My alarm starts going off and my eyes slowly open. " I reach over and grab my phone, clumsily I fall out of my bed. My mom busts through my door holding my soccer uniform.

" Honey, come on your gonna be late for the game." She says before ripping the covers off of me. I jump out of bed and head to the shower as I let the cold water pour over me, I can't help but think that if I don't win the game my life will be completely over. I will never get into a good college and marry Andrew. I'll just be Destiny Walter's, the girl who didn't make it into San Diego state. I turn off the shower and put my soccer uniform on. Immediately all my worries are gone.

" Your Destiny Walter's for peetsake, captain of the soccer team, beautiful, most popular girl in school and your dating Andrew Fuentez. You can win this game." I reassure myself before leaving the bathroom and heading downstairs.

" I made bacon." My mom says in a singsong voice before kissing me on the cheek. I feel my dad's strong arms wrap around me and kiss me on my other cheek.

" How's my beautiful daughter." My dad says before sitting down to read the newspaper.

" I'm good and sorry guys but I can't eat breakfast with you guys. Andrew's picking me up remember?" I say quickly before making a run for the door.

" I thought we discussed that Robert will be taking you to school. We hired a chaufeur for that specific purpose. You can not ride on a motorcycle." My dad says with a stern voice.

" But daddy." I say, I jut out my lip for good measure.

" Absolutely not." He answers.

" Oh Timothy, she's about to turn seventeen. She is not a little girl anymore." My mom says in her sweetest voice. She reaches over and kisses him on the lips.

" I guess, you can go. Just for the day. Cause it's your big game." A horn beeps outside and say my I love you's before running outside before my dad can change his mind.

" Hey baby, I missed you." My boyfriend Andrew says before pulling me into a big hug and kissing me on the lips.

" I missed you too." I say, I kind've nudge him along because my dad is currently watching us like a hawk outside of our window.

" So guess what today is. " I say as we ride to the soccer field.

" Ummm... your birthday?" Andrew says.

" No." I say before kissing him on the ear.

" Your soccer game." He says as we stop at a red light.

" Yes. But that's not as important as what the big deal is." I say.

" Could it be our anniversary." He says as he stops his Motorcycle and plants a kiss on my lips. He gets off his bike and gets on one knee.

" You are so stupid. " I say before tears well up in my eyes.

" Would you do me the honor Destiny Faith Walters of wearing this soccer locket? " I nod my head and he opens up the box revealing a beautiful diamond necklace. with a soccer trinket as the case.

" Can you put it on me?" I say.

" Of course. I love you.You know that we've been dating for approxiamately three years and six months." he says as he kisses my forehead.

I kiss him on the lips and then I pull back. " And eight hours."

You know you like it when it drives you insane , bah bah bah bah bop bop bop. Aluna George's voice is killer.

" Destiny, are you at the soccer field?" My best friend Abbigail asks me.

" Of course I am Hun. Where else would I be?" I ask. Sometimes Abby comes up with the dumbest questions but I still love her.

" I don't know Mcdonalds or in Andrew's pants." I laugh lightly because I'm totally embarassed and I can feel a blush rising to my cheeks. I really wish I was'nt a virgin anymore but I'm totally scared that Andrew will dump me. So I'll wait.

" Hello? Destiny?"

" Yes Abby?" I say hoping she is on to a totally different topic. It's kind've embarassing knowing my boyfriend is standing right there. " I'll be there in a sec. Love ya."

" Love ya and don't forget your cleats." Abby forgot her cleats at our last practice. Sometimes she really makes the dumb blonde statement come to life. I hear the dial tone and turn around to see a smiling Andrew. " I love you too."

" I know babe, But if you were'nt such a good kisser I would've thought you were a lesbian using me as a cover." He jokes. I slap him over the head.

" You are so dumb. And anyways Abby's not my type." I say before leaning in to kiss him. After about thirty seconds without air I lean in and whisper in his hair. " You are." I kiss him one last time before turning around and head to the locker room.

" Cause baby your a firework, Come on let your colors burst." My best friend is singing super loud and of tune. Wiggling her butt in a way that make me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

" Uhmm. " I clear my throat and she turns around and her face is beet red. I think she was expecting from one of the other teams soccer players to catch her. Her blonde hair is dissarayed in her face. " You okay."

" Yep." She says before wincing at her reflection in the mirror. " I look like crap." I go over to her and fix her hair and uniform before working on myself. I'm about to leave for the soccer field when I hear an annoying sneer behind me. Stacey.

" Hey Destiny, are you going to admit that your team sucks before of after we kick your butts in the soccer game." She flips her hair and looks herself over in the mirror. I take this as my chance to leave.

" I take that as after. " She calls after me.

As I step onto the field my mind clears. The goal is what i'm aiming for. That's what I want. I look at my team and know we will leave with victory. If we win or lose.

" 1..2...3. Team." We split out in our spots. The whistle blows and I am in the middle of the field with the ball when Stacey kicks it out from underneath me. Goal. I feel defeated for a second and then i'm back in the game.

45 minutes later.

5-5 Tie. We are so close first team to make the last goal wins. I can't help but feel the energy seeping through my veins. I feel so exhilirated. I look up into the crowd to see my parents cheering me on and I can't help but feel the happiness radiating from me. I sprint across the field and kick the ball straight into the goal. Score. The crowd goes wild and so does my team. Right after the game Andrew says his goodbyes to me and my parents and I kiss him gingerly on the lip before getting pulled back.

" I think that's enough." My dad says, still holding onto me. " Bye Andrew." My dad says clearly dismissing him.

As we get into the car, I feel like finally my life is perfect complete. I start singing a song that my parents taught me. " Down by the bay where the watermelon grows, back to my home I dare not go. For if I do. My mother will say....." As i'm singing my mom and dad slowly start to join in. As were about to be at the stop light my dad looks up into the mirror and mouths " I love you." And the next thing I know everything goes black.
