"Okay, so call me when you get to Orlando, then tell me when you get to the game, and text me throughout the day just to check in, also I expect a phone call every night and morning while you're there-."
"Which is only three days, dude Damien calm down, Christen and Alex are gonna put me in a bubble probably when they see me, my leg is good now, I'm so excited to watch their game and see them of course."
"Alright, I'll see you in a few days."
"Watch the game and you'll probably see me there too." I smiled and laughed as I walked to go get on the plane. They wanted me to take the jet, because none of them could go with me, but I didn't want it. I know fans and all, but whatever, I still want to ride on a regular plane.
"Now Boarding first class." I got up and walked to the entrance. They scanned my ticket and I got on. This flight is a long one, so of course I put on my headphones and fell asleep.
~~~~~
"Excuse me."
"Hmm?" I opened my eyes and saw a boy next to me. He shook my arm lightly and I raised my head and took off my headphones.
"We're landing in less than twenty minutes."
"I slept that long?" He shook his head yes and laughed at my reaction.
"Thanks for telling me."
"Yea, no problem, names Max by the way, and this is my brother Charlie."

He pointed to the guy across the row. "Twins?"
"Yep, so..."
"Brooklyn, Brooklyn Lopez."
"Nice to meet you, how come you're coming to Orlando, or are you getting off at Dallas?"
"I'm going to Orlando to meet my friends, they're playing a game against each other."
"Oh what sport?" Charlie asked from across the isle.
"Soccer, I'm a soccer player too, actually."
"Oh awesome, soccer's a cool sport. What position do your play?"
"I'm outside mid on the right side."
"Oh cool what's your team name?"
"Umm well I'm gonna be playing for Chino Hills highschool and I play for the national team."
"Like the US women's national team, like the the one that won the world cup two years ago?!"
"Yep, that's the one."
"No way, wait did you-."
"No I wasn't on that team, I was only 13 at the time."
"Wait so you're only fifteen now? And your on the US women's national team?"
"Yea, so are you from Florida or California?"
"Florida. I've gotta go watch some of the recent games to see you play." Max told me and I nodded.
"Haha okay, I like Florida, I would love to live there."
"So which friends are you meeting, some of your national teammates?"
"Yea, they're playing in the Nwsl right now."
"That's cool, women's soccer is better, less times people faking injuries, well it doesn't really at all actually." Charlie said thinking about it.
"Yea, sometimes people don't realize how bad something is though."
"Yea, probably, I just don't understand how the players run for 90 minutes."
"Oh yea, that's a hard thing to work up to, but it's possible."
We landed and gather our stuff. "Nice meeting you." I waved by and went to go catch my ride to my hotel.
~~
My driver was nice, Ironic that he was actually from Texas. I'm a little sad I slept through the Texas landing, I don't even remember if the twins were on when we left California. I checked into my hotel room, well one of my parents florida workers did, because I'm not old enough to do so myself.
"Alright thanks."
"Have a good time here in Orlando Ms. Lopez." She left and I unpacked my stuff. I smiled at the picture in the bottom of my bag. It was Sophia, Sarah, Sam, and I, we were all at the white house, then I remembered this is the bag I took on that trip.
I remember that's when everything changed between the four of us.
