Raso's Little Sister

Trouble

1st of July 2019

When I arrived at camp, I was in major trouble. He laid a bunch of punishments on me, cleaning the bibs, packing up equipment, running laps, extra gym and suicide runs. Then I got my room assignment and I found out I was with a new addition to the group, who also happened to be Macey's replacement. I knew he was trying to taunt me and get in my head but I was going to try and keep him out. 

When I went up to my room, she was sitting there on her phone. She introduced herself first. "Hi my name's Charlotte Grant but you can call me Charli, I heard you're the captain." She looks all cheerful and happy, she was everything I used to be, a splitting image. 

"Yeah I'm Jess the captain. It's nice to meet you too." I thought for a moment before I asked her. "How old are you." I was just seeing how much older than me she was. "I'm 18 my birthday is the 20th of September! How old are you." Is this guy serious, replacing Macey with someone who is the same age and born on the same day.

"I'm 15." After hearing her response I became a little less interested in getting to know her. "Wow you're young. Can I ask you something." Of course she said I'm young, she's not even that much older than me. "Yeah go ahead."

"Is it true that your sister is Hayley Raso." Here we go, another fan girl. "Yeah she's my sister. Why?" I bet you she's going to ask for her autograph or something. "Oh no reason I was just wondering. Don't worry I'm not going to ask for her autograph." That reminded me. "Shit."

I pulled out my phone and called Hayley. "Hayls I'm so sorry I completely forgot to call you when I landed." She asked me how the flight was. "Everything went fine, except for the delays and the new connection flight being 4 hours later, it was fine. Are you happy to go back to camp next week." I heard her take a deep breath. "Yeah I'm excited I'm just a little nervous." 

"Don't be nervous you're going to do just fine. You wouldn't be there if you hadn't been playing well. Besides I think you have been playing just fine considering you broke your back a couple months ago." She thanked me. "I'm sorry but I have to go now, by princess." 

"I told you to stop calling me that Jess." I laughed. "I will never stop calling you princess, the name is staying forever." Then I hung up.

"I'm sorry, I would love to get to know you better Charlotte but I have to go, I have meetings with our coach." That was another thing he told me whilst he was yelling at me. When I arrived at the analysis room, we actually did analysis. It didn't last for very long because we had training at 2. 

I quickly went up to my room and got changed into training kit and headed down to the pitch. Luckily I had missed all the fitness stuff so it was just normal training. As always, training was intense, but no where near as intense as at club. 

The difference between the abuse at club and here is that at club it's mainly to the whole group and a little bit extra to me, but here everyone else gets treated normally and I'm treated like shit. To me it didn't matter anymore, I just got used to it. 

After training, I packed up the equipment whilst everyone left, then he made me start doing suicide runs for a while, then I had to run a lot of laps and then go put the bibs in the wash. When I was finally done, I headed in for dinner before we had team bonding that I organised.

This time I decided on starting with each group trying to build the tallest tower out of pasta and marshmallows followed with some trivia and karaoke. When karaoke started, I had to go and finish analysis and training prep. Then I had to send everyone to bed and then go back and finish  doing training prep.

I don't know why I thought this time would be different but I did. I thought he would have reflected and realised what he did was wrong and he wouldn't do it again. But when we finished and I got up to leave, he grabbed my wrist and said. "Aren't you forgetting something." This time I stood up for myself.
