Chapter 1: How Could I forget..

Chapter 1: How Could I forget..

I tied up my boot on the bench. The huge stadium was empty and quite silent. I dropped my foot from the bench and it echoed silently throughout the arena. The stench from my bag was unfortunately really bad and strong. 

I pulled out my pink pro wrap and tore a piece off, tying it together. I slipped it over my head and pulled my hair back. I remember when I played with guys instead of girls, the girls back in Ireland were to girly for my liking. 

~Flashback~

I walked out toward the bench and toward my team. Blake and Niall ran up beside me and tried to grab my bag, I yanked it out of their hands and kept walking. 

"Guys, I am not a princess I can carry my own bag" I laughed. At the time we were 13 or 14. 

Being the youngest player on the team, and the only girl, the guys on the team treated me like I was a 6 year old child. I tossed my bag on the ground and jogged over to my spot on the field ie striker. 

Niall jogged next to me, standing over the ball. He was staring at the bleachers behind me smiling. I rolled my eyes. Of course he was looking at the most popular girls in grade 9. 

More like the most idiotic..

I turned around to look at them. Right as they saw me, Ashlee scowled cruelly. The girls started to boo me on the field for my existence. I hung my head as the tears welled in my eyes. 

Soon the whole field was just a loud chorus of boo's and parents or boys yelling at me to get off the field and let the boys play. 

The ref stared at me concerned. Coach Dave called the team over for another pre game pep talk. Instead of him going straight to the goalie what he usually does, he came to me. 

"Keera, Are you okay?" he asked worriedly. 

I nodded silently trying not to make eye contact with any of the boys on my team who were staring at me. 

"Ya I'm fine coach. Let's just go beat the shit out them." I answered quietly. 

I walked away from the group and onto the field wiping the tears away and ignoring the constant screams to get off the field. 

The ref walked back toward me and grabbed my shoulder. 

"Listen sweetie, don't listen to them, they are just jealous and idiots, play your heart out." he said smiling. 

The group of boys I am afraid to call my team mates, walked towards me. They circled around me huddling, all of them had smirks on their faces. 

"WHO ARE WE?!" they all screamed. 

" WILDCATS WILDCATS!" I screamed as loud as I could. 

"WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?" they screamed back. 

"KICK SOME DUBLIN ASS!!" I yelled. 

"WILD CATS ON 3, 1,2,3 WILDCATS!!" we all screamed. 

All the boys came up and kissed my cheek lightly. Niall was the last one, he smiled and winked playfully at me. 

That was when everything changed the next few years. 

~Flashback Ended~

The years past and honeslty, Those girls just got meaner, rudder and stupider. They always were rude to me, teasing me about soccer and all. 

I swear I could have punched all of them, but again, that would be animal abuse. But now I guess it would be hard to punch them from England now wouldn't it? 

My coach walked through the gates and smiled. I rolled my ball out onto the grass and took a wild shot that surprisingly hit the top right corner of the net. 

Pipa Lynch my striker partner, dropped her bag next to mine. She had been my best friend for about a year now and had a amazing kick. 

She had long blonde hair of course in her usual high ponytail, tall and muscular pale skin and bright green eyes. 

"Hey Keera! What's up?" she asked nicely. 

"Nothing, ready fro the game tonight? We have to kick Doncasters ass" I answered in my thick Irish accent. 

She chuckled. She has always loved my voice and mocked me about it. She was from Italy and knew Italian extremely well. 

"Ya, is Dani coming?" she tied up her boots. 

"Yep and her boyfriend I have never met but heard so much about and his friends." I sigh. 

"That's gonna be amazing." she sighed sarcastically. "But are they hot?" 

**~**

Niall's P.O.V: 

"MY HAIR!!!!" Zayn screamed. "MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!" 

I rolled my eyes. I kept munching on the bag of pretzels. Liam was making us all go to his girlfriend Dani's best friends football game, or soccer game as the Americans call it. 

He wanted us to be on our best behaviour, of course, because Danielle had said she was from Ireland and was shy and not a big talker. Liam also warned Harry that if he dared to hit on her, his beautiful lush curls would soon be straightened. 

(Liam's words not mine) 

He also warned Louis about not scaring her out of her mind. Louis could be a bit... different  at times without even trying. 

Thank god, I didn't need to be warned. We knew nothing about this girl but Dani, of course told us all about her. She could never come over with Danielle because of her soccer games, practices or drylands took up most of her time. 

Danielle said she was short, muscular, a brunette with ombre long hair, with dark blue eyes and a silent personality but was a mean soccer player and quite a amazing one. 

Girls shouldn't be amazing soccer players. Only Keera Blake was good at soccer. She was my best friend back in Ireland. 

I miss her...

But she hates me now...
