Laila's POV
Season starts today and I couldn't be more excited! I am in the locker room changing into my gear.
"Ready for today girls! Keep your head up girls! Fight for our number one spot! We have a 6 year undefeated winning streak, lets keep it up!" Angel yelles, what an inspiring speech.
"Hey L wait up!" I turn to see Angel running up to me.
"I'll warm you up. If thats okay?" Back home the catcher usually warms the pitcher up so it felt right to say yes.
"Laila Jacobs!" My coach calls my name, but I'm not sure why. I begin to walk towards him and he smiles mischievously.
"Laila, you need to do your best tonight. I was contacted by a UA, they heard about your move! They sent scouts to come and watch you." I feel a sudden wave of pressure wash over as I look up and see three coaches, two wearing UA hats, and another one a little farther down wearing a UCLA hat.
"What's up with the UCLA scout?"
"He found out scouts were after you and he's come to look at you and angel." he pats my back,
"You got this kid, now call angel over here."
Angel walks over to him and the next thing I hear is angel scream what.
----------------------------------------------
When the first inning started I had the jitters, not only because the scouts are here, but also Sam and the guys are here, watching me.
When I hear the blue's say 'balls in', my heart stops and my hands get sweaty. I bend down and rub the sand between my hands, I look at the batter, I roll my arm and release the ball,
Strike 1
Strike 2
Strike 3
"Out!" The blue calls.
The rest of the inning went pretty much the same. We switched back a forth, until the last inning, we were up to bat.
The game is tied 10-10 Angel, bats and makes it to first. Cynthia, bats, makes it to first sending angel to second. Ariel bats, makes it to first making bases loaded.
I'm forth in line. I take my stance in the batters box, I keep my eye close on the ball. If I hit far enough I can get all three girls home, "Strike one!" Fuck I wasn't paying attention.
The pitcher looks at me with wild eyes as she lets the ball go. I hit the ball in the middle of the bat and run. Angel goes home, then Cynthia, then Ariel. I look for the ball and the girls looking past the fence. I hit a home run!
When I step on base the boys are cheering, and my teammates run to the mound.
"We did it girls! We beat these bitches!" Angel jumps and we all yell.
"Laila! Angel!" Coach is standing with the scouts waving us over.
"Laila and Angel, this is John Paul, Chris Evns. Coaches for UA, and this is Mark Price, Coach at UCLA. They have come to watch the both of you play today." He explains.
"Let my tell you guys we are impressed! We would love to have the both of you!" John says.
"We have been following Mrs.Jacobs here for quite sometime now, we just needed a catcher she worked well with, and I think we found her." Chris exclaims with a big smile.
"I actually wanted to speak to the girls privately, if you girls don't mind?" The other scouts nod and the talk to coach.
"I spoke to coach Lopez and he said I could sit in one of your practices. I really want the both of you. The two of you, girls you're a prefect match! But Angel, give me a call I want to speak to about this matter, alone." She nods and takes his card.
I wasn't offended that he didn't give me his card, I really didn't care for UCLA. I walk back to the UA scouts and they grin.
"Laila, we are going to be here for a week, sitting in your pitching class, and batting practice. I really want you to at least consider us! Give us a call."
"Thank you so much, but one question. Angel's dream has always been to attend UCLA, if she goes in a different direction will that affect me at all?" I ask nervously.
"Of course not! We want you either way." The walk away and I begin jumping up and down with Angel.
"We made it babe!" She screams.
After we finish fan girling, I walk into the dugout and get my stuff. I see Sam waiting for me and I run and jump, wrapping my legs around his torso.
"What's up babe? Who were those guys?"
"Scouts for UCLA and U of fucking A!!! Babe I'm going to college with a full ride!" I scream, throwing my hands up.
"That's amazing Laila! I'm so proud of you! Dinner for the winner!" He puts me down and Alexis runs over to me.
"Angel just told me the news! Laila! You are going UA! OMG Laila, you did it!" She screams.
We walk to Sam's truck, he puts all my stuff in his trunk. I get in the passenger seat, while Kian and Alexis get in the back.
"Red Robin sound good?" We all chime yes and he gives us the 👌.

Sam's POV
When L's game ends, they beat their opponent 14-10. She hit the last home run, she was great!
Coach Lopez called Angel and L over, and they begin speaking to these men.
They talked for about 15 minuets, then she runs back to the dugout, and comes out with her stuff.
She jumps, wrapping her legs holding on to me.
"What's babe? Who were those guys?"
"Scouts for UCLA and U of fucking A!!! Babe I'm going to college a full rides!" She screams, throwing her hands up.
"That's amazing Laila! I'm so proud of you! Dinner for the winner!" I set her back on the ground and kiss her forehead.
The whole drive to Red Robin, I thought to myself. Laila has her whole life set, she was offered two scholarships to two different colleges. I haven't even thought about college, I don't think it's my thing.
But if I'm going to stay with Laila, I need to get my act together and speak to my counselor about colleges. What does Laila want to even be?
We take our seats, the waitress takes out drink orders, and food orders.
"L, what are you going to study at UA? What do you wanna major in?I can see a flash of excitement in her face.
"Psychology" she plainly answers. I expected more of an explanation.
"And after that?"
"Oh sorry, uhh... I want to work at a hospital, like an insane asylum. Then open my own practice." Damn.
Laila has her life planned out, I don't want to step on her plans. I thought we would last forever, but I didn't think she had such big ambitions. I stay quite for the rest of dinner and take the girls home.
"Goodnight baby, see ya tmrw." She waves and walks in the door.
We have 4 months left, then she's gone. I need to apply to UA.
----------------------------------------------
Is he going to follow her or not? A bit shorter. Sorry I just wanted to give you a little filler.
