???: Rin! Pass!

It was the final game that could determine which school went nationals. The Score was tied 3-3. Rin Itoshi had the ball and looked over at the kid who yelled at him to pass the ball. But he disregarded him, looking to his far left to see Riku, one of the teams star players besides Rin expertly weaving through the players. Without hesitation, Rin sikes an opponent out using his left foot, acting as it he would score the goal, only to pass with his right. A direct pass.. To Riku.

Riku: Thanks.. Rin..

He places his foot on the ball, rolling it back taking a shot. But instead of it going in, it curved. Back to Rin, who sets up for the goal. As Rin takes the shot, it gets caught and miraculously, as the goalie sets up to kick, he ends up putting too much power into the kick, sending it to their goal as one player there kicks it in. The time runs out after, and the game ends 3-4.

Rin: DAMNIT!

Riku: We almost had that.. We almost made nationals..

Riku takes a couple of heavy breaths, looking over at rin before walking up to him

Riku: Hey.. if it wasn't for us two, we wouldn't have had those 3 goals to begin with. Should be proud..

Rin: It's not enough.. I can't beat him at this rate!

Riku: Sae..

Rin: I need to prove myself and overcome him. That bastard..

Riku: What did he do that you have this.. hate for him

Rin: He promised me we would both become the best strikers together. Then as you know, he left to play in Spain.

Riku: Oh..

The boys begin to walk home together, before splitting and going separate ways. Once home, Riku's parents gave him a letter, inviting him to take part of a project. Only time would tell, if Rin was also chosen.
