from day one ♡ simon minter

♡riley 0.2

I lead simon, who i met over a fight, out of first aid.
"How have I never met you before?" I ask as I hold the door for him.
"i moved here last week, with the two guys you saw I was with"
"oh, have you not been on the field all week then?"
"no, my full lessons don't start till monday, and i have tried out for football today, that's what that dick sam has against me" he says as he gets quieter.
"i know, he is, but sometimes he can be nice..."
who am i kidding?
"thanks again"
"it's okay... what do you have next?"
"sport..."
"same!"
"cool, if you want to help me quick, can we try and find harry, he has it too"
"sure"
we walk back into the canteen and see harry leaning on a table talking to jessica... six form's top bitch.
"um I might just head on down..."
"it's fine, I will just grab harry" he smiles as I walk behind.
"thanks for your concern, harry, you're too busy chatting someone up"
jessica turned around and blushed.
she spots me and turns to harry.
"I didn't know you were friends with a looser, I thought you were cooler" she pointed to me as simon and harry look over to me.
clearly harry wasn't the type to take mean comments.
simon pulled a face.
"that's slightly uncalled for... oh maybe like you? I'm sure she is cool, if you don't mind I'm leaving" I laughed as harry walks in front with me and simon trails off behind.
"what the fuck?" we hear jessica say.

"thanks" I say, looking up.
"she is such a bitch"
"she is"
"don't put up with it"
i smile and follow.

i jog out of the girls changing rooms and onto the pitch.
"i know mark isn't here right now, but he has left me in charge, and honestly I don't know what you want to do?" mr lacen folds his arms.
i look around for anyone to say anything.
"i'd say girls verses boys but we'd be a bit too rough for them" harry shrugs as he goes into a stretch.
i look at the girls as they scold harry with looks.
"okay, I understand you are new here, um... harry, but the girls run this pitch by a mile" I walk over to harry who is standing next to simon.
simon puts his hand over his mouth and laughs.
he has gone from helping me and sticking up for me, to turning against me, and the field is the worst place to do it...
"wanna bet?" harry leans forwards and whispers.
"let's see shall we?" I fold my arms as i walk back.
"girls!" I yell and run over to my team.
"shit harry, she told me she's been playing all her life, she's got to be good" I hear simon say.
we start off the game and straight away harry gets a foul, I call it.
"harry what the fuck?" I hear one of the girls, sacha, say.
she is on the floor as well as harry.
harry holds his shin in pain and I stand over him and sacha.
i hold my hand out to sacha and pull her up.
"you okay?" i ask her.
she nods and thanks me.
simon jogs over as i hold my hand out to harry.
"harry" i looked down at him.
he took my hand, with an unexpected look on his face.
"thankyou" he smiled as I let go of his hand, sweaty, but soft.
"you both okay?" simon asked as i smiled.
"im okay, harry might need checking over"
"it's fine" he shakes it off and carries on.
simon shrugs at me as harry jogs to the other side of the pitch.
"started without your captain?" I hear someone say from behind.
sam.
"sam" i smile.
"im guessing you are beating these newbies" he puts his arm around my neck.
i laugh as I watch harry and simon frown.
"nobody's scored yet"
"we will see about that" he laughs.

"emily!" I shout at my teammate.
emily kicks the ball over to me as I see simon running towards me.
i pass the ball to my left to chloe.
without looking i run straight into simon who is standing still and i fall on top of him.
"shit!" I say as my body hits against simons.
a whistle gets blown by mr lacen as a few people run over.
"sorry" i say to simon who is underneath me.
he laughs as I smile at him.
"i wasn't looking"
"neither was i..."
i was waiting for a dirty joke from him but he said nothing and just blushed.
i push myself up and off of simon, i kneel onto the wet and muddy grass.
above me, sam was standing with his hand out, he had 'pissed off' written all over him.
"i am okay" i smile as he storms off.
at only that moment i realised how good looking simon was.
"okay, guys can we carry on here?" chloe chuckles waving her hand in front of me and simon.
I smile and look away, i see harry with his arms folded across the pitch.
"sorry" i smile getting up.
the last ten minutes of the period was shouted by mr lacen.
"come on girls!" i yell as all the girls were ready.
sam laughed as simon looked back on him.
after chloe and sacha passed between themselves, finally i was passed the ball.
"one minute!"
shit.
i run to the boys teams goalie but first I come face to face with harry.
i kick the ball and slide it through his legs.
i run around him, leaving him whining behind me, and take control back on the ball and hit it into the top left corner of the net.
i turn around as the whistle blew and all of my team ran and hugged me.
i see harry and simon clapping with smiles on their faces, as sam runs over to me and hugs me too.
"well done riles!"
i smile and look behind him and see simon and harry jogging back into the changing rooms.
"thankyou, I will catch you later?" I say running after simon and harry.
before they reach the changing rooms I catch them.
"didn't think we could beat you, huh?" I stood behind them both, puffing, out of breath.
harry and simon turn around and laugh.
"i have to admit it, you are pretty good" harry smiles.
simon stayed quiet and looked away.
"one on one next time" i wink.
he nods and smiles as i turn away.
"see you" i wave to them both.
harry waves and goes into the changing rooms.
"riley" i turn around and see simon.
i smile as i get lost in those deep blue eyes.
"yes"
"i just wanted to say... you are really good, you probably already know that but you are amazing and you really stood your ground today, when harry thought he was the best, as always" he laughs slightly.
"thanks simon, you are good too, it's in our blood I guess"
"footballers from a young age"
he nods and smiles.
"okay, well I better go and get changed" i pointed behind me to the girls changing rooms.
"see you later, maybe?"
"sure"
"thankyou for today" he says before disappearing.
