Girls Can Play Ball Too.

03 | Sweep me off my feet.

I could not stop thinking about the results for the team that I couldn't get some sleep.

Well, actually I couldn't sleep because of my brothers snoring. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I have four brothers?

And three of them are older than me. The youngest is 3 and a half.

The oldest is Jacob, who is 22 and in his last year of college.

The 2nd oldest is Bryan, who is 19 and this year is supposed to be his first year of college but he's taking a gap year

The 3rd oldest is Carter, who is actually Bryan's twin but is twice as annoying.

And the youngest is Xander. He is way over the gun for his age. When my brothers first told that guys are a no go, he was also there crossing his arms.

My alarm clock beeped loudly and I jumped out of bed.

I banged on my brothers doors. "Get up! Get up! Get up!" I shouted happily.

I laughed at their groaning and Carter telling me to shut up.

I quickly went to go take a shower and got dressed into a white tank top, black tights and Jacob's denim jacket and Bryan's cap.

Jacob actually isn't here. He's in New York, studying engineering. He only visits in the holidays seeing as California is so far away.

I got out of the bathroom and went downstairs for breakfast. Everyone was seated at the dining room table, stuffing their faces in food.

"Guys, I'm late for school so I'll see you-"

"Wait." My dad interrupted me.

I sat back down and looked at him.

My dad looked at us then at my mother. My mother smiled and looked at us.

"What's going on people?" Carter asked.

"Kids, you are going to have a new sibling."

My brothers jumped with excitement while I groaned.

"Is it a boy?" I asked her.

"Its a girl." She smiled.

"Yes!" I shouted. "I cannot have another slob in the house." I said which made my brothers attack me.

I laughed and got up. "I'll see you guys around." I ran out of the house and picked up my bike which was on the lawn and rode off to school.

I sang my heart out to Jonas Blue's 'Mama' as I rode to school. Know why? Because today was my day. I don't wanna brag but I am good at what I do.

I have been captain of every single team I have joined. Whether it be volleyball, tennis and soccer, I was the captain.

And this time was no different. I saw my school come into view and smile widen.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!

I finally got to the parking lot and parked my car, I mean bike. I ran into the school and avoided the stares and whistles of jocks.

I finally found the pin board and I also  found some guy looking at standing there looking at the board. I didn't have time to think so I just pushed him out of the way and let him all.

I searched the whole board and jumped out of joy when I spotted the soccer team list.

I scanned my name throughout the whole list and my smile suddenly faded when I didn't see my name.

I scanned the list again but the sms thing happened.

I scanned the list again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

Yet still, my name wasn't there.

I stepped back from the list. I heard my heart beat in my ears. It sounded faint and I couldn't breath properly.

It can't be. It just can't. I walked away from the board and ran around the corner, bumping straight into a hard chest. I fell on my butt, which made my head spin immensely.

"Hey, Miss America." I heard someone say above me.

"Not today." I tried to stand up but I just landed on the ground.

Well, not entirely. Before I could hit the ground, Captain America caught me by my waist.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked with concern in his voice.

I didn't respond. I just started breathing slowly and my eyes started closing.

"Hey, hey, hey.. keep your eyes open." I felt arm arm go under my knees and one support my back.

I couldn't retaliate so I let Captain America sweep me off my feet.

My eyes longed to close but I forced them open.

"Nurse, I need help!" Captain America's shouts sounded like they were a mile away. I felt like my lungs were closing in on me.

I felt myself being laid down on a bed. "Hey, America. You gonna be okay. Just keep breathing." I head his soothing voice.

But I can't. I wanted to say but I didn't.

Then I just couldn't.

I fainted.
