[center][h1][color=a2d39c]Marco[/color][/h1][/center] [@Oliver][@Apoalo] Marco focused on Toby who was having doubts about joining the soccer team and who Bruno had thought he was a child prodigy. [color=a2d39c]"You know, one thing I loved about soccer was size didn't matter. A lot of the time I wished I was smaller. It would have been easier for me on offense because a lot of the times the smaller players could get out of tight situations a lot easier. Don't let your size hold you back."[/color] He gave the boy a smile before Landon asked if he was trying out this year. This caused him to think for a moment. [color=a2d39c]"I might, but it might end up conflicting with my swimming schedule at some point. I am not entirely sure. Plus I'm not as good as I used to. I haven't played in a while actually due to swimming and acrobatics."[/color] He rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled. He had to think. The last time he had even touched a soccer ball was the end of the season seventh grade. He had done swimming eighth and ninth grade. [color=a2d39c]"I do a lot of sports, and if I pile too much on my grades will suffer. I loved playing soccer but swimming helps a lot with my full body workout for acrobatics. It is kind of my competitive workout regimen along with some other things. Maybe if you can convince me to tryout for soccer I will."[/color] He winked at Landon. Where as it was common for Marco to date girls he was in fact into guys as well. This was a factor only his sister knew as, even though Marco was confident and for the most part didn't care about what others thought, he was terrified of what the others would think of him should he come out as bisexual. He did, however, like to drop hints here and there to some people of interest. Landon had been a minor person of interest when they were younger but at that point Marco wasn't entirely sure what he was feeling. [center][h1][color=f6989d]Maria[/color][/h1][/center] [@Apoalo] Maria giggled when Landon called her Marco's better half. She wouldn't have said it herself as she saw them as two halves of one picture, but if she really thought about it, she was his better half. She was the one who made sure he got up for school. She was the one that helped him with his work should he need it, and in a way she was a big part of his moral support team for most of the activities he did. Though it was the same when it came to her music. He was always the first to support her. She didn't really say anything in response though since the boys were all talking sports, something that wasn't her thing. Marco seemed to enjoy the conversation but Maria had nothing to contribute. Shrugging Maria decided to wonder on her own for a bit. [color=f6989d]"I'm gunna go, let you all talk sports and such. See ya around."[/color] She smiled and waved, walking off to look for a booth that interested her.
