August 8th: Soccer Pop Out!

The next day, I'm being interviewed by a journalist at the park. Before she can publish it to the newspapers, I told her to be anonymous. It's nothing personal, is just that I don't want to be the center of attention in the media. I'm not sure if the bus incident is a mayor top story in Japan.

"Thank you, young man, I would probably get promoted!" The journalist said, she seems happy. "I tried to talk the other passengers, but they all said that the experience was rough and scary that one passenger was unconscious and sent to the infirmary in here. Oh, wait! That's you!"

"Good luck with that." I said as she leaves.

"Hi, Kelly-san!" Soutarou walks by. "Who was that lady you've been talking to?"

"A journalist. She wanted to interview me about the accident." I said.

"What did you tell her?"

"Everything what I know from the beginning to the end. Well, not everything, I told her to be anonymous, by not mentioning my name. It was nothing, looks like she's gonna get promoted." I said.

"Kelly-san, about yesterday...," he started to blush and smiles.

"Uh-Huh..." I'm listening.

"When we came back from the beach, I saw Kouya-senpai, resting on your shoulder while you were sleeping before I waked the others. Is there a 'bonding' going on between you and him?" he said and my eyes were wide opened.

"You... saw that?" I calmly said, but I blushed.

"Yeah, I didn't mean to be so pushy, but I was curious when I saw that." He said with an innocent, redden, and smiley cheeks.

"I... don't think so... he was sleeping until he unconsciously rested on me. I tried to push him off, but no good results, and then I ended up sleeping afterwards." I explained.

"Oh, that makes sense."

"Hey, are you and Kyouji-san... dating? Because I saw you kissing him on the cheek yesterday at the beach." I said.

Soutarou blushes and smiled. "Uh, yeah, he's my boyfriend."

"How, long have you been dating him?" I asked.

"Almost a year. I'm a little shy when it come to this, but I don't hide it, Hiro-senpai and Tora-senpai are also together. We even went on a double date together."

"...okay...?" I said. No need for information.

"So, are you dating someone back home, where you're from?"

"No, I'm single." I honestly said.

"I could ask Hiroyuki and Torahiko to set you up with someone." He offered.

"No, thank you." I quickly responded to him. I don't do blind dates.

"Sou, there you are." Kyouji-san came. "Morning, Sullivan, what a surprise."

"Morning, Kyouji-san. Oh, cool! You brought a soccer ball, can I play?" I said.

"Aren't you concern about your health?" Kyouji said.

"Is only an injured arm and I don't need to use it, but still, I can't use my head to bump the ball, but anyways, I can still use my legs, oh come on."

"Well, if you say so."

"Play ball!" Soutarou cried as I stretched myself to be ready.

The only thing that I can do is not to strain myself hard or I could hurt myself. So, I'm probably going to be slow at this.

Soutarou got the ball and the game began. "Come on, Kel-san, you're slow!" Sou said. Okay seriously, who calls me 'Kel'. No one in my family calls me like that.

"I wish I could!" I said while running.

"Got it!" Kyouji got the ball from Sou.

"Hey, no fair! Senpai!" Sou cried.

I got a chance and speed up and follow the Labrador. "Surprise!" I took the ball from him.

"Whoa! Where did you come from?!" Kyouji cried.

I run to the goal and kicked the ball and... "GOOAALLL!" I cried.

"Unbelievable..." Kyouji saw my moves, I still got it!

"That was amazing, Kelly-san." Sou said.

"Thanks, another round?"

"Let's see if I can beat you." Kyouji smirked.

We played for a while and I scored 8 points, Kyouji, 7, and Soutarou, 5. But later I was losing energy and Kyouji is surpassing my score. Soutarou is more energetic than I do, he's unstoppable. I used to be all energetic, but I usually save it for other activities, but I'm now in a delicate condition that's slowing me down while playing soccer or doing exercises.

"Kelly-san, you're losing it!" Soutarou said.

"I... I... haahh... I'm tired already." I was panting. I'm tired! "Sorry, guys... haahh... I'm off!" I said as I sit on a bench and rest there.

"Are you okay, Kelly?" Kyouji asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I haven't played soccer for a while ever since the tournament was cancelled." I said.

"What's your soccer club called?" He asked.

"The Seattle's Skylanders, we won last year's tournament, but this years was cancelled with no info and I don't know why." I said.

"Well, that's seem disappointing." He said.

"Yeah, and sadly that could have been my last tournament before graduating from high school." I sighed.

"Kelly-san, were you a star pupil in your club?" Soutarou asked.

"No, my ex-coach already had a pupil and I didn't even wanted to take his place. It least I was his second favorite." I smiled. "Haahh, I'm tired." I said as I take out a bottle of water from my backpack, and have that refreshing feeling in my mouth. I sit there and watched the two playing around. Boy, I miss playing soccer, but there's nothing I can do about it.

"Kelly! Watch out!" Kyouji cried.

"Huh!" before I could react, the ball hits the bench, a few inches to spare, it bounce back and hear the tree branches rustling and now is stuck into a tree. "That can't be good." I said it in a bad feeling, and looking up at the tree holding a soccer ball.

"Aw man!" Soutarou cried.

"You kicked it hard, Sou." Kyouji said.

The three of us look up at the ball, it's not moving. The ball is 20 feet above the ground, how can we bring it down?

"Oh, that was your favorite ball, Senpai, I'm sorry." Soutarou felt guilty.

"It's alright, Sou, we'll find a way." Kyouji assured.

"What are you guys looking at?" A voice from behind us asked us, it was Juuichi-san.

"Oh, Mikazuki, my soccer ball is stuck on a tree." Kyouji explained.

"I see." Juuichi looks up and sees the ball.

"Can you get it down, Juuichi-san?" I asked him.

"Me?"

"You're the strongest beastmen I know, behind Tatsuki-san of course, and I think you can shake that tree with no problems. So, can you do it?"

He thinks for a moment and answers, "Sure, I think I can." He accepts. He steps in and stands in front of the tree and with his two large hands, put into place and shakes it. The sound of rustling and wood creaking by the force of Juuichi-san's strength, I can tell that bear-men are one of the strongest beastmen I know.

"Hey, Sullivan, can I ask you a question?" Kyouji said.

"Is it about me and Kouya on the bus yesterday?" I said it sternly at Kyouji, looks like Soutarou pasted it to him. Despite that I haven't heard Kyouji's questions.

"Um, yes." He confirmed, I repeatedly said what I said to Soutarou to Kyouji. This was getting annoying. "Oh, well then, he only fell sleep without knowing it, right?"

"Yeah." I replied.

"Come on, Juuichi-senpai! You can do it!" Sou cried.

Juuichi-san is still shaking the tree and the ball haven't fell yet. I think Juuichi is getting hot-headed...

"HYAAAHHH!" He yelled and kicked the tree and causes the leaves and branches to fall apart and also the ball. The ball falls and bumps on Juuichi's head. Kyouji, Soutarou, and me, we got covered in leaves on our clothes.

"You did it! Thank you Juuichi-senpai!" Soutarou cheered.

"Are you okay, Juuichi-san?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, is nothing." He said as he rubs his head.

"Sorry for all the trouble?" I said to him.

"Is fine, I'm glad to help. Besides, you, Takahara, and Touno, aren't strong enough to shake the tree and climbing is not a good option." He said.

"Thank you very much, Mikazuki." Kyouji thanked him.

"No problem," he replied with a slight smile, "oh, and the reason I came here, is to tell you guys that, if you're interested on August twelfth, for a karaoke party in Kazenari at night."

"A karaoke party?" I asked.

"Is this newly opened restaurant in Kazenari, it was Okamoto and Nishimura's idea for a night out party, and they've been looking forward for it." Juuichi said.

"That's sounds cool, count me in!" I said.

"Sou, would you like to come?" Kyouji asked.

"But, I can't sing." He said.

"You don't have to, is only for fun, no matter how bad you sing."

"Alright then." Sou agreed.

"So, that's all of us, remember, we're going on the twelfth day at night." Juuichi reminded us. I guess we're all going out.

A karaoke party, huh. What was the last time I been on one? Well, honestly, I've never been on the stage and sing in front of audience. My sister, Sylvia, she loves singing and she loves doing it. Her voice is so impressive, and I don't know if she wants to be a famous singer. But anyways, this could be fun!

And seriously, what's this about me and Kouya? I don't know what's on Soutarou and Kyouji's mind? Some people think the wrong way and misjudged the real version of a story. But anyways, the fellas are inviting me to go on a karaoke party! That's so cool!
