Lost love

chapter 20

i had to clutch my hands from the shaking i don't know why i was so nervous unlike math's football came so easily to me   

"alright ladies let's get started" the lady who eva told me was coach delina

i jogged my way over to stand next to Evangelina who looks like a child on Christmas day

" ok girls we do some drills ball control and then some matches to finish of the day and that will determine who makes the squad this year " and with that with the blow of her whistle we all scattered first coach told us to stand in two lines dribbling and passing two balls in a diagonal line to one another

the drill was easy enough at least,two girls lost the ball halfway through but I manged get us back in a steady rhythm

" good work delante " coach says i didn't even think she saw me

then we got into pairs using the whole field to showcase our dribbling and control coach eyed us like a hawk not giving away anything also doing shooting practice all the girls stood in a line waiting for there turn of course eva makes all her shots most of the girls do until it's my turn i breathe in letting my eyes focus on the goal  i kick my ball and goes straight into the goal just where i wanted it over the next four turns i shoot and score all of them blushing as i could hear my brothers cheers from the bleachers

over the next half an hour we did more drills and skills showcasing our talents i must admit all the girls here are really good

lastly we went into match play we got put into two teams i was happy i got put on eva's team throughout the match my and eva were a dream team a perfect duo i say so myself

i was dribbling the ball but a girl named linda attempted to tackle me but i pulled out my signature move throwing the ball up in the air in front of me and catching it between my feet leaving linda on the ground gobsmacked not looking back i dribble the ball all the way to the goal zig zagging with the ball finally getting to the goal i take a deep breathe and shoot watching the ball go in slow motion towards the goal

SCORE

coach blew her whistle signalling for the end of the game

i could hear my brother's scream from all the way out here

my half of the team jumping on me at my last minute goal getting tackled into the floor everyone eventually gets off jogging to coach except for eva who jumps onto my back hugging me to death i walk over to caoch delina with eva still on my back arms around my neck

" you are soo making the team ella" eva whispers

" i am not going anywhere near that team unless you are on it with me" i whispered back

we finally get to the huddled girls

" ok fantastic play to all of you but don't be disheartened you will have another shot next year when i call your name please come collect a jersey" coach shouted

all girls eagerly waiting to have their name called

" ok as another year of captain evangelina " coach said

my eyes lit up in joy for eva who i hugged getting the same logo en crested jacket ( or jersey as Americans call )the boys have but more in a girlish style suited more for us gosh i didn't realize how much i wanted one till now

" and for the rest of the team come up and get a jersey all right here we go
