"I'm" pants, "so", pants, "tired!" Hyunjin spoke with breathy whines, "Jiwoo how are you not tired?"
"i have to defeat Ha Sooyoung at this week's game, so in order for that to happen I need to get stronger" Jiwoo pumped her fist in the air as she suddenly switched from a light jog to a hard sprint. From a distance you could see the gap between Jiwoo and her teammates who looked like their legs were gonna break any second now.
Seeing as they've ran about 5 miles now, their coach had blew the whistle indicating that they could stop. As soon as the girls heard the whistle they all dropped to the ground while Jiwoo stood above them all, with her arms over her head.
"guys as your captain I think we can defeat our long term rivals ,Han River Academy, with a little confidence! We got this!" Jiwoo cheered trying to get the girls in an enthusiastic mood, but they all looked beat.

As Jiwoo was entering her house she saw a familiar face next door. Ha Sooyoung, her rival and her neighbor, despite the two girls living next to each other their families sent them both to two different schools ever since they were four.
"Hey Jiwoo!" Sooyoung ran across their lawns and met Jiwoo at her door step, "hey I wanted to compliment you on your guys' win last week, but prepare for a beat down this week" she nudged Jiwoo's arm in a joking way causing both of the girls to laugh.
"oh you wish Ha" Jiwoo responded.
"that's actually not why I came over here though, erm I was wondering", Sooyoung rubbed the back of her neck while looking at everything but Jiwoo, "ever since we went to the Bahamas together for vacation...and ever since we kissed there I can't stop thinking about you, and not like as a friend either." Sooyoung confessed leaving Jiwoo speechless.
"is this your way of saying you like me Ha Sooyoung?" Jiwoo teased and giggled as she saw a blush form on the taller girl's face.
"huh! I- hey! I mean...do you feel the same way?" Sooyoung stuttered, "it's okay if you don't I'll actually leave now" as she turned around to walk off the porch Jiwoo pulled her in for a back hug causing Sooyoung to freeze on the spot.
"so does this mean we're girlfriend's?" Sooyoung questioned earning a light chuckle from Jiwoo.
After our victory, I rushed home, eager to see Sooyoung. I was afraid she got hurt or something happened because even after any other loss she's never this pissed off.
I pulled into my driveway, shutting the car off before grabbing my bags and sprinting into the house despite my lack of energy. "You played good out there kiddo!" My dad complimented me as he stood in the kitchen washing dishes while my mom sat at the table helping my younger sister, Yeojin, with her homework.
"thanks dad, can I go to Sooyoung's house?" I questioned standing by the door. He looked at me and then at his watch.
"at 10:30pm?" He cocked a brow.
"I have to talk to her please?" I curled my lip in giving him a pouty face while mumbling a few 'pleases'
"alright just be back in time to do your homework" he stated sternly.
I happily pranced out of the house and across the lawn over to Sooyoung's house seeing as her parents weren't home, but her car was. I rang the doorbell, whilst listening to her dog bark at the sound.
"sooyoungah~ it's me!" I shouted. I found myself standing at the door for another five minutes before I gave up and called her, but was immediately sent to voicemail. I then tried calling again and leaving a few text but nothing.
"maybe she's asleep" I thought to myself. I just hope she's alright.

Meanwhile, Sooyoung was at a friend's house who was having a little get together that soon turned into a party as everyone kept bringing guest. She stood in the kitchen drinking a cup of water because she didn't want to taint her reputation by drinking alcohol or doing drugs as the captain of the varsity soccer team.
"hey Sooyoung!" Mark, the star quarterback, called out walking up to her with another girl hooked into his arm. "Meet my friend Jamie", he introduced her to a petite girl who had nothing on Jiwoo. She had a shit ton of makeup on making her look like a clown, and her breath reeked of cigarettes causing Sooyoung's face to internally frown. "Keep her company for me while I go play with the guys" he said patting Sooyoung on the back and leaving her alone in the kitchen with a random chick.
"So you're the famous soccer player, huh?" Jamie asked flirtatiously. She ran her fingers up and down Sooyoung's arm causing Sooyoung to tense up uncomfortably and back away.
"haha yeah....I guess so" she replied dryly while sipping her water some more.
"why don't you have a real drink" the obnoxiously drunk girl offered, holding up a big bottle of alcohol that looked very expensive but also very gross.
Sooyoung shook her head no, "I'll pass." The woman didn't take no for an answer. She placed her hands on Sooyoung's chest pulling herself closer connecting their lips.
Before Sooyoung could react properly, she yanked herself away wiping the kids away. Her brows furrowed in anger, "what the fuck are you doing?!" She spat angrily. The woman just smirked before walking away leaving Sooyoung confused and furious in the kitchen.
