C10 First Kiss
“We need to win this.” Miya worriedly said to Ina.
She eagerly stood up, grinned fully with positivity and enthusiasm to her with the banner.
“Ina, a little help her?” She added.
There was a loud whooping and cheering after we came back with our designated positions in the field. All the people watching the felt extreme excitement, while we the players were all getting serious also.
All of our eyes and mind were completely vigilant as the game was getting even more intense and interesting.
“Down…! Set…!”
(Whistle blows)
This time, the ball was thrown upward. Everyone was patiently waiting for the ball to fall, while I, on the other hand, immediately jumped as higher as possible which was truly impossible for an ordinary man could do.
Everyone who was eagerly watching the game immediately dropped their jaws to the ground where the entire oval was put into deep silence after witnessing the impossibility.
I swiftly ran towards the opponent’s goal after catching the ball and outperformed every opponent’s player who dared to block my way with my outstanding speed, agility, and strength.
And I scored.
Form a bridge of silence turns into a loud of whooping and cheering, especially for my mom who couldn’t believe how well I am in the field, Kevin and Ina. They were all completely in disbelief.
“To Mcwell! Pass the ball to Mcwell!” Coach Brown shouted enthusiastically and ordered my allies for the change of plan.
Our co-players who were setting on the bench also enthusiastically supported our Coach from clapping that made Roger completely anxious by them.
He felt more furious this time but he can’t help himself at the moment but to listen to their cheering and whooping for me.
At this point, the score was break-even, 6-6, and the remaining time was only ten seconds to make a goal to win the game.
Though the time was too short, still, there would be a lot of things to happen inside the game within that time period.
“Down…! Set…!”
(Whistle blows)
Unfortunately, the opponents got the ball this time. I immediately ran and block and steal the player who got the ball. To my surprise, he felt completely terrified and was taken aback. Instead, he freely passes the ball to me.
Coach Brown immediately sat beside Kevin on the bench in this belief while Kevin kept biting his gloves the whole time of the game.
“Did the opposing team just deliberately pass the ball to Mcwell? Coach Brown curiously asked.
“Yes, I believe so, Coach!” Kevin replied as his legs were both restless while twitching.
“Interesting”
After the ball was secured into my stick, I vigorously ran to the opponent’s goal and I scored.
My mom couldn’t actually believe everything in the game as the ball tore the goalie's net of his stick after I speedily throw towards him.
“There you go, Mcwell! Good job!” Coach shouted.
The opponent’s Coach argued with the referee and our coach for the unjustifiable score.
The referee confirmed it was a score, so, the opponent’s Coach has left no choice but to play the over-time of the game.
“Dude, what the hell is up with your teammate, man? What is he on?” The opponent player curiously asked Roger.
Roger deeply sighed.
“I don’t know, yet!”
“Okay, Set…! Down…! Check…!”
(Whistle blows)
This time, I got the ball. Everyone in front of me felt anxious and terrified and totally frozen. They all just watching and waiting for my next move.
My vision at the moment is quite different from my normal one. Needless to say, I am still growling. Thanks to the helmet, it would be difficult for them to identify my current phase in my body right now with a fang and claw.
“You can do it, Clark. I know you can do it! Win the game.”
I can clearly hear the echoing from Ina’s words. I don’t know how, but my body suddenly felt relaxed after hearing her voice.
Several players from my opponents were enjoying the moment as I am not moving at all while the time is ticking. When the countdown reaches five seconds, I throw the ball speedily.
And I scored.
Everyone was jumping in cheerfulness for winning our first game. As they were all befuddled, I took the opportunity to hide.
I immediately took off my gloves and ran to the team’s locker room. Ina wanted to congratulate me, so, she eagerly followed heading to the school.
I was totally panting and hard to breathe and needed to release some steam, so I broke the glass in the shower room.
When I heard Ina calling my name, I climb to the ceiling so she could not see me in my current phase. I can completely see her from where I am hiding.
“Clark, where are you?” Ina softly mumbled.
She looks all over the place and didn’t find my whereabouts so I descended from the ceiling and went to the shower and face up to the wall calming myself.
There she found me.
“Clark, are you okay? You scared me.” She patted my back.
“Yeah, sorry! I just got a little lightheaded for a sec.” I replied.
“Maybe it’s the adrenaline. You were pretty amazing out there, Clark. Congratulations!” She grinned.
“I’m sorry for acting really weird today.”
“It’s okay; I can totally handle weird people.”
She rolled her eyes and grinned at me in a seducing kind of way.
“To be totally honest, you, uh, make me feel kind of nervous.”
“I do?”
This time, I chose to get closer and closer to her.
“Yeah, sort of, like really, really nervous.”
She giggled.
“I just wanna make sure I get my second chance.”
She looked closely into my eyes and twirls her hair with her fingers.
She stepped a few steps from me.
“You already have it. I am just waiting for you to take it.” She babyishly replied.
“Well, maybe I need to learn to take more chances.”
“Maybe, you do.”
I then grabbed her waist towards my body and our eyes met closely and I gently touched her cheek and we kissed.
Kevin, on the other hand, just arrived at the place and saw me kissing Ina and immediately hid.
Ina was giggling after her lips removed from mine' and grinned.
“Umm, I gotta get back to my dad.” She mumbled.
I simply nodded to her and she kissed my cheek.
“See you later at the dinner, Clark!”
Yeah. I almost forgot we still have our dinner with his family after the game. Ina went out of the boy’s locker room afterward.
I came towards Kevin when I saw him in the room, smiling.
“I kissed her.”
“I know. I saw it.”
“She kissed me.”
“Saw that too. Seems pretty good, huh?”
“I don’t know how, but I controlled it. The shifting? I pulled it back inside me.
I stammered and slowly heading out.
“Maybe, I can do this. Maybe it is not that bad, after all.” I added.
I sighed in disbelief.
“But, what do I do? Draku invited me to their house for dinner.”
“What? Wait; let me guess, you said yes because of Ina!”
“Ah-huh!”
“So what’s the plan? You should have a backup. Maybe I should come with you and bring some wolfsbane. How does it sound?”
I earnestly looked at Kevin.
“Okay, okay. Bad idea.”
We then went outside.
“I should probably tell Ina about me being a wolf and ask her if she’s a wolf too.”
“That’s not one of your priorities right now. Right now, is to have a better backup plan in case Draku and his men attack you.”
Kevin shrugged me and went out to the car and went home.
Before I dropped Kevin, I grabbed him as I knew something is bothering him since we were in the locker room.
“What?” I worriedly asked.
He sighed extremely.
“The, uh, medical examiners determine who killed the girl in the woods to be an animal, not human. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a human, not an animal. They have assumed not the killer, so Mr. and Mrs. Smith got out of jail.”
“Are you kidding?”
“No, and here is the bigger kick in the ass. My dad ID’d the girl both halves. Her name was Samantha Smith.”
My eyes widened after hearing the last name.
“Smith?”
“Yeah, she’s Smith’s own daughter.”
I sighed in disbelief as I couldn’t believe they could really do it to their own daughter.
I left Kevin with several thoughts in mind about the girl. Do I really have a sister? Why were the two lying to me?
I left Kevin with several thoughts in mind about the girl. Do I really have a sister? Why were the two lying to me?
When I got home, I immediately descended upstairs to prepare for the Jones’s dinner night.
Though I know Draku has some sort of evil plans, I should not show any weakness as I could recall, they felt terrified at me from our first encounter.
Talking about power, how powerful really am I?
“As powerful as no one could ever imagine, boy!”
The toothbrush I was holding immediately fell out from my hand when I heard the creepy voice of the beast inside me.
Though I was only thinking, he can even read my mind? How was that even possible?
“Hahaha! Simply because we are one and were linked to each other, Emir. You, me and me, you.”
I furrowed in confusion.
“Does that mean, you hear and see everything I did?”
The beast laughed at me again.
