(We were more like a skinny love then an actual relationship. The boys would tease us knowing what had happened. In the beginning I did feel kind of awkward but then I got used to it. We both knew we couldn't date each other even if we wanted too. The contract I signed said in big bold letters NO DATING TEAM MATES. Which I didn't think I would have a problem with but look where that ended up.)

The whole team was sitting on the leather covered couches around the flat screen at coaches house. All the boys were watching so intensely at the announcing of the players who will be playing in the 2014 World Cup. I sat in the corner reading my somewhat large book.

"And the players for Brazil will be .." Luiz Felipe Scolari started to announce. Because I didn't want to be rude I closed my book and watched. The nervousness in Neymar's face was unbelievable. He was an amazing player and everyone knew he was going to make it.

Scolari began to speak again adding dramatic pauses after every word. "Goal Keepers. Jefferson, #1. Julio Ceasar, #12. Victor, #22. Defenders. Dani Alves, #2."

Everyone started clapping and exchanging I told you so's to him.

I got bored after a while until he starting announcing the forwards.

"Hulk, #7. Fred, #9. Neymar, #10."

Before Luiz could even finish his name everyone started celebrating and yelling. I gave a him a quick smile and he returned with a wink. They were all still listening but not as intense as they were before.

"Bernard, #20. and Jo, #21." He finished, well that's what we all thought.

"Brazil will be having another forward."

My face in a circular picture came up on the bottom of the screen next to the others. Everyone stared at me all of their faces in confusion. After I heard Neymar was chosen I started reading my book again. I noticed all of their eyes. I looked up.

"Why is my face on the screen?" I asked confused because only chosen players were on their.

"Ally Dias, will be joining the Brazilian team."

My eyes were about to fall out of their sockets. Everyone was patting me on the back and congrats were coming every 5 seconds. My parents are Brazilian but I'm Canadian but I have a Brazilian citizenship so I guess I could play. I was going to play in the World Cup. Oh. My. God.

"Looks like we will be spending lots more time together." Neymar said to me before walking away which caused laughter from the other boys.

As amazing as this all was. The World Cup was going to be another stress factor and I have to work harder. If I blow this I can say goodbye to any other soccer offers that I may get.

•World Cup practice•

I stuck out like a sore thumb as usual being the only girl but it didn't matter because I would be playing in the World Cup ! I put my cleats on and walked out onto the field. Neymar and Dani weren't on the field. Which made me stick out even more since I was the only one who wasn't in a group laughing and talking. Due to my social awkwardness I decided to walk over to the goal and kicking my blue Nike ball on the cross bar.

I do this instead of taking free kicks because that way I don't have to run into the goal. Honestly if it wasn't for soccer I'd be the most laziest person in the world.
