Derrick's hand was still in Massie's and his jaw would've dropped to the ground if it could. The brunette looked at him sharply and had a seductive half smile not meant to make Derrick think she was sexy but that she could kick his ass and look pretty. Boy was she pretty.

Their extended arms were the only thing that kept the two apart. Massie raised an eyebrow then smiled, "you know introductions go two ways," she looked down at their hands still in one another.

When Derrick's mind tuned back he looked at her. "I'm Derrick, uh, Briarwood's already soccer captain." He shrugged then their hands parted.

"Yeah, I know." She casually said Derrick was about to say 'then, why do we need to introduce ourselves? You're clearly a smarty pants.' But he just nodded politely.

An awkward silence filled Massie and Derrick. Derrick's whole team was standing behind him and Massie took a tiny step back. Her friends were behind her but in case they wanted to pull a gang fight Massie and her friends had no chance.

Just then Massie's whole soccer team walked up behind her and gave hard stares at the tomahawks. Massie stayed quiet and avoided eye contact with anyone.

"So, Solomon what happened?" One of Derrick's friends broke the silent with an obnoxious laugh that made Massie twitch.

"What do you mean?" Dempsey asked and looked at Massie. She shared the confusion with her teammate but stayed silent.

"I'm saying that you got into a tiny incident and they replace you with..." The boy let his voice trail off then he pointed to Massie. "Her?"

Massie looked at him and looked as if she was going to attack but she stayed in her place. Derrick looked to the ground in embarrassment and disappointment he knew where this was leading.

"Excuse me Kemp Hurley?" Kristen raised her voice and placed her hands on her hips.

"Your excused miss Gregory." The boy who was 'Kemp' smirked.

"You have no right to diss our team." Alicia snarled.

"Oh, I didn't, don't you worry." Kemp had a cocky smile in his voice. "I was dissing Solomon."

Dempsey remained silent and Massie did the same, he used to be captain he knew how to handle things like this. Kemp high fived his friend behind him and the two laughed. Massie rolled her amber eyes.

"Oh really?' Kristen's voice was now on a higher level, she was pissed. She stepped forward and pushed back her long blond hair. "Well, I think you're just scared."

"Me?" Kemp placed his hand over his heart in fake shock. "You wish."

"Kris," Alicia said under breath. Kemp's face grew a smile. "Yeah tame yourself wild one."

Derrick let out a small laugh and Kemp smile grew bigger because his captain approved. Massie shot Derrick a funny look. But Derrick was already in the game.

"Kemp let her off easy." Derrick said almost sympathetically.

"She can handle it." Dylan said easily and Derrick just stuffed his hands in his pockets and shrugged.

"I'm sure you preppy kids can." A dark haired boy laughed along with Kemp.

"Oh don't even bring that up, Josh." Alicia rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest. The light summer sun was warm on everyone and it was a sign that it was already twelve. Massie brushed back her hair with her hand and sighed impatiently.

"Oh but we will, sweetie." Kemp made a face to Alicia and she rolled her eyes again. Kemp turned to Massie. "So, fresh meat playing a veteran's game? Hah, hilarious."

Massie's friends were ready to defend her but Massie elbowed Claire in the stomach telling them to cool it. Massie looked at Kemp and waited for him to speak.

"I mean putting a newbie in the team is okay but as captain?' Kemp snorted a laugh he turned to Coach Erickson. "Isn't that dire?"

Coach shrugged. "Well, of course but I'm sure OCD knows what they're doing."

"We do," Coach Michaels spoke up. Coach Erickson shrugged and the floor was once again all Kemp's. "Well Miss Massie Block you can never match up to Derrick."

"Kemp," Coach Erickson said surprised.

Kemp taunted Massie but she stayed silent and patient. Kemp thought it was weird for a person to do that but he thought Massie was weak so he could get the advantage.

"I mean, even if you can play you wouldn't touch us." Kemp went on and Massie listened. "So, why don't you just quit while you're ahead and go buy an expensive outfit, princess."

That pushed Massie. "Excuse me? I don't need to buy an outfit and I could run circles around you before you can even blink."

Kemp took a step back while Massie stared yelling. "I don't need your opinion 'cause quiet frankly I don't give a shit and by the way don't you ever call me princess!"

Kemp turned to his friend with confusion. They shrugged and Kemp turned back to Massie. "Listen we might have gotten off the wrong foot."

"I don't ever want to go on the same foot as you," Massie yelled, "I could out do you any day any time."

"Prove it." Derrick spoke up and everyone looked at him including Massie. She was shocked for a moment then she got herself together. "I will."

"Enough," the two coaches said in unison, stopping Derrick from shooting his comeback. "Guys, this summer is all about training and sportsmanship."

"Right, sure." Derrick looked away and Massie stuck his tongue out at him and he ignored it after a second he shot out his own tongue to her.

"Anyway, the tomahawks will be staying at the Westchester resort, where the other teams will be staying." Coach Erickson said. "But when the teams all arrive tomorrow the training will be on the OCD field."

"Yippee," Kemp said under his breath and Kristen snarled.

"Anyway," Coach Michaels spoke up, "Massie I think you and Derrick should train together."

"What?' Massie and Derrick shouted. Everyone went on full alert and all the tomahawks stood behind their captain and the phoenixes stood behind their captain.

"Yeah," Coach Michaels continued. "Derrick is the best goalie out there and you, Mass, are one of the fastest people I've seen."

"It'd be good practice," Coach Erickson agreed and Derrick wondered if he enjoyed throwing him to a pack of wolves or worse a pack of phoenixes.

"Please, I'd rather eat my own foot." Massie said disgusted and Derrick rolled his eyes at her.

"Well, we'd like you two to practice." Coach Erickson said.

"No, coach!" Josh shouted. "She'll poison him!"

"Like, I would even waste chemicals on that." Massie pointed a manicure finger at Derrick. "I'm not asking you princess more of a spoiled witch but still…" Derrick let his voice trail off.

"Tomorrow you guys can practice at the soccer gathering at the resort." Coach Michaels said cheerful.

"Can we say no?" Massie asked a she twirled her head.

"No, but we can." He replied and Coach Erickson laughed. "Tomorrow." The two men walked off leaving the tomahawks and phoenixes to rip at each other like a wild animals hunting.

"So I guess tomorrow?" Derrick said breaking off the death glares between the two teams.

"Whatever." Massie shrugged.

"Anyway this is my team," Derrick introduced. "Josh, Cam, Kemp, Chris, Olivia, Layne, Todd, Jeff, Skye, and that's Blake." He pointed to each person as he introduced them. Massie nodded and started to introduce her team. "And this is..." But, Derrick cut her off. "Yeah, we all know your team."

"You're just the only one who needs an introduction." Cam said and Massie just folded her arms across her chest.

"So, I guess we'll practice tomorrow." Derrick said with a smile.

"Yeah, whatever." Massie said and looked around her surroundings.

"Oh and this isn't a date." Derrick had a playful look on his face.

Massie looked straight at Derrick, "ew, I wasn't hoping."

"Right," Derrick shrugged, care free.

"Let's go." Massie said to her team and the phoenixes walked off. Derrick watched Massie as she moved slowly and sophisticatedly. She was pretty and challenging. But she was also annoying as hell.
