i walk to the fields, seeing everyone stretching in the middle. they were training for the game against brons high school in two days. probably the hardest team we've versed, but we win every time. sometimes not by a lot, but it's still a win. i wasn't sure if we were going to win this time. the girls won their game after the first one by a few, and lost the previous one.

jess starts to run, looking at me. i pitch the ball to her, and she catches it, dropping it. hannah throws the ball to her, and she catches it again, dropping it as she runs.

"are you gonna play?" coach asks. i told her i was debating on playing. "um... i don't know still," i say. "game's in two days," she tells me, "it's no pressure, but we could really use you on the team. now, if ever. if you don't play well, you won't have to go on until you're ready." "what if i make the team lose?" i ask. "y/n," she steps forward, "as long as you've been here, you haven't let the girls lose once. not once." "but that's because i didn't have anything on," i say. "i know you have it in you. just think about it."

olivia and i lay in bed. "hey, i might play on friday," i tell her. she sits up quickly, "are you serious?" "yeah," i say, "i talked to coach about it. but if i don't play well at the start, i don't think that i'm gonna play the full game." "oh my god," olivia smiles, "i'm so excited! should i do, like, those makeup things the girlfriends of footballers do? i mean- i know i'm not your girlfriend, but i think it'll be cute." i smile, "i think that's cute, liv." "i'm so excited!"

i pick up my phone before i put my helmet on. i smile at olivia's messages, and i tap on it to expand.

'I'M SO EXCICRED'

'IM WAITNG THERE IS A LOT FO PEROPE HERE'

'GOOD LUCK Y/N!!!! SEE YOU SOON!!!! ❤️'

i chuckle, quickly responding before turning my phone off.

'THANK YOU LIV!! GONNA NEED THE LUCK!! SEE YOU SOON!❤️'

i pick my helmet on, looking in the mirror. i look at gracie beside me. "we're glad to have you back," gracie says, hugging me.

i walk out onto the fields, pumping adrenaline. the crowd screams, and i scan our side, trying to find olivia. i smile as i see her through the helmet bars, waving as she had a big smile on her face. she had a 13 on her cheekbone with red, white and red strips on her cheek. i wave to her, and she laughs, waving back.

i take a deep breath, taking five steps back behind gracie.

i catch the ball that gracie plays, everyone starting to move. i jog back a little scanning the field quickly as i hold the ball in one hand. fuck. two of the opponents start to run towards me, so i take jog backwards, looking for an opening. i twist my body, throwing the ball to emily. i grunt as the person's arms go around my stomach, launching herself onto me. we both fall to the grass. missed this feeling.

i hear the crowd cheer and i quickly get up, chuckling as i see jess on the floor, holding the ball. thirty yards.

everyone starts to tackle each other, and i see a clear line. i start to sprint, someone's arms going around one of mine. i fling my arm back, making her fall as i continue running. i block out the noise as jess and gabby keep the others distracted. i step into the end zone, slowing down as i catch my breath, smiling.

i look around, seeing who was available. jess starts running towards the end zone, two people following her seconds away. i had time. i predict the speed of jess running, and i throw the ball. i watch it spiral. i smile, laughing as jess catches it without stopping, running into the end zone effortlessly.
