Six Girls, Five Guys, One Summer (One Direction)

Chapter 18: The Girls Are The Champions

A/N Hey everyone. Sorry for the late update, but I hope this chapter will make up for it. It was mainly a free write, since I did no work on the story in Chicago, only on the plane ride back. But, hopefully this still works. Enjoy!

Lizzie’s POV

“So, do you guys have plans tomorrow, or are you free? The girls and I have something awesome to show you,” I told the boys before they left to go to their hotel that night. If they were free, specifically around noon, the girls and I had a plan. It was going to be amazing if it worked out.

“Um, I think we have a radio interview, and I’m not sure about afterwards,” Liam said after thinking it through for a little bit.

“Ah, okay,” I said, nodding, sounding a bit too casual than I would have been on other terms.

“Why? What’s going on tomorrow that you and the girls want to show us?” Louis asked in response.

“Oh, nothing,” I answered, thinking about what was going to happen tomorrow. “Just call us if you find out you can make it, okay?”

“Okay, sure. But what’s going on?” Niall asked in response.

“Never mind,” I smiled. “See you later,” I said as they got into Paul’s van; who had pulled up at Courtney’s house. The boys all waved as the van pulled away. I waved back, and the girls probably did too, but they were behind me, so I didn’t know if they did or not.

When they were gone, I waved goodbye to the girls before heading home and heading to bed. As I fell asleep, I thought of tomorrow, and how awesome it was going to be.

As I woke up the next morning, I smiled to myself. Although July 4th was always fun in our neighborhood, the best day of the summer, in my opinion, was the annual Elm Street Champion Soccer Game, which was held in my backyard. It was always so much fun!

Every year, Kyle and I were team captains, and the rest of the group would divide out evenly into the teams. Until this year, we had my brother to be a part of the teams. But, now that he was in the Air Force, he wasn’t here. So, now we would have an odd number unless the boys showed up.

Thanks to that, I knew that someone was probably going to sit out. I already had an idea of who that was going to be.

I quickly changed into my old soccer t-shirt and shorts before heading downstairs. “Morning, Mom,” I greeted as I poured myself a glass of orange juice. “Are you ready for the big game? We always love spectators,” I added.

“Yes, of course. Also, I was able to set up a Skype with Michael. He’s going to be watching too,” Mom informed me grinning.

I felt a smile form on my lips as I heard this. “Michael’s going to be watching?” I asked softly.

“Yes, unless he’s called to do something. Your game fit perfectly into some down time he had. Isn’t that great?” Mom asked in response.

I nodded. “It’s perfect. I can’t wait to tell everyone!” I said.

Mom smiled. “Now, my star player, let’s get you some breakfast,” she said, and we both laughed. This would be a fun day…

“Are you ready to lose?” I asked Kyle as I tied my long hair back into a ponytail. We were meeting up just before we chose our teams, like we always did.

“Oh, you’re going down, Nelson. This year’s my last, so I’m going out with a win,” Kyle said with a grin, sounding a bit overly confident. There was a determined flame in his eyes, which I recognized from previous years of the championship.
