Friday Morning
Alex
I was up earlier than usual today. I had trouble falling asleep last night, all I could think about was Mitchie's game today. I knew it was really important for her. I got up and began to get dressed. Since we were having a pep rally for the game I decided to dress up with the school's colors. Red and White. I searched for my favorite white jeans and the school shirt. I put on my jeans and a red shirt that had the school name on the front. Anyone who saw me would know I went to Tribeca.
When I finished getting ready I went down stairs to have breakfast with my mom. She had made pancakes with bacon. My favorite.
"Someone has school pride!" she said as she saw me.
"Yeah, it's a big game today." I said.
"It's almost like you're the one playing." She said.
No. But my girlfriend is, I thought. "Yeah, well I want to go and support the team. We have a pep rally after school too." I said instead.
"What time will you be home?" she asked.
"Um. The game should be over around 7. Then Mitchie's coming over, is that okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, that's fine." She said. "Your dad called. He'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
I smiled. I had missed my dad so much. Then I remembered I hadn't told him about Mitchie yet and got a little nervous. Telling him would have to wait.
"I'm out. See you tonight," I told my mom as I left.
I drove over to Mitchie's house and I picked her up. She was dressed in her jersey and warm up pants.
"Looking good, thirteen." I said.
She smiled and kissed my cheek. "Looking hot in those jeans, Russo." She said.
"You haven't seen anything yet," I said point out the fact that I was sitting in a car.
"I'm so nervous for tonight, Alex." She said.
"Hey, don't be. You're going to be great out there. You're going to score and you're going to look good doing it!"
"But what if the scouts don't like me. What if I don't get any offers. I'm not exactly the brightest in school. I could never get to UT without soccer."
I parked the car at the school parking lot and looked over at her. "Just play the way you've always been playing. Don't think about the scouts being there."
"It's not just the scouts who will be there. The game's going to be covered by the newspaper… and the local news is coming too. This is a big deal not just for me but also for the school. Do you know the last time we beat Westview was six years ago? This is the one year that we're expected to do… better. We have State buzz and winning this game is important."
"I know. I know." I said. "Just breathe. I'll be there to watch you make history."
"If only…"she said.
Once school started Mitchie and I went our separate ways. Most of the classes were simple since everyone was excited for the big game. There hadn't been so much excitement at the school since the last football playoff game. They made it to the second round but Justin blew the game and they lost in the last few minutes. Karma got Justin bad. During my third period I decided to make a poster for the game. Since Aria was in the class with me, she helped me decorate it.
Later that day (Pep rally)
I made my way over to the pep rally with Erin and Morgan. I sat with the both of them and waited for the rally to start.
"Tribeca! I wanna see you get loud!" yelled one of the cheerleaders through her blowhorn. "Are you ready to see our girls?"
The crowd went wild. The three of us stood up and cheered as Mitchie and her team walked into the gym. They stopped and stood in a line in front of the whole school. They were in numerical order, wearing their jerseys and warm up pants. The cheerleader began to introduce each player and their number.
"Number one. Aria Hanes." She said and the crowd cheered. She continued on until she reached Mitchie.
"Alright Tribeca… I want to see how loud you can get for the team captain. Number thirteen. Mitchie Torres!" The crowd cheered so loud you could hardly hear the cheerleader say Mitchie's name.
When the cheerleader finished she asked Mitchie to step up.
"Alright Mitchie. What can we expect today?" she asked.
"A hell of a game. That's all I can say."
"You hoping to score your tenth goal of the season?" she asked emphasizing the number.
"I'm looking to win! But yeah, score a few too." Mitchie laughed.
"Good luck out there. You too ladies!" she said turning to the rest of the team.
When the pep rally was over I went to my car and waited for Mitchie. She had an hour before she had to be back at school to get ready for the game. I was sitting in my car, looking through my phone when I heard a tap on the window. Mitchie got in and I started the car.
"Choose a song," I told her. She looked through my playlist and chose Mine by Taylor Swift.
We drove over to her house, jamming out to the song. Each time the chorus came on she'd look at me and point. She was so adorable. We waited for the song to finish and then we got out. I followed her to her room and sat on her bed. I watched her grab her soccer bag from her closet. She pulled out her shorts, shin guards, cleats and socks.
"I hope you don't mind. I have to change real quick," she said as she began to slide down her warm up pants. I could have sworn she had worn her shorts underneath, but I was wrong. She bent over to pick up the shorts and I couldn't help but stare at how great her legs looked. She caught me staring and smiled. I smiled back, biting my lip. She put her shorts on and proceeded to put on the rest. I leaned back against her bed as I waited for her to finish. I was staring up at the ceiling when I felt her on top of me. She kissed my cheek and pulled me up.
"I can't help but look at you in this outfit. It's really hot." She said.
She leaned in to kiss me but I moved away before she could. I began to walk towards the door. I paused and turned my head.
"Let's go, I don't want you to be late." I teased as I walked slowly out of the room, leaving her staring at my backside. I liked teasing her.
Night (Game)
Mitchie
I got to the school a little before everyone else. Alex wasn't allowed to enter yet so she stayed in her car. I walked over to the field and began to stretch. A few minutes later more girls started showing up. When the full team was there I began the warm up. Once we finished warm up we moved on to shooting. At this point the other team had begun to warm up.
"I'm so nervous," I told Aria as we waited our turn to shoot.
"Don't be… your good luck charm is here." She said pointing to Alex who was sitting between Erin and Morgan in the front row of the stadium. I hadn't noticed that people were beginning to show up.
I looked around to see who else was there. The stadium was beginning to fill up. I looked back at Alex who was smiling over at me. I smiled back. I scanned again looking for the possible scouts and realized that my parents were here. Sitting two rows behind my girlfriend. They were sitting with my two sisters. Why were they here?
"Okay girls, bring it in." my coached yelled over at us.
We got in a circle and began to talk about the game. We wished each other good luck and then I was called over by the refs. I walked over and realized I knew the other team's captain. Her name was Caroline and I had met her at one of Ryan's parties last year. I didn't just meet her… I made out with her. Crap. She smiled at me as she shook my hand.
"Nice to see you again." She said.
"Yeah, you too." I lied.
After talking to the refs I walked over to my team and we broke it out. I went over to my starting position and the ref blew the whistle.
Alex
I could tell Mitchie was nervous from the look on her face. She started off playing well, she had a few shots but none would go in. The first half ended and the team was down by 2. After the coach spoke to the team, Mitchie ran over to the sideline and grabbed her bag. She searched for something and then walked over to her coach. She spoke to him and then walked over to me.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I have a bad headache. I think it's from the nerves. Do you have aspirin?" she asked.
"Yeah." I said. I gave her one and she swallowed it. "You're doing fine. Don't let down, babe."
"Thanks." she said as she kissed my lips.
When the second half started Mitchie was a whole new person. She was playing even better than in the first half. In the first ten minutes of the game she crossed the ball in and Aria headed it in for a goal. The game was now 2-1. It continued like that until the 24 minute mark when Mitchie took a free kick and it went right in. The crowd went wild. Erin, Morgan and I stood up and cheered.
"Go Mitchie!" I yelled.
The game stayed 2-2 until the last minute of the game. Aria had made a run to the corner and then crossed the ball in. Mitchie stopped it and took a shot that immediately found the net. The whole team ran over to hug her. I stood up and cheered like crazy. When the whistle finally blew to signal the end of the game, the team began to celebrate. They picked Mitchie up and tossed her. She was laughing the entire time. I walked over to the gate where the players come out of, waiting to kiss my girlfriend.
"Baby!" she yelled as she ran over to me. "We did it!"
She dropped her bag on the ground as she ran into my arms. I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waste. She placed her forehead on mine and stared into my eyes.
"I can't believe we just won," she said as she placed a kiss on my lips. "All thanks to you."
"Me?" I asked.
"Yes. That kiss during half time. It inspired me." She said as she placed her lips back on mine.
"Mm, Mitchie" I heard someone say. She got off me and turned around. I saw Dallas, a little girl and two adults. Mitchie's parents and her little sister, I imagined.
"Um, mom… dad.." Mitchie said.
"Congratulations," they said. "You were great out there."
"Thanks." She said. She turned to me and grabbed my hand. "This is my girlfriend, Alex."
I smiled at them and put out my hand. Her mom shook it. There was a moment of silence and then Mitchie broke it.
"Thank you guys for coming." She said.
"Yeah, we wouldn't miss it." They said.
"Um. Hey Dallas, I think I'm going to go over to Alex's for a while. But I'll be home later." Mitchie said.
Dallas nodded. I looked at Mitchie's parents who were visibly uncomfortable.
"I'll catch you guys later." Mitchie said. She let go of my hand and she knelt down in front of her little sister. She gave her a huge hug and kissed her on the cheek. She was so sweet. "Maddie, will you say hi to my friend?"
"Hi," Maddie said smiling.
"Hi Maddie," I said smiling back.
"Mitchie … Can you come over sometime this week? We want to talk to you." Her mom told her.
"I'll call you, mom." She said as she took back my hand and began to walk away.
We walked to my car and she got into the passenger seat. I could tell she was annoyed. I made the drive over to my house and turned off the car. Before I got out I looked at her.
"You ready?" she asked.
"Kinda." I said. She leaned over and kissed my cheek.
"I'll be in your room. You talk to her, okay?"
"Okay." I got out of the car and walked over to Mitchie's side. I kissed her on the cheek and went into the house. She followed and walked up the stairs to my room. I went over to the kitchen and saw my mom. I took a big breath before I began to talk.
"Mom, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about." I began.
