Sylvan had recently finished up her soccer practice, barely a few minutes ago. She was still in her uniform, just dribbling (?) the ball around, practicing her abilities. It was hot out, but not as hot as Israel, not as hot as the desert. She loved the desert, it might have been considered odd. If only her dad had decided to move to Nevada, instead of San Francisco, adjusting would have been easier.
"All that practice, and I'm barely sweating..."
If it had been the desert, if it had been Israel, soccer practice would have made her sweat more. Sylvan would have been more satisfied with practice. It had been a couple years since she'd been in Israel, but she still missed it. Home was home, even with the bombings and stray gunfights. Blood and sand was terrible, but it reminded her of home.
In San Francisco she couldn't even sweat, where in Israel, sweating is what you did. She felt homesick. It had been moments, before she even realized she wasn't kicking the ball around anymore, she had stopped. Homesickness(?) was making her feel lethargic (?).

"Hey ther- are you feeling alright? You seem disorientated."
Magnus stood there, being a big shadow in front of the girl. He had come from the benches where he had been watching the girls play. Reason: The boy team sucked so badly that the female team was the only football team to root for. So, that was what Magnus did. ... And the team had some pretty hot players which didn't make it worse. He had planned on leaving but the remaining straggler. He had a slightly, fake, look of concern on his face.
Small steps Magnus... He thought as he looked to the side, operation start small talk had begun. Operation steal ball would be the next in line. He opened his mouth to talk, whether the girl football player had responded didn't matter.
"Oh, and I'm Magnus by the way."
[OOC: Football is meant as soccer in this context, I am European and we call Soccer for football here.]

(OOC: It is football in Israel too.)
Sylvan noticed him as he approached, but really didn't pay him any mind until he started to open his mouth. She got the feeling like he was going to do something that she wouldn't like, so she started dribbling the ball towards one of the goal posts. Sure, boys talked to her, but they were usually in her class, and didn't really talk to her at random.
"It is nothing."
People might say Sylvan was being difficult at that point, but I like to think that she was being honest. Homesickness isn't really anything at all, other than missing the place you come from. Eventually, she'd adjust to life in this area, and would barely remember the deserts of Israel, or it's hills, or Jerusalem.
The boy that was talking to her, was large, Sylvan saw. She might have seen him around the school before, but familiarity wasn't what she was feeling towards him. It was paranoia. Maybe the paranoia wasn't really there, or wasn't good for her at the moment, but with her state of homesickness, which put her on edge, it was understandable.

Ryou sat on the benches, watching the girls' soccer team finishing up. After a few minutes, practice was over, and only one girl was left. Why he was sitting here? He was bored, and frankly, he didn't really have much else to do, so he decided to kill time here. He didn't bother to move as another guy got off the bench and approached the girl that had stayed behind.
He had a look of concern on his face, whether it was sincere or not didn't bother Ryou. He sighed almost contently, it was hot out, but not so hot that Ryou would be sweating buckets, and considering what he was wearing at the moment, he felt the weather was pretty damn nice. He heard the guy starting up a conversation, and then heard him give his name.
" Magnus huh?" Ryou thought, making a note of it. It was out of habit mostly, most likely he'd not have to recall it, for whatever reason. Ryou thought of making his presence known, but how? Better to let them come to him, instead of him going to them. Less hassle, and Ryou was feeling lazy, believe it or not.

(Sorry for a late reply, been busy. Oh, and great to hear Israel calls it by its real name ^^  Wa-wa-waaaaaa. The tell-tale sound of someone being owned so ridiculously much, echoed in his mind. The fact was that he had been embarrassed by this girl, yet he couldn't help to smile at the echoes in his mind. He watched as she started dribbling the ball away up to one of the goals. Magnus quickly shook away the shock of being so rudely dismissed by someone from the opposite sex. He followed her, in a slower pace. He picked up the frame of someone from the corner of his eye. It was a boy with brown hair. A boyfriend perhaps? No matter he would push on for the sake of either embarrassing himself further or getting to know the girl. "Great... Great. Then you wouldn't mind a short round of football? I'll even let you have that boy over there on your team... if you even need him." If it was because she was uncomfortable with him, bringing in a third party member might help breaking the ice. Oh, and on the game of football. Magnus might be an excellent sportsman, but football was not one of his good sides. He was a great goalkeeper, but for the rest of the game he was just average. |

"Come and get the ball then."
Sylvan turned around and started moving towards the opposite goal post now. If they were going to play a game, then they were going to do it on the field, one on one. None of that non-sense where she gets another play because she's a girl. That's sexist. She was a good football player, she could kick this guy's rear on her own. There wasn't any need for some boy to help her out when she could handle it. That remark he had made last offended her a tad.
"If you can."
Sylvan had decided that she was going to beat this kid on her own. She was going to outscore him, and completely destroy him at this game.

She's feeling confident... Now, how do I drive that confidence out of her...
Magnus' feet began to move, directly for the smaller person on the field. It was going to be speed, skill and endurance.
That's so not fair. She probably had the advantage in both skill and speed. Oh well, he had gotten into this mess himself, he would just have to save face by at least putting up a decent match. At least not lose 10-nil. He smiled and started to run towards her. Right now he was a pretty simple level of planning: Get ball, sprint, shoot, score. Repeat.
He was getting close now. He wouldn't make a decisive move before she had made a hint at what side she was going to run to. First then would he strike.

Ryou smirked, there was no point in him getting involve, besides, the girl's body movement told Ryou plenty that she didn't need his help in kicking Magnus' ass. Besides, this would be interesting, a girl on the soccer team vs. Magnus, who probably did do well in sports, but who knows, maybe soccer wasn't his best sport.
It certainly wasn't Ryou's, his was basketball. He watched as Magnus started running towards the girl, now the fun had started, and Ryou had a front seat view of the entire action.
" Now the fun begins, how interesting..."

((soccer? Hell yeah!))
Kabuto finished talking to the coach. He had shown him his certificates for winning in the state Soccer tournaments and was now on the team. The coach was more than willing to have him.
Apparently,the team had been suffering recently. Kabuto smiled a cheery grin( ;D) and accepted, and jogged away from the coach.
Over on the pitch, he saw the making of a soccer game and he ran on over, his powerful legs pumping to propel him to his destination. He was even huffing or puffing after sprinting all the way over here, super strong legs helped.
" Mind if I join?"
