A Dream Come True

Chapter 4

Desi's P.O.V.

Andy, Maria and I were all talking and waiting for Nessa's game to start, when the seats next to me were filled. I look over to see who it is.

"Liam Payne? Is that you?" I ask the boy. Liam is my cousin. We haven't seen each other in years. We haven't kept in touch either. The last time we saw each other we got into a HUGE fight. Which was about four years ago.

"Desiree Sandberg?" He asks me.

Yup, it's him.

"Don't call me that. Call me Desi, please." I tell him.

"But Desiree is so pretty!" He says.

"I don't care. Please call me Desi." I say. I notice four other boys with him. "Who are those boys Liam?"

"Those are my bandmates." He says.

"Are you guys popular?" I ask him.

"We actually are. We are the biggest boy band in the world. We are One Direction." He says smiling.

"You're not serious." I say.

"Dead serious." He says. "Why are you here?"

"I am here to play basketball in the Olympics for the US." I say proudly.

"I never thought you'd make it this far." He says.

"Well, I did. And this is my best friend Andy, she's also a basketball player." I point to Andy. "And this is my other best friend Maria, she's a swimmer." They both wave to him and he waves to them.

"Do you enjoy watching Futbol?" (Sorry! I don't know how to spell it the British way.) Liam asks me.

What? Football? This is Soccer. Oh! He's talking about Soccer.

"Actually our other best friend is playing." I say.

"For the US?" He asks me.

"Of course! She doesn't play for Canada!" I say very shocked.

"Sorry! What's her name and what number is she?" Liam asks me.

"Her name is Vanessa and she is number 11." I say.

"I'll cheer for her." Liam says.

"You will?" I say stunned.

"Sure. Why not?" He answers.

"I don't know." I say.

"What position is she?" He asks.

"She's a forward." I tell him. Wow. He has a lot of questions. I turn away from him and look at the field.

The game starts, and Nessa's in.

Nessa's P.O.V

In the first couple if minutes I score. Then Abby scores.

~~~Last couple minutes of game~~~

I'm running with the ball. I'm dribbling up fe field when someone trips me. I fall on my ankle weirdly.

I get up and try to recover the ball but I can't run fast enough. I can't keep up with Canadian defender.

Soon the whistle is blown and Pia takes me out of the game.

"I'm so sorry Pia." I tell her. She sits me down on the bench.

"You couldn't help it Vanessa." She tells me.

The team doctor comes over and checks out my ankle. He wraps it up.

"It's a bad sprain. You should be able to play in a week of two. But I order to be able to do that, you need to stay off of your ankle and be careful." He instructs me.

"I can do that." I say. I watch the rest of the game, and we win. We shake hands with everybody.

~~~A half hour later~~~

I meet my friends up in the stands.

"Nessa! Are you okay?" Desi asks me.

"You guys, I'm fine. It's just a sprain." I tell them all. "Can we go now?" I start walking towards our car.

"You are clearly not fine! You're limping!" Maria says.

"I don't care! I'm fine." I say. I turn around and notice the five boys that are with my best friends. "Who are they?" I ask while pointing to them.

"Nessa, this is my cousin Liam Payne." Desi says pointing to a boy with a buzz cut. "That's Harry, that's Louis, that's Zayn, an that's Niall." Desi points to each of the guys as she says there names.

Harry has very curly hair and green eyes. Louis has stylish messy hair. Zayn has very dark hair. Niall has blond hair and piercing blue eyes. I have to force myself to tear my eyes away from them.

"It's nice to meet all of you." I say. "Now can we go?"

"We were gonna hang out with these boys. Are you up to it?" Andy says.

"Sure. Sounds fun." I say.

And with that, we take off to go around London with the five strange boys.
