Nuichi, Chiyuri, Kenjirou, and Rosa and I had a day off for practice, since the team had school projects. I got texts from Endou, Jyou, Gina, Kidou, Gouenji, Tsuki, and Kuroi. I told them I wasn't quitting, and Kuroi even made a video call that they were traveling to Okinawa, and he told me about the technique he made, I was happy for him. 

I even told Jirou and Koujirou that I'll be back in the soccer club. And I was on the ground, literally. (Narukami just suddenly tackled me to the ground... Hmm, wonder why)

Now, the five of us were walking to the new store that opened up. We were already at the pedestrian lane, but I stayed behind because my shoelace went untied. When I was done, I was gonna cross the street but two other people went ahead of me; One of them was a girl who had black hair and skin like Reize's. She was wearing a green blouse that had a light-darkish blue ribbon, a red skirt, black leggings, and sneakers. The other person was a boy who had long hair like Aphrodi, and skin like Lee Min Ho. He was wearing a flannel and pants, and black shoes. 

I followed behind, and I was hearing their conversation too...

"Your brother Ryuuji's still upset?"

"Yeah... Clara-san's comforting him but he's not really doing anything..."

"Geez... this is getting out of hand even for dad..."

"I know... hold up, my shoelace."

"I'll meet you at the store."

The boy went on ahead as the girl was tying her shoes. I was gonna go ahead but then...

...I saw a truck heading our direction.

"Abarai!"

All I saw was after I pushed the girl, I felt a pain in one of my legs and fell unconscious....

************************************************************

"...aking up!"

"Rena! Rena!"

I groaned as I sat up, rubbing my head. I saw the two people from before, my parents and brother, Rosa, Nuichi, Chiyuri, and Kenjirou. All of them were looking at me with concern. "Urgh, what happened?"

"I'm so sorry!" The girl bowed down. "I shouldn't have tied my shoelace!"

I looked to my brother's side, and I saw my leg in a cast. 

"W-What?! I'm injured?!" I asked in disbelief.

"The doctor said the car just hit your leg. Your ligament was ripped and that your bone kinda broke." Jirou said.

"We'll pay the hospital bill," The boy said.

"We're glad you're alright..." My dad sighed in relief.

"We thought you were gonna die!" Kenjirou exclaimed.

"Genda-san! That's not something to say in front of her parents!" Nuichi said, hitting him on the head.

"You really have no tact, do you?" Chiyuri said, smirking a little. I had a feeling she might have talked with Asuka... Well she was on the phone most of the time while we were walking...

"Thank goodness though..." Rosa looked at me. "But you won't be able to play soccer..."

"When will I heal up?" I asked.

"A few weeks or so." My mom said. "I think... 10-15?"

10-15 weeks?! 

"WHAT?!"

"That's what he doctor said, sis." Jirou said. Well his leg was already healed up!

I sighed. "Well, it won't be that long, right?"
