The team continued to practice for a while now. They seemed to work really hard at what they did. No wonder why they won so many games. Soon enough, after about an hour or two, practice was over to which, Sam decided to lie down in the grass on her back and stare up at the sky. She was tired out, that's for sure. "You did great today, Sammy." Maxi smiled at her. "Yeah?" Sam breathed as she tried to sit up. "I worked as hard as I could, you know. It what counts, right?" Maxi stuck out her hand to help pull Sam up off the ground. "Well, it counts a little. What matters the most is playing 100% during the games. Remember, your the star player on the team. Everyone expects great things from you, Sammy." With that, Maxi ran off back to the locker room.<br/><br/>Sam stood there for a moment, wondering what it was she wanted to do. Eventually, she went back to the locker room to change back into her regular clothes. She took her backpack and came out, seeing Kuro sitting on a bench by the field. She hesitated for a moment before walking up to him. "H-Hey..." she managed to say to him. She glanced at the notepad he had, then looked away for a moment as to not be nosy. "So... How've you been lately?" she asked, not really sure what to say as she took a seat on the bench next to Kuro. "You seemed busy earlier... You know.. During lunch... Just... Hope you were alright, you know? Wandering off so suddenly like that, all of you actually..." Sam was quiet now, staring at the ground, then she lifted her head to look at Kuro. "Sorry if it's weird or whatever, just thought I'd like to know how you've been lately."
