A Unique Crossover

Chapter43: Igniting Hope

"Alright, a grilled chicken salad without the roasted almonds and a glass of passion tea lemonade." The waiter placed in front of me with a wide smile, letting his dimple be the star of the show.

Setting the plate and glass down in this way that he was showing off his gentleman skills of treating a pretty lady which I gave him a sweet smile to be nice. "If there's anything else, let me know."

Nodding my head with the same smile as I said sweetly, "Thank you."

When he walked away, I sighed deeply in relief that I finally get something to eat. After the meeting with Julia and Mrs Robertson, I jumped into my car, drove to the park close to my home. Went to the spot that belongs to me and my family, where I still play soccer with Raymond and his friends on most Sunday mornings.
Training with myself harder and more than an hour.

Drowning everything, all of the bad things with both albums and single music from Alessia Cara, letting her beautiful masterpieces to cheer me up in the best way that she knows how.

Wearing a black and white fan T-shirt of hers to bring even more joy along with her music from the duffle bag that I've kept in my car that has new clothes in.

Before doing some night work at the Book shop and then went to this Dine that I haven't noticed across the road. Being stubborn and hard headed to cry when my body was practically begging me to let the waterworks come out.
Especially when I had to block fifteen random guys' cell numbers who either calls or message me about hooking up with them.

I still want to know who linked my actual phone number to those guys if I haven't joined the team's chat group. My phone was off when I was training on my own, not wanting anyone to talk to me as I work off everything that has happened to me today.

Wanting to forget this day while getting ready for the game that the team's still playing which I was still debuting if I actually want to play. This was something that never happened to me before, sure there were a couple of days when me and some of my teammates from high school would knock heads with each other, but none of those times has caused me not being in the mood to play soccer.

We would argue for a moment before we work things out and then we would step onto the field as one.
No bad blood, no fake friends, none of the things that I have to face with in KAU Knights.

I don't even want to talk to any of those guys who aren't my real friends who include David, whom I'm questioning if he would have treated me this way if I wasn't part of the team?
If he would just turn his back on me, if Ivan had made the edited picture of me before joining the team?

The girls called me many of times, although Penny broke the record out of them all with sixteen miss calls from her.
On the seventeenth one, I finally answered the phone and assured her and everyone else who was listening on speaker that I was fine and that I'll see them soon.

Luckily David wasn't in the room at the time which I was grateful for. Believe it or not, but he beat Penny's record of miss calls by having twenty four of them.
Wanting me to answer the phone at either one of them. No messages from him.

None that's recent since last night when he reminded me about tonight's game starts at seven thirty before wishing me good night. That message seem like it was sent years ago now.

I still felt numb and stillness after the blow up between me and David, still feeling very angry towards him and everything that he had said.
The fact that he hasn't and wasn't going to do anything to help me feel more part of the team or change their mind about me.
That I haven't joined the team in any sexual way, that him and his Uncle let me join, because of my skills and only that.
