I have soccer practice.

But today is not just any soccer practice. My soccer coach is making the girls traveling team play against the boys traveling team. I don't know who is on the boys team.

Our coach says it will be good for us to learn from the boys. He is a guy, and I am pretty sure he thinks the guys are better than us girls. Pfft. We will show them.

I normally play forward in soccer games. Which is a lot of running. Our team is not as good yet. All my team ever does is pass me or Riley the ball. they never dribble it down the field. They say I am the only good one on the team. I refuse to believe that. Sadie is very good at shooting goals just she needs to work on learning how to run without tripping every two seconds. Marisa is good at tricking people out when she has the ball, but she needs to work on not using her hands when the ball is in the air. She is in volleyball too, so she has a bad habit. Everyone needs to work on something. I need to learn how to be a better defense.

I just got to the soccer park. We are just warming up while we wait for the boys to get here. Our team name is the tigers. We are fierce, and rare...I don't know who came up with it but it works for our team.

I was just finishing my last lap around the field when the boys show up. All of a sudden I feel a little woozy. I didn't know Zack was on the traveling team!

Butterflies are surfing on a tsunami of butterflies in my stomach.

Stop it butterflies.

Oh my gosh he looks so hot in his soccer uniform. Its the same uniform as ours with longer shorts.

My hair is up in a high ponytail with my favorite yellow headband. I have no idea why I told you but yeah. We aren't aloud to wear jewelry or any accessories other than hair clips and bands. I live for accessories and I can't wear them:(

Again...Why am I telling you this.

Anyways the game is about to start and the girls start with the ball. I am the forward with Riley as my sidekick.

We always do a cool thing with the ball where I pass it to her, but instead of running with the ball she passes it back right away and I run the way and then pass it back right before the goal and she kicks it and bounces it off the goal post so the goalie will jump for it but then I kick it into the opposite side of the goal.

Well we haven't exactly mastered it yet... But we have been practicing and this might be the first game we can do it.

Uh oh...Zack is the goalie. Now I will never make this. All our friends are watching this game. They always watch when it's a home game. In fact half of the school is here. Since both teams are from the same town. My friends cheer for Riley and I.  I don't know why everyone came to a practice. All of a sudden I see the monster truck park in the parking lot and buttface comes out. Why is here? Anyways I need to tell Riley I can't do the trick.

I try to tell Riley that I don't want to do our 'super cool soccer trick' (that's what we call it.) But she takes my hand signals the wrong way and thinks  mean 'Good luck'.

 We are gonna fail.

The whistle indicated that the game has started.

I pass the ball just past the starting line where Riley kicks it a little ahead but then kicks it back. The boys all are confused. When they see I have the ball, they charge for me. Why do they have to be so tall and scary. Riley quickly gets in an open spot. I am really close to Zack.It made my butterflies go berserk and I pass it to her quickly. Good thing it was and the right time because we have our perfect angle for our 'super cool soccer trick.'
