Third Person POV . . .

           The whistle for the second half of the game was blown, and it was
tip-off for " The Barracuda" team. Both rival teams were serious about winning, that even the crowds were so focused on the game, because of the heavy atmosphere between the two teams.

        One of the members of the Barracuda dashed towards the Fire Dragons' territory at top speed, but Gazel swiftly tackled him, and passed the ball to Torch, who had no markers around him. The pass reached the red-head successfully, and he dribbled towards the defenders with a smirk on his face. He eyed his surrounding, and spotted Jane on the right side of the field, not too far to make a pass to her. The red-head kicked the ball to his teammate, and the pass was successfully connected.
" That was a perfect pass!", Jane praised her friend, while dribbling the ball past the rival team members. The Barracudas were unable to even touch the ball, and not long, until another goal was scored. Jane looked at the score bored, and smiled in satisfaction.
" We will reach the finals soon", she told herself, and took a deep breath before glancing over at Gazel, who was brushing his fingers through his soft hair. She broke her gaze, not wanting him to notice, and walked back to her position. ' This is only the beginning of the FFI ', she thought to herself, before walking to her midfield position.
" The more goals the better everyone! ", Leo shouted from the goalpost, while waving his left hand in the air, and a huge grin on his face.
" Hai!", all of the members of Fire Dragons answered at the same time, and waited of the whistle.

             " And Korea's national team scores another goal!!! The whistle is blown, and it is four nothing !", the announcer yelled into the microphone, causing the crowds to let out loud cheers. Gazel looked at the crowds with a pleased smile, before looking at the soccer ball, which lied on the floor, with a beam of light shining on it, and said, " We will make it to the finals".

            After the stunning game, all the members jumped back into the caravan, and headed back to their base. The atmosphere was jolly, everyone kept talking about the game, and how fun it was, but Gazel sat in the front with coach Lee, discussing about his upcoming surgery. Not but a few seats far, Jane evesdropped on the conversation with Leo.
" I don't think we should be doing this Jane", the blond-haired boy whispered to his curious friend, while scratching the back of his head.
" Shhhh! I want to listen! ", Jane hissed, before turning her attention to Gazel, and coach Lee.
" Nobody knows about this, right?", Gazel asked his coach, while looking at his hands, which fromed fists. Jane was easy able to tell that the silver-haired boy was worried about something, but did not interfere, and continued listening carefully.
" Don't worry boy, I am sure the surgery will turn out well", the coach reassured his nervous player, while patting his back.
" Yeah, I know that, but I don't want Jane to get all cocky", he replied, and bit his lower lip. Once Jane heard this, she slumped in her seat, and sighed heavily. Yes, she knew what surgery they were talking about, it was that huge wound Gazel gained when he was lashed with whips in Alias Academy. Leo noticed the girl pondering in her thoughts, and asked curiously,
" So what's wrong?".
" I thought you were not interested!", Jane complained,  turning her face away from her friend.
" Well now I am interested, so tell me!", Leo insisted, tugging Jane's arm like a kid, and whinning childishly. The young, teen girl finally gave in, and explained everything to Leo, from how she and Gazel became friends, till how they ended up loving each other, after know both of their secrets.
" How could you open up to a guy, and not to a girl?!", Belletrix shouted, from the seat in front of Jane, and glared daggers.
" Because you will tease me for sure!", Jane replied defensively, while pointing an accused finger at the blue-haired female.
" Maybe, you should,d stop sticking your nose into your lover's business, and let him solve his problems by himself!", Belletrix shot back, catching everyone's attention, including Gazel and coach Lee. Jane was about to protest, but she felt her throut run dry, but from the corner of her eyes, she spotted Torch smirking at her from the opposite seat facing them. The only choice for her was to make up an excuse.
" Well I did not know that managers had the right to interfere with the players private life!", she complained in a much confidant voice, and planted a small smirk on her face. Belletrix was taken aback, and slumped into her seat without saying another word. Once Jane sighed in relief, Torch walked over to her with the same mischivious smile that was on his face a few minutes ago.
" I did not know you and a rough side", he teased , while ruffling her hair. Jane shot him a death glare, but he continued teasing.
" Hey come on , don't do give me that face! I stole a kiss from you after all!",  the red-head spoke proudly, causing a few members to gasp. The young teen girl lost her nerves, and pounced at him, aiming to make him take back what he said. She grabbed his wrists, before pinning him to the ground, with her eyes digging knives into his soul, and hissed into his ear,
" Next time you say that, you will lose some teeth". As if nothing happened, Jane pulled herself off Torch, and sat in her seat again, while eyeing him suspiously.
" Your girlfriend has a scary side in the end", Belletrix whispered to Gazel from the backseat, hoping Jane did not hear her, but Gazel was not paying attention to the blue-haired girl, his eyes were locked on Torch who was pouting at Jane, even though she threatened him. He was able to feel jealously seeping through him, but he replaced those feelings with his love for soccer. Right now, he had to focuse on the Football Frontier Tournament if he wanted to accomplish his dream, but in the back of to his mind, the rage, anger, and jealousy did not leave.
