The football girl

Chapter 1

***the cover is what Riley looks like ***

I was deep in my sleep in my new house in London when I felt the cold icy water drown my face . I quickly got out of bed shaking of the water drooping from my face . ' well that woke you up ' my older brother Alec sniggered . I was 16 and he was 2 years older than me . But he didn't go to the same school as me since I was offered a football scholarship to the private boarding school 'Greenhill academy ' and he didn't even go to school because he didn't want to do sixth form instead he went to ' north fleet college ' . It was basically sixth form but for dumb people if I do say so myself . Today was my first day and I had to move all my stuff to the boarding house . This was the first time I was going to see what it looked like . Alec was still laughing and I ordered him to get out . I locked my door and decided to get dressed. The school uniform consisted of a mid thigh grey skirt, a plain white shirt , a red and white stripey tie and a red blazer with the greenhill badge. I brought a hype rucksack that was my brothers because I couldn't be bothered to find mine . I didn't put on any make up as usual because I just didn't care what other people thought about me . I put my hair in a loose fishtail plait and hen messed it up a bit because it was too neat . I flipped my fringe back since I was trying to grow it out and put on black Lacey boots because we were aloud any school shoes . Normal girls would have probably worn creepers or pumps but I loved being unique . My hair was blonde with a few dark and light natural highlights . I was really tanned since I was half Australian and my body was really petite but I had tried to tone it up to excel in football . I had a really arched back making my butt look big but I was only a size c when it came to bras . I didn't really care tho since it's not like I wanted to catch boys attention .

I dragged my enormous suitcases down the stairs with my favourite football which was signed by David Beckham . I threw them into the boot and then got into the front with my mum . My dad wasn't there since my parents divorced when I was around 3 . The tiring car journey began and we were almost in the car for 2 hours . It was a Sunday morning and all students had to be ready for school to start on Monday . I opened my dreary eyes after a quick nap as soon as I felt the car slowing down to a halt . We were here .

I stepped out of the car and embraced the enormous building as I sighed . I hugged my mum and said goodbye. I hauled my suitcases along and got my iPhone out of my pocket to check the time . I started dribbling the football because I was too lazy to carry it . I walked up to a girl carrying a check board . 'Hello you must be new , I'm Nadia , I'm part of the welcoming committee and you are ' she said smiling holding her hand out . I awkwardly shook it thinking how could someone smile like that for that long . ' Riley Fox ' I smiled trying to make it look less fake then it already was . ' well Riley this is your mentor India ' she said pointing in the direction of a tall, really curvy girl with blonde hair and pink everything . She looked like one of those typical popular sluts . She looked at me and rolled her eyes . ' why you rolling your eyes for if you think I'm the one who wanted your stuck up face to be my mentor then your wrong ' I shouted . She deserved t she was a total bitch . ' do you know who your talking to ? ' she said 'as if I care ' I turned around . She pushed me back ' my dad owns Hollister so if I were you I would shut up and walk your skinny little arse to your car and get out of this school ' she said . I pushed her back ' get your dirty slutty fingers off me who knows where they've been . And you should probably shave your arse if you really want it hanging out of your skirt,guys don't like little slutty gorillas ' . She had a really pissed off look on her face . Her fists then clenched and I could tell she was about to punch me . I quickly ducked and already a huge crowd were surrounding us . I stepped towards her and grabbed her collar, pushed her to the ground and punched her several times . I stood up . The crowed cheering and a few girls that seemed to be close to India and they gathered around her . I pushed past the crowd and walked off still angry . They were chanting my name but I didn't care about the popularity I just wanted to stick up for myself . I carried my bags and football with me and was on my way to find my room myself when a tall man wearing a suit stood infront of me . 'Nice to meet you Riley , I'm your new principle Mr Finchman, I see you've met your new mentor why don't you make your way to my office '. I sighed following him to his office picking up my ball . ' so on your first day your already in a fight ' he said sitting down by his desk ' she started it ' I interrupted ' that's what they all say ' he smirked ' since it's your first day I'll let you off easy but you will have a few sanctions . First for a week your gonna have to have lunch detentions and your are going to have to commit to my 1 like the other students but 2 extra curricular activities . You have a choice out of the only ones with remaining spaces which are acting , gymnastics, dancing and cheerleading ' . He sniggered. I sighed ' look it's not even my fault she actually started it' I tried explaining . ' just choose an activity ' he demanded ' and I'll get you a new mentor that you won't be able to beat up' he said . I rolled my eyes ' gymnastics . Now are we done ' I sneered . ' meet your new mentor Hunter' he said as a tall lean muscular boy with dark brown hair and green eyes walked through the door . ' whatever ' I said walking out with my stuff . Hunter soon followed me ' well that's a nice way to greet your mentor ' he sarcastically commented as it continued walking . I ignored him . ' it's left not right ' he advised as I turned in the wrong direction . ' I turned around looked him straight in the eye not even caring about how beautiful his eyes were and said ' look let's keep this simple I won't talk to you if you don't talk to me just show me around for the rest of the fucking week and we can pretend it never happened ' I glanced at him then turned around and continued walking . He nodded and then muttered under his breath ' I guess someone's on their period ' I turned around again . 'What did you say ' I shouted . ' he stepped back . ' I said what did you say you piece of shit ' I looked at him straight in the eye . ' sorry ' he said . I was waiting for him to argue back but that's all he said . That was fucking weird . ' well this is gonna be one long Fucking week ' I commented . He just nodded and then stopped when we reached my room . I opened the door to find two double beds each with a bedside table, wardrobe, window and table and chair to do work at . There was an on suite shared bathroom . On one of the beds a girl sat on her bed with her headphones in on her laptop. She stared at me for a bit then looked back down at her laptop and continued typing. I ignored her . 'Thats autumn she's your room mate ' hunter said . ' I thought we weren't gonna talk to eachother ' I pointed out . ' and don't fucking say sorry again it pisses me off ' I said . ' I thought that counts as the mentoring ' he said . I put my stuff in my room and he walked outside the door . 'That wasn't rude at all ' said autumn . I looked at her then ignored her . I couldn't be bothered to argue . I changed into my black sports bra and booty athletics shorts . I swung my Adidas gym bag around my shoulder and walked out my room tying my hair in a low side pony tail. I was liking for the gym when I heard a whistle . You have got to be fucking kidding me . I ignored then . 'Hey babe why don't you join us ' I heard a boy shout with the rest of his friends. ' I ignored them shouting 'keep dreaming ' without looking at them once . I heard comments like 'feisty I like it '

I reached the gym and went in the treadmill literally running non stop for hours . I loved running . It cleared my mind . It was the only thing that didn't make me angry . As you can tell I was really short tempered.

It was around 11 at night I couldn't sleep I went out on the silent field with my ball kicking it around and mucking about . I heard something move but I don't care . I wasn't scared . It was getting louder . Suddenly someone put their arms around my eyes and mouth . 'Guess who ' they laughed
