Nina gets obliged to move from her home town.
Leaving her family, friends and most importantly football team behind.
After being the captain of her team she gets put face to face with the hardships of starting it all over again, from scratch, from...
I got woken up by Mom calling my name telling me I am late. Not that I cared, I wasn't such a loser at school neither straight A student. I was okay, you know what I mean.
"Nina, wake up! You're late, your cereal is ready dear. Hurry up!" I groaned and went to the bathroom.
As soon as I finished dressing up I rushed down the stairs with my bag feeling the tiny bit of disappointment for missing my morning hike.

"You were almost late!" Lottie said waiting by my locker, I walked to her and opened it before starting to exchange the books in my bag with the ones for my day's schedule.
"Almost," I smiled falsely, "oh, I'm not having lunch today."
"Why?"
"Busy, I'm going to make up my team." I said gesturing to the poster of the new girls football team, hope enough girls would be waiting at the field then.
"Oh, good luck then!" We both walked to class as the bell went off. The day went on uneventful till I went to the field to find a rather large group of people waiting.
"I think that's her,"
"Oh that's the girl who won over the boys' football team!"
"What was her name?"
"I think it was Nina Statham,"
I walked hearing all the gossip around me, I almost grimaced because football players don't gossip. It's going to be a long day.
"Okay! Hello everyone!!" I stood at the ring and clapped my hand for attention and silence, when I got them I proceeded, "Name is Nina Statham, Captain of the soon to be girls football team. Nice to meet some of you! And some of you not," fake sweet mood was on.
"Count yourselves!" I shouted walking around the ring, there was loud murmuring among the group till a petite girl with glasses on voiced out.
"28 girls, we are 28."
She had a bored tone along with a bored posture, she looked serious about the whole thing. I nodded firmly, "now show me what you got! I only need half of you, you need to prove to me you are worth being on my team!" I shouted pointing as the balls box and after they registered what I was saying they started moving.
After a few minutes of me literally losing faith in life I shouted again, "Three lopes, all of you! Now!" I said and so they all did, I watched as some fell to the floor at the first half of lope one.
Who won't complete at least two full lopes then they're out, if some were slow but completed the mission nonetheless then at least they got potential.
