Soccer

Still Enids pov

I woke up the next day, the sun shining through my blinds. The clock read 11:23 AM "shit, we slept in again" I muttered under by breath. I looked down at wens, seeing her sleeping peacefully on her bed.

I gently nudged her awake, whispering "Hey sleepyhead, it's already past eleven" she stirred slowly, blinking against the morning light flickering through the blinds.

"Did we sleep in again?" She asked with a mix of amusement and mild concern.

"yeah, it's 11:23 Am" I confirmed, rubbing my eyes.

Wens stretched out and then sat up, running a hand through her messy morning hair. "Guess we needed it" she replied, yawning.

I smiled and nodded, agreeing silently. After a moment, I suggested "coffee?"

"definitely" she said, swinging her legs over the side of her bed.

As we made our way to the kitchen, I joked about setting more alarms next time. As we got into the kitchen, we met my grandparents, making food.

"Look who's finally up" my grandmother joked, giving me a hug. "Are you girls hungry?"

I look over at Wednesday who's already looking at me. "Yeah sure" I reply.

Me and wens take a seat at the table, me besides Alex, one of my brothers and Wens besides William, who happily greeted Wens.

"Do you two have any plans for today?" My grandfather asks, placing a plate full of pancakes on the table.

"Not really" I reply

"Do you guys wanna come outside and play soccer with us?" Axel asks, putting a pancake on his plate.

I look over at Wens and she nods, telling me that it's okay. "Sure, just let us eat first" I say and the boys smile excitedly.

"So, Wednesday have you ever played soccer before?" William asks.

"Yes" she reply's

"What's your favorite team?" Axel then asks, god these boys.

"Argentina" she replies.

"Okay, valid, why?" He then asks, taking a big bite out of his pancake.

"I mean, I'm Hispanic so it's more cultural, but Argentina have always been a favorite" she says.

"You're Hispanic?" My grandmother then ships in and Wednesday nods "where from?"

"All over South America, but mostly Mexico and Puerto Rico" she replies

"Do you speak the language?" My grandmother then asks, what's with them and questions this morning?

"Yes, I speak Spanish, French, English, German, and Swedish" she says, wow, I didn't know she could speak so many different languages, I can only speak English and high school Spanish.

"Wow, that's a lot" William says, super impressed and she nods.

We continued breakfast, talking and eating pancakes. My grandparents told us their plan for today and they informed me that my mother will come back from her business trip tomorrow, yay. As we finished breakfast, me and wens upstairs to my room to get ready to play soccer.

"What are you going to wear?" I ask Wednesday, looking through my closet for some sports clothes.

"This" she says, holding up a pair of black shorts, a black long sleeve and an Argentina shirt.

"are you really going to wear color?" I ask with a mix of chock and excitement, she nods. "OMG NO WAY"

"Yes way, and this is a one time thing" she says, and I quickly nod, not wanting to make her change her mind.

"I'm gonna go change" she says and opens the door.

"Okay, just don't take too long" I say as she closes the door behind her. "Now what am I gonna wear I ask myself.

I finally decided on my old soccer jersey and a pair of black shorts, basic but we are going to play In the dirt so it doesn't need to be cute. I quickly change into the outfit before Wednesday comes back.

"Enid are you ready?" I hear her ask me from the other side of the door. I look myself in the mirror one time before stepping out of my room.

—

"Okay, it's gonna be 2 vs 2, flying goalkeepers" Alex says. "So who's gonna be with who?"

"I wanna play with Wednesday!" William quickly says and I couldn't help but laugh a little, it's so cute, he really loves Wednesday.

"Okay, but you're the goalkeeper" she then replies and he nod happily"

The game kicked off with both me and William in goal. Alex started strong, dribbling past Wednesday and scoring a goal quickly. William tried his best but couldn't quite reach the ball in time.

The game was fast paced and fun. Wednesday showed of her skills, stealing the ball from Alex and making impressive runs, who knew that she could run so fast? She passed the ball to William who shot an impressive shot and scored.

The game continued, it was mostly Wens and Alex fighting for the ball, with a lot of running, passing and laughing from everyone except Wens ofc, cause yk she doesn't do emotions. But me and Axel worked great together, scoring a few goals while William defended the goal with his life, but we still lost due to Wens unexpected skills. How come she didn't join Nevermores soccer team? I have to ask her later.

After several intense rounds, we decided to head inside to grab something to drink. When we got inside, our grandparents suggested that we should make soccer a regular family activity, and for once I agreed.

"Wens, how come you didn't join Nevermores soccer team?" I asks, chugging down the glass of water in my hand.

"I'm not a team player" she says casually while sipping on her water.

That's true, she really isn't and that's one thing I love about her, she doesn't need other people, she's independent, as a woman should be. Wait Enid, you have a boyfriend, you can't say that. But speaking of boyfriend, I haven't heard from him In a while, should I text him?

I picked up my phone from the kitchen counter and thought of what I should text him..

Ajax❤️

Me: hey babe, haven't heard from you in a while, how are you?❤️❤️

That should be enough, right? I mean I wouldn't wanna look desperate.

"Watcha doing?" My bother asks, peeking over my shoulder.

"Nothing" I reply, showing him off me.

"Oooo who's Ajax?" William asks, mocking me.

"My boyfriend" I reply, turning my phone off and placing it back on the kitchen counter.

"You have a boyfriend?" Both the boys asks, and I nod, looking over at wens who looked, jealous? What no, why would she be jealous? It's probably nothing.
