章節 96: The summer solstice festival (3)

The crowd of players in dark gray jerseys that were around Keith formed a line and started a light jog to warm up, leaving a few players to stand on the side and stretch.

Keith used this breather to join Talia and Lulu on the bench, but before Keith could reach the bench, a teenage girl approached him with haste. "Coach!"

Keith looked behind her like he was expecting someone, and then he asked the girl, "Where is Rosie?"

"I'm sorry, coach, but my sister found her mate last night."

Keith's face fell. "Does that mean she won't make it?"

The girl looked at Keith and shook her head guiltily. She pushed some things into his hands, mumbled an apology, and left.

Keith dragged his feet to the bench and plopped on it. "I hope this is not a sign of how the rest of the day will go."

"Who is Rosie?", Talia asked Lulu in a whisper.

"She is our team spirit.", Lulu responded and pointed at things in Keith's hand. "Those are parts of her costume."
