"WE'RE HERE."

After the bus stops outside everyone grabs their bags then we get off the bus and head to the locker room.

When I get to the locker room I put my stuff down in my locker then I open my bag and grab my jump rope.

Once I have my jump rope I follow the girls out to do the pitch inspection then I stand off to the side and do my normal skipping routine with the jump rope while listening to music. 

After 15 minutes I stop doing jump rope thing then I follow my teammates back to the locker room.

When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, take out my nose ring, take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I put on my warm up top then I put on my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker, put my long, curly, raven black hair up in a ponytail, put on my socks and put on my black and rainbow boots.

After my boots are on I head onto the field with the outfield players

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my white jersey while the coaches do their last minute talks.

After the last minute talks are over we are told to head to the tunnel so Nala and I head to the front of the line in the tunnel.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so Nala and I lead our team out onto the field

Once on the field we stand in a line and stand in silence for the French anthem.

When our anthem starts, myself, the rest of the starting XI, and most of the ladies on the bench all take a knee.

After our anthem plays we shake hands with the refs and the French team then I do the coin toss with the French captain.

Once the coin toss is done with I head to our bench, do our team huddle, then I lead Nala to the bench.

"Stay here." I say

Nala yips and smiles at me so I scratch her head then jog to my position on the field.

"LET'S GO MOMO." I hear my twin shout as I jog to my position. "FUCK THESE BITCHES UP."

- - - - -

"Fox Sports wants you." Heif says as I walk towards the tunnel.

"Do I have too?" I ask.

"Sorry Kai."

"Fuck's sake." I say then I head over to the Fox Sports camera.

Once at the camera I get handed a headset so I take my hair out of the pony tail and let my curls fall down my back then I put on the headset as Nala waltz's over to me.

"Hi girl." I say as Nala sits next to me then I squat down and love on my dog for a minute.

After I've loved on Nala, I stand back up and take a drink of the Powerade I was given while waiting for the interview to start.

"...And we're now joined by team captain Kimora Heath." Rob Stone says. "Kimora thanks for Joining us."

"No Problem." I say.

"Kimora you ladies suffered a tough 2-0 loss to the French today." Christie Pearce says. "What do you think went wrong?"

"We weren't clinical enough." I say. "Our forwards couldn't hit the broad side of a barn today, our midfielders couldn't string two passes together, and our defense wasn't playing as a unit."

"Kimora what does this loss mean for the team's outlook towards the world cup?" Heather O'Reilly asks.

"I don't think this changes anything at all." I say. "I'm just glad we lost in a friendly and not in the World Cup."

"Kimora this is the team's first loss with you as their captain." Brandi Chastain says. "Do you think your leaderships gives the team an extra edge in their play?"

"Honestly I don't think much has changed since I was elected captain." I admit. "The only thing that's really changed is that I get to yell and cuss at the refs when they mess up."

"Thank you for Kimora." Rob Stone says.

"Yep." I say then I take off the headset. "Let's roll Nala."

Nala yips then we we walk to the locker room.

When I walk into the locker room I hear music blaring and I see some people dancing

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." I mumble then I cover Nala's ears. "HEY."

Instantly all music and talking stops.

"What the fuck is going on here?" I question as I uncover Nala's ears.

Nobody says anything.

"We fucking lost and you're in here dancing?" I question. "Are you fucking serious?"

Once again nobody talks causing me to sigh.

"Guess I'm the only one who wants to win a World Cup." I say then I walk to my locker and get changed in silence.

Once I'm changed and have all my jewelry on, I pack my stuff up then I toss the car keys to Mama.

"See you back at the House." I say then Nala and I leave the locker room and head out to Jackie, Jordyn, and Kyra's car.

"What happened?" Kyra asks when she see's me.

"Let's just go." I say then I get into the car.

Jackie follows me and Nala into the back seat as Jordyn and Kyra get in the front then Kyra drives to our airbnb.

Once at our airbnb, Jackie, Nala, and I get out of the car and head up to our bedroom.

When we get to our room, I set my stuff down, pull Jackie onto my lap, then I put my head under Jackie's shirt and rest my head on her body.

"What happened baby?" Jackie asks as she runs her nails along my back.

I sigh then I explain what happened after the game.

"Baby you didn't do anything wrong." Jackie says.

"They still don't like me." I mumble.

"Baby a lot of people in life aren't gonna like you." My future bride says. "It's not your fault if they don't like you."

"But I'm captain."

"Not everyone likes their captain Baba." Jackie says. "I mean just think about how we felt about Katie Zelem."

"I guess." I mumble.

"It's not your job to make people like you." My soulmate says. "The only job you have is to be the best Kimora Jade Heath you can be."

"I think I can do that." I mumble.

"I know you can KiKi." Jackie says then she squeezes me. "I know you can."
