Sage's POV
Today Mom is being introduced to the Sky Blue team at a pre-season team meeting and I'm going with her since, well I'm probably going to be tagging along with Mom pretty much everywhere, but hey I don't mind especially with what happened at the last camp.
"Ladies welcome our new signing Carli Lloyd" The coach says and Mom greets the team. I sat in the back of the room until Mom motions for me to join her and she introduces me to the team. There is a lot of new faces here and its all getting to be to much so I grab Mom's hand to keep the panic attack away. Mom talks with her new teammates until we leave.
"Hey Carli can you and Sage come to my office." The head coach says before Mom and I leave.
"Sure?" Mom says confused and we follow the head coach to her office.
"Alright so I want to talk about you two's situation."
"About me needing to be by my Mom a lot." I say in a sort of questioning manner.
"Yes and I had an idea I want to run by the two of you"
"Which is?" Mom asks.
"Sky Blue would like to offer Sage a job as the Social media Coordinator for the club."
"What? Really?" I ask and the head coach nods. "What would I be doing?"
"Well we would need you to be at practices to get videos and Photos of the team during training and we would need you to go to all games home and away. Other things may pop up, but we will try to give you warning if stuff like that happens."
"Um may I ask 2 questions?" I ask
"Sure."
"Um my girlfriend plays for the Washington Spirit. If I wanted to go visit her would I be allowed to do that?"
"Within moderation we would allow you to yes."
"Awesome. Would I be allowed to bring my course work to practice?"
"Of course Sage."
"What about when I am with the National Team?" Mom asks.
"Sage would go with you."
"Could we have a moment to talk about this?"
"Of course Carli. I need to make a phone call so I will step out and give you two see privacy." The coach says and she steps out.
"Well what do you think Sage?" Mom asks
"It sounds like a fun job and it would guarantee I'm always around you. And let's be honest with my history thats a good thing. Are you okay with it?"
"I think it sounds like a good idea. And it could help you with your studies. Just don't let this distract you from your studies okay?" I nod and we wait for the coach to come back in. When she does I accept the offer and Mom and I leave and make the hour journey back home.
Once we get home I text Mal to let her know what just happened.
Me: MAL
Mal: SAGE
Me: I got a job
Mal: Really thats great. where is it?
Me: Sky Blue
Mal: What are you doing for them?
Me: Social Media
Mal: Thats amazing...Um does that mean you can't come watch me play?
