i'm in a soccer game right now for my school, and i call for the ball. so i wait until my teammate sees and passes it. and when she does i run up. i get the ball and start to dribble past the remaining defender to get to the goal. i get past her but she still close by, however i see the goalie run out of the goal just enough to where i could chip it in. i chip it and it just barely makes it in.
and my teammates run up to me and the crowd starts to cheer. but i look toward one particular person. or well a group of people but one person in the group. taracarpenter, is her name, my girlfriend? or friend with benefits? we're kinda in a situationship so i'm not too sure.
i got snapped out of my staring by my teammates hugging me and we started to celebrate together. but the score was only 1-0 us so we didn't celebrate that much but we were still happy. the ref started the game again and i immediately rushed at the ball.
they got it around me but my teammate was there to cut off the triangle passing. my teammate stole it and i ran ahead but the ball got taken away from them and i stop running but was jogging to stay on my feet. when i glanced tara's way she was already staring at me. she almost got me detracted but my teammate called my name and i saw that the ball was about to be passed to me.
when she passed it, it was short but not enough to where i had to run back a lot to get it. i got the ball and started to dribble it looking for my teammates, i saw a winger running ahead so i passed the ball. but as soon as i passed it some girl on the other team ran into me. and it hurt like a bitch but i'm not gonna say that, so i just sucked it up and continued running. my teammate shot at the goal and the goalie saved it.
the goalie drop kicked it and it went all the way to the middle of the field or near it. the other team got the ball and started to dribble through our defense, but we have a sweeper and we still had our goalie. our sweeper keep her long enough to where a few of our defenders could get back but she passed it to her teammate. they took a shot on goal and our goalie saved it then quickly threw it to a open teammate.
my teammate dribbled it, and crossed the field to a winger and the winger passed it up to where i could run up and get it.i ran up to get it but before i got to the ball the other team ran me over. (happened to me and it hurt like a mother fucker) the ref blew the whistle but the girl that ran me over stepped on my back and then tried to play innocent. my teammates ran up to me and were checking on me while the girl the ran me over got a red card. when the coach tried to fight the red card he got a yellow card.
i walked off the field and when the first aid people checked on me, there was a cleat shaped bruise along with another one from when that girl ran into me early. my coach let me sit out for the rest of the quarter which was only like 10 minutes. we when into the locker room and my teammates were checking out my bruises. when halftime was up, we when out and i was back on the field again.
when i looked at tara she was again already looking at me and i started to smile but then remember i was playing a game. i gave her thumbs up before re-focusing on the game. the ref asks if the keepers are ready, and then blows the whistle to let me know i can start. i pass the ball back to my teammate and she stops it and when the striker on the other team takes the bait she passed it to the other midfield and runs up while that midfielder pass it to me and i turn around and pass it to the one that just ran up.
when that happens she dribbles up a little and passes it to the winger in the right. and the winger dribbles down the line and then crosses it pass the middle where the goalie tries to catch it but hits it out. it's our corner kick and my team is getting the ball set up. she kicks it as high as my head and right to me. so i take my chance it try and head it in.
and i make it!! i made the header and now the score is 2-0! my teammates and i celebrate cause this is our first header of the season and i really wanted to head it in the whole season. the first person i run over to is the one who kicked the corner kick and then all our teammates ran over. they all were hugging me and one tried to ruffle my hair but i had braids in so they couldn't.
............
the game is finished and we won 2-0 and i'm super happy cause i finally got a header but also cause tara was gonna meet me after. i said bye to all my teammates and then my favorite teammate congratulated me again on the header. i walk out and look around to see my friends and i start to talk to them but still glancing around to see tara. i see my friend talking this girl that is pretty but i don't know her. i decide it just walk up and say hey but they keep my in a conversation and the girl is flirting with me but i decide that she probably always like that.
i keep talking and more people come up and talk to me. (y/n is popular if you can't tell) i remember that i'm supposed meet tara after the game, so try to end the conversation but, maria, the girl keeps talking to me. that's when i see tara walking over with angry? look in her eye. i don't really know but i look back at maria and then back to tara. tara finally makes it over to me and maria looks at her and grabs my right arm and pulls me towards her. when she does that my rib cage hits her side and i wince. tara notices and then quickly starts to ask if i'm ok.
"im fine tar, just my bruise." i said breaking the my arm away from maria.
tara quickly pulls me towards her but makes sure to not touch my right side. she's looking up at me worryingly and i promise her i'm alright. maria just stands there and watches, then tara turns to her and starts to ask her why she was flirting with her girlfriend. girlfriend? so we're dating? maria says that she didn't know we were dating and to be honest i didn't either.
maria says bye and leave quickly and tara just watches her leave while i stare at her with a puzzled look. she looks back at me and just grabs my hand and pulls me along with her. while walking i decide to tease her a bit.
"girlfriend, huh?" i say with a teasing smile. and she just blushes and starts trying to explain why she said that.
"i just didn't want her to think something or that-"
"i don't mind, tara. but i expect to be on a date when you ask me out." i cut her off. i look ahead and that's when i see the twins, ethan, anika, sam, and quinn. i greet them all and they say that we're going out to eat pizza and i look at tara and she's standing next to sam and looking at me. weirdly.
