Soccer 4 Geeks #2

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Hey guys! It's a new year, and a new beginning! So much has changed over this summer. All for the good I guess.

Amanda has been head over heels for Nick, Ben's best friend, and I'm not sure what their relationship is to tell you the truth. Who knows? Maybe something happened, and they are dating, but all I know is, is that they're getting really close to one another.

After winning the soccer championships last year, I've been working out a lot, and pushing myself to get better.

(Flashback from book #1)

I walk up to the ball, and take a deep breath. I back up, and then run towards the ball. I kick it towards the goal, and it..........

It makes it! The goalie seemed like she wasn't even paying attention! She just stood there until she realized I had kicked it, and tried to dive for it, but it just rolled right by her hands. Dumby.

Everyone, from the crowd to my own team mates, ran towards me, and lifted me up onto their shoulders. Everyone kept on chanting my name, and it became a night I would never forget.

(Falshback from book #1 over)

Zach and I are still together, and he has done so much for me this summer. Taking me out on dates, training with me so he can also get better at soccer, and he even gave me incredible news.

He transferred to our school, so we'll be at the same school, and see each other everyday! Also, because I think he doesn't want to be on a losing soccer team. Ha.

I haven't seen or talked to Ben all summer, and I haven't talked to Brandon, but I did see him at a local ice cream shop a couple times. Appartently, he works there, and I've been there a thousand times, and never saw him there. Maybe it was just a summer job?

Well, there's my summer all wrapped up, but now, school starts back up, and I can already tell, it's going to be a long year.

First Day of School:

I wake up to realizing I'm now a junior. I no longer have to go on the bus, and have Amanda, Abagail, Sara, and Zach as my friends.

I get out of bed, and take a quick shower. I then pick out a dress that I've been saving for awhile now for this particular day. It is a light blue dress that has spaghetti straps. It has pink, purple, and white flowers all around and it's a dress that goes down to mid thigh in front, and then flows all the way down in back. To go with this lovely dress, I have picked out a pair of white high heeled wedges with straps wrapping around my feet and a lace strap across the front.

After getting dressed, I went to my bathroom to brush out my brown, long, wavy hair. (Oh! Did I mention I got a complete makeover? Hehe. The pic up top is the new me!) I also put on some light eye shadow, mascara, and some lip gloss. I then grabbed my school bag, phone, wallet, and sunglasses, and walked downstairs to eat breakfast.

After cleaning up, I grab my stuff and my car keys off the table, and head outside to my car. I place my things into the trunk, and make my way to the driver's seat. I buckle up, and put my sunglasses on. I pushed a button on the dashboard, and the roof of my car, folded down. I turned the radio on, and put the key into ignition. I backed out of my driveway, and headed to school.

When I got there, Amanda was already parked, and waiting for me by the big tree we stand by. Once I'm fully out of the car, Amanda jumps on me, not literally, and gives me a great big bear hug.

"Hey!" she squeals.

"Hi. Can you let go? I can't breathe," I ask after laughing a little.

"Oh sorry," she joins into the laugh. Just then, I feel arms wrap around my waist.
