One dreary October afternoon while at hockey practice Trevor was hitting slap shots at an empty goal. He was just about to start his warm down when he realised he was alone on the pitch. He was often the last to leave so this was not unusual. He knew his coach would be back in about 20 minutes to lock up the pitches and put away the rest of the equipment that Trevor was still using. Without thinking he slapped the ball so hard that it sounded like thunder when the ball collided with his stick, the ball took off into the distance. Trevor cursed under his breath, threw his stick to the ground and started to jog in the direction the ball went.
Daniel was in the school garden tending to the garden and installing the new wildlife boxes he had built in technology. He had his earphones in and was listening to his music when out of nowhere he felt the earth shake beneath him. Daniel jumped up, pulled out his earphones and turned to see a massive crater in the ground about a metre behind where he was knelt. He went over to the new hole in his garden to investigate and pulled a hockey ball out of it. He looked around expecting people to be nearby with hockey sticks, but no one was around. Daniel was drawn from his thoughts by someone calling out nearby.
Trevor saw a small kid in the school garden holding his hockey ball, and looking around.
“Shit, he’s going to know that the ball came from me at the hockey pitches” Trevor said to himself.
Trevor jogged over to the garden calling out.
“Hey, sorry about that. Are you okay?” Trevor called Daniel.
Trevor hopped over the fence and walked over to Daniel who was still holding the ball in front of him with a confused look on his face. Trevor stopped and stood in front of Daniel and looked down at the ball that was between them.
“I’m Daniel, Where did this come from?” Daniel asked, looking up from the ball to meet Trevor's eyes.
“I was just over there,” Trevor said, pointing in a vague direction in the rough area of the hockey pitch, hoping Daniel didn’t ask anymore questions.
The two stood for a couple of seconds with the ball between them before Trevor put his hand over the ball to take it off of Daniel.
“I'll come back soon and fix the hole that my ball left,” Trevor said.
“It's fine you don't have to I can fix it, it won't take me long” Daniel said
“I made a mess and I always clean up my messes” Trevor said with a small smirk. “I really do have to get going back to finish practice but I will be back soon”
Trevor jumped the fence and jogged back the way he came.
Daniel stood for a few seconds watching as Trevor disappeared around the corner. Daniel stood and thought “was he at the hockey pitch, how did he hit the ball all of that way?”
