Chapter 3: Explaination 2.0

Scarlet's Point of View: Flashback

I decided that I shouldn't be sulking in my bedroom while the weather was this nice, so I went outside to go on a swim. I changed out of my clothes into a classic red two piece bikini. I ran down the stairs and grabbed a towel, and lifted the handle to the doors. The hot sand surprised my feet, and I jumped and screamed at the feeling, repeatedly. "What are you, a tap dancer?" a voice called out from behind me.

I whipped out and looked left, "Over hear sweetheart." the stranger called out once again. I looked right and saw a gorgeous human being. How did God manage to make people this hot?

"Um, thanks? I'm Luke." Luke laughed.

"Did I say that out loud? Oh my gosh, this is so embarrassing." I felt the heat rush up to my cheeks.

"Alright, so you get my name, but I don't get yours? That's just cold." Luke joked.

"Scarlet, or Scar. Depends on if I enjoy your presence if you get to call me Scar."
I joked sassily.

"Woah there, all I needed was a simple answer. Want to join my friends? And no, I don't surf although I look like I can, trust me I can't." Luke asked simply.

"Nothing is impossible. I can teach you." I replied. We walked over to his friends.

"Luke, mate, tell me how you managed to get that close to a girl this pretty?" a kid with red hair joked.

"Guys this is Scarlet, Scar if you're lucky enough for her to like you." Luke rolled his eyes, then continued, "That's Michael, or Mikey, Ashton, or Ash, Calum, or Cal." That night was the night a friendship built to last years started.

PRESENT DAY

"Are you dating either of these Martin, Cody, Lucas, or Anthony kids?" Sergio asked protectively.

"Are you dating the girl that answered the phone?" I shot right back.

"Yes" he sighed.

"Well, those 'kids' are my best friends, and no I'm not dating any of them." I answered.

"Did you really try to call me?" he asked hopeful.

"Everyday almost, until a month later she told me to stop calling she said you told her you hated me and wanted me out of your life." I remembered the feeling of that day, I was heartbroken. My own brother didn't want anything to do with me. "And when you freaked out at me earlier, I thought maybe I shouldn't have come back, but I came here for a reason."

"I'm so sorry Scar. I do love you, but before I leave to go break up with Pilar, why did you come back?" Sergio frowned, something he did when he was focusing.

"Well, I kind of got back into football, and had secret practices with the team, and I might have gotten a contract from three teams in Spain." I replied nervously. "Besides, who names their kid Pilar, does she have a brother named Roof?" I joked.

"No what breed of stupid are you?" Serg joked back before coming back to seriousness. "What teams offered you a contract?"

"I might have gotten an offer from the three best clubs and Spain. Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid, and Barcelona." I bit my lip, wondering what he reaction would be.

Authors Note;
Helloooo. I thought this chapter was a little longer than usual, but I didn't want to make two short chapters, I mean who is that cruel? But yeah, if you were offered this opportunity, which team would you play for? I'd definitely play for Real Madrid it doesn't get any better than them, and I would get to be able to meet Zinedine Zidane aka my favorite player of all time.
