Finley Carrasco was used to attention. She had a small immediate family, sharing her parents no one. The six year old was always surrounded by people in the adoption center and then had a ginormous abundance of aunts and uncles from her mother and fathers team, professional and in her mothers case, national teammates as well.

"Finn, sweetie its time for breakfast!" The little brown haired girl bounded down the stairs and into the kitchen. She sat down in front go a plate of pancakes. "You excited for your last day as a first grader?" Alex Morgan was still the same Alex. 27 years old now and going into her 2nd olympics this summer. Her and Servando had adopted the 6 year old just after the 2015 world cup

"Yeah were gonna have a field day and then recess for the rest of the day." Finn jumped up and down in her seat. Alex smiled at her daughter as she filled up Blue's food bowl.

"Hey Im going to go talk at a clubs practice today and Daddy has practice so you're gonna come with me okay? Ill pick you up. Daddy says to have a good last day and he loves you okay." She handed Finn her Balr backpack that she was given to by Ashlyn (even after she was specifically told not to get the bag for the first grader) She stood on their front porch, Blue at her feet.

"Bye Finn." She called out. Her daughter turned to wave from where she was running to her bus stop.

Finn waved one last time as her bus pulled off. She sat alone until the bus pulled up to her best friend Grace. The two played on the same youth soccer team in Orlando and had been best friends ever since.

"We need to have a bunch'a sleepovers this summer." Grace told her on the bus. Finn nodded.

"Yeah but after I go to Brazil with my Mom." She said. The pair continued to chatter about their summer plans, Grace was going to California with her Family and Finley was going with her Mom to Brazil, Servando, staying in Orlando until the (if the team made it) Semi final so he wouldn't miss many of his club games.

The first graders separated to go to their respective classes for their last day. The field day had multiple events, races, a water ballon toss, obstacle course and a bunch of other things. The class had chosen their representatives for each event. Finn was chosen for three events, the 100 meter race, the 200 meter race and the obstacle course. She had plenty of speed, many people forgetting she wasn't biologicaly Alex's daughter in that aspect. And she had always had a relatively competitive nature but being adopted by two professional athletes had made her even more competitive. She always wanted to win, no matter if it was a board game, a game in class or a race.

"All 1st graders participating in the 100 meter race lease come to the start line."

Finn bounded to the line in her bright blue class shirt and stood next to the 11 other students in the race.

"Alright guys on 3." Their principal said. "3...2...1 Go!" Finley took off, her blue nikes pounding against the blacktop. She didnt have the longest legs of the bunch but the girl loved to run. She easily beat most of the kids and was only barley above Christian Edleman. He was considered the fastest boy in the second grade, Finley the fastest girl. The rivalry between the two had been going on since the begining of the year the two racing at recess to see who was best. So far Finley had come out on top most of the times but really you were only the fastest if you won in field day.

So to Finleys absolute delight she beat Christian Edelman in the 100 meter race.

Her delight mounted when she beat him twenty minutes later in the 200 meter race.

All that stood between her and being the fastest kid in the first grade was the obstacle course.

The obstacle course was one of the last events of the day and Finn was ready for it. The event was a little after the picnic lunch that was with the entire elementary school. The 6 year old locked eyes with her rival.

"You're going down Carra-loser." The boy sneered. Finley stuck her tongue out a him and turned to the obstacle course

"3...2...1 Go!" Finn took off leaping over the hurdles and weaving through the cones. She was in the lead and was going to win. Until it came to the last stretch; the potato sack race. She was doing fine at first, only a few yard from the finish line, Christian right behind her, when she was tripped. A hand grabbed the back of her sack and pulled her down. The first grade class erupted into yells. Christian crossed the finish line first. Finley got up and made it second, but not without a look of pure devastation on her face, and a bloody scrape on her elbow.

She was given her little second place ribbon and was told to go with a friend to the nurse. She went with her friend Cara up to the nurse.

"You would've won if Christian didnt cheat. He's a cheater. Everyone saw it." Finley gave her friend a small sniffle. They had to wait for a while, field day was always a busy day for the schools nurse and this field day was no excuse. Tommy Evans got a bloody nose from kickball and Kevin Deskara got sick in the middle of the potato sack race. When Finn finally got her cut cleaned and bandaged, there was only 20 minutes left of her last day.

She found her large group of friends on the grass field next to the playground. The split into two teams and made up an extremely unorganized game of soccer. Random kids jumped in and no one kept the score. Finley didn't even realize the day was over until her Mom walked over to the sideline to get her. The ball bounced to her feet. Alex flicked it up and juggled it twice before serving it softly back to the group of kids.

"Finn, ready to go babe? Got your backpack?" Finn sprinted over to the pile of backpacks and dug hers out of the mound. She grew it around her shoulders. "What happened to your arm?" She asked as she opened the door for Finn to climb into the car.

"Christian Edelman pushed me in the obstacle race." The 6 year old frowned.

"Hmh." Alex pulled out of the schools parking lot. "You know they say when a boys mean to you it means he likes you." She looked in her rearview mirror to see Finn's face wrinkled in disgust.

"Ew." Alex chuckled.

"So what'd you win today?" Her face lit up as she dug through her backpack for her ribbons.

"I got first place in all the races I was in 'cept the obstacle course because Christians a poop head." She said very matter of factly. Finley continued to chatter about her day until her Mom pulled into the parking lot of an indoor training facility. Finley bounded to the door but was pulled back by her Mother before she could enter.
