Freya's POV

"Here you go." Katana says as she hands Raven the line-up for our final match before the October international window.

2 weeks ago we beat Real Miami in Miami 1-0 then last week we beat Atlanta City FC 5-0 at home in Denver.

"Thanks." Raven says then she and I look at the line-up.

1-Katana Solo
2-Ona Batlle
4-Jasmine Hadid
12-Tierna Davidson
3-Katja Nordström
6-Jaelin Howell (C)
14-Aitana Bonmatí
11-Alexia Putellas
9-Sophia Smith
10-Raven Lovato
7-Freya Nightingale

After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind us then I relax with Raven.

Once at Audi Field, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.

When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.

After my stuff is put up in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.

When I get onto the pitch, I head to the center circle, stand on the center spot, then I do the Haka.

Taringa whakarongo!
Kia rite! Kia rite! Kia mau!
Hī!
Ringa ringa pakia!
Waewae takahia kia kino nei hoki!
Kia kino nei hoki!
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora' Ka ora'
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora' Ka ora'
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna ne I tiki mai whakawhiti te rā
A Upane! Ka Upane!
A Upane Kaupane
Whiti te rā,!
Hī!

After I finish doing the Haka, I head back to the locker room.

When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, then I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.

After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and AirPods in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I take off my clothes and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my warm up top and my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my yellow boots.

Once I'm dressed Sophia comes over and sits in-between my legs.

"Hey Soph." I say.

"Hi Frey." Sophia says as she hugs my leg then she sits up straight as I begin running my fingers through her long luscious hair.

After a minute of playing with my friend's hair, I pull it back into the normal bubble braid she puts it in for games.

Once Sophia's hair is in a bubble braid, I lean down and kiss my friends head.

After I kiss her head, Sophia and I get up, walk out of the locker room, and head onto the field with the outfield players.

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my Colorado Gold jersey while Amaka does her last minute talks.

When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I hug my girlfriend before I head out to the tunnel.

When I get out into the tunnel I see the Washington Spirit head coach in a very hushed conversation with the refs.

"Katana." I whisper. "Gimme your phone."
