It was Soccer tryouts and Yogurt was right. Billy and Joey were on the team and giving me thumbs up. I put on a beanie and a clip to hold my hair. The couch thankfully let me keep it on. We were doing a scrimmage which is like a game, but it's not. Just practice. It is really simple to me because i played back at home since 3rd grade. I was on a team with Joey and Snuffy and Hank. Ricardo and Billy where on other team. Joey was our goalie and Snuffy and Hank guy were on defense. The game started and the other team got the ball first.
Some guy was coming at me with the ball. When he got close, he wasn't looking up but down at the ball. I swiped it from his feet and continued with it, as people charged at me i would roll the ball out of reach and continue. The ball played in my feet before i got close enough to get a goal. I kicked the ball and Billy, who was the goalie missed the ball by a fingertip. I ran back to my side.
The score was now 10 to 3. If we got one more score, the game would be over and we would win. If the other team scored they would win. The other team got the ball and was charging our way.
I looked around frantically. Trying to think of a new plan. I had remembered something my coach taught me in the 12th grade. Sliding through someones legs before they kick they kick the ball. One guy lost his eye while trying it but i was willing to try. I motioned my hand back, signaling everyone to fall back. I waited for the guy with the ball to lift his leg up to kick before sprinting and sliding through his legs with the ball at my feet. I ran quickly to the other goal and kicked it hard
The ball flung right in. Billy stood there shocked, I saluted him before running back to my team. He grinned and shook his head.
As i was hugging everyone i felt my wrap start to come loose. I froze "Uh... I gotta piss" I said before running off. I was stopped by the coach "Congrats. You're on the team" He grinned "That's great sir but really. I-I gotta go" I said as i felt it becoming more and more loose.
I sprinted all the way to the bathroom and slammed it shut. I hid inside a stall and flung my shirt off. I took my wrap and readjusted in before clipping it back together.
"No more loose boobs" I smiled and stepped out of the stall. I walked out of the bathroom to be greeted by all the boys yelling. We exchanged fist bumps and rubbed the hair on our head. I bumped into Billy "I didn't know you were actually good a soccer" he laughed and i shrugged "You thought i wasn't gonna be good at a girl voice but hey" i shrugged and he shoved me "Alright! Let's celebrate!" Joey yelled and we all cheered.
