The girl behind the ball

Practice days

The sun was shiny today but the weather wasn't hot. I was setting on the bench waiting for the team when I saw them arrive. I was always the earliest of them. Football practice starts exactly after school and they always take long while packing or they are probably changing their clothes. So I just warm up myself for the classes. Casey has been our coach for about 3 years and we call her coach case. Not that kind of case that your thinking, a strong athletic lady with amazing skills. We practiced well today since we knew we had to win the match. We lost last year because we weren't really prepared. We won one match with 6-3 and now we have the semi finals. If we win, we go to the finals which is not an easy thing to do. So we decided to take it even more serious. But in a good way I suppose. I went home with Jen, her house is closer than mine so she reaches first. Jen is in center back so we depend on her not to let the other team score. We reached at Jen's house and I said bye to her and was on my way home when I saw a player from the other team which we are going to play against for semi finals.  It's not 100% confirmed because there are other schools but in a different country so they decided it's better to do it between the same country just like usual. As I said, it's not confirmed. The girls name is rascal and she is the captain of there team. I've never liked her much because she is a show-off person. She hates our team so much because they lost against us last year and I hope they lose again. We passed each other and didn't say a word but just look into each other's eyes like a mirror. I reached home and went to take a shower. Sometimes I even have to take shower twice a day and that is like 10 minutes of my time but I know I have to be clean and fresh. I didn't have a lot of home work today since our finals are starting and it's our last year in school so I need to study well to keep my marks high since I've been doing that my whole life. It's like being the best and at the last moment, you mean nothing. I don't want that to happen because it will be a nightmare. The only players from our class are me and Bethany. We call her Beth. She is responsible for the goal. To be honest, she did a good job in the past few months for catching some balls but we still need to practice so I always make her train well since I am the top scorer. Not many people are interested in football in our class but what can I do? Everyone has different hobbies, or shall I say, different taste. I finished studying math since it's our 1st exam after 3 days which is on Sunday. The match is after 6 days which means it's on Thursday. We don't have school on Fridays which means I am free tomorrow! Not really, I have to do some grocery shopping with my mom since my dad has work. My small brother Sam will be saying with his friend Joe which is a couple streets away from us. My dad has a big company for people who want to start a business so I can say that we are in a good situation thanks god. :)
