The day went by quick. I avoided Carmen and tried to talk to Oliver as little as possible in order to dodge any problems with Richie. God knows he's a jealous boy.
"Hey coach, sorry I'm late!" I quickly stated as I ran into the locker rooms, small beds of sweat forming on my forehead. Claire and another one of my teammates, Dayana, looked at me and wiggled their eyebrows as they made sex-faces.
Coach had his arms crossed, "this is how you show leadership? Being late to the first game?" He questioned.
"Sorry." I quickly mumbled as I dropped my bag and quickly kicked off my shoes.
"One more time and you're running laps, understood?"
"Yes, coach." I said as I pulled my shirt over my head, leaving me exposed. I'm late, I have no room to change somewhere else. It's not like he's a perv, hopefully.
Coach looked away, "first game of the season ladies. I want all of you looking alive. No slouching, no fighting, no fuck ups. Is that clear?" He asked sternly. His dark brown eyes eyeing every girl carefully.
"Yes, coach." We all said in unison.
"Cole, positions." He called out as he looked down at his clipboard.
I slid on my shorts and quickly took a seat to put on my shin guards, "Morgan, Dayana, Susan, and Cam defenders. Remember, if you can't see anyone, boot the ball forward. Mid-field: Bev, Ivy, Jessie, and Kay. Communicate ladies, I want to hear that communication. Forwards: Claire, Hailey and me-"
"Hailey?"
"Yes, Hailey." I repeated, "Ally hasn't been feeling well, and Hailey barely got to play last season. Coach, I believe she can play just as well as Ally."
He thought about it for a second before nodding, "fine." He said.
"And Liv, our goalie." I finished as I slid on my socks. I hit my shin-guards a few times to make sure they were in place.
"There's a big crowd out there. Make me proud, and take the win home." He said as he walked out.
"Was it at least good?" Dayana asked once the door of the locker rooms closed.
I chuckled as I rolled my eyes, "he's a loser but what can I say? He's good in bed." I shrugged, "or... in the classroom?"
They all erupted in laughter as some clapped, "it must of been since you were fucking late." Liv chuckled as she pat my back.
"He's a horny fucker." I shrugged, "begging for it all day. Is there actually a big crowd out there?" I questioned as I licked my lips. My fingers finished tying my shoe laces.
Bev nodded, "huge." She corrected, "it's like the entire town is here."
"First games are always the most crowded." I sighed as I stood up. I tightened my pony tail, "everyone up, let's start stretching. Count as a team or we start over." I waited until they stood up to begin, "jumping jacks, begin." We did a set of 20, "ankle rolls, 20." We went through all of our stretches before taking a small water break, "line up."
"This is always my favorite Cole." Claire joked as she stood between Bev and Liv. All in a straight line, facing me.
I smiled before walking down the line checking their posture and attitude, "Ivy, shirt." I said. She quickly tucked her shirt into her shorts.
