Nobody to Somebody

Chapter 11: Jack's Soccer Game

Jacks POV

Sweat ran down my face as I sprinted. 2 obstacles lay ahead of me. I created a split-second call that sealed my fate. Moving fluidly and attempting to create it look as real as possible, I lunged to the left then quickly move the right.

The black and white ball at my feet moved  with me as if we were connected. I drew my leg back like cocking a gun. My foot contacted the ball with a crisp, hollow sound that made me smile. It flew across the grass and into the lower left corner of the net. This was most quite a game. it absolutely was a battle that just one team would win, a fight that left you breathless and shaking with hormone. This was soccer.

BEEP. The referee blew his whistle to announce the start of the game compete against Castle Mont.

“Lets go boys. we got this!”I said while inspired them so we might withdraw there and take the W.

It absolutely was exactly 5:30 once the ball began to roll. The bleachers were packed with spectators from each groups. This game was the foremost important game so far because 3 teams were tied at first place with 2 games left.

The sky got darker and the crowd couldn’t stop from screaming. the primary half ended. The score was 0-0. “How do you guys assume we’re playing boys?” Coach asked us. He then turned around and started walking away.

“I think we’re playing okay but we can do better," I said. If you guys noticed their weakest side is their left so if we use our left mid and connect our forwards, then we will score a couple of goals”.

Every player from our team didn’t say anything. At this point the referee signaled both teams to that it was time to start the second half.

“Lets go Jack,” Alex said from the sidelines  I was looking at all the crowd and I saw that half of the people had their eyes on me. I felt like the star on team. It was that time I should take it seriously.

The second half started. 10 minutes into the game, a forward from the other team named Jalen had possession of the ball at the 30-yard line. No one from our team was challenging the ball so he had a clear shoot at goal. Every single person in the crowd and in the field was in suspense as they all saw the ball curving into the goal and the making swish sound on the net. “Goal. Yes. Hahaha”. Jalen screamed out loud. Right after that, all of his teammates began to run at him and started hugging him. On the other hand, my teammates and I had our moral down.

“Hey! Don’t put your heads down! Do you guys think this is over? Well its not. We have 30 minutes to score and I know you idiots can do better. We didnt come up to the semi-finals to lose from the Knights! Now get your ass on that field and win this damn game!”

All of  us ran up the field. I looked around the bleachers. The ball began to roll again. we were controlling the ball tolerably that the opposite team couldn’t take it removed from us.

Only 15 minutes of the game left and our keeper punted the ball to ¾ of the field.

“Mine” my mate shouted. He flicked the ball. I saw the ball was going towards me so I started to run towards the ball. As soon as I touched the ball, I explored to see my choices however I spotted that I had a one on one chance. I made a decision to drivel the ball.

I started to play with the ball and drivel through all the defenders. I was sprinting as quick as I could. I could hear some folks screaming my name. Others were cheering the keeper to safe the shot.

 I looked up to see which way was I going to kick the ball towards. The keeper was leaving the right side of the goal open so there is where I shot the ball. The ball entered the net, which indicated that I had just tied the game. I was so excited that I wanted to celebrate but I didn’t because we weren’t winning yet. As a result I took the ball out of the goal and took it to the middle of the field to continue with the game. 

 I saw that my teammate began to sprint towards goal so I gave him a threw ball. He then shot the ball but the defender blocked his shot. The ball was going towards me so I had it. I was 10 yards away from the goal. I heard a lot of people telling me all sorts of things but at the end I chose to have a shot at goal. Just like the first goal of the game, everyone one on the crowd stood up while watching the ball.

Goal!

That was the winning goal. I couldn’t believe it so all I did was put out my hands up in the air. 

A teammate came from behind of me and carried me to the bench. Everyone was shouting my name out and throwing water at me. Peter came down the bleachers and splaped my hand.

"Good Job Jackson!" We did our handshake. Gosh I missed that. I then hugged him.

I felt the hero of the entire school at this moment. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. The referee blew his whistle again to announce the end of the game. The whole crowd was sprinting towards me. It was the best night of our life's AGAIN!

"WERE GOING TO THE FINALS!!!!!" Coach Richard yelled.

We all screamed. While people carried me, i yelled "Party at my HOUSE!"

The crowd screamed and headed to the parking lot. I went to meet Peter and his kid. I dont know why he's with that him but thats none of my business.

After he agreed coming to the party, Alex and I went to our car and drove to the party.

It was the beginning of our Plan.
