Sofia's POV

"I want you to join the Soccer club, and be its manager." Natsumi demanded.

what?

 I gave her a deadpanned face.  

The Soccer Club was shocked on her action while Gouenji sweatdropped. 

So, she called me here just order me to join the soccer club? what the fuck?

"Eh? I have already have a club."

"From now on, Dance club is your secondary club. Your main club will be the Soccer Club"

"You can't do that. Leo didn't agree--"

"He said it's fine, your dancing skills are excellent. You just need to attend twice a week." She confidently said. 

I gripped on my skirt and force myself to smile, to hide how displeased I am...

And how I am getting pissed off, of course. 

She is praising and acknowledging my dancing skills, I am happy about that. But, stopping a person from what she loves to do? She should mind her own business.

I mean, sure, I like soccer but my passion is dancing. It's not like I'm the one playing in the soccer field. Also, I'm hiding from someone and that someone, is connected to soccer. 

But of course, I won't just back off, and obediently comply such demand of the school's student body president. 

"Ara, you're that desperate? Using your own position? Even using your last name to your advantage? Just because you're the daughter of the Chairman of the school, you're abusing your own authority for your own selfishness, I see. What an impartial president, not." 

I bantered, provoking her with a mocking smirk. I stepped closer, and pushed my face forward for every emphasized words I said. Because, I know. I know it would strike where it would hurt most. Our faces were an inch apart. I shadowed her face, and smiled mockingly.

 Natsumi got flustered at the close proximity. She pushed me with her little strength and stepped back immediately.

"You can't refuse the Chairman's decision." She answered and looked away. I gave her a smug smile and folded my arms. Endou stepped in to our conversation and tapped our shoulders.

"Calm down, both of you are making the people here tense." He said as he tried to dissuade as from arguing further, gesturing that someone else is here.

I looked there, and they were looking at the situation, not knowing what to do. As we made eye contact, he shivered.

I swatted Endou's hand from my shoulders. Endou sighed and backed off.

"Well, let me introduce, this is Domon Asuka! He will  be joining the soccer club." He introduced the male student beside him. A tall student with spiky cyan hair, tanned skin and small black eyes. I smirked because of his unique, familiar features. I put my right hand to his shoulder. 

"Welcome to the club!" I said a little cheerfully. I tipped my toes to reach his ear and whispered. "Kidou's watchdog~" He tensed up but he gave a smile. "Thank you, I guess..." He said as I chuckled. I put a distance between us, and went to my original position.

 Natsumi coughed to get the people's attention. 

"Today, Supana - san will be your manager. I hope everyone will cooperate with her." She announced to the team. She grabbed something on her side and gave me a paper bag. I got the bag and opened it. It's  a cream colored shirt, an eggplant colored ribbon and pleated skirt with the same color of my ribbon. "I hope the next day, you will wear this uniform. You're going to study here, at Raimon." She stated, it seems like she doesn't want to give me a choice. 

"I'll think about it~" I answered with a teasing tone. Natsumi sighed and folded her arms. The uniform is not that bad, it's cute but the skirt is a bit too short for me. Luckily, I brought a black knee high socks. "Hehh, it's cute, maybe I'll try it on today, who knows." with that said, I left the club room.

"Wear your track suit!"

"I don't have one and I don't want to!" 

I went to the girl's bathroom and changed my clothes Natsumi gave to me. I looked at the mirror to see my new uniform, It's nice and comfortable, also it's well - fitted unlike my old uniform it's a bit tight. Hm?  How did she know my size? I think it's time that I should accept the fact that I'm studying at Raimon, not like I was given any choice. 

I fixed my appearance as I hummed. This goes here, and the- 

Ring. Ring.

My humming was interrupted as a particular ringtone resounded in the room.

 I picked up my phone, and answered the call.

'Sofia, Come to Teikoku.'

beep.

end of phone call.

I guess it's time for another job.

I sighed as I picked up my bag and went to the soccer club. I felt the team  staring at me as I walked to Gouenji. Is this their first time seeing a cute girl, or I don't suit this uniform because of my character? He gave me a teasing look while smirking.

"You seriously wore that? Are you sick or did something hit your head? Are you really the Supana Sofia?"

"Haha, you're so funny, you cold jerk."

"You're terrifyingly cute. If Yuukoku is here, he surely would tease you a lot" He said as he looked at the team, continuing warm ups and stretches on the field. I blushed a bit and giggled lowly, he rarely gave me a compliment. Most of the time, a smile and a thumbs, or a pat in the he does, he's no that good with words.

"My uncle called me, I'm going now" I said as he removed his jacket. He put the both side of his clothe on my shoulders. I smiled and walked out of the school. Natsumi would fume at me from leaving in the middle of practice and would stop me, but I'm sure Gouenji could handle it.

I headed towards the gate. 

As I got to the gate, I saw Domo. He was running and stopped towards an electric post, he seemed to be talking to someone. I can't use my telepathy,seeing as the distance is more than my 20 meter limit. 

Someone, maybe from the team, called back Domo. He turned back, and saw me standing by the gates, smirking. He tensed, but gave a smile back at me. He ran back inside the school.

I sprint towards the post, curious to who he was talking to.

And there he was in his glory.

It was the captain of Teikoku Soccer Club.

It's Kidou.

The guy was trying to hide from.

Great.

Our eyes locked as soon as they met.

If someone were to witness this scene, we would look like someone who had seen a ghost.

Unable to utter a word, we both continued to stare at each other.

Soon enough, I cleared my throat to break the building tension. I smirked at him, showing my cocky bitch side, to overcome my anxiety and fear that looms over at the back of my head.

He looked away, breaking the eye contact. Maybe because I caught him in action.

"Are you going to tell them about what you witnessed here?"

"Nope. Why would I ruin a perfectly good chance of seeing something fun and exciting?"

"You do know that not telling them is considered a betrayal for your own team?"

 "Well, I want them to realize that choosing me on their team is not exactly the right decision~"

Pause.

 A few seconds passed, we were still standing, if anyone were to see from the school, they would think I am staring, or even talking to a utility post.

I felt my chest began to tighten, my breaths becoming shorter and more shallow.

Okay.

I need to calm down, and chill out. If not, I'll be consumed by my fear.

Breath in, breath out.

sigh.

I'm okay now, I let out a chuckle.

He continued to stare at me, and sent me a questionable look, seemingly unable to gauge any information of me.

"We should go now. Commander Kageyama will be mad at us" I said as I walked forward. He slowly recovered from the situation earlier and followed me.

Is it time to face what I the fears that I have always avoided?

or

Should I run away, away from my fears, to finally have the peace I seek?
