"Honey it's time to get up", Etta's hand nudged Maeve's shoulder.
"Five more minutes", Maeve whispered putting her blanket over her head.
"You don't want to be late to your friend's game right?
"No" she groaned in her pillow
"Cmon then, your going to stress yourself out again if you don't have an outfit ready"
"Okay I'm up"
Maeve got up and the second her mom was out of her sight, she punched her pillow in frustration
"Maybe I can take a power nap before the game starts" as she rubbed her face and walked toward her closet.
She grabbed her favorite pair of light blue jeans and maroon sweatshirt. Maeve decided to bring a little bag to hold Luke's gift. She was anxious if he would like it or not.
As she left her home, she thought the bright beaming sunlight would blind her. She immediately covered her eyes with her hands.
"Honey, you ready?"
"Yeah I'm just a little sleepy-" her phone beeped, she peered down at her phone seeing Luke's name. He had messaged her about some of the things he brought for both of them.
"Oh thank god, Luke is bringing face masks and a neck pillow for me" she smiled brightly, her mom took notice of her small twinkle in her little girl's eyes.

Etta dropped Maeve off near the field, she kissed her cheek and waved her off. She watched her daughter run off toward the spot she was going to meet Luke, the boy she was anticipating to meet.
Maeve felt a bit anxious being somewhere she doesn't know any of the people there. She was standing by a gate waiting for Luke. She looked down at her phone for a second until she heard someone call out to her.
"Maeve" Luke called out with a big smile on his face. The first thing she noticed was his smile, the corners of her mouth went up. She could see that he was already dressed in his soccer wear. The two of them swiftly walked toward one another.
"I'm so happy you came, I saved a spot for you!" Luke exclaimed while leading Maeve to a shady spot near his side of the field. While the two teens were walking he took notice of her fiddling with the straps of her bag.
"Oh I brought you a mask and a neck pillow in case you need it, I get sleepy when I'm on the bench" Luke explained to her while handing the packet and pillow to her.
"Oh I made you this, it helps with stress" Maeve continued on in a soft tone about different ways it can help him.
"You made this!" He squealed out in excitement as Maeve happily nodded back.
"Woah cool! You made it my favorite color!" Luke spoke out in awe, he felt so euphoric holding onto the little fidget ball, not many people gifted him something handmade.
"Hey Dunphy time to play" a man called out to Luke, he turned and nodded toward his coach
"Go I'll be cheering you on" Maeve said in an excited tone, Luke smiled back and started to run to his team with his gift still in hand.

As the game went on, the brown haired girl jumped whenever Luke's team got a goal. She got so excited that she walked closer to get a better view of the game.
Maeve took notice of Luke faking a pass and running toward another direction. She watched as he continued to deke on other players on the opposite team. As the crowd was cheering she felt a sudden presence close to her.
She looked over and noticed a blonde but older woman in a dark top and jeans with her hand clasping a cup. When she heard the woman state that she's Luke's mom, a small smile grew on her face.
Her train of thought was interrupted when she suddenly saw Luke hit the ball and scored a goal. Maeve began to cheer as loud as she could, the older women next to her took notice of it.
The game had ended with Luke's team winning, Maeve started to gather her things until she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw it was Luke.
"Oh Luke!, I'm so happy for you, you won!" She exclaimed happily
"Thanks Maeve!, I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my grandpa's and celebrate with me!" Luke questioned with curious eyes
"Oh I don't want to bother your family", Maeve replied back in nervous tone, her eyes looking down on the grass
"Don't worry they'll love you!, you can meet my dad, he could show you some magic tricks" Luke spoke and smiled towards her in reassurance
He walked toward her and gradually grabbed her hand, "I'll be there with you, it will be fun!"
Maeve nodded and smiled back at him. The two teenagers started to walk out of the field as Luke explained the other members in his family so Maeve won't feel so overwhelmed.
