Chapter 12

ZAC'S POV

Ok so I don't like using the word hate but that's the only thing to describe my feelings towards Carnoustie. Our first match against the Wasps was fine but God those guys played rough. I mean I know rugby is a rough game and all but they just played down right dirty.

I watched as we grabbed the ball from the ruck, "Hughes!" I called, "Pass!"

He did. He passed it to me and I ran up the wing dodging several Carnoustie players, I noticed the ref check his watch. Not much time left. I ran as fast as my legs would go, Kayden behind me in support.

I could hear him shouting at me, "Smith run! Don't drop that ball we have the advantage play it! I've got your back mate!" And he did, if I was going to get tackled Kayden came and got to them before they got to me. It was how we worked. Brendon and Derrick worked together in front of us, in space, keeping the attacking line.

"GO FOR THE TRY SMITH!" I heard Coach scream.

I saw the try line. I saw a Carnoustie player, did that stop me? No. I sprinted and dived forward just as the ref blew his whistle. The Carnoustie player obviously threw a tantrum saying that I was in touch and all that, when really I was over the line fair and square putting us in front by five points. The referee wasn't listening and instead told everyone that we could kick for the conversion.

Kayden stepped to the mark with the ball in hand. Everyone was quite as we watched. I looked over at Kody to see her concentrating on the ball. She looked up at Kayden he looked up at her too. She nodded.

Twin thing.

He took a deep breath and let the ball fly. And it did. Straight through the middle of the posts. The whole team went wild. Everyone congratulated me and Kayden and we shook hands with Carnoustie. If I said that they were friendly I'd be lying. The captain of their team came up to me and squeezed my hand with a little more force than necessary.

"You won't win next time Smith." He spat.

"Ok then." I shrugged my shoulders, "Good game mate." I said and walked off towards Kody and the gang.

"OhmyGod!" Kody screamed, "That was amazing!" She jumped and hugged me.

I laughed, "You're hugging me."

She looked at me like I was stupid, "Eh... Yeah Zac it's what you do when you're congratulating your friends."

"But I'm all dirty and mingin'"

She huffed, "Yes. I'm glad you noticed. Now shut up and be happy." She stated, "We won! Well, you won technically but still!"

I laughed again and put my arm around her shoulder. Derrick and Brendon jogged over with Eve and Tess beind them giggling at something.

"That was great." Derrick said, "Did you see the way their number ten reacted when he missed the conversion?! God they are such brats."

"One bit me!" Brendon shouted, "It left a mark!" He pulled down the sleeve on the shoulder of his top and showed us the purpley mark on his shoulder, "It's not bloody football and he is not Luis Suarez!"

I looked at Kody and we both laughed, "Calm down Bren." She said, "I've seen worse."

"Well I think this calls for celebration." I stated as I took my arm off her shoulder, "And not at the club house. Let's all head to mine and we'll have a mini party."

Kody turned to me, "Yeah sure I'm cool with that. The girls and I will go in Finn's car and we'll meet you guys there."

"Yay! Parrrrrrrtayyyyyyyyyyyy!" Brendon shouted spinning around with his hands up in the air.
