God Of football

Chapter 18: A Date

Komi was waiting for Izan at the Valencia academy sice that was the rendezvous point. She looked at her watch which displayed ʼ 7:48ʼ.

She looked around and saw she was among the few number of parents of parents who had come to wait for their wards.

She entered the car and after a few minutes, she dozed off. The parking lot was quiet for a few minutes before Komi heard a knocking on her window.

She opened her eyes to find Izan smiling at her. She smiled back and opened the car lock for him.

Izan went around the car putting his bag at the backseat of the car before settling in the front seat.

”How was it” Komi asked. ”Well what do you think. We won and I scored three goals and made an assist ” Izan said with a smug expression. Komi couldnʼt help but laugh at her sonʼs childish behaviour.

They talked some more as they made their way home. Olivia got up as she heard a ʼhonkʼ. She looked out the window and got out to meet Izan.

Izan got out of the car and saw Olivia approaching. ”Hey” she said when she had gotten close. ”Hey ” Izan replied. They both stood there not knowing what to say. Komi who saw their interaction laughed before she left them alone.

”How was the game ” Olivia said finally breaking the silence. ”Well we won” Izan said. ”Well thatʼs great ” Olivia added . The silence crept its way up again as it got unusually tense between them.

”Come on Olivia get it together, why are you acting like this. Youʼre older than him, shouldnʼt you act a bit mature in this instance ”. Oliviaʼs inward thoughts screamed. ”You know Iʼm free tomorrow” Izan said which brought Olivia out of her thoughts.

”Donʼt you need to rest” she said with concern in her eyes. Izan smiled and replied ”Well the game wasnʼt that tasking and Iʼm still full of energy so I think by tomorrow Iʼll be fine”. ”Okay, then tomorrow ” Olivia said. ”Yeah tomorrow, bye Liv ” Izan said whiles waving at her before he went inside.

”You know, Olivia is a very nice girl” Komi who had been watching everything after she had gotten inside said whiles standing by the window.

”Come on ma, Iʼm 14 ok ” Izan said before heading upstairs. Komi looked at him with smile as he headed upstairs.

Izan got inside his room and decided to take a bath before he checked the rewards. After he finished bathing, Izan sat on his bed and opened the holographic interface.

Izan navigated his way to the shining red dot which was the notification hub.

After he clicked on it, a number of passed by. Izan went to the achievement hub and clicked on it.

[Score your first hatrick]

Reward: +15 stat points

+ 2 recovery drugs and intelligence drug

Izan saw the intelligence drug and asked the system the uses of that drug.

The system explained it as a drug which stimulates and boost normal intelligence as well as football IQ.

Izan nodded as the system explained. Izan read a bit of the notifications and cleared some of the useless ones.

Izan after he was done clearing out the useless notifications went to the warehouse tab and retrieved an Intelligence and recovery drug.

Following the systems instructions, Izan drank both of them together. Izan felt a wave coursing through veins. Izan felt his brain thumping excessively before it subsided.

Izan after this saw that his eyesight had improved and he could also notice and remember some really minute details.

”Guess it worked” Izan said with a smile before going down for dinner.

Izan stood at the door of Oliviaʼs House the next day. He rang the door bell and waited a bit before it opened. Izan turned around and it hit him.

He stared at Olivia who wore a white embroidered tie front corset with black jeans and kitten heels. Izan stared at her for a while before he realised he was staring too much.

Olivia who was enjoying the attention giggled a bit. ”Um, uh sorry, you look stunning ” Izan said as he tried to compose himself. Olivia was still smiling at Izan reaction. ”Thanks. You look good too” she said . Izan who wore a white hoodie- henley with a pair of white sneakers and black joggers waist looking shabby.

They both got out and walked side by side as they waited for and uber since none of them were of age to drive yet.

They both walked around Alboraya with no destination in mind. They walked around for a while before they found a cafe. The cafe looked serene and it didnʼt have a lot of people.

They found a place to sit after they entered the cafe. ”So what do you wanna do” Izan asked as Olivia as he took a sip of the smoothie he had ordered.

”Its a bit weird but as of right now I donʼt even know what Iʼm going to do” Olivia responded. ”I donʼt think its wierd” Izan said as he raised his head. ”Just take your time ” he said with a smile that screamed assurance.

Izan and Olivia talked some more before they realised that time had passed. They decided to take a bus this time to savor the moment. Olivia fell asleep on the bus as they went home and Izan couldnʼt help but admire how beautiful she was. He lifted a bit of hair of her face as she rested on his shoulders.

Izan woke Olivia up as the bus reached their stop. They got down and decided to walk the rest of the distance home.

The walk home was a bit quiet. Their hands brushed against each otherʼs as they walked home. Olivia turned towards Izan as they got to her doorstep.

”I had a great time ”she said. ”Me too” Izan replied with a smile. ”Then Iʼll see you tomorrow ” she said before she entered. ”See you too” Izan said before going

”How did it go” Komi asked with expectant eyes after Izan had entered.

”It was nice” Izan replied. ”Wait it was nice” Komi said. ”Yeah” Izan answered again.

”Thatʼs all, no kissing,not even a peck on the cheek” she said. ”Come on mum, what are you thinking” Izan sulked.

”Okay,okay, I wonʼt ask again but did you not even hold hands” Komi said.

Izan who didnʼt look at her sped up to his room. ”Look at him acting all shy” Komi said with a smirk.

Izan lay on his bed whiles looking at Oliviaʼs contact. ”Huhhh” Izan sighed before he texted her good-night.

Izan rose up from his bed and took a shower. After the shower,Izan did a yoga session to relieve the muscles of any stress. After that Izan went down for dinner.

************

Izan woke up early the next day to fulfill his usual daily task. After a sweaty session, Izan practiced a bit with the ball. Izan came home and took a bath. After putting on some casual clothes Izan came down and had breakfast with Komi and Hori. After breakfast Komi drove both of them to school.

School as usual went by without a hassle. Izan absorbed everything the teachers said with rapt attention as nowadays he was getting less time to study.

”Hey miura, how are you doing at the valencia academy” Izanʼs P.E teacher asked as him as they were in the schools gymnasium. ”Iʼm doing great Coach” Izan replied. ”Are you in the u15” Sorlano the P.E teacher asked.

”Iʼm actually with the under-19s now” Izan said which drew the teacherʼs attention. ”Really” sorlano asked. ”Yes” Izan replied. Sorlano looked at him with a puzzling gaze.

Izan continued after sensing no other questions from the teacher. The day passed like any other but the twist was the final exam had been brought forward. Which meant Izan had 2 weeks till finals.

Izan though wasnʼt pressured cause he felt he was well prepared. Izan after school went took a bus to the training grounds.

During training Coach Morenopulled him aside and talked to him. ”Hey Izan,your little freak show in Madrid caught the attention of Hernan Pèrez”.

Izan who didnʼt know who that was or what that meant kept quiet for Coach Moreno to continue. ”From the look on your face Iʼm assuming you donʼt know him. Heʼs the coach of the Spain u17 team and he seems to have a favourable impression of you so do well in the next matches and Iʼm sure heʼll call you for some matches and hopefully the world cup next year”.

Izan who heard this blanked.” Me but wait the Spain u17. Woww”. Izanʼs mind had gone bonkers as he started to fantasise.

Coach Moreno who saw this smacked him on the shoulders and brought him back. ”I told you so you could have a drive to push you to outdo yourself not fantasise. Now get back there and help me top this group. Coach Moreno said with a smile before pushing Izan towards the other players.

”Like a comet” Coach Moreno muttered.

”What did he say ”Gaia one of players closest to Izan asked. ”He said something about the Spain u17” Izan said before running off leaving Gaia to his thoughts.

”This guy ” Gaia muttered before speeding up to follow Izan
