Venice Beach High School

(( we are all at the varsity game watching Matt play))

(school is over and we are at Matt's soccer game. Its half time now)

Umi all the sudden felt cold. Then was normal again. "something is wrong,"Umi said starring down.

Shinji ran up to Umi and Jacope sweating. The expression on his face was a worried yet scared look.

Shinji whats wrong?"Umi asked. Umi was worried actually.

The coach said the team had played average, and if they wanted to win, they'd have to play harder in the second half. He went over revised plays that would normally have featured Matt, but as he couldn't play, the coach had adapted them to their other striker, who was not half bad himself.

"I am in a gang." Shinji said breathing hard and closed his eyes. "Run." He said and leaned on the pole.

"Shinji the gang we were attacked by?"Umi asked.

::Jacope made it back to Umi and sees Shinji::

Jacope: YO wutz up shinji. Man this game is crazy

"Jacope we got to get out of here,"Umi said. "Shinji we can't leave you!"Umi said. "And what about Matt?"umi said. "If they find out he's here then everyone is in danger here!"Umi said. Umi was getting scared.

Sunny Ward, clad in black shorts and a lime green shirt with a white studded belt, approached the field. She had recently recovered from a bad combination of oriental food and an overload of hot sauce... Bad combination, and she would not recommend it to the weak of stomach. Taking a look around, she breathed in the fresh air, it was nice to get outside finally. The fans sorrounded her as they pushed and shoved to get a bit to eat or otherwise. Even if she did stand at a lanky 5'6'', she strained her neck, standing on her toes to try and find some of her closer friends.

Finally seeing a familiar face, she hurried over to Umi, Jacope, and Shinji. Upon reaching them she could feel the tense air around them, it was almost unsettling. Her signature smile faded and a look of worry took over. Sunny looked to Shinji breathing heavily, and then back to Umi and Jacope who both also seemed worried. "What's going on?" she asked, her brow furrowing.

Umi whispered to Jacope. "We can't tell her or she too will be in danger. Umi got real worried.

::Jacope looks at everyone with blank faces. He didnt know what to do and what to belive::

"We got to get Matt,"Umi said. Sunny you know how to fight?"Umi asked looking at her. "Shinji you comming with us?"Umi asked. "Sunny stay here,"Umi said. Umi ran to the locker rooms.

::Jacope leaves not knowing where hes going but he had to do it since he is told something bad is going on::

"Matt!"Umi yelled into the boys locker room. "We need you its urgent!"Umi said. Umi was really scared now. She had no time to figure this out.

By the time Umi made it to the boys' locker room, the team was back out on the field ready for the second half.

::Jacope was next to Umi trying to get whats going on::

"Oh no!"Umi yelled. She ran to the side of the feild near the team. "Matt!"She yelled.

Sunny watched Umi whisper something to Jacope, and she raised an eyebrow. What was happening? She hated not being in the know. She studied the vacant expression of Jacope and then was pulled from her thoughts when Umi spoke her name. Fight? That wasn't exactly a conforting question. She knew how to keep away a few neighborhood thugs but not knowing what she was up against was almost to the extent of being annoying. Just as she was about to ask, Umi ordered her to stay and dashed towards the locker rooms. Sunny watched her, bewildered and annoyed that she had not been told about the situation that seemed to be troubling them all. She scowled a bit out of frustration but waited patiently. They wouldn't leave her to fight off someone on her own would they?
