Soccer player becomes a Rockstar? (On Hold)

Chapter 3

After Tom and I left Mr. Raymond class, we headed to our lockers to put our books away and for me to take my soccer bag out. We met with Julie at the schools door, we said good bye to Tom and we headed to the soccer field which was all the way at the very back, we had a little stadium to hold at the most 6,000 people. When we arrived at the stadium we walked to our lockers and begun to change.

"Are you excited J.J?, because im freaking happy that soccer is starting again"

"Yeah, this is always the best part of school, do you think we can actually have a great team this year? cuz remember the seniors last year didn't even make it to the semifinals"

"I hope so, this is our chance and i won't let anyone stop us from going to the world cup" I said with determination in my eyes. "Come on lets go and have a talk with the coach, she can't be soft this year with the girls that suck" I didn't wait for J.J to respond as I headed out of the locker rooms and began my way to the soccer field.

Last year coach Lloyd was our coach too at the junior team, she didn't have the heart to cut the girls who couldn't even know how to kick the ball, the team was miserable, fortunately me and J.J played for the junior and the senior team, but only for the local tournament.

"Hey coach, how was your summer?"

"It was amazing, thank you for asking, how about yours Ash?"

"It was good, I wanted to have the chance to train with David De Gea, but my dad told me that he had a family emergency, but I did train with Manchester's goalkeepers coach, so I'm ready for this year"

"Good to know Ash, Im going to get what we need for tryouts"

"Wait coach can you do me a huge favor?"

"It depends on what it is"

"I want to ask you to please don't be nice and actually cut the girls who suck, before you say anything hear me out. This is our senior year, our last year here, you know that most of the girls who have been with us since the beginning dream with the world cup, and you are one of the few people who actually knows how hard I've worked to be the best and to go and compete in that cup, so please I beg you to select a great team and maybe the ones who you know are bad you can send them to coach Ellis, so they can improve" I said with a begging voice.

"I'll think about it Ash, lets see who comes to the tryouts and we work from there ok? Actually You won't be training, you'll help me grade the girls and then we can't compare notes and debate who makes the team, how does that sound?"

"Amazing!! Thank you coach"

We separated the girls into two teams, the coach graded one and me the other with a little help from J.J. I helped the coach with everything, from explaining the exercise, to actually do it when they didn't get it, I also kept record of their timing and how much coordination each girl had. At the end of the day I was exhausted and frustrated, only a few girls from my side were good and only one was great.

Me and J.J pick up everything we used and took it to the storage room, after that we looked for the coach and sit down with her at her office.

"Please tell me that your side was awesome, because mine sucked" I told the coach

"Come on Ash, we did have like 6 girls who can actually play, and with training they'll become really good" Said J.J

"Fine but the rest of them sucked" I mean come on, if you had 30 girls on your side you'll think that at least half of them would be fine or good, but no, only 6 of them.

"Take it easy Ash, if we at least can agree on 10 girls we can do a second tryout and see how they do, sounds fine to you?, on my side I have at least 18 girls who are fine or good, so tomorrow we can do the second tryout and we can watch them and come to a final decision ok?"
