Chapter 4: Real Madrid Practice

Scarlet's Point of View:

"That's amazing Scar! You better choose Real, and then we can have two Ramos' on the team! Oh my gosh this is amazing! You already know mostly everyone, so we even have an advantage!" Sergio jumped up and down excitedly clapping his hands together.

"Slow down there you hedgehog, I still have to practice with all three teams, and then I'm allowed to decide." I laughed at his pouting face.

"What you waiting for! Let's go to your first practice with the kings of Europe, Real Madrid tomorrow!" Serg exclaimed happily.

Skipping to Real Madrid Practice

"Good morning my lovely maybe future teammates!" I shouted happily as Sergio and I entered the locker room. The only thing I got in response was multiple groans and 'shut up Scar's.

"Scarlet, What a lovely surprise! You were supposed to be here next week. Eager to start are we?" Carlo entered the locker room.

"Well I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for this annoying Spaniard forcing me to come." I flashed a smile at Sergio then faced Carlo again.

"So you're going to practice with us today?" Carlo raised his eyebrow.

"Of course! I'd love to beat Cristiano three-nil again!" I replied happily.

"Please, we all know you only won because Sergio was the referee, and he does favoritism." Cris scoffed.

We all got dressed and headed out to the field. I made sure to make small talk with Toni Kroos, a newer player in the team who didn't speak Spanish quite yet in German, so he would feel more comfortable with me. I had learned German with Mesut Ozil, a former Real Madrid player that now plays for Arsenal, a few years back. By the end of practice, it was like Toni and I had known each other for years.

During Scrimmage

I had been put on a team with Iker in goal, Pepe, Fabio Coentrao, Dani Carvajal, and Nacho playing defense, Benzema and I as forwards/strikers, and Lucas Silva, Illarramendi, and James playing midfield. I had never talked to James before, but I saw that him and Cris were very close. "I don't think we have met before, I'm Scarlet." I introduced myself to this James kid.

"Ah, Sergio's sister, yeah? You're quite the looker aren't you?" James had asked.

"Yeah I am Sergio's sister, and I do have eyes, so I guess I'm a looker?" I asked confused on what a looker was.

"He's saying you hot Scar!" Isco, who had been listening to our conversation yelled loud enough for the whole team to hear, and stare at us three.

"Get away from my sister Rodriguez!" Sergio was running towards us now, while James was blushing like a tomato.

"If that's what it truly means, you quite the looker also, James." I winked at him before Sergio pulled me away.

"Don't date any of my team mates Scar, please I'm begging you." Sergio pleaded.

"Who knows maybe they will be my teammates too." I sassed at him.

"That's even worse!" Sergio had caught the attention of Carlo, and the whole team by now.

"Just get back to your positions Ramos'." Carlo ordered.

Throughout the game, I had assisted Karim and James, and Lucas Silva had assisted me, while Cristiano had made two goals both assisted by Luka Modric. "We won! Victory is ours!" I shouted cheering while running along the field with the rest of my team. The other team had just scolded us while whining about how it was an unfair game.

"Guys!" Iker's voiced boomed throughout the whole stadium, and everyone stopped what they were doing then he continued, "Go shower, you all smell like filthy animals."

"Actually, humans are animals Cas" a nickname I had called him for years. Iker just stared me down. "Oh maybe they aren't I just, you know, uh." I was just rambling by now. "I'm gonna go shower now." I walked off the field, more like ran, but who isn't scared of Iker sometimes?

"You played really well, I'm not surprised that Real, Atletico and Barça want you." I stopped speed walking once I heard the Colombian accent.

"Thank you James, you're also an amazing player. I'm not surprised Real bought you." I smirked while winking at him.

"How about this, we will find out who the better player is, and were going to play a one on one right now. If I win you go on a date with me, and if you win I'll be your servant for a whole day." James was the one smirking now.

"Fine, Rodriguez, but you're going down." I spoke confidently.

The game was filled with tackles, shoves, and goals. The final score turned out to be 9-7. In James' favor. "This is unfair!" I whined out, plopping onto the grass laying on my stomach. "I'm just a little 21 year old girl while you're 23 and you play like three different positions." I continued.

We heard claps come from the entry way of the stadium and turned, well I rolled, to find the whole team standing there. I stood up, "How long have we been playing? Must be more than an hour, because Cristiano is done styling his hair." We all chuckled while Cris just stuck his tongue out at me.

"As interesting as that was, I don't want you two building a rivalry." Carlo smiled, "That's like saying Cris can't have mirror with him at all times." every single one of us burst into a fit of laughter, some even falling onto the floor.

Soon everyone went their ways, and it was just James, Sergio and I left. As we were leaving James grabbed my arm gently and whispered into my ear, "I'll pick you up from Sergio's tomorrow night."

My heart pounded against my chest as his warm breath lingered on my neck while walking to our car. "Home?" Sergio asked, after getting no response he just mumbled to himself while rolling his eyes, "Home it is."

Authors Note;
So I'm not sure if this will have more reads by the time I post this chapter, but I'd like to thank you all for 50 reads! I know it's not much, but I seriously thought no one would read this, and I would eventually just delete the book. Obviously that didn't happen! I'd just like to thank you again, love you.
