HAZE (On Hold)

Part 21

The door opens and Storm comes running in, "It's game time, bitches!"

"Jade, did you give Storm candy again? You know she isn't allowed it."

"Talk to your girlfriend about her Skittles stash."

"Storm, you ate my Skittles?" Amanda sits up and looks at her roomie.

"Sorry, but they were really good, especially the red ones. I'll replace them, I promise."

"It's all good, not like I'm superstitious or anything." Amanda mumbles. Hailee gets up and walks over to her go-bag, unzipping the side of it and throwing a package of Skittles at her girlfriend.

"I stocked up, just in case." Amanda stands up and kisses her, "Remind me to thank you properly later." "Count on it." They hold on to each other.

"Okay! Enough with the cutesy couple crap, it's almost time to leave for the stadium."

"Sit with me on the bus?" "Of course." Hailee and Amanda kiss before Amanda and Storm head back to their room, to collect what they need for the game.

All four players join the rest of the team in boarding the bus to the stadium. When they arrive they are sent to different areas depending on what team they are playing on. Hailee and Amanda hug before separating and they all wish each other luck.

Storm joins the trainers in helping get stuff set up for them and then is tasked with providing those in attendance with lineup cards. As she walks around, she offers a card to a group and is stopped, "By any chance are you Storm?"

"How, do you know my name?" "I'm Dylan, Haze is one of my best friends, she told me about you. Do you know if she is starting, she hasn't answered any of my messages."

"She is actually Captaining the Blue team, but sounds like she is going to subbed off during the second half, because of her ribs."

"What happened to her ribs?"

"Um.. are you sure you're a friend of hers, cause like I don't want to get in trouble for telling you."

Dylans turns her phone over to show Storm her phone's wallpaper; a picture of her and Hailee at a Stanford game together.

"There was this girl here at the beginning of the camp, that she said used to be her step-sister and during one of our scrimmages, she tripped Haze and then cleated her back and ribs."

"Aurora was here?" Mr Zane makes his presence known and Storm nods. "She isn't anymore, she got kicked out of the camp and banned for hurting Haze."

"Dylan, I need to make a phone call. Do you think Storm, right?" Storm nods "Do you think Storm can show you where to sit and I'll catch up with you shortly."

"Yes, sir." Mr Zane walks away with his phone in his hand, "Is that Haze's Dad, cause he's like seriously intimidating."

Dylan laughs, "Only until you get to know him better. So, you are going to show me where to sit and while we walk you are going to fill me in on what else Haze decided to keep from me about this camp."

"That's mostly it, you know her girlfriend is here too."

Dylan nods, "Yeah, Mandy is a goalkeeper, like you, right?"

"Yep, they are on opposite teams today, it could be interesting. Anyways, there isn't really assigned seats today, so you can sit anywhere; they mostly just have one area blocked off for the coaches and scouts. You know they have some college scouts checking us out already."

"Two years will pass by quickly and then most of you will be looking into schooling options, so it makes sense for them to try and scout you guys while you're still unknown."
