Hisa quietly watched the sky hoping for an answer to her dilemma. But she knew that wouldn’t help. She glanced toward the school and saw Suchi walking towards her.
“Good evening Hisa.” Suchi greeted.
“Hey Suchi. What are you doing here?” Hisa asked looking back at the night sky.
“Technically I could ask you the same thing. But that’s not why I came over. I was actually wondering if I could practice with you.” Suchi stated holding out her hand.
A gentle smile spread across Hisa’s lips. “Of course. I need someone to give me some practice in goal anyways.”
Hisa sat up and took Suchi’s hand and stood up.
“So Hisa…” Suchi started kicking the ball toward the upper left of the hand corner of the net.
“What?” She asked jumping to grab the ball.
Even though she was 5’2” she could jump.
“I’m thinking about trying out for a captain’s possession. Why don’t you try out too?” Suchi suggested.
Hisa rolled the ball back. “Go ahead. I’m not going to try out.”
“Well why not?” She asked kicking the ball from the top of the eighteen.
The ball skid across the ground and Hisa dove in front and stopped the ball.
“It’s too troublesome. At least for me it is. I really don’t like having all that pressure on me. Also I think it gives someone too much power over the rest of the group. That’s why I’d rather be co captains with someone.” Hisa explained as they kept practicing.
“That’s interesting. I didn’t know that about you Hisa.” Suchi stated placing the ball on the corner of the eighteen.
‘What was that? It felt like someone spiritual pressure, but it vanished so quickly I couldn’t tell who it was.’ Hisa thought losing concentration.
“HISA LOOK OUT!” Suchi shouted as the ball went rocketing towards Hisa’s head.
It was to late the ball hit Hisa in the side of the head. The ball deflected up over the net and bounced behind it.
“Hisa are you alright?” Suchi questioned running over to her.
Hisa burst out laughing “Yea I’m fine it didn’t even hurt it just socked me is all.”
“But that was whistling.”
“I know.”
“How can you be so calm about it?”
“Well I guess that’s just how I am. It’s not the first time that’s happened.” Hisa laughed.
“Maybe we should call it a night?” Suchi sighed.
“Good idea.” Hisa agreed.
And they started heading back to the dorms. Suchi’s was on one end of the building and Hisa’s was on the other so Hisa walked with Suchi to her dorm and then started toward hers.
