Your POV:

"I want you guys paired off. Press, L/N you're one group. Danny, Vanessa. Another." He continued to listen off the pairs and I walked over to Press.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Ok! First touch drills. Let's go."

"First touch." Christen said. She awkwardly got a ball. "Uh. First touch. So. First touch is everything."

I heard Danny laugh.

"Danny." I said. "Stop."

"I'm sorry but you two WOULD be paired up for FIRST TOUCH drills." She almost fell over from laughing.

"I'm sorry for. That." Sofia walked by.

Finally we were back with the national team. Our last 2 games before we go to Rio.

The league would continue to go on. We got to camp and Jill called me to see her as soon as we got settled.

"You good?"

"I'm great." She nodded. "Good cause I'm making the roster for Rio. You'd be a big help for us. But only if you're 100% ready."

"I am. I'm ready for this."

"Good. Now get to work."

The next couples of days was hard work. Everyone was working there ass off.

Fighting for a spot to go to Rio. Megan came back to the team. Everyone was really surprised.

"She hasn't played in 8 months. If she's on the roster, I'm switching national teams." Kelley mumbled.

"For what country?" Christen asked with a smile.

"Y'all not see my last name? O'. I can make it in Ireland."

I laughed and patted her shoulder. "My dad was born in England. Moved here when he was 3. I could've played for them. Then I realized, why would I pass up playing on the same team as Lauren Holiday?"

"Cause Cheney's the best."

Morgan opened her mouth.

"We know. You miss her." I said.

After beating South Africa, 1-0, we went back to our NWSL teams.

Jill started calling people.

Me and JJ were driving to practice. "Jill's calling." She froze in the passenger seat.

"Answer it, dumbass!" I said stopping at the red light.

"Hello? I'm good how are you." She listened. "Really?" She started shaking her hand. "Of course. Can't wait. Thank you. Bye." She put her phone down and looked at me. "I'M GOING TO RIO!!!"

We got to practice. Alyssa and Christen both said Jill called them.

Both going to Rio. Mal, Morgan, Tobin, Crystal, Whitney and Kelley texted. They're all going too.

Of course Hope, Alex, Carli, and Becky were going to.

"More of us hold on." She looked at her phone. "Kling, Kriegs, HAO, Allie." She read. "One more spot." She looked at me.

Are you gonna make the roster? Where's Pinoe?
