Wilder Dreams

Chapter 42

Today's Game day and also the day my sister will be introduced to everyone. Jill had to make a really tough decision. For tournament of nations, Jane won't be our 3rd goal keeper, it will be my sister. We're on our way to the post game conference. Only a few of us came along. I have to do an interview. I'm currently sitting at the table with microphones and recorders in my face.

"Have you watched Germany's press conference?" An interviewer asked me. I heard Germany was talking crap about us. I haven't watched it but I heard about it from Ash.

"No I haven't, I am aware of what they said about me. I'm not offended." I tell them. They start to write things down.

"Would you like to see the video?" Another interviewer asked me holding out her phone to show me.

"Sure" I enthusiastically say. She hands me her phone.

"Are you not worried about the new striker on the team? Sage Wilder?" They question her.

"Who?" She says with an accent, as she smiles. "I don't know who that is, and I'm sure we can hold her down. Knowing I haven't heard of her means she's not good enough. Our defense can hold it down. I'm not worried about her" she says cockily. She makes some of the interviewers chuckle. She's confident, I'll give her that. She hasn't seen what I can do yet, so maybe she should have just kept her mouth shut. The video ends.

"She's confident and I respect that. She can say what she wants. If you're looking for trash talk, you won't find it here. I settleanything down in the field. Bring your A game, and my team will bring ours." I tell the camera's. They eventually change the topic and ask other questions. When I'm done I walk to where my sister is. Alex, Carli and Julie are doing interviews with Jill.

"Sage Wilder right?" Some lady walking up to me asks me.

"Yes ma'am" I tell her being polite. She's well dressed.

"I'm Natalie Paterson, your sister's agent. She's in the screen room if you want to know where she's at." She tells me holding her hand out. I shake it in return

"Nice to meet you, I'll be heading over there in a second. Thank you for letting me know" I tell her. She nods and goes back to her phone. I walk to the screen room. I knock on it. Someone opens the door but it's not my sister.

"Looking for Mykayla Wilder, I'm her sister" I tell them. They nod and let me in. I see my sister on a chair.

"Hey Soccer Star, are you ready?" I ask her, she looks up and smiles.

"I'm nervous but so ready!"says excitedly. The door opens

"It's time Wilder" My sister Agents tells her. I usher my sister up. We walk to the door. She waits aside from the interviewers.

"I've made some changes to the future roster of this team. We have a new player, come up here Wilder" Jill says getting up from chair. My sister comes up and people start taking pictures. Alex and the girls we're surprised, and shocked. A staff member comes back with a USA Jersey. #27 M. Wilder on the back of the Jersey. I take my phone and take a picture of my sister holding her Jersey up and Jill on her side. I send it to my mom and Scott. After all the media questions and interviews my sister had to do. We're headed to the stadium for the game.

"You lied to me babe" Alex tells me playfully shoving me.

"I had too!, it was suppose to be a surprise" I tell her as I drive the rental SUV. Mykayla,  Julie and Carli are behind us and Jill, and a staff member are in the 3rd row.
