A/N : They are playing American Football, not Soccer (just to clarify)

---------

Driving down the street with the windows rolled down, the warm sun shining in on the four best friends as A Day to Remember’s ‘The Downfall of Us All’ blasted from Chase’s sound system was all that Chase needed to relax. This was Chase’s last weekend as “one of them” she was once again going to be the new kid who everyone stared at and wanted to be friends with. The only problem? Who would be there for her as a real friend and who was there to be a friend just because she was the new kid?

Her right hand holding the steering wheel, while her left was propped up on the window her pointer finger pushed against her lips, as she absentmindedly thought about her new high school. Woolim High School, one of the most prestigious public schools in Korea, full of wealthy kids with stupid dress codes. Not something she was looking forward too; though, hopefully the soccer team wasn’t all that bad, and dance class would be good. She had already met all of her teachers, they seemed friendly, but you never know till you’re actually in class.

As Chase pulled up to the beach, she turned the volume down as to not disturb anyone only to find that they were the only ones at the beach. Which was quite strange, seeing as how it was such a beautiful day, but she couldn’t complain. The four friends climbed out of Chase’s hunter green Tahoe, and walked towards the water. Placing their stuff on the ground they decided to enjoy the water before settling down to play some football.

---------

“Woohyun are we there yet? Sungyeol keeps touching me!”

“Yes we are Dongwoo, chill. Just ignore him and he’ll leave you alone.” Dongwoo pouted his lips, as Woohyun pulled into the parking lot that was connected to the beach. Spotting a hunter green Tahoe, Woohyun pulled in right next to it.

“That’s odd that there is only one other person here besides us.”  Hoya said as he spotted the Tahoe. Sungjong looked out towards the sand, and spotted what looked like four people running in the sand.

“Actually hyung, there’s four people, not just one.” Hoya opened the door and climbed out of the van that carried all seven of the boys.

Opening the back, Hoya grabbed one of the coolers and headed towards the sand while the others grabbed the remainder of the stuff from the back before following behind him. After setting up their stuff, they looked and saw the four people from before playing, what Westerner’s called, football.

“Look, foreigners! Let’s watch them.” Sunggyu spoke before sitting down on the towel while taking off his shirt revealing his athletically tanned body. The boys all settled down, after taking off their shirts and placing them in a pile by Myungsoo’s towel.

---------

Chase and Garrick had the ball while Dakota and Bryton stood not that far in front of them. Chase bent down, her left hand in the sand, her right firmly grasping the football. Punting the ball to Garrick, Chase shot off down the beach, Bryton hot on her tail. Looking over her left shoulder Chase spotted Bryton, and Garrick farther away about to throw the ball after skillfully dodging Dakota.

“Throw it Garrick!” Yelling at him as he released it, Chase noticed that at its current angle it would land quite a ways in front of her body. Picking up speed, Chase ran farther down the beach, sand flying up behind her. Holding her hands out in front of her body she saw the ball quickly descending towards the ground. Jumping she caught the ball in mid air, and fell to the group rolling forwards in the sand, as she fell she felt Bryton’s body land on top of hers. Trying to catch her breath she laid on the sand, firmly grasping the football in one hand, and the other placed against Bryton’s slimy body, “Bryton get off me.”

---------

( Sunggyu’s Point of View )

The boys and I were speechless as the blonde girl sprinted down the beach, with the dark brown-headed male hot on her trail. Man, could she run fast or what. Seriously, she must have run track her entire life or something. As she ran I got a good look at her body, and she was in shape. As she ran you could see her abs standing out against her already tan skin. She was quite the looker, not to mention all the tattoos I could see. I spotted a dragon going up her right side, what looked like islands on her left shoulder, some symbols on her neck, and it looked like she had something on her inner wrists.

As she continued running, I saw the ball making it’s way back down towards the sand. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think that she was going to catch it but then out of nowhere she jumped up in the air and caught it. It was SPECTACULAR, seriously! But then the guy running after her jumped the same time she did, and he ended up falling on her. After helping her up, they talked for a little bit as she tried to dust all the sand off of her body. She started jogging over towards us. I glanced at the guys to see them with questioning looks on their faces as well as mine.

---------

( Normal Point of View )

Dusting herself off, Chase looked at the group of guys not that far away from the two, before speaking, “Hey Bry, I’m gonna go see if those guys want to play. They look like our age and all, so it’ll be nice.” Nodding his head he walked off telling Chase that he was gonna go tell Garrick and Dakota.

Jogging towards the guys she smiled noticing them glancing at one another. She bowed saying hello, before looking at them all in the face. Scratching the back of her neck, which revealed more of the dragon tattoo on her right side, she spoke in Korean. “My friends and I were wondering if you guys would like to play football with us?” Squinting her eyes at the blinding sun, she saw the guys glance at one another, before one spoke up.

“Sure, we’ll play. I’m Woohyun by the way.” Smiling she tilted her head to the side while holding out her hand.

“I’m CK.” Woohyun shook her hand, before standing up and dusting his off.

“This is Hoya, Dongwoo, Myungsoo, Sunggyu, Sungyeol, and Sungjong.” Smiling, she bowed at them mumbling a hello. As they all started walking towards Chase’s friends one of the guys who was introduced as Myungsoo spoke.

“That was one of the nicest catches I’ve ever seen. Do you play sports?” Nodding her head, Chase looked at him.

“Thanks, and yeah. I play soccer, basketball, golf, and volleyball… Myungsoo right?” He nodded, while another one who Chase thought was Dongwoo spoke.

“I like your tattoos, CK. How many do you have?”

“I have the dragon, the two Japanese words on my neck, ‘have faith in me’ on the inside of my right arm, the Hawaiian islands on my shoulder blade and my sisters Hawaiian and English name on my wrist. That’s it.”

“How old are you?” Woohyun asked.

“I’m nineteen.” The boys nodded, while mumbling cool. Sungyeol spoke.

“You speak very good Korean, where are you from?”

“Originally, Hawaii. But I moved here a couple years ago. I go to Seoul American High School.”

Dongwoo’s eyes grew big, “You go there? We go to Woolim High School. We are getting one of your students. What was his name? I think it was Trace something.”

“It’s Chasen, Chasen Sharks, Dongwoo. Not Trace.” Smacking the back of his friend’s head, Sunggyu shook his head. “Don’t call him Trace when he gets to school Monday. Don’t want to make him mad.” Chase smiled, as always people assumed her to be a boy from her name. Though she couldn’t blame them.

“Oh yeah Chasen plays soccer and dances.” As Chase finished talking Hoya grabbed her shoulders.

“You know him?”

“Something like that Hoya.” Before they were able to question her any farther, she ran off towards her friends before pulling them towards the guys. Continuing to speak in Korean, Chase introduced everyone. “Guys this is Woohyun, Sungjong, Myungsoo, Dongwoo, Dongwoo, Sungyeol, Hoya, and Sunggyu.” Smiling at one another she introduced her friends, “This is Dakota, Garrick and Bryton. Guys they go to Woolim High School, you know the school that one of our students is going to attend.” Smiling at her friends, they all grinned and Bryton stuck out his hand.

“You guys wanna join us?” Dongwoo stuck his hand out and shook Bryton’s hand, while smiling. “Sweet, one team will have an extra player since we are uneven. CK, Garr you two stay together same with Dakota and I. Um,” looking at the guys Bryton scratched the back of his head, “Are there any of you guys that aren’t really athletic?”

Sungjong spoke. “Naw, we are all pretty athletic.” Nodding, Bryton split all eleven teenagers into two groups. 

“Sunggyu, Sungjong, Myungsoo you three go with CK and Garr. Woohyun, Dongwoo, Hoya, Sungyeol you guys are with Dakota and me. Is that okay?” They all nodded and split up into different groups and walked away from one another to talk about their game plan.

---------

( With Bryton’s Team )

They all huddled up, and Dakota couldn’t help but look at one of the boys in particular. She looked down at the sand as she felt Bryton place his arm around her shoulders, as she did to him, and the boy standing next to her, Hoya, who in return placed his arm on her shoulders. Dakota spoke up for the first time, since she was introduced to the guys. “Okay, so how are Sunggyu, Sungjong, and Myungsoo running wise?” They looked at her before Dongwoo spoke.

“Sungjong is the fastest out of them all, then Sunggyu and Sungjong are the same. Myungsoo is probably closest to CK.” Nodding, Dakota then asked them another question.

“And what about you guys?” This time Dongwoo spoke up.

“We are all pretty fast, though I say Woohyun is maybe as fast or faster then CK.” Nodding along with Dakota, Bryton spoke up.

“Okay, Woohyun you and I will stick with CK. Since we run the fastest…”

---------

( With Chase’s Team )

Huddling up, Chase stood with Sunggyu on her left, and Sungjong on her right. “Okay boys, so who can run fast?” Myungsoo raised his hand that had been lying across Garrick’s back before he continued to speak.

“I can, and from the other team they will probably put Woohyun with you, he is a really fast runner so watch out.” Nodding she raised her head up to look at the other team which was a couple feet to the left of them. Looking back down she bit her bottom lip lightly.

“Okay, so I’m trusting you guys to help get Woohyun off my back.” The boys nodded and continued discussing their plan. “Can any of you throw?” They all nodded which was good. “Okay, Garr this time let Sunggyu throw, you are with me.”

---------

Sungjong punted to Sunggyu while Garrick, Chase, and Myungsoo sprinted down the sand. Sungjong grabbed Dongwoo who was right in front of him, and then pushed him down in the sand; before heading after Sungyeol to catch him.

Afterwards Songjong, with his small body, tried to block anyone from touching Sunggyu. The guys weren’t lying when they said Woohyun could run fast, he was faster then Bryton and only a little more then arms length away from Chase. “Sunggyu!” Chase yelled his name letting him know that she was ready; she couldn’t outrun Woohyun for very long. The ball sailed into the air, towards Chase and Woohyun. Although it was tackle football, Chase didn’t want to let him be within arm’s reach of her. Just as he was about to reach out towards her, she ducked and shot out under his outstretched arm only to speed up and run back in front of him.

“Watch it CK!” Chase turned her body and saw the ball coming fast. Raising her arms up she jumped only to feel the ball come in contact with her right hand and to feel Woohyun grab her sides as he tackled her to the ground. In one swift motion she tightly grasped the ball with the other hand and held it above her head as she felt her back come in contact with the hot sand and Woohyun laid on top of her, his head on her stomach. The wind was knocked out of her momentarily and she lay still for a few seconds before the others came running towards the two that were sprawled out on the sand.

“WHOOOO!” Sungjong yelled as he ran towards them the others yelling as well.

“NICE TACKLE WOOHYUN!” Bryton patted him on the back as he helped Woohyun up off of Chase, who lay on the sand; eyes closed and exhaled deeply trying to catch her breath. Opening her eyes, she saw a hand in front of her face; she looked and saw Woohyun smiling down at her.

“You okay CK?” Grabbing his hand, she nodded. After he pulled her up she dusted the sand off her , before excitedly hugging him.

“That was the sweetest tackle I’ve ever experienced.” The guys looked at her weird, while Dakota, Garrick, and Bryton shook their heads.

“Shouldn’t she be mad if anything?” Dakota turned to face Sungyeol and Hoya. Dakota smiled.

“She's weird like that, ignore her.” They nodded while Chase let go of Woohyun and began pulling him away towards where they were suppose to start once more. The others followed, laughing at how excited Chase was.

---------

“Woohyun that was amazing. What sports do you do?” Hugging his arm lightly she jumped up and down.

“Um, soccer, basketball and I dance.” He laughed at Chase’s giddy nature.

“Should have known, those things did your body good.” Looking down at his stomach, he blushed slightly realizing she was talking about his six-pack. “You've got a banging body Woohyun.”

Chase was always open in that sort of way. If someone looked good she would tell them, whether they were of the male gender or female. She wasn’t a lesbian or biual, she was as straight as a board, she just thought that people deserved to know when they looked good. Even if they do on a daily basis, it’s nice to hear every once in a while. Just because she told a guy he was good looking didn’t mean she was crushing either, just to straighten that out.

Looking at Woohyun she smiled before adding, “Don’t go thinking I’m hitting on you, because I’m not Woohyun. I barely know you.” He laughed at the cute face she was making. “Though I gotta say, I wouldn’t mind having abs like those.” She poked his stomach and looked down at her own stomach. “I only have the outline.” She frowned.

Before Woohyun could say anything, Bryton came and wrapped his arms around both their shoulders. “If your done praising Woohyun and his amazing tackle let’s continue.” Laughing the three walked over to everyone else and continued to play.

After playing football for a couple hours, all of them slowly got tired. On the last play, everyone became lazy. Sungyeol punted to Dongwoo, as Woohyun and Hoya slowly rocketed down the beach. Sungjong and Chase close on their tails, “Get Woohyun.” Sungjong nodded towards Chase as Chase changed her path and headed for Hoya. Woohyun stumbled luckily causing Sungjong to gain on him tremendously. Farther up the field Dongwoo had the ball trying to dodge Garrick, Myungsoo, and Sunggyu.

“Hurry up and throw it Dongwoo.” Sungyeol yelled at Dongwoo, who looked towards Woohyun and Hoya. Sungjong was about to tackle Woohyun so he turned and threw it towards Hoya instead.

Hoya heard his name being called and looked back noticing two things. One, the ball was heading towards him and two, Chase was right behind him. Throwing his hands up the ball landed softly in his hands, and Chase rammed into his chest causing them both to fall to the ground. Hoya’s grip loosened on the ball, as he landed on his back. The ball fell from his hands, and his hands went instinctively to Chase’s hips as she collapsed on top of him. Chest to chest, the ball on Hoya’s right side the two just starred at one another, their faces only a few inches apart. Chase placed her hands on either side of Hoya’s slightly tanned body, and pushed herself up before the others could reach them. Feeling her cheeks slightly heat up she fanned her face, while holding her other hand in front of Hoya, trying to distract herself. “Man I’m hungry, what about you?” As she pulled Hoya up he smiled.

“Yeah, I’m starving.” Grabbing the ball, Hoya and Chase walked towards the rest of the group. While Hoya tossed the ball to Dakota, “CK and I are hungry. Let’s eat.” The others nodded and walked to where the boy’s stuff was placed. As the boys sat down, Chase spoke up.

“Guys I’ll go get the food from my Tahoe.” As she walked off Dakota stood up and walked after her, saying she would help.

When the two girls were far enough away from the guys, Dakota gave off a squeal. “Chase, you are so lucky!” Chase’s head snapped towards her friend.

“Why?” Dakota gave her a ‘duh’ look.

“Hello, you are going to school with them starting MONDAY! That Sunggyu is a total cutie.” Chase laughed at her friend before unlocking the Tahoe, and hitting the button where the back rose up.

“Yeah he is a cutie. They all are. But they don’t even know I’m going to be the one at their school.” Dakota smirked at her friend.

“They will Monday.” The two laughed as they grabbed all of their stuff.

---------

As the two girls walked away, the boys looked at one another, and finally Myungsoo asked what he had been wondering all day. “Are you guys dating CK, and Dakota?” The other boys stared at Bryton and Garrick and waited for their answer. The two glanced at one another, before Garrick answered.

“No, we are best friends and nothing more.” Then Bryton spoke up.

“Actually CK and I use to date, but that was about two years ago. Now we are strictly friends.” The guys nodded and glanced towards the two figures slowly making their way towards the group balancing multiple things in their arms. Chase's arms were full, while Dakota carried strictly bags that hung loosely from her fingers.

As the girls approached Dongwoo stood up to help Chase with the things in her arms. "I'll help." Chase smiled as Dongwoo grabbed at least half the items from her arms.

"Thanks Dongwoo." After placing all the items on the beach towels that everyone was currently occupying, Myungsoo pouted.

"Hyung, we didn't bring drinks." Myungsoo looked at Woohyun who looked around as well.

"I knew we forgot something." Chase's hand shot up in the air.

"Oh we have a cooler full of drinks. I'll go get it." As she stood up, Dongwoo did as well. As the two walked away, Garrick looked at Sungyeol.

"Is he trying to make a move on CK?" The boys around him laughed, before Sungyeol spoke up.

"Naw… well if he is I don't know, he is just overly nice." Garrick nodded his head, and glanced at the two retreating figures.

---------

Dongwoo and Chase strolled over to her Tahoe. They smiled at one another as they continued talking to each other. Pushing the button on her car keys to open the back up, Dongwoo glanced at her license plate.

"Why does it says Sharks?" As Chase leaned into the back of her Tahoe without even thinking stated.

"It's my last name." Dongwoo stared at her, and then into the back of her Tahoe where he saw a soccer bag, with the name Chase printed in bold letters across the top.

"Chase Sharks?" Chase turned to face him, and instantly hit her forehead. "You…You’re Chase Sharks?"

Grabbing Dongwoo's hands she whispered slightly. "Please don't tell them I'm Chase. Please?" Giving Dongwoo the puppy dog eyes, he smiled.

"Oh course not. They can find out when you come to school next week." Throwing her arms around him she smiled.

"Thank you Dongwoo."

"No problem." Pulling away from the hug, he continued, "Man and all this time I thought Chase Sharks was a boy."

Chase laughed as she began to pull out the cooler. "Most do, it's understandable. My mother always wanted a boy, and got stuck with me so she gave me a boy's name. Legally the name is Chasen, but most people who aren't close with me call me Chase." Dongwoo grabbed the other side of the cooler, and held it between him and Chase as she hit the button causing the back to lower itself. The two walked towards the others, talking along the way.

"Do you think they will get mad once they find out I'm Chase?"

"Naw, just shocked. Ohh well to let you know, when you start school, you're eating lunch with us." Chase smiled and nodded. "We talked about the new student last week, and decided we wanted to show you around and have you chill with us."

"Well that wouldn't be a problem. You guys are cool."

---------

After everyone finished eating they continued to chill at the beach, splashing in the water and playing some more football. Once the sun started to go down behind the horizon everyone decided that it was probably best to head home. As the two groups headed towards their cars, Dongwoo pulled Chase back towards the end of the groups without the others noticing.

"Can I have your number?" Chase smiled, and pulled out her phone from her back pocket. Swapping with Dongwoo they entered each other’s numbers into the phones, and then preceded to give them back to the rightful owner, "Text me when you find out your schedule okay?"

"Okay." As they got closer to both the van and Tahoe, Chase placed the cooler back into the back and walked around to where the others were saying their goodbyes.

"Hopefully we see you guys around, you guys are pretty chill." Bryton nodded, and began to give 'manly' hugs to each of the seven guys, as did Garrick. Dakota and Chase stood back and waited for them to finish. As Bryton and Garrick finished they continued to put stuff in the back of Chase's Tahoe and then they both climbed in. Dakota said goodbye to all the guys giving them hugs, before she climbed into the middle row next to Garrick.

"Well guys today was awesome, and I guess I'll see you around." After Chase gave them each hugs, they climbed lazily into the van. Woohyun and Dongwoo were the last two, as Chase gave Woohyun a hug she smirked as she pulled away. "Bye y man." Although it was slightly dark, she saw his cheeks turning a slight shade of red, laughing Chase pinched his cheeks. "You’re so cute, peace Woohyun."

Woohyun climbed into the car, before Dongwoo pulled Chase in for a hug before stating, "Remember text me when you know your schedule, hopefully we have some that are the same since you have almost all the same teachers as I do." Speaking of the earlier conversation after Dongwoo told Chase they'd hang out with one another. "I'm excited to see you-"

"Monday, is my first day." They smiled at one another, hugged each other once more and went their separate ways.

As Dongwoo climbed in the others looked at him funny. "What?"

"Did something happen between you two?" Rolling his eyes at Sungyeol, he shook his head no.

"Then what took so long Dongwoo?"

“Well Myungsoo, if you must know she was just asking me for advice on a popping move is all.” Hoping the guys would believe him, they all widen their eyes slightly as if understanding.

"How'd she know you danced? Honestly you don't look like the type to dance at all." Shrugging his shoulders.

"She asked me if I did earlier, guess she is really observant?" That was the end of that conversation, but something still puzzled Hoya.

"I wonder why she said 'I guess I'll see you around'?"
