Sunday went by slowly, I woke up, got my soccer cleats and clothes on, then I headed out to the fields to practice my power shots at the goal. A few other people had the same idea as me but, no sight of curly or his boyfriend. A little bit later, Ed showed up. We talked and practiced. Then I had decided to ask him why One Direction had split up. He had then pretended to get a call from his mum asking him how he was doing. After his "Call" was over, he said he had to leave.
After that Monday- the first official day of my soccer practices- came around. I left at around 1:30 to get to practice that started at 2:00. When I got to the fields, there was nobody there. I saw a sign that said "ELITE U-18 TEAMS PRACTICE HERE!!!" I put my green duffel bag down on the grass and took out my green soccer ball and started to stretch out. More people started showing up as it got closer for practice to begin.
"Cool cleats!" I hear somebody say to me. I look up from my stretches to see where the voice came from. A girl about the same age I am was standing over me, she was really short with dirty blonde hair, and glasses. "Oh...thanks." I say to her looking at my blue and neon green Nike cleats. "What position do you play?" she asked me. "Oh...um offence." I responded. "Cool. I play left midfielder." I played left offence so I guess that we would be seeing each other quite often. "My name is Caitlin by the way." she says. "I'm Kayla." I say to Caitlin. "When is this coach going to get here?" asks Caitlin "Right now." says a man around 40 standing behind her.
"Hello! My name is William but you can call me Coach Will or just Coach." He says introducing himself. "Yes...Mr.Coach...Will....SIR!" Caitlin stutters out. a boy in the back chuckles. and Caitlin gives him a playful glare. "Who are you? Coach asks Caitlin . "Caitlin..." "Well Ms. Caitlin ARE YOU READY TO PRACTICE?!?!?!" Coach asks "YES COACH!!!" Caitlin shouts. "ALRIGHT THAT'S THE TYPE OF SPIRIT THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! EVERYBODY ON THE GOAL BOX NOW!!!" Coach shouts back blowing a whistle.
We line up on the goal box line and two girls walk up and set their bags down. "Zoe!! Meredith!!! I'm so glad that you could make it today!! Please join us on the goal box!" Coach says to Meredith and Zoe. "Okay everybody down to your right leg and stretch!" shouts Coach Will. "Coach! We already warmed up before you got here!" Somebody shouts. "Meredith and Zoe have not so lets give them a nice good stretch!" Coach yells back . I give the boy next to me a look. I think I saw him when I was practicing with Ed yesterday.
The rest of the practice was just like a regular soccer practice- we ran, shot at the goal, ran, passed the ball, ran, practiced dribbling, ran, played a practice game against each other, and we ran. Did I mention that we ran?
After practice was over, I find the boy who I gave the look to at the beginning of practice. "That coach really is something..." I say. "Yeah! He made me do an extra lap for being the last one to finish their water when we had the water break!" He says back with an accent. Everybody here has accents....WHY??? "Yeah that was really weird! I'm Kayla by the way." I say introducing myself. "Li- he says getting interrupted by Caitlin "LIAM!!!" Caitlin shouts jumping into his arms "CAITLIN!!" Liam shouts back, picking her up and holding her up with only one arm...damn. "Oh hey Kayla!" Caitlin says after Liam puts her down. "Have you two already met?" Liam asks looking puzzled. "Yeah, we were passing the ball around and talking before practice began. I looked for you but I couldn't find you. Says Caitlin.
"So Caitlin, What dorm room do you live in?" I ask changing the subject. "222B" she says. "Cool! I live across the hall in room 221B!" I shout. Liam, Caitlin, and I then walk and talk until we get to our rooms.
"So...Who is your roo-" I start to ask Caitlin but get interrupted by Zoe. "UMM WOW CAN YOU MOVE OUT OF MY WAY YOU ARE BLOCKING THE DOOR TO MY ROOM WOW COULD YOU CARE ABOUT ME ANY LESS UGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!" Zoe yells at the top of her lungs. A few girls poke their heads out of their dorms to see what is going on. Caitlin gets the hint and moves out of the way. "I am so sorry." I whisper to Caitlin when Zoe leaves. "Its fine." Caitlin whispers back. "So who is your roommate?" Caitlin asks me. This punk girl with blue hair and about 500 tattoos and piercings. Her name is Reg and she is really nice." I pause and decide whether to ask her my next question or not. "Hey have you heard of the band called 'One Direction'?" "OH MY GOD!!" she screams. "I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE DATE I HAVE WITH LIAM SOON!!! I HAVE TO GO SHOWER AND GET READY!!! TEXT ME!!!" She yells heading into her dorm that she shares with Zoe.
