Shattered Asylum

Chapter 23

I didn't see Madison in History today, probably went home and cried to her daddy. I'm getting dressed for the big game today. I feel like I need to shit and throw up at the same time, i'm so nervous and excited. "I'm so nervous." Kristina says next to me. "I am too, it will be fun tho." I say.

I sit down on the bench, putting my shin guard's on. A couple girls from the team walk into the locker room giggling. "Their new video is so funny, the way Vinnie screamed." Olivia giggles. "Grayson looked so hot." Maya says getting cold n hot from her bag.

  I wonder what they are talking about.

Kristina and I finish getting ready and head out to the field. Everyone from school will be here today. Usually it's just the parents and a hand full of students. Grayson told me he was coming again causing my stomach to flutter.

It started to rain during half time, the ref's debating if we should still continue. "Keep moving while I talk ladies." Coach Sherry says. "We have 40 minutes to win this game, we need to continue to step to the ball. We are tied right now let's not let them get another point. Aven, i'm putting you as center mid, we need you all over the field." She says nodding at me.

The rain turns into light sprinkling, the perfect weather to run in. We get back onto the slick grass. I run in place, to keep my blood pumping.

They are starting with the ball. They are very good at offense, passing and booting the ball up the field. They struggle with the defense, panicking when we step to the ball.

Number ten on their team is very good, weaving pass our defensive end. I've been making sure her team can't pass to her. She likes to elbow and hold onto your shirt. The refs have given her a yellow card, if she gets one more she's out. Let's see if I can't gift her another one.

The whistle blows and they pass it back to number ten. Olivia runs up to her, trying to get the ball.

Number ten kicks it between her legs and runs around her. I run and get in front of her leading her towards the touchline.

She tries to do a rollover but stumbles, I kick the ball away from her feet and start sprinting towards the goal. I hear her groan before chasing after me, her coach yelling at her.

I see Kristina open, I yell her name before kicking her the ball. She traps the ball and kicks towards the goal.

The goalie traps the ball, running out to drop kick it. I follow the ball in the air, trapping it with my body. I hear their coach yelling at them for not being there to get it.

I look for an open player as i'm making my way down the field. I see Maya waving her hand so I kick it to her. She traps the ball, she starts to run but number 5 get's the ball from her running towards our goal.

I sprint back, trying to get to her. I bump my hip into her, causing her to stumble a little bit. She starts kicking my shin guards, trying to get the ball.

Two more of her teammates come and start attacking me like birds. I kick the ball out of the line. Number ten grabs the ball throwing it back in.

I run in front of the girl she throws to, trapping it and running back down the field. "Come on guys! You need to block her!" Number ten screams, running after me.

She starts elbowing and pulling on my jersey. I hear a whistle, the ref stopping the game. "Do not hold onto her jersey, last warning." He says to number 10. He gives us a free kick where he stopped the game.

"Hally! You're up!" Coach yells from the sideline. I run as far back as I can, trying not to be offside.

Hally puts her hand up indicating she's ready. She nods at us before booting the ball over our heads. We start sprinting towards the ball, Kristina trapping it.
