The Gameplan

One

It's now or never.

You gotta do this for your team Alex.

Show everyone that soccer is your life, your passion, and what you wanna do for the rest of your life.

The voice in my head kept encouraging me to score the final goal. The goal that would put me on the spot. The spot that I've wanted to be on for so long.

Once again I had been entrusted to lead my team to victory. I was in no position to let them down. I had been on a continuous roll for the past 6 months. I had been in trial for team captain and it was a position that I so longed for.

At half field, I did a shoulder faint, one of my signature moves, and dodged the girl in front of me. I jump cut and did various tricks to get past the defenders.
 
Almost there

I reached the front of the net and with a quick prayer, something I always did before shooting, I kicked the ball with enough strength and aim to pass through the goalie and score the final and winning goal.

Yes!

The stadium erupted into cheers and smiles. As for me I turned to my best friend/ soccer teammate and gave her a high five.

"You did it again Alex,"She said smiling " and  again I'm super proud of you"

After showering and changing into my Nike shorts and a simple UCLA t-shirt, I headed out to find Mia so we could leave but I was stopped by Coach Gonzalez, my coach.

"Alex thank goodness I found you. I wanted you to meet someone very important. This is Ryan Wesley. The head instructor at the National Women's Soccer Association." He said exitedley.

I felt my breathing hitch. I had heard so many things about this man. He made miracles with soccer girls. He made them legends.

"Im Alex, Alexandra Rodriguez." My confidence suddenly returning as I shook his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Rodriguez. I've heard so meany things about you from Gonzales. He's been begging me to come out to see you play. And I figured, since he was being so... persistent, I had to see how well you could play. And I must say, I'm impressed."

"Thank you Mr. Wesley. It means a lot coming from you." I honestly said.

"So Alex," Coach Gonzales said. "Ryan here was telling me he'd like to set up a meeting with you."

" Yes as a matter of fact that's what I wanted to discuss with you Miss Rodriguez. Here's my card. If your interested call my assistant and she'll set up an appointment for you." He smiled as he gave me his card.

"Okay I will Mr. Wesley. Thank you so much for coming." I smiled warmly.

I cannot believe that just happened.

THE RYAN WELSEY gave me his card to SET UP AN APPOINTMENT!!! 

My mind was in so many places. Mostly shocked at what had just happened. I couldn't wait to go home and tell Mia. If things went right from here it could lead to everything I've always wanted. Everything I've always dreamed of.

-
"Im home" I yelled as I stepped into my apartment. The smell of Chinese takeout instantly reminding me of how hungry I was.

I walked to the kitchen to find Mia sitting down, a plate of Chinese in her hand and her eyes glued to the tv that currently displayed Mean Girls.

"Hey girl! Your plate is on the table" she said with a lazy smile on her face

"This is why I love you M" i said meaning it. "So guess what," i said which caused her to hum leaving me to assume she had her mouth full.

I told Mia everything that happened after the game. She was so exited,much like myself, that she suggested we went out to celebrate.

So now here I was, in my bed , wondering what to wear. My hair was already straightened and my makeup was done naturally, with a little Smokey eye and pinkish nude lips.

I finally decided to settle for the classic LBD. Little black dress. It was just tight enough to show my slim but thick figure and short enough.

I put on some nude heels, grabbed my clutch and headed out with Mia.

She said we were going to a club that had recently opened and it was supposed to be really hot. I wasn't a big fan of clubs but the occasion called for a celebration so I made an exception.

We entered the club and the smell of alcohol instantly hit my nostrils. We walked until we found two spots at the bar and sat down.

"Long Island for me" I said without looking at the bartender.
"Sex on the beach for me please" Mia said.

After an out of being there, Mia had one off with a guy to dance and as for me well I was still sitting at the same spot.

Deciding I didn't wanna look like a loser, I stood up and walked toward the restroom.

I did my business and reapplied some lipstick and headed out.
My eyes wandered around looking for any sign of Mia but I had no luck. As I was about to call her I bumped into a hard chest causing me to drop my phone and my clutch.

"Watch where your going idiot" I spat annoyed. I bent down to pick up my stuff.No reply came from the man that bumped into me so I looked up.

A tall figure stood. His caramel eyes fixed on me. A smirk tugging at the man's lips.

"My bad beautiful. I didn't see you there" he said, extending his hand for me to shake.

Ohh boy
