||` Chapter 8: The truth
∆ Sam's POV
It's too cold...
I found myself on the same spot where I passed out yesterday.
I check the time and it's 3 AM
I suddenly feel sick and was about to throw up so I dash to the bathroom.
I drink too much...
I look at myself in the mirror.
"I look terrible," I said as I wash my face.
I can't come to school like this... Maybe I should order some hangover soup.

∆ Y/N's POV
I'm not feeling well AGAIN!
*Grunts* This is not good.
These past few weeks I noticed that Im always getting sick.
Sigh, maybe it's time for me to buy some vitamins.
* dizziness *Ahh, I should have stayed at home.
Lunchtime**
"Hey y/n! How are you feeling??? Look at you! You look like a zombie" Liane said as she looked at me up and down
"I'm...fi-"
I was interrupted when I heard someone shouting (with excitement)
"Hey guysss, newbie and Sam are playing soccer! "
"Really!? Omg!"
"It's so intense! Come and watch!"
The students are gathering in the field to watch.
Wait- what?
Newbie??
"Waitt bish that newbie they are talking about is Juyeon right?? Omg! Come on! We can't miss this!" Liane said and grabbed me
Wait... I thought Juyeon is a basketball player?? Did he change his sports?? And what the heck is going on? He's playing with Sam?? That doesn't sound good...
Juyeon...what the heck are you thinking!?
Time skip**
A lot of students are cheering for them.
I saw Juyeon with a weird expression.
While Sam... Oh well, he seems surprised when he saw me. But he look away quickly...
~~
I don't feel good about this.
Maybe I should ask Juyeon.
I was about to call him but my vision starts to be blurry
"Y/N are you alright??" Liane asked while checking me again " Oh Geez you're so hot!"
What? I look hot
"What are you saying I look dead right now and you still find me hot?"
"Dummy that's not what I mean!"
"Ok! It's starting!!" The student said and others start hyping up.
The team let Juyeon make the first move since he's still new.
I can't help but be worried about Sam... Is he ok? He doesn't look well...
Sam gets ready to block the ball.
~~~aches*
"Liane.."
"Hey—!"
Juyeon kick the ball hard and Sam didn't get a chance to dodge it right away (he's too distracted)
"Y/N Im freaking out right now are you ok??ill take you to the clinic if you want to "
The ball hits Sam's face causing him to fall to the ground.
"OWWWW"
"Wow"
"That looks painful."
Sam...
He shakes his head and the other soccer member approach him to check if he's alright
—— *blurry vision*
I...

"Y/N! HELP!!!"

∆ Sam's POV
*EARLIER*
I heard that we had a new trainee for our soccer club. Coach called me because he said that the trainee wants me to play with him on his tryout.
The coach will observe our game to know if he is qualified for our club.
To be honest... I don't feel like going since I already said to our coach that I'm quitting soccer.
But he insisted and told me that he will allow me after that tryout.
_____
"There he is!" The coach said while looking at me
I was confused when I saw a lot of students wants to watch us.
"It's sam vs Newbie!"
Me and who?
Newbie??
Wait it's...
"Hey, Sam, this is our trainee, Lee Juyeon, he said he's a big fan of yours," the coach said
Big fan eh? Look at him. He didn't mean it. It's so obvious.
Juyeon just smile weirdly
"This guy is pretty famous too like you, look at those girls watching him since he appears
The coach chuckles while both of us keeps staring at each other
"Ok. Let's start our tryout, Sam get ready." The coach said and leave us
Time skip**
There are too many students watching us and cheering us today even though it's just a tryout.
It's weird and it makes me uncomfortable.
I look at the students watching us and there I spot something familiar...
Nah. I must be hallucinating.
She won't be here...
Right??
"Sam" our coach called my name telling me to get ready
While I'm trying to focus
I heard someone call my name again.
'S҉am҉.'
I look around but everyone is just watching and cheering for us
Who is that?..
'S҉am҉.'
Though the cheering was loud the voice that calls me is really loud and clear.
Then I realized...
That voice. It's all in my head
"SAM BLOCK!"
Before I knew it, the ball had already hit my face.
It's not that hard but it caught me off guard so I fell to the ground
Aish. I messed up again. I shake my head.
I can hear their whispers.
I saw some of the students are laughing
Some are looking at me like Im pathetic
I can't hear the voice anymore, but I'm shaking...
Our teammates check me, feeling worried.
Juyeon moved toward me
"Oh sorry. I guess soccer is not for me. "
He scratches the back of his head like he's feeling sorry or like he didn't mean it.
Something is unusual about his actions ... Especially when it comes to me...
"Y/N! HELP!!!" I heard Liane panicking
The students look at them while Juyeon and I immediately approach them.
I was about to carry Y/N to the clinic when someone stops me.
"What do you think you are doing?." Juyeon glare at me and carry Y/N immediately
"Back off."
∆ Juyeon's POV
I run as fast as I could.
She's too light.
Is she still eating?
This dummy— what's happening.
"Where's the clinic?" I asked the student I encounter
I'm still not familiar with this school... But I need to hurry
"Oh. wait... You are the... Ah! Ehem Yes please follow me!" She said
Hm?
Oh...
It's her.
Ah, I don't care. I need to take Y/N to the clinic right away.
Finally arrived***
The school clinical nurse starts checking her
She said she faint due to her high fever. She's resting right now.
What should I do?
What happened? Should I call her mom?
No, I'm sure she wouldn't like it if I do that.
Ahh yeah, should I buy some medicines for her?
*! ! !*
What is he—
I stopped him from entering the room
"What...are you doing here.?"
"How is she?? Is she ok now?"
" I'm asking you what are you doing here?"
Sam wipes his sweats while panting
"I'm... Just concerned..."
Just concerned? After everything that you've done to her?
Huh. Really funny.
"Pft.
" Hey, we already talked about this right?" I stand up and face him
*silence *
How annoying...
"Let's talk somewhere else," I said and start to walk away
I need to say what I need to say.
This is not just appropriate.
He needs to stop confusing us especially Y/N.
————— In the school rooftop
"So... Tell me. What's your problem? After all the things you've done to her, you still have the guts to show up here?" I asked him
He still didn't say anything.
I clench my fist.
"I told you to leave her alone and stop acting like you still care for her. Argh, are you dumb or something? You need to stop right now and go to your new girl."
"I told you I didn't leave her just because—'
I interrupted him
" then why? Go on, tell me. "
He looks at me for a few minutes
I'm getting tired of his face (-_- )・・・
" Fine. It's because... I don't deserve her. All I do is make her cry and make her life miserable. She always get hurt when she's with me...."
"Do you really think... I will leave just because I love someone else?" He didn't take his eyes off of me.
"I won't do that sht."
Do you think I will believe that?
" You don't believe me right? I can see it just by looking at you... Well, what can I do? It's easy to judge me than to believe... But right now I'm telling you the truth." He paused
"Y/N means so much for me. That it's hard to let her go. I can't even forget about her. Do you really think I'm doing just fine? That leaving her is easy? Do you think...that I didn't regret all of it?" He added
" If you love her that much then why did you have to do shtty things to her?!" My emotions are mixed up right now.
"I didn't mean to—"
"You didn't mean to? D*mn stop making me laugh."
"You don't know anything so stop acting like you know the whole story."
"What!?"
For some reason what he said makes me angry.
I lose control of myself and grab him by his shirt
"Do it." He said looking at me with a blank expression
I grit my teeth while holding back.
No. I have to calm down. For Y/n...
I close my eyes and try to calm myself
" Fine... I'll leave her. Just like all of you want me to do." He said
" Think what you want to think. Believe what you want to believe." He paused while fixing his shirt and walking towards me
Don't push me to my limit Sam. I'm telling you.
"*Gasp* Man... You're right! I leave her because Im seeing someone else!"
Sam you're really...
"Happy?" He look at me coldly then walks past to me.
As he open the door, two girls suddenly
The two other girls run away while covering their faces.
Huh..
They got up and run away quickly
Suspicious...
Wait— Did they overhear what we're talking about?...
I don't feel good about this...
