USWNT - High School

Chapter 31

Can we just take a moment to realize the fact that I've created something that makes you SHIP Kelley and Moe (like possibly more than O'Solo?) haha, I'm as surprised as you are.

Apologies for a little messed up updates lately, the Olympics and the timezones are messing with me.

Loving the feedback, you guys are great:)

Tobin's POV

"Look out!" Alex yelled out as she made the shot, taking Ashlyn unaware of the incoming ball on the goal. The goalkeeper quickly adjusted though, and made a killer reaction save in the process.

"Nice, Harris." I said, as I gave her a thumbs up. She smiled proudly back, giving Alex a more relieved look that she hadn't shot it harder or directly at her face or anything.

Ashlyn, Ali, Alex and I had decided to train a little in the park on this Saturday morning, all of us aching to know more details on everything going on these days. Kelley hadn't told too much about what's happening with Hope now that she remembers, considering it was just yesterday that they were together, but I'm still curious. She was supposed to text when she got home yesterday, but neither Alex or I got any text at all.

"You okay?" Alex suddenly stood next to me, leaning her arm around my shoulders. I snapped out of my thoughts and smiled as soon as I met her eyes to my side.

"I'm great, that was a good shot." I referred to her almost-goal earlier, and she raised her eyebrows in response to it.
"It was a better save." She said simple, and I couldn't deny that it wasn't. Ashlyn had after all saved the shot.

"Kelley's okay. You don't have to worry." Alex spoke again, practically reading my mind. She gets me like no one else does, it's incredible.

"I know. But I worry anyways." I said honest, carefully resting my hand around her waist to keep her close to me. She sighed.
"I know you do." She let out close to whispering, and looked at me with a tiny smile.

Her hand touched my face and removed some of the messy hairs from my ponytail. She looked me rather intensely, and I felt my heart jump at the sight of her eyes staring this way at me. I don't think I'll ever get used to it, having this perfect girl look at me like that.

I'm quickly falling for every single piece of her, every imperfection and flaw, even though I find those to be few. She's perfectly imperfect, and I don't know how I could ever treat her as good as she deserves, but I'm trying my best to be good enough for her every single day.

"Aw, look at you guys." Ashlyn suddenly spoke up behind us, slightly mocking tone in her voice. We both looked up towards the older girls, now standing close together as well a little further away.

"Remember that newbie can't-keep-ours-hands-to-ourselves feeling we had in the beginning, it's actually kinda cute." Ashlyn continued, mocking how we were kinda pretty much obsessed with each other. However, I don't ever see that going away. I don't know how I could ever not want to touch her, or kiss her, or hug her. I want that all the time.

"You're still not over that, stop kidding yourself." Ali joked back, referring to the steady hand Ashlyn had around Ali's waist. Alex and I both cracked a smile, seeing the smug smile on Ali's face from annoying her girlfriend. Ashlyn rolled her eyes and removed her arm, only to playfully push Ali away before grabbing her back into the goalie's arms.

They're honestly every goal I want in a relationship. They're mature and honest, loyal and confident in each other. They don't have to be together every second of every day, but at the end of the day if the opportunity strikes, they always find a way to be anyways. They're not annoying to be around, like those clingy couples, probably the way Alex and I are at the moment but we'll work on that. They're fun and playful still after years of going out.
