June's POV

Lauryn and I finish lacing up our cleats in the locker room. I slip my Nike running shorts on. Lauryn smiles and ties a black bandana around her head. I give her a few bobby pins to secure it in place. I do the same. I laugh when I realise at how much we're twinning. Same Hyper Venom cleats, Nike running shorts, hair style, bandana, and Nike bags. Our spandex shorts under our running shorts are the same print except mine are pink and white and hers are black and white-- that also goes for our sports bras. We walk over to the large mirror and stand next to each other. I snap a quick picture of us together and laugh. We'd normally be in more clothes to play in, but since it's snowing, we're using the indoor pitch.

"Ready?" Lauryn smiles.

"Let's go! We might have time to say hi to Neymar, Marc, Shaw, Javier, and Summer," I look at the clock.

"Let's go up then!" We run up to the pitch, and I hear Javier call us.

"June! Lauryn!"

"Chicha!" I run over and jump into his arms. He gives me a tight hug. He's been traveling a lot so I haven't seen him much.

"I missed ya!" He sets me back down.

"Javier, you remember Lauryn?"

"Of course I do. Nice to see you again."

"Hi!" Lauryn gives him a quick hug.

"Lauryn, this is Summer, Javier's girlfriend. Summer, this is my long time best friend, Lauryn. We've been through hell and back together."

"Nice to meet you," Summer shakes her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Summer."

"You two certainly look ready," Shaw comments as we hug him quickly.

"We got this!" Lauryn announce as we do our handshake. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7! Let's go!"

"Did you have coffee or Red Bull? You're very hyper," Marc laughs.

"No. I'm just pumped. How are you? I haven't seen you since Neymar' s party."

"I'm great thanks."

"Marc, this is my best friend, Lauryn. Lauryn, this is Marc Bartra but you already know that considering your Barça jersey."

"Shut up, June," Lauryn blushes, shaking hands.

"Nice to meet you. I'm a big fan as this one already stated," Lauryn hits the back of my head.

"Nice to meet you, Lauryn," Marc gives her a brilliant smile.

"Where is Neymar, Bartra?" I ask noticing a heavy lack of my boyfriend.

"He ran back to the car since he forgot his phone. When are try outs?"

"We start in half an hour. We warm up ourselves," I nod understanding.

"What numbers do you two want?" Summer asks.

"We're not sure," I say after looking at Lauryn who shrugs.

"You have to have some idea," Shaw presses.

"Not 14," I mutter.

"Why not?" Javier pouts.

"That's your number. And I think I'm putting Marks on my jersey if I make it."

"Why not Hernández?" Javier looks sad.

"I'll be in your shadow if I'm 14 and have Hernández on my jersey. And Dad was Hernández too. I can't live up to your precedent. I wanna make a name for myself," I explain.
