The Love Of Soccer

Soccer

Anna's POV

I ran to the net. Adam was right behind me. As we got ready for the first shot I had to say, "Listen Adam, you have to remember I'm not as good as you, I can't barley do keep ups and my kick are okay. I think the only thing I can do is dive... somewhat" I said.

"I don't care. I'll teach you" he said with a smile. Adam was the nicest guy I knew, the only guy who's not judgemental. He smiled at me and got ready to take a shot. "Don't go so hard I said" laughing at how scared I was.

"Don't worry I won't kill you on the first shot." He smiled. And he backed away, lifted his foot into the air... and took the shot. A simple shot, from the middle to the corner, somewhere in there. I was able to do a collapsing save.

"You suck eh?" He smirked.

"I can't do freestyle or kick but I can't dive either. Try an upper 90's shot, it's gunna be hard for me to save. Basically cuz I never trained with those" I laughed.

"Okay time for hard shots." He smirked again.

This time he curved the ball. It was going out, and then it curved in. I tried to save it. It was going to be an upper 90's save. Upper 90's saves are my weakness. My fingers just touched the ball but it was so hard that it went in. I layed on the grass.

"See" I said, my face burried in the grass. Adam walked up to me. "Don't worry, that was a hard shot. And you started not too long ago, we'll train every day and you'll get better. You already know what you need to do, how to do it. All you need now is someone to kick balls at you" he laughed? Ruining his speech. My head still burried in the grass, I agreed.

"Every day after school, until we can't practice out her anymore." He said. "And lunches too" he added. I finally turned so my back was on the grass and my head facing up. Adam was sitting beside me, and he decided to lay down.

"You wanna practice keep ups?" He offered. But I denied.

"Tomorrow. When I have re-gained my energy" I laughed. He laughed with me. We both layed beside each other in the grass for a while. We would probably stay here until the bell rang. And I don't think Adam would mind. I really enjoyed finally spending time with my crush. I remember when we weren't in class together... and then that first class that we actually had together, oh my.

Anna's POV

"oH MY GOD IMAN LOOK IT'S ADAM HE'S RIGHT THERE LOOK AT HIM IT'S THE FIRST CLASS I HAVE WITH HIM OH MY GOD I JUST CAN'T EVEN" I fangirled to my best friend, Iman. She was Arabic, but had light skin and light brown hair.

"Anna you're head over heels for him just go talk to him already" she began " Everyone already knows you like him."

"Yeah everyone knows 'cause you tell everyone!" I said. "And I'm not going to talk to him because texting him is enough" I argued. I was way to shy to even stand beside him.

This week we were doing rock climbing so the girls and guys classes were mixed for gym. I went over to get my harness. It was the first day and I already knew what I was doing, I went rock climbing before.

The lady who was basically teaching us sat us down and began explaining, "Okay so for day one, you guys are mostly going to be sitting" so, everyone just sat down. Until she told the boys and girls to actually sit together. "Oh come on girls, the boys won't bite! You're all acting like 3rd graders" she laughed.

So the boys and the girls all sat together. But there was still a line between us. Until Liam decided to start being stupid. He came and sat right beside me. And I tried moving away, but he just came beside me again and again.

I didn't know if it was Adam or someone else, but someone finally made Liam stop. I hate when he does that because he's already dating someone!

The bell rang and class ended. Everyone got up and ran for the changeroom, what a boring start.

"So did you have fun staring at Adam?" Iman asked.

"I'm not going to talk to him" I said as I walked into the changroom. The boys and girls got forced into one because the boys changeroom was under construction. I don't know what they even do in there, but they managed to destroy it. Luckily, the girls changeroom had stalls, so everyone was able to change and get out quickly. Except for Adam, Liam, Iman and I. Me and Iman usually stay later to just talk about whatever. Adam and Liam stay back to play soccer, which is probably what they were planning on doing. But I dont get why, because it really seemed like they hated each other, but what proof did I have. For all I knew they were 'bro's. Finally, Iman spoke up.

"What are you guys still doing here?" She asked.

"We're going to play soccer" Adam replied.

"Well go play outside" she said.

"Well why are you guys here?" Liam argued.

"Because we always stay here and talk" Iman said.

"We always stay and play soccer" Liam said.

"Well we're not leaving" Iman said.

"Fine" Liam said.

I wanted to argue but, I was too shy to talk in front of Adam. So me and Iman just did what we usually do, we just ignored the boys. Occasionally, Liam would ask when we'd leave, but we'd just ignore them. So then they eventually left. Adam walked by me and his hand brushed my hair as I was sitting. I look up at him, he looked back smiled.
