"Hey babe." Alex says laying next to me on my bed.

"Hey beautiful." I say.

Alex smiles and I learn over and pull her in for a kiss. I wrap my arms around her body to pull her in closer to me.

"As much as I would like to continue this we have practice in about 5 minuets." Alex say pulling away from me.

I groan and get out of bed. Alex was still laying down so I reached my hand out and she grabs. I pull her up and in for a hug. We both grabbed our soccer things and headed to the field. Its pretty damn cool having your girlfriend as your roommate. She was there for me when I needed her and that just improved our connection on the field.

"What are you thinking about?" Alex ask.

We were holding hands walking through the quad.

"Everything really but mostly you." I say.

"Your cute." Alex says.

"How'd you know I was thinking about something?" I ask.

"You press your lips together making your dimples show, and get really quite."

We looked around at the rest of the buildings that UC Berkeley had. We walked by a fraternity house and a few of the assholes who lived there started whistling and calling at us. I felt Alex tense and pulled her into me.

"Don't worry about those ass clowns they won't hurt you as long as your with me." I say into her ear.

"I love you." Alex says.

"I love you too Lex."

We make it to the soccer field and head into the locker room. Some of the girls were already here and the rest of them better get here because Coach is evil. We were called out onto the field and a few of the girls were just heading into the locker room.

"Get on the line." Coach says.

We don't groan because last time we did we were running for even longer. We ran all of practice which happened to be an hour and a half if you were wondering. Alex and I headed to Subway and picked up some food before heading back to our room.

"I'm not going to be able to feel my legs tomorrow." Alex says.

"Me and your both princess." I say.

"Don't start!" Alex whines.

She hates when I call her princess so now I just do it to annoy her sometimes, I'm a great girlfriend. I just laugh and pull out my sub. When we're both done we head to the showers and hop in. No we didn't take a shower together we've only been dating for a few months. When we got out we both finished up some homework we had for class in the morning and went to bed. I was woken up by my alarm going off and 5:30 am. We had a weight training session at 6 and classes didn't start until 7:30. I woke up Alex and we both headed out. There are only a few cafes and shops that open this early so we stopped at one and grabbed a smoothie and something light to keep on our stomachs. When we got to the weight room we saw Coach talking with some other people. I shrugged it off and went and started my workout. Halfway through Coach called Alex and I out of the weight room and into one of the offices that were in here.

"Y/N, Alex this is Michelle French she is the head coach on the U-20 women's national team." Coach says.

"It's nice to meet you." I say.

"The pleasure is all mine." French says.

"So what's going on?" Alex ask.

"We'll I want you both to come to a training camp so I can evaluate you. You guys have an amazing connection on the field and you both are well rounded individuals. I've seen a few of your games and I want to see what you've got." French says.

"So what you do say?" Coach ask.

"Yes!" Alex and I say at the same time.

We look at each other and laugh.

"Okay great, I've left the information with your coach about everything. But if you have any questions he has my number and I'm only a phone call away." French says.

Alex and I both shake her hand before going back to our workouts. When we were done we headed back to our rooms and took another shower because who wants to smell like sweat all day? We got out and headed to class.

-Skipping Classes Because In all Honesty who cares?-

" An hour of math, I can't." Alex says.

"Babe, its not that bad. I mean its long as fuck but it easy." I say.

"It's not as bad as English which we have to type a 5 page essay."

"Nobody every said college was going to be easy."

"Yeah but they sure as hell didn't say it was going to be this hard."

I laugh and open my arms so Alex can get into them. We both lay down on my bed and fall asleep in each other's arms.

Few weeks Later

"I can't believe this is happening!" Alex yells.

"Me either." I say.

We're on our way to the airport to go to camp. The plane ride wasn't too bad considering I've basically been on planes all my life and it was only a few hours. The camp was in Colorado, and can I just say its freezing. Like I've never been this cold in my life! We had gotten to the hotel and put our things away, Alex and I were rooming together. French told us to get ready and meet her on the field. We were staying at a training center so the field was just outside the dorms. I had on layers of clothing but just enough so I could still move with ease. Alex and I were sitting down talking when I looked up and saw the bright blonde I never wanted to see again. Her blue eyes met my Y/E/C ones and I swear time stopped. Julie Johnston, I knew you were going to be the death of me...
