I was in my room doing my hair for the soccer game I wasn't planning on going to. Nia begged me to go with her, just because she doesn't want to go alone even though she's going to support Bryce.

My plan was to just chill in my room and catch up on some shows I've recorded on tv but I guess that won't be happening today. I slicked my hair back in a ponytail then added clips to keep my hair laid down.

I gotta text from Nia saying she was outside and I grabbed my jacket from my closet and phone from off the night stand. I walked out of my room and headed to the front door. Mom was laying on the couch sleep, still in her work clothes so I opened the door quietly and walked out.

I headed towards the car and Nia was dancing in her car, making me laugh. When I opened the door her music blasted and she turned it down.

"Y/n I'm so glad you decided to come with me," she said.

"You better be lucky I didn't lie and say I didn't feel good,".

"You were gonna lie, how dare you,".

I rolled my eyes while putting on my seatbelt.

"If they don't win I'm not coming to no more games,".

"Y/n You know our soccer teams are the best in the state,".

"Yeah okay,".

We made it to the school and it was a lot of people that had showed up and the game starts at five.

"Damn a lot of people show up to a soccer game" I asked.

"Why wouldn't they?".

We got out of the car and headed to the field. A lot of kids were just hanging around the fence. Talking or playing around. I remember when I was younger and I would come to game just to hang out and never watched the game. I guess today is a first.

Nia and I didn't go on the bleachers yet. We stood behind the fence that was between the field and bleachers. When Nia caught an eye on Bryce, she yelled his name. He quickly looked over at us and waved, looking over at his couch before jogging towards us.

"Hey babe," she said.

"Hey baby,".

They kissed then Bryce looked over at me.

"Oh hey y/n,".

"Hey bryce,".

"Finally you came to one of our games,".

"Yeah well your girl-,".

I felt something coming directly at me and when I looked it, a soccer ball hit me right in the face.

"Y/n!".

I fell flat on the ground, covering my face because of how bad it was stinging.

"Y/n are you okay,".

I uncovered my face and Bryce and Nia was standing over top of me. Nia jumped and I noticed blood on my jacket sleeve.

"Fuck," I said.

"I'm so sorry,".

Mattia appeared over top of me, bending down to help me up.

"It's fine," I said while tapping my nose.

"I'll be back I'll get you something for your nose,".

Mattia jumped over the fence, running towards the table that had bottles of water and Gatorades on it. Everyone around us were looking. Even the guys on the field. This is not how I wanted the rest my day to go.

"Are you okay?" Asked Bryce while rubbing my back.

"I guess,".

"Well I gotta go,".

He hopped over the fence, running towards his teammates who were still looking at me.

"I'm back I'm back,".

Mattia came back and he hopped over the fence again then handed me an ice pack. He had a rag in his hand then stepped closer to me.

"I got it," I said.

"You can't see so I'll help you,".

"But your game,".

"Don't worry about it. Your nose is more important than a game,".

He placed his hand under my chin then lifted my head up a bit, wiping the blood from around my nose. I felt like a little kid that nose just started to bleed and my father wiping the blood away.

I didn't want to make at him but I couldn't help it. I began staring at him and we made eye contact. He smiled at me, filling my stomach up with butterflies.

"I wiped all the blood off but I don't know if more will come so hold this under your nose,".

"Thanks I appreciate it,".

"Your welcome,".

He smiled at me again then turned around and hopped over the fence.

"C'mon let's find somewhere to sit,".

During the whole game I was holding the ice pack on my nose and took it off when it got extremely cold. Also I wasn't really focused on the game like most people were. I was staring at Mattia the whole time.

When he made a goal earlier, immediately he saw me and winked at me. Nia of course thought that goal was for me and I kinda thought that also.

The game ended and our school won. At that moment I felt like a cheerleader yelling "woo we won we won". Luckily other people were yelling and not me. Nia joined me in the yelling and screaming and we stopped shortly when everyone around us were staring.

"So are you coming to the next game?," Nia asked as we walked down the stairs from off the bleachers.

"Yeah why not,".

We walked to the fence and waited for Bryce to come from the field. I saw Mattia walking with his friends and he saw me, smiling big. He patted Kairi on the back then jogged towards me.

"Hey," he said.

"Hey,".

"So how is your nose?".

"It's okay now,".

"That's good and sorry again for kicking the ball directly at your face,".

"It's fine really don't worry about it,".

"Okay, well I was wondering if you would like to go out tomorrow if your not busy,".

"Yeah sure,".

"Great I'll text you,".

"Okay,".

"Well bye,".

I waved and he walked away, glancing back at me.

"Oh good game!".

"Thank you!".

Nia and Bryce appeared beside me, watching Mattia walk away also.

"Well I didn't know getting hit in the face will get you a date with the big man," said Bryce.

"Well thanks to his aim of course,".

"Hey we could go on a double date," Nia said.

"Um no, oh God no,".
