The only thing I claim to own is my empty bank account, so please no suing. J.K. Rowling the amazing fictional artist that she is owns all the characters, and a bit of plot :). Which is why she is rich, and I am not.

This is my first story ever written and posted, so please constructive criticism only, no flaming. I know the likely hood of a 14 year old being scouted for a Premier League like the Arsenals is probably 0, but I thought it would be fun to write. With that being said I am American, and my knowledge of European football is not the best. So, if you have any tips please message me. I also do not have Beta, and apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes.

While the rest of students were heading off to bed after the unveiling of the casket and lighting of the goblet Oliver and Zane were already back at the Hotel and in full celebration mode. It was rare for Zane to be able to attend any after parties so the team had decided to have the party at the hotel and keep it limited to friends and family. As far as his teammates knew Zane attended a very prestigious boarding school that was very far away, so he always had to rush off from practices and most of the time games so he could make it back in time for classes and on rare occurrences detention. Anytime he had detention the guys always took the piss out of him, asking him what good it does being youngest player in this league if it can't get him out of trouble. The cover story was so close to the real truth it was hilarious to Oliver and Zane. Like most of the family's, Zane's parents had just left the party when it started to get really going. They wanted to let him have some fun without having his parents looking over his shoulder, and they needed to get Cat put to bed since it was so late. They guys were all sitting in a circle on the couch and in chairs laughing and telling stories while having a beer when a small five year old came in a jumped up on Zane's lap. Everyone was shocked to see her since no had heard her come in. The whole team loved Catherine and was fiercely protective of her. She was going to have a hell of time keeping a boyfriend in the future, with a whole team of tall football players to answer to. Zane looked down at his sister she was wearing her pajamas with the Arsenal team logo on them and her hair was combed back in low ponytail. "Catnip do mum and dad know your here?"

"Uhhuh I couldn't sleep and I told them I needed to come and get my big brother to read me a story."

Zane sighed he really did love his sister but he was so comfortable he didn't want to move, he was exhausted from the game and then the feast. "So you really need a story read by your bother huh, not mum or dad?" he asked.

Catherine eyes widened and her lower lip started sticking out and then it started quivering. "Okay okay," said Zane. "You need a story." Cat sucked her lip back in and smiled while jumping off her brother's lap. Zane handed his beer to Oliver who was laughing so hard he was holding his sides.

"You're such a sucker mate" he said. At hearing this little Cat turned around to look at Oliver. "I never said which brother." She stated while crossing her arms. She then turned the same pout on Oliver that she had just used mere minutes ago on Zane. "I want you to read me my story, pretty please Oli?" Oliver took one look at her face and knew he was done for, so he handed both beers to Zane grabbed her hand, and pulled her out of the room before anyone could say anything. When he closed the door to the room he heard them all burst out laughing and knew he would get it when he got back.

When Oliver made it back to the room Will was telling the story of his first game, and everyone was on their third or so beer. When he sat back on the couch everyone turned to him like they were expecting him to have something to share.

"Well?" Zane asked while sniggering into his hand.

"Well what?"

"What story did you read of course?" He said while everyone laughed.

"Ah just a story about the prat footballer who bossed around his better looking, and smarter agent to much. Until one day the agent got tired of it and showed the tosser who was boss." He said with a grin.

"She five not blind mate, she knows what your ugly mug looks like."

Everyone laughed,"Oi you twat I'm not ugly!" Oliver persisted. "You know your parents were waiting to see which one of us she could con into coming right? Had a bloody good time laughing when I stepped into the room. They said that she had told them she was going to make one of us read her story, I can't be sure but I think they had a bet going, if the money that your mum passed over to you dad was anything to go by."

"I should be insulted my own mum betting against me, I mean this is the kind of thing you expect from your old man, but I mean my mum wow that stings." He laughed.

"You know we were wondering mates how you two got so close, I mean agents don't usually hang around with us as much as Oliver here does." Said Maddox and hastily added,"not that we mind you being here, it's just I wouldn't want my agent anywhere around me and my teammates bit of prat that one."

Zane started laughing."Well Oliver is a bit of prat himself but he went to the same boarding school that I attend, and we became mates back in my first year there, and has been my friend ever since. When he graduated last year I offered him the job as my agent."

Oliver snorted, "offered more liked begged."

"Whatever you wanker you were practically drooling at the chance to work for me!" Zane said while shoving Oliver.

"Ah so school mates that make sense so you have known Zane here for a while," said Will.

"Yep," said Oliver. "I met him when he was a doe-eyed 11 year old who couldn't make a single sentence without adding the word football in it."

His teammates chuckled. "Not much has changed then," added Maverick. "You know I'm having a Halloween party at my flat tomorrow after we get back right, you're both invited of course. I don't wanna hear any of this Zane has to be back at school to prepare for class nonsense either. You work to hard mate you could afford to turn in some late work."

Zane and Oliver looked at each other; Oliver decided to take this one. "Sorry Mave, but I have strict orders from the Headmaster to have this one back before the Halloween feast. There is a huge event happening tomorrow and they would be lost without or dear Zane here."

"Oh what's happening?" Will asked.

Zane spoke up."A competition between our school, and two others. One of the schools is from Bulgaria and the other from France. Tomorrow at the feast they will choose one member from each group that they feel will best represent their school."

"Oh well that understandable mate, since you'll probably be the one that is chosen for your school. Still wish you were coming I will have to let Alicia know you won't be." Mave said with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Err...no I won't be chosen tomorrow, and who is Alicia?"

"Just some girl who Mave here has been trying to impress for two months now, but she refused to even pay attention to him until she found out you were his teammate." Will said with a smirk on his face.

"Me, why me?" Asked Zane confused.

Mave brought his arm up and scratched his head, "well her little sister is your age mate, and a huge fan. She is dying to meet you. Alicia says she thinks your eyes are dreamy. So you see...I...when I mentioned the party she asked if you were coming, but it's not the only reason I invited you I swear!"

Zane looked highly offended."So you're just my friend so you can pimp me out to girl's sisters now?"

Mave jumped out of his chair, "Zane I swear it isn't like that all!" Zane couldn't help it anymore and busted out laughing. "You were just acting?! Jeez you had me worried there I thought you were actually mad!"

"Sorry Mave but I had to; you should have seen your face." He laughed. "Look I'll send you with an autograph or something for tomorrow and you can tell her I will meet her sister after next game."

"Thanks! That just might work" Mave said as he sat back down. "Now why wouldn't you be chosen for this competition it has sports in it right, it's not one of those bloody thinking things is it?"

"No well I'm sure it requires some thinking since most things do, but it's more because of my age. Apparently some of the events can get a bit dangerous and only students who are 17 can compete."

"Well if it dangerous it's probably for best don't want anything to happen to our striker now do we?" Will said. "So tell us what is this school that you go to like?"

"Well it's alright I guess, I mean I never really wanted to go in the first place, but my biological parents went there and had apparently payed my tuition in full on the day I was born." Zane made up. "I still refused to go, but learned that there was a stipulation on gaining my inheritance that was left by them that I had to go this school. So I agreed mainly for all the family mementos I was told that are placed in the bank. I mean I have a great family, love them with everything I got, and would never give them up, but one day I would like to know a little bit about my birth parents I suppose." Everyone nodded. "When we first enter the school we're placed into different groups based on a personality test of sorts, Oliver and I were placed in the same group that's how we met. Well during the year we compete for points for our group and whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins a cup, and bragging rights of course."

"Not only do we gain points but professors can also take them if we do something wrong. Zane here I think holds the record for most points lost in a day!" Oliver said.

"That's just because of Snape and you know it Wood," Zane said with a glare.

"Who's Snape?" Maddox asked.

"Oh he's the chemistry teacher there." Zane said. "He knew my biological father, and they had problems I guess so he hates my guts. He never misses an opportunity to insult me, take points, or hand out detentions just to make my life miserable. At the beginning of the year my Headmaster talked to all the professors and asked any detentions they gave to me be served on weekends, so my practices wouldn't be affected. Snape didn't think he should bend any of rules for me or something and gave me a detention on the first day back for arriving in class right as the bell rang. Don't really have to worry about that anymore though."

"Why's that?" Will asked

"Zane yelled at him, right in the middle of class. Basically told him there was no way he could be just like a man he had never even known. The git ended up kicking him out of class and Zane went right up to the Headmaster and told him he would never be stepping foot into his classroom again."

Mave whistled. "You yelled at teacher mate, did you get into any trouble for that?"

"Funnily enough no, I mean everyone at that school knows how he treated me. Everyone saw how bad it was, he would call me brainless, arrogant, and any other degrading names he could think of. So when I snapped I think the only thing that surprised people is that it hadn't happened sooner. I did get called into the Deputy Headmistress office the next day though."

"You never told me that, did she give you one of her lectures?" Oliver asked.

"Umm no see that's why I never told you it was just so weird and I didn't understand it at all. As soon as I walked through the door she told me to take a seat and then she stared at me for a few minutes. I knew why I was there of course who yells at a professor, so I was dreading on hearing what she had to say. So after staring at me for a bit she tells me she heard that I yelled at Professor Snape and looked like she was waiting for confirmation so I nodded my head. She then said that she also heard that I told the Headmaster that I quit his class, and I said yes I did. She then told me to have a biscuit and waved her hands towards the tray on her desk. When I picked one up she said that would be all. So I left."

"So you yelled at a Professor, quit his class, and she gives you a biscuit like a good puppy?" Will barked out loudly. They all had a good laugh for a while after that story.

"So any ladies friends Zane, I'm sure your fame gets you a little action on the side."Maddox asked.

Zane and Oliver snorted, and then looked over at each other with their eyebrows raised. "I have a feeling we snorted for two different reasons." Zane said.

"Yeah well it's just I've never even seen you give a girl a second look mate." Zane face went red and he was about to say something when Oliver interrupted. "I didn't it mean like that." Oliver said looking a little sheepish. "It's just I've never seen him look at anyone twice, I just always thought he was footballsexual."

Everyone laughed including Zane. "I guess we were snorting for the same reason, there's no girl. Guess I never pay attention to anything other than football, so no one's really caught my fancy. He said with a laugh.

The rest of night was full of beers and laughing until their sides hurt. Each of the guys shared stories from games, relationships, and even their time in school. It wasn't till the wee hours of the morning that everyone turned in. They had a long drive back home tomorrow on the bus so no one was too worried about the lack of sleep.
