The constant sound of my alarm ringing makes me wanna pull my hair out, I groan, opening my eyes turning off the alarm on my phone, being greeted with like 3 messages from both Selwyn and Jordan.

The messages read:
"Your game is soon, you awake yet?"
- Riks 😝
"Where are you??"
"You awake?"
- Cobbs🙈

My eyes quickly turn to the sight of the time on my phone.
AHH, I scream.
I'm gonna be so late.
It's 10:30 and my game starts at 4:30 and I still have to go meet up with the team for training. I know it may seem like I have plenty of time but I still have to have a shower and get ready and traffics gonna be a bitch now.
I pull the covers off of me, fighting the urge to stay in bed. It was the first game of the season today, I gotta play good.

It was the Broncos vs the Eels. Due to experience, the Eels are dirty players and most of the players hate me on their team.

We're gonna smash them.

Anyways, I snap my self out of my thoughts and make my way to the bathroom in my room.

Time skip. (Leilani basically just has a shower)

After hoping out of the shower I remove the towel off my body putting my jersey on and shorts. I throw my socks on, putting on my shoes, tying the laces. I put my hair up into a pony tail, braiding my wet hair. I don't have time to blow dry it or anything, it shall air dry...

I grab my phone that lies on the sheets of my bed vibrating with notifications. Ughh, what do they want. Everyone was bugging me, asking "where are you?", bla bla bla... Obviously not at training... YET.

I hold my phone and keys, opening the front door, leaving my apartment. I hop in the car, putting on some songs, vibing to the Weeknd (any Weeknd fans? 🙈)

Time Skip. ( She arrives at training within 20 minutes)

I greet the girls, running up to them, hugging them. I apologize to the coach for being late. The is about 11:30 right now.
"I'll be back girls", I say to them. They all nod their heads to my comment. I go over to the boys where their training. I run up to Cobbo, jumping onto his back, I quickly jump off.

"About time, where the fuck where you mate?", Cobs says, dripping in sweat as trains while speaking to me.

"I slept in, what do you think?, wheres Riks and Reece by the way?", I ask Cobbo.

"I don't know training somewhere on the field." He chuckles before saying his sentence, "When are you not looking for Reece?".

"Shut the fuck up, he's my friend.", I sigh. "Whatever, I gotta go train, bye Cobbs.", slapping his back as I walk away.

Time skip. (I greet most of the boys including Riks and Walsh before going to train.)

As I train with my teammates, we talk about our competition. Me and my girls go onto the field where the boys are training.

I meet Walshy, greeting him by running up to him.

"Hey Lani, by the way theres gonna be a party at mine with both our teams after you and your girls game today. Dress nice. I'll pick you up at 7:30, yeah?", He says while passing the Rugby ball to Jordan who stands on the other side of the field.

"When do I not dress nice Walsh? Anyways sure, you're driving though. I wanna drink. Anyways I gotta go now.", I say.

"BYEE WALSHY, I yell out to him walking away, knowing he hates the nickname.
