Chapter 6:

Tension between girls

Handball & Heartbeats


Sunday

Ken left the house to take Ella to the girls game, which will take place before the boys game. The girls game will be against the best team from last year so it will be a hard game.

"Are you ready Ella?" said Ken with a worried face.
Ella look at him with a sad face "I probably won't play, I think the coach doesn't like me".
"Why do you think that?" Ken tries to comfort her with a pat on the shoulder.
"I don't maybe because she said that I'm not a team player!" says Ella as she takes Ken's hand off her shoulder, "And why are you worried about me? Weren't you upset with me?".

Ella quickens her pace before Ken can say anything. 
Ken ignored it, turned on his phone and sent a message to Ryo.

In messages
Ken "What's up bro?"
Ryo "Getting ready, how about you?"
Ken "My mom made me go watch Ella's game and she runaway from me, do you want to come with me?"
Ryo "Yeah sure bro, came to my house. Then we go"
Ken "Alright, I'm already arriving"

While Ken was heading to Ryo's house, Akane was going to the game alone and saw Ella walking quickly.
"Ella!!" said Akane yelling.
Ella got scarred and responded dryly to Akane "Hi Akane".
"Sorry, for you it's Nakamura. Don't call me Akane again" said Akane with an upset face.
"Ok sorry Nakam..." - Ella.
"So where's Ken?" interrupted her and asked while looking around.
"He isn't wi-with me, can't yo-you see" She took a while to speak because of the language difficulties.
"He-he isn-isn't wi-with... learn how to speak" Akane makes fun of her.
Ella gives her the middle finger
Akane freaked out and started going towards Ella but since they were already close to the gym, her teammates didn't let her.

The girls on the other team laughed at them "This is going to be so easy" - several girls laughing.

Coach reach to them "See Ella, you only do crap. You'll be lucky if you even enter the game"
Ella gets upset and goes into the gym.

Moments later before the game begin

Ken and Ryo reach the gym
"Oh, let's go the game is about to start" said Ryo excited.
"Yeah, just say you want to watch Natsume play" laughed at the face Ryo made, "Okay bro, come on" giggle on his back.
