I'm staring out of the window, seeing the bus pass by the trees at a fast pace.
My eyes are practically closing until a loud voice speaks from beside me
"So y/n" a voice says from beside me
I jump slightly at the sudden voice and swing my head around at a fast speed.
I look up slightly to see a pretty young player, known for her incredible play on the wing and her rapid pace.
"Hey Lauren" i say towards the younger individual. I finally sit up, fed up of slouching towards the talented winger, making my body only slightly taller than her.
"I, sorry for scaring you then" she says, rubbing the back of her neck slightly, signalling her awkwardness.
"Don't worry, i cant get mad at a pretty girl like you" i say, smiling towards the slightly older player.
I see a faint shade of red appear on her face as i compliment her appearance. I smirk at this slightly, knowing i have the upper hand in this conversation
"Well, i think you are pretty, like really pretty, i watch you from a distance. Oh, that sounds weird. I- i didnt mean it like-" I interrupt her rambling by chuckling, making her face now turn a bright shade of red
"Relax, don't be so nervous, i dont bite" i say, smiling sweetly towards her, making her physically calm down as her breathing relaxes to its normal pace.

She was about to speak again before the bus comes to a sudden holt, making all players look towards the front.
I look up slowly to see Sarina stood at the front, staring at us all smiling.
She claps gently, getting all our attention
"Right, ladies, today its just about feeling the team, getting to know eachother and playing together as a team again. We will be playing a few small sided games before going into a full sized game.
Please, get your boots and shin pads on, meeting me by the benches" she says before turning around, picking up her belongings and exiting the vehicle.

I gather my things, now looking up to see its just me in the bus.
*Sigh*
I sigh to myself, knowing this camp is going to be a long one. With the whole team disliking me, apart from a few individuals, i am definitely not going to enjoy this experience.

I slowly get up, knowing me being late will just cause myself more hastle. However, it seemed i had made this decision too late.
I take the last step off the prestine looking bus, looking up to see the place practically deserted.

"Fuck" i mumble to myself, knowing now i have no idea where to go.
I start walking in a direction, weaving in and out of the corridors before i see a glimpse of grass in the distance. My face almost deflates at the sight, knowing now i have to play.
But wait, dont i want to be here? Wasnt this my life long dream?
I suppose it must be the dreaded blonde that is making my life here a misery. Dreading the next time i see the blonde hair swaying back at forth, knowing my next lot of torture is not long away.

I finally begin to make my way towards the pitch, knowing now i will get punished for my lack of punctuality, being late for my first ever session.

I finally reach the pitch, looking around to see players still standing, stretching and chatting. This makes me sigh in releif, now knowing i wont have to embarrass myself.

I quickly put my boots on, running towards the coach who had just called everyone over for the warm up.

"Right everyone, get into pairs and start with some 1v1s. I expect to see some hard work to warm yourselves up. Begin" he says, practically shoo-ing us away.

I look around, seeing most people pairing up nicely with eachother as im stood there, helpless, looking like an idiot.

I finally hear a voice from beside me, making my head shoot up as i hear my name being called.
"Hey y/n, want to be my partner?"
I look towards the voice curiously.
"Hey lauren, yeah sure" i say, giving her a light smile and gather a ball.

2 hours later
"Right ladies. Thats it for the day. This was a good start to the camp. I expect the hard work to continue" sarina says, once she had gathered us all in a group.

She turns around and walks off, walking towards the other staff members, obviously discussing information about the team and the training session.

Most players walk off, gathering their belongings and heading towards the bus.
I begin to walk but i feel someone grabbing my shoulder, making me turn around and grab the players arm, twisting it behind them and pushing them to the floor. This was until i hear a loud scream, making players rush over, attempting to pull me off the individual.
This became impossible for them as i was too strong, making me push slightly harder against my so called attacker.

"Y/n. Look i need you to calm down, please. No one is trying to hurt you" i hear a voice say, but i still dont let go as i feel more hands attempting to pull me off.
"Look at me" the individual says again.
I finally look up, seeing lucy stood there, starring into my eyes.
This makes me snap out of my trance, letting go of the player and standing up.
I see the individual roll over, holding their shoulder and wincing in pain.
My eyes widen as i see its her. My roommate.
Shit. What did i just do?

I dont think about anything else as i run. I pick up my belongings and sprint off, leaving the rest of the team chasing me, only to be left to dust in my panicked state.

I dont even think about what im doing as i turn corner after corner, slowly seeing the sun set down past the hills as i run. Adrenaline still corsing through my veins until my body collapsed on the sidewalk from exhaustion.

I slowly lift my head, seeing 4 individuals walking towards me slowly, as i now realise im in an alleyway. No one else around.
My eyes begin to close from exhaustion, no matter how hard i attempt to keep them open. They finally close as the 5 individuals stand around my limp body, until all i see is black.
