Football Tryouts

Matt's P.O.V.

I was eating lunch with Amy and Rory.

"So do you guys have a football team?" I asked them.

"Yeah." Amy said. "Football season is coming up isn't it?"

"Yeah we'd love more players on the soccer team." Rory said.

"How can I join?" I asked him.

"Well you have to tryout." He said. "Which I think tryouts are on Wednesday."

"Oh. Do I just show up there?"

"Yeah and it's pretty easy to get on the team to be honest."

"Ok good." I said eating another crisp.

Wednesday

I was in a football jersey with all of my equipment. It was raining, but I was perfectly used to the rain. I walked to the football field with Rory. And Amy and Clara said that they might watch. Which is fine.

When we got to the field we saw other boys stretching and warming up with various footballs that were around the field.

Then the whistle blew.

All of us crowded around Coach Strax.

"Alright you human scum!" He said. "To prove yourselves you must run three laps around the track! Go!"

Rory and I went and ran along the wet track. And we were faster than a lot of the other boys. And I was hardly breaking a sweat.

"Keeping up?" Rory asked me.

"Are you kidding me?" I said as I picked up my pace.

We ran three laps and then we huddled around Coach Strax again.

"Now get one of these soccer balls and start scoring into that goal." He said as he pointed at the goal.

I ran to a ball and dribbled it over to the goal and as I was running I kicked the ball into the goal.

And Rory did the same.

I looked over to the bleachers and saw Amy and Clara sitting together. I waved to them and they waved back. Then I went back to scoring goals.

Rory and I were actually better than a lot of people at the tryouts. We were faster and scored better.

After a few more drills of passing, dribbling and running laps. Coach Strax had us spilt us into two teams and play a practice game. Rory and I were on the same them.

We did a kick-off and the ball was retrieved by our team. The ball was being dribbled by Rory and then I ran near him.

"Rory pass!" I said to him and he kicked the ball to me.

I got it. And then I dribbled it down the field avoiding all the other team members. Someone was running straight at me so I slid around them with the ball. Then I scored a goal.

Rory gave me a quick high-five as we ran back down the field to start another kick-off.

We continued to play for another 30 minutes. With our team in the lead most of the time. The Coach Strax said that the game was over and that we could go home.

Rory and I walked up to Clara and Amy.

"You guys were great!" Clara said.

"No kidding. But look at your clothes." Amy said pointing at the both of us.

I looked down at my clothes and saw that I was covered in mud and grass stains from head to toe. And I was sweating a lot as well.

"Whoa!" I said.

"Yeah you two smell like a sweaty lawn bag." Amy said.

"Haha yeah." Rory said looking down at himself.

I got my bag and took out a towel to dry my hair. I need a ride home.

"Hey Rory do you have a ride home?" I asked him.

"Yeah I'm taking Amy home too." He said. "Do you want to come?"

"Yeah sure." I said.

We walked to the parking lot and entered Rory's car. With Rory and Amy in the front seat and me in the back.

My phone buzzed and I looked at it.

C- Where are you!? David brought Rose home! And it's not good!

I laughed a bit at Chris' text.

M- I had football tryouts but don't worry I'll be home soon.

I looked up from my phone and saw Rory and Amy kissing. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I cleared my throat to get their attention. And they froze and then quickly moved away from each other.

"Did you guys forget I was here or something?" I said to them.

"Sorry." Amy said then Rory started the car.

"It makes me think what you two do when your alone." I said.

Chris' P.O.V.

Matt needs to get home quick. I'm home alone while hearing David and Rose kissing.

This is disgusting. Margret went to go get groceries so then David invited Rose over and all they've been doing is kissing and flirting with each other.

"I'm home!" I heard Matt yell through the house.

I ran downstairs to see Matt and his two other friends. And he was covered in dirt.

"What happened to you?" I asked him.

"Mud and football, never a good combination but anyway you said that David and Rose..." He said.

"Yes all they've been doing flirting and kissing I can't ask him a simple question with him trying to seduce her." I told him.

"Well where's Margret?"

"She went to go get groceries." I said. "But can we please do something about that." I gestured to upstairs.

Matt's P.O.V.

I've been put in a situation where I will have to possibly walk in on two people, one being my brother, with both of my best friends present. Wonderful.

"Look Chris, maybe we should just leave them alone." I said.

"But the thing is they can't even leave each other alone." He said.

I sighed.

"Just deal with it ok?" I said and patted him on the shoulder and then ran upstairs with Rory and Amy following.

I closed the door. Amy and Rory came in with me because we can talk about the new movie.

"I need to change." I said opening my dresser drawer.

"So do I." Rory said taking out spare clothes from his football bag. Then he went to the bathroom.

I took out just a shirt and shorts. Then removed my shirt.

"Your really doing that in front of me?" Amy asked looking up from her phone.

"Turn your back if it embarrasses you." I told her.

Then she looked back down at her phone as she laid on the bottom bunk of my bed.

I quickly got my clothes on and then Rory came back. I grabbed my laptop and then Rory and I showed Amy everything we wrote down on Saturday.
