Audrey's POV
"Hi ya." Someone from my new club's media team says as I walk into the club training facilities.
"Hello." I say then my new manager comes over.
"Hello Audrey." My new club manager says. "Welcome to Arsenal."
"Thank you." I say and shake his hand.
"You ready to get started?" Joe Montemurro asks and I nod.
Joe leads me through the training facilities and shows me where everything I'll need is.
At the end of the tour we end up in the medical department of the training facilities where I'll be doing my medical before I sign my contract.
"Alright." Joe says then he hands me some clothes. "These are some of the clothes you'll be wearing for training so if you could put these on then the medical team will get started."
I nod then grab the clothes, head behind a screen in the room, and start changing.
"Um are there any longer shorts?" I question.
"Here." A lady says and hands me two more pairs of shorts.
I take the shorts from the lady then continue changing into my new gear.
"Alright I'm done." I say as I step out from behind the screen.
"Then let's get started."
Over the next four hours I'm subjected to a battery of tests with most being just purely football related medical tests, but some are testing if I'm a woman.
If I'm honest I'm getting really fucking tired of being tested on my gender.
"Alright you're done." The team doctor says so I nod then head behind the screen and change.
After I've put my clothes back on I'm led to a press room where I sit down in front of a camera and sign my contract then take pictures with Joe and Clare Wheatley. Once I've signed my contract the media team do a full photoshoot of me in my official Arsenal kit then I'm lead to the changing rooms to meet my new teammates.
"Ladies I'd like to introduce to you..." Joe says, but he gets interrupted.
"AUDREY."
"Hi Kimmy." I say then hug Mom's former teammate.
"How ya doing Audi?" Kim Little says and hugs me.
"I'm doing great." I say and smile. "How bout you."
"I'm doing good." Kim says then she looks at the team. "This is Audrey Solo."
"Hi." I say and wave.
Kim then leads me around the room and introduces me to everyone.
"Hey Jessie." I say and hug the Canadian after I've met everyone.
"Hey Audrey." Jessie Fleming says.
"You two know each other?" Kim asks.
"Mhmm." I say and nod. "We met each other at the 2015 World Cup and we've kept in touch."
"We also played each other every your in college." Jessie says.
"Who won the most?" Leah Williamson asks.
"She did." I say and point to Jessie.
"Barely." Jessie says. "You had a Hat trick every game against us."
"Every game?" Jill Roord asks.
"Mhmm." I say.
"Wait aren't you the record goal scorer in NCAA History?" Jessie asks and I nod.
