Soccer School

I spend the rest of the day with the girls, who give me the nickname of "Squirt". "Right here is the best part of the day." Abby says when school ends. "What?" I ask. "Soccer school." Abby says. "We get together with a bunch of our friends and play soccer." We walk to a local park, where a bunch of other girls are waiting. "Hey Abby!" One of the girls says. "Who's this with you?" "This is Thalia Skywalker." Abby says. "She's new at Lakewood." "I'm Tobin Heath." The girl says. "I go to Mountainview High." She's pretty, with brown hair in a messy bun, tanned skin, and warm brown eyes. "Nice to meet you." I say. "So, are we gonna play soccer or what?" Abby asks. We split up into two teams and begin to play. My team ends up winning four goals to two. I score two of those goals on assists from Abby. "Good game, Squirt." Pinoe says. "Thanks." I say. "I noticed that you had your eyes on a certain midfielder." Alex says, nudging me. "I don't know what you're talking about." I say. "Oh, sure you do." Alex says, grinning. "A certain Tobin Powell Heath?" I blush bright red. "Shut up, Alex." I mutter. "Wait." Abby says. "You're blushing, and you just told Alex to shut up, which is Pinoe's thing when she knows she's lost an argument. You do have a crush on Tobin!" "Fine." I say irritably. "I like Tobin. But if anyone tells her I like her, so help me god I will kill you." "Oh, don't worry." Pinoe says. "She likes you back." she catches my glare. "But I won't tell her, I promise." she adds hastily.
