Katana's POV
"Alright we're ready." One of the USWNT media members says as she finishes clipping a mic on me.
"I'm not being pranked right?" I ask.
"No Katana." Tierna says as she, Jane, Andi, Sophia, and Catarina get passed stacks of cards.
We have the day off so the media team is having me do a get to know you video with my former
"Good." I say then I point to Socks and Appa. "Cause they would not be happy."
"They wouldn't hurt a fly." Kelley says.
"Why are all of you here?" I ask as I look at the room filled with all the national team ladies except my aunts. "Don't you have anything better to do?"
Tierna subtly squeezes my hand then I let out a deep breath.
"I'm not trying to be a bitch, but how long will this take?" I ask. "I have some meetings I have to be at in a couple hours."
"Half hour to 45 minutes top." The media people say.
"Cool." I say then we're told to start so I intro the video.
After I intro the video, the questions start.
"Well since the people know you're name." Jane says. "How old are you and how tall are you?"
"I'm 24 and I'm 6 foot 3."
"How tall was your dad?" Sophia asks.
"6 foot 8." I say. "I think."
"Geez."
"What'd he do?"
"He was an aerospace engineer at Boeing."
"Who are your favorite footballers?" Andi asks.
"In the men's game, it was Edwin van der Sar, Manuel Neuer, Gianluigi Buffon, Patrice Evra, Robert Lewandowski, Marco Reus, Ronaldinho, Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'o, Thierry Henry, and many more." I say.
"And in the women's game?" Andi asks. "Beside's your aunts."
"Besides my aunt's nobody." I say.
"Really?"
"Yeah." I say. "Cause everytime I would meet one of my favorite women's players with my Mom, they'd act like they we're too good to just say hi."
"Well that sucks."
"Meh." I say.
"Who should pay on a first date?" Sophia reads off her card.
"Whomever asks." I say.
"So if you got asked on a date you would..."
"Be courteous and offer to pay." I say. "But if the person who asked me on a date let's me pay then that'll be the last date we ever go on."
"So you're ready to go on date's now?" One of the newbies that I sill haven't met says.
"You're not my type." I say.
"I'm blonde like you're wife." The lady I haven't met yet says.
"But you're also fake as fuck." I say.
"I'm not fake."
"You slept with Ashley Sanchez's ex-boyfriend for a year behind her back." I say. "The moment he even tried to get with you, you should have told Ashley."
"Yeah hoe." Ashley mumbles.
"Moving on." Andi says.
"Who was your childhood celebrity crush?" Tierna asks.
