Is This Real?

Chapter V

Jade POV
I woke up and I had one thing in my mind. Tryouts. I'm a goalie at my school and starting goalie for my club team.

I looked at the clock. 3:50. Good. I have ten minutes to get ready.

I got out of bed and got on a Nike sports bra and Nike Free-Runs. And if you can't tell, I'm a little bit obsessed with Nike. Wait, let me take that back. Very obsessed with Nike. What do I have in my closet that's not Nike?! Anywho, I put on all of the running gear and headed out the door. I took a deep breath and started running, turning my music on in the process.

I ran my usual route and headed back home. I opened the front door and walked in. I took a quick shower and got ready for school.

I looked around my room. I got my soccer stuff and and all my homework. Good. I thought and walked back out if the door and into my new car. I smiled as I put the key into the ignition and drove to school. I got the the school and went straight to the soccer field.

Good it's empty. I thought and got my cleats on. I did some sprints and saw the coach.

"Hey coach." I said walking over to him.

"Hello Jade, doing well I hope?" He asked.

I folded my arms. "Yeah. I hope so too. New season, new girls. Who do you thinks gonna  make it?"

"I know Cassy will be a captain for the JV team. Definitely. And you will defiantly be playing 90 minutes is most of the games for them this year. Starter. I got an email from a coach the other day from San Jose and apparently their sending over a prodigy. I have no idea who she is but she's been captain of a lot of her teams. Except she's been moving quite a bit. I want you and Cassy to go get to know her a little bit, make sure she's not alone." He instructed.

"Yeah I can do that." I answered. I wonder who she is.

"Great. I know I can count on you, Reinwald." He pat my back and walked away into the guys locker room.

New prodigy huh? I'm excited to see what she looks like on the field. I thought and went to my first period class.

The class was buzzing about the new "hot girl" that came to our school.

My first period was math and usually was my class to just zone out and think about soccer. But this new girl talk was always around me. The guys were all crushing on her and the girls just wanted to be her. Could that be the new prodigy that coach was talking about? I thought to myself. Attractive and talented. What more could a girl want?

After a while, the bell rang and I filed out of calls to my next class. The day dragged on and finally, the final bell rang and I almost jumped out of my seat to get to soccer tryouts.

I got to the field and got all of my gear on. I ran out into the field and ran up to the coach.

"Show 'em how it's done Reinwald." He said and I ran to the post where the GK coach was waiting do the others.

"Ah, how is my favorite 'keeper doing?" He asked. He had a sweet spot for me ever since last year, I was the starting goalie for the team.

"Very good, how is my favorite GK coach doing?" I asked back.

"Well, I mean all I have to do is pretend to test the others but I already know the outcome. I know how most of them play. I've been to some of their club games and I've figured out their skill level. Took notes and whatnot." He said nonchalantly.
