really sorry." He said, standing up. "You fainted immediately after the game. Why didn't you tell us that you weren't feeling well?" He asked, sitting beside me.
"Am sorry." I said, sitting up.
"Don't worry about it, we just hope you're doing well." Yusuke said.
"Thanks guys. Sorry for causing trouble." I said as they smiled.
"Come on, get better soon." Kimishita said.
"K."
"We'll be out soon, see you later." Tanaka said, smiling before walking out with the others.
*Ahh… Dammit, am weak." I thought.
"Here." Suzune said, dropping a plate of curry rice on the table.
"Thanks a lot." I said as she smiled.
"Please take the drug." She said before walking out.
"K"
*I wonder where they're all going to.* I thought before grabbing the spoon she set aside for me.
"It's delicious." I said after taking one spoon.
"Huh? Why the hell are you out training?" Akatsuki asked, running towards me.
"Oh, Akatsuki." I called shooting the ball into the net.
"Argh, aren't you meant to be in bed?" Ryuto asked as they walked towards me.
"Am better, as you can see." I said, smiling.
"Guys, restrain him!!!" Tanaka shouted as they ran towards me.
"Huh? Wait a min…"
We kept running around the field till they surrounded me.
"There's nowhere to run anymore." Koenji said as they walked closer to me.
"S-s-stop." I said, looking around.
*There.* I thought, sliding in-between there hand.
"Hey, he escaped." Kimishita said as they kept running after me.
"Haha, you won't get me." I said, still running with my eyes closed.
"Ouch." I said, opening my eyes.
"Eek!!" Chika shouted playfully as the guys pounced on me, making us fall.
"We got him." Yusuke said as they put my hands at my back.
"Looks like you're alright now." Misaki said, folding her hands.
"Seriously, we were worried over nothing."Suzune said.
"Alright, alright, I am sorry, now let me go." I pleaded as they all laughed.
"We came to train. Would you mind joining us?" Tanaka asked, smiling as they released me.
"Sure, as you can see, I am back to normal." I said, flexing my muscles.
"The fact that you can run around and all is good but give it a rest today, you can join us tomorrow." Misaki said.
"Aw, come on." I said.
"Just go in, please."
"Yeah yeah." I said, walking out.
*Dammit, am so bored.* I thought walking inside the dorm.
"Oshiba-kun." The coach called.
"Sir."
"Go relax, okay?" He said, smiling as my shoulder fell.
"Yeah, I know."
I stayed on my bed for some time before I fell asleep.
By the time I woke up, it was already 6.
"Where are the others?" I asked no one in particular as I walked down the stairs.
No one was in the field, and the equipment in the field was already removed.
*Hmm, where could they have gone?* I thought, walking back inside to check their rooms.
*Maybe they went to buy some stuff.* I thought going to the training room.
I picked up the dumbells and began lifting them. Then I did some press-up and then chin-up.
*They sure are taking their time.* I thought, looking at my wristwatch.
I grabbed a bottle of water and gulped it down before walking to the field.
*My hair's getting too long. Maybe I'll change to an undercut.*
I brought the ball and dummies out, I set them, and began playing.
I practised running, dribbling, shooting, and passing.
*Hmm?* I thought when I heard the sound of a bus pulling up.
"Guys, let's be quiet to avoid waking him." Akatsuki said.
*Hmm…* I thought, walking in the direction of the bus.
"Why are…"
"Eek!!!!!!" Akatsuki shouted before I could finish speaking.
"What the hell?"
"Oh, nothing. We just went to buy some stuff. Let's go in, guys, haha haha."Tanaka said as the others nodded before walking behind him.
"Not so fast."I said, grabbing his hand.
"What's going on?" I asked as they smiled.
"Heh…? Looks like you guys had lots of fun today."I said, smiling.
"Yeah, but it ended in 3-2. Sorry we couldn't score more goals." Akatsuki said.
"Seems like Team J is really strong. Well, it's no big deal. You guys still won them." I said as they smiled.
"Yeah!" Ryuto shouted.
"Damn it was really tight."
"Mm-hm. "
"But still you guys should have at least informed me."
"It's not like you'd agree to stay back if we told you to." Misaki said.
"Huh? How'd you do today?"I asked her with a smug look.
"Oh my God, she did well as a defender. I couldn't believe the way she tackled." Akatsuki said.
"Shut up."She said as her face turned red.
"Haha. So… tell me how they were."
