The Player Swap Up

Chapter 23

Hey guys.

I'm back.

Still not okay but I figured I'd just update.

Anyway this weekend was the US Women's game.

Guys when I saw Abby Wambach. I cried. Like burst into tears. Then Sunday I saw Alex, and legit. Dead. Omg.

I'll put pictures up with each chapter.

Before I knew it it was Wednesday and I was heading to the stadium. I went through the back and saw Coach talking with the assistants.

I walked up and greeted everyone.

"Alex we got you something." Coach started. She went to a cardboard box and handed it to me. It was all taped up in one of those ways that makes you want to punch a wall.

You know the kind?

That box took me fifteen minutes to open. All the while the coaches are video taping me and watching me struggle.

When I finally did get it open there were packing peanuts. I glared up at Jill, "Seriously? This better not be empty."

She held her hands up. "It's not."

I dug through those irritating little peanuts until I found a bubble wrapped object.

"For God sakes!!" I exclaimed

I ripped it open, after three times of trying, and saw a jacket. A jacket all the coaches have.

It was embroidered to say 'Assistant Coach Alex. (Temporarily)'.

"Aww it's awesome! Thanks fellow coaches." I said as I gave them all hugs.

"Temporary fellow coaches. I don't want you thinking you can do whatever you want when you get back." Jill laughed

"Let's be honest. I do that anyway." I joked

"Yeah yeah. Let's get out there temporary fellow coach." She said leading the way to the tunnel.

We were totally kicking butt by the second half! We were up by two goals already!

Let me tell you, Benzema, is a brilliant player. Absolutely brilliant.

I was all ramped up and wanting to get on the field at the sixth minute. "Oh I wish I could play!" I kept saying

Jill rolled her eyes. "Having you on the bench was a bad idea. You are getting too rambunctious." *I would've said my short version for that word which is 'rammy'. But tisnt proper english. :) *

Which was true. I can get very hyper.

I am horrible on rainy days.

At the end of the match I was so wound up coach actually told me to go run around the locker four times.

"Alex. Go home, get some of that energy out." Jill laughed

I told the girls I'd meet up with them for dinner and went home. I did crunches and leg ups for an hour.

I felt much better after that.
