Pulling a Krashlyn

Abby's P.O.V.

After I get home, I text Cheney.

Did Tobin mention anything about Thalia after you all left? ~Abby

Actually, yeah. Arod and I got her to confess that she's in love. ~Cheney

We got Thalia to admit the same thing. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? ~Abby

Pulling a Krashlyn? ~Cheney

Yup. ~Abby

When? ~Cheney

This weekend. We can have a hang-together at my place. I'll make sure Alex, Pinoe, Hope, and Carli know about the plan if you make sure Arod knows. ~Abby

Can do. ~Cheney

Perfect. See you tomorrow! ~Abby

See ya! ~Cheney

I go onto a group text with Pinoe, Alex, Carli, and Hope. ((A.N: "Polar Bear" is Carli, "Badass Goalie" is Hope, "Baby Horse" is Alex, and "Pinoe" is Pinoe.))

Hey, guys! ~Abby

Hey Abby! ~Baby Horse

Hey! ~Polar Bear

Yo. ~Badass Goalie

Sup? ~Pinoe

So, Cheney and I have been texting together, and she says that she and Arod got Tobin to admit that she has a crush on Thalia. ~Abby

Great! ~Baby Horse

So we're pulling a Krashlyn on them? ~Pinoe

Yup. I'm going to organize a hang-together at my place on Saturday. We'll do it then. ~Abby

Sounds like a plan. ~Polar Bear

Hope, I'm probably going to need your help getting the Squirt into the closet. She may look small, but she's all muscle. ~Abby

Can do. ~Badass Goalie.

Should we tell the rest of the team? ~Baby Horse

Sure. Just keep it on the DL. Oh, and don't tell Krashlyn. I don't trust them to keep their mouths shut. ~Abby

Will do. ~Pinoe

Alright. good chat. see you all tomorrow. ~Abby

See ya! ~Polar Bear

Bye. ~Badass Goalie

Later! ~Pinoe

Bye, Abby. ~Baby Horse

Thalia's P.O.V.

By the end of the week, I'm exhausted, but happy. "Hey, Squirt." Abby says as we leave the soccer field. "We have this thing we do occasionally, called a 'hang-together'. Basically, we all gather at someone's house and just hang out. We're having one on Saturday at my place. Can you come?" "Sure." I say. The next day, I walk over to Abby's house. As soon as I walk in the door, I'm grabbed by Abby and Hope. I struggle, desperately trying to get free, but Abby and Hope are too strong. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see that Tobin is having the same struggle with her two best friends, Lauren Cheney and Amy Rodriguez. They eventually get me and Tobin into a closet together and lock the door. "Abby, let us out!" I yell, banging on the door. "Nope!" Abby says. "Not until you confess to each other." "Oh, no." Tobin says. "No. You are not pulling a Krashlyn on us." "that's exactly what we're doing, Tobs." Abby says. "Pulling a Krashlyn?" I ask, confused. "You know Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris?" Tobin asks. "Yeah." I said. "Well, they're dating. 'Krashlyn' is their ship name. It's always been totally obvious that they're in love with each other, but for the longest time, neither of them would tell the other about their feelings. So what the rest of us did was we locked them in a closet until they admitted their feelings to each other. And that's what they're doing to us." "Is there any other way out?" I asked. "Nope." Tobin said. "It's either confess, or be stuck in here forever." we sat in silence for about five minutes. "Have you two confessed yet?" Abby asks. "No." Tobin says. "Shut up, Abby. Can't you just let it go?" "Nope." Abby says. "Come on, Abby!" I beg. "Please!" "That's not gonna work, Squirt." Abby says. "Nice try, though." Tobin and I sit in silence for a few moments longer, then Tobin grabs my hands. "I can't stand it." she says. "Thalia, I love you. I've loved you from the moment I met you. You're a beautiful girl and a damn good soccer player. There. I've said it. Now you can get pissed." "Tobin, I'm not pissed." I said. "I love you too. You're the nutmeg queen and the footwork queen, and you're really pretty." "You really feel that way?" Tobin asks, surprised. "Yeah." I say. "I do. Do you feel that way about me?" "Yeah." Tobin says quietly, her warm brown eyes staring into my bright green ones. "I do." there's only a gap of a few inches between us, but Tobin closes it. Our lips meet in a sweet kiss. When we break apart, Tobin put her arm around my shoulder. "I love you, Thalia." she says. "I love you too, Tobin." I say. Abby knocks on the door. "Yo! Lovebirds!" she calls. "Have you confessed yet?" "Yes, we have!" Tobin says. "Now let us out of the damn closet!" "Fine." Abby says, opening the door. We both throw up our hands to shield them from the sudden light. "Did you really confess?" Cheney asks. Tobin grabs my hand, intertwining her fingers with mine. "Yeah, we did." she says. "Who confessed first?" Arod asks. "Tobin." I say. "Really?" Cheney asks, surprised. "I didn't think Tobin would have the guts to go first." "Shut up, Cheney." Tobin says.
