The Season
It was my dream to win. Would it happen this year? It was two months away and we were practicing hard.The team was going to win they said.Soccer was my life this season.They had state in the bag the team was good.Untill one stubborn girl changed the way we all thought they said. Thats me the stubborn girl i’m Hannah Mac. I came here to play soccer and other sports. I came two months before the state game.
I don’t think they like me but lots of people don’t.
“Hi, I’’m malire the team captain,” she said.
”I’m Hannah Mac but you can call me Mac,” I told her.
“What position you play?”
“Play center or shooter manly,”
We went on and I could tell she was not likeing the conversation so I walked away. The coach came over and was saying that I was a starter and the shooter my best spot. She said we would practice tomorrow, and she said to go home.
I went home and was ready for school I was scared. I got up and packed my bags. I grabbed my bike and went for a ride. I get to school and it is a lot bigger than my last one. I go to my class and they say to introduce myself. “I’m Hannah Mac,” I mumbled to the class.I get threw to lunch and soccer seems to be so far away. I make it threw the rest of the day and here comes soccer I’m so excited. We were in our spots and I saw I was going to have to work with Malire. We were going to a soccer camp in a few days and she was my room mate.
After camp we got along a little better, but she still didn’t like my ideas for changes. We won games and we were ready for the championships. I decided that malire didn’t go hard to get the ball when she was supposed to charge them. I in the middle of the game went after the ball and she got mad we got in a fight and got red cards by that time it was raining and the game was postponed. Coach asked us what had happened
“She went after the ball and I had it,” Malire screamed at me.
“Well you never housle to get the ball,” I screamed back.
“Thats enough you two work this out or you won’t be playing tomorrow. Got it ?” she said.
“ Got it.” we said together.
We got to our dorms and we sorted it all out. We told coach we were playing.We played together like stars.I made 5 goals in the first half. I listened to Malire and did what she told me to do. It was half and we were up 5 to 1 and we are ready for the next half but we have to wait 20 minutes and we figure out that if they win we would go to the world wide championships. We all are so excited and can hardly what.
We are starting to play again and they make 2 more goals we are all scared of what would happen next. They score again and tie us up penalty kicks are up and coach says that three people were up. It was Malire, Sarah,and me we were all good kickers.Sarah goes first and she makes it,but so does the other team.I’m up and my heart is pounding. I kick and I miss I can’t believe I missed.The moment i’ve been waiting for and I blew it. I sit down and can’t hold back the tears I cried. Maleri is up and i can’t watch, but I do anyways it looks like it’s going out and I stopped looking and I hear a scream. I looked up and she scored I ran and hugged her hard. We had won we are going to world wide championships. We won I just couldn’t believe it. I was so happy heart pounding sweat pouring of my face. We threw the cooler of ice on coach and she screamed we were so happy.I had just started a good friendship with my team.
