"Yeah let's go Jaguars." yells Penny. Her boyfriend was Stan Roberts who played on the team. "Woohoo!"
"Sit down." Kelly said tugging at her shirt "People are staring. The game hasn't even started."
It was true. Because it was Lynly's home game, a majority of the people were wearing green and white white we stuck out in our purple hoodies. We sat on the fifth row next to a group of girls who were eying us down and whispering.
"I don't care." She said to Kelly and stuck her tongue out at her before turning back to the game
The teams were huddled and then the ref called for the team captains to come out for the coin toss.
I held my breath, thinking about what Harry said about the family rivalry. Brendon jogs over to the centre and Carter lazily walks. Well I don't know if that counts because he got to the centre about the same time as Brendon did.
Carter was a little taller then then Brendon. Maybe its was the hair.
The ref tosses the coin and the boys call out their sides. It lands on heads and its Carter's call.
They started off with the ball.
Now I'm no soccer genius but I know the basics. I tried out little legue soccer at the community centre when I was younger with Harry and Brendon, but I was so not foot eye co-ordinate. Plus I go to almost all of the soccer games because I either had to wait for Harry to drive me or that I was avoiding to do homework.
By half time the score was 2 to 5 to Lynly.
I stood up and carefully walked down, careful not to trip. I actually let out a breath once I reached the ground. I jogged over to the Harry, who was sitting on the ground stretching.
"Hey." I say plopping down next to him, sitting criss cross apple sauce.
"Hi." He said, more like groaning leaning his head closer to his knees.
"You know you guys should guard number 23 and 24, those are the two who support that kid, Carter." I say taking his water bottle and squirting some water in my mouth.
"You think we haven't thought of that." he groaned sitting up and taking his bottle from me and sipping some himself.
"Maybe do some side steps tricks and switch the ball sides then steal it away." i say picking a hand full of grass.
He gives me weird look.
"What?" I shrug
"Nothing." He chuckles shaking his head " It's just that you talk like you play."
"Uh well that what happens when you make me wait for you." I say sarcastically punching him light lightly his arm.
"You could just walk." He says punching me back
"Yeah but I'm too lazy." I say laughing.
"Whats up kids." Danny said falling down next to me.
I scrunched my nose " Why do you smell worse then Harry?"
"Because I was actually playing." He says pushing his armpit into my face making me gag and push him away.
"So Charlie here just recommended that we should play out our step tricks." Harry smirks
"Hmm." Danny says frowning for a moment then breaking into a sly grin "That could work,"
They stood up in unison and jog over to the rest of the guys circling around the coach.
"Hey aren't you going to help me up?" I called after them
I see Harry turning and winking at me and it made me shake my head.
As I walk back to the bleachers, someone taps on my shoulder. I turned and faced a green wall. I green chest to be corrected. I looked up, and pair of baby blue eyes looking down at me, and not to mention his pink lips curled into a smirk.
"Hey" He said amused
"Uh hi?" I said more like a question
"So what's your name? He said in a smooth voice.
"Um I'm-"
I was cut off by a voice behind Carter
"Off limits."
Carter's smirk grew and he rolled his eyes before turning.
"So Miller is she your little pet?" Carter said with his arms crossed, lazily
Brendan mirrors his position and said " No her sister is my girl friend and you have 5 seconds to leave."
"Why should I? It's my field." He said walking closer to Brendon.
"Don't give me your bull shit." Brendon says to Carter then to me "Come here, Charlie, you can sit on the bench."
"But I was going to go sit with the others" I said shrinking back and turning to look at the girls for help.
The girls weren't the only ones who were watching me. The whole stand was.
"Uh well I gotta-" I start
"Hey no its fine." Carter says turning to look at me with a smile. "You can stay."
"I'd rather not." I said backing away.
"Yo what's up?" Harry says jogging up next to Brendon, looking from me to Brendon to Carter then back to me.
"Hey Harrison." Carter says "Whats up."
"Do I know you?" Harry said in a accusing voice.
"No," Carter said "but I'm guessing charlie here is your girl."
"No!" Harry and I say in unison
"Oh so you're free." Carter said to me
"Uh"
"Great I'll see you after the game." And he jogged off.
"What just happened?" I said to myself and turn and quickly run back up the bleachers with people staring at me.
My face was red and I hid my face in my hood. I felt someone patting my back but I didn't move.
After my game, I took a shower and dashed into the bus before anyone else.
What if Carter was serious? No... it was a joke, a joke for sure.
I slipped on my headphones and fell into the world of where Shawn Mendes sang me to sleep.
