The Soccer Freak {Neymar Jr Fan Fiction}

Chapter 12

Gareth's POV

Today was the El Clásico. Cristiano told me everything that happened this past week. I couldn't believe they kissed. It went public for sure, everywhere we went we were asked billions of questions, but Jessica kept saying " no we are not together, we are just friends. It was friendly, not serious. " she was stubborn. They seemed so happy together like Cathy and I. If Jessica met Neymar today at the Clásico she would burst into hysterics of tears, not laughter. I was going to show Neymar that what he did was wrong.

Jessica's POV

Today was the Clásico, and I couldn't wait to see Marc, and the whole team. I called Tata last night to see how training was going, and he said they had a new transfer, but he wouldn't tell me who. He said he was something. I couldn't see why any play on Barcelona wasn't great. It was probably another legend of football. I had met many legends over the past few months and they were kind, not stuck up. I absolutely hated stuck up men.

As soon as we reached the stadium Cathy left to the stands, Gareth and Cris went to their locker room, and I went to go meet the team. I was anxious to meet them. I needed to know who the transfer was. I felt like a little girl wanting to know where her parents hid the cookie jar. I walked into the teams locker room and was greeted by Marc with a bone crushing hug.

" Jessica! Your here! I can't believe you'll be coaching us! "

" I know it's a dream come true! Is the whole team here? "

" No, the new transfer isn't here, I didn't memorize his name..."

I began introducing myself. I told them what we'd do at practice, and I assigned the squad for today according to some matches I saw. The squad consisted of Puyol, Marc, Sanchez, Piqué, and other players. I had to replace the new transfer with Sanchez since he couldn't make it. I didn't fully trust him, but it had to be made. The room was quiet until a tall, lean, muscular figure appeared in the room. I took a double take before I realized it was Neymar. His eyes filled with sorrow. He was much taller, and attractive but I still hated him. My eyes began to tear up. I couldn't cry infront of him again. I mustered the courage to talk. More like yelling.

" Why are you late? It's your first game here and your late? Not a good first impression, if that's what your were pulling. "

" I'm sorry Jessica it won't happen-"

" I don't want to hear it, go get changed and meet us on the field. The game starts in 5 minutes. " I was more firm this time. Marc gave me the what the heck look, but I brushed it off. I led the team to the field. There stood Gareth and Cristiano infront of me. I gave them a thumbs up for good luck and walked off to the benches. Neymar came running out and fans cheered. Why were they cheering? He wasn't a prince or a legend? He had no meaning to be here, or maybe just in my eyes. I gave him a death glare, his eyes still filled with sorrow.

It was 1-1 with two minutes left. We had to break this time. I was glad Piqué had scored or else, we would've been done for. Tello had the ball he crossed out everyone, and passed it to Neymar. The ball came flying in the air, and he took a head shot against the net. He made it in. The whole stadium came alive fans cheering, and me the coach sitting there and clapping. I felt bad but I couldn't show it. I would come off weak. Cristiano and Gareth didn't seem happy but I still managed to put a smile on their faces.

I walked into the locker room and saw the team waiting for me to give them some kind of feedback.

" Alright team, great job out there today, thanks to Piqué we scored the first goal of the game. Neymar, good goal but more control please. Tello thanks for assisting the newbie. " Neymar seemed a bit taken back by my opinion but he was going to have to get used to it.

I grabbed my bags and began to walk out until I felt tug against my arm. I tried to walk away but it wouldn't budge.
