Hello again...
how they started the week. Here where I am living comes the heat but the bad thing is that with this pandemic I will not be able to go to the river to cool off. well without anything else to say I'll let you read the next chapter and once again thanks for your favorites and for your reviews
Let the tournaments begin part 1
"I can bear being told every day that two or more than two men fought at school, but…. A woman fighting a woman. It is something difficult to believe and to solve "said the director Chris placing a wing on her face showing that she did not believe the bad news she heard in her office.
"Director Chris I am also surprised by the behavior of my players" answered Celestino with the two women who caused the fight "I know that the two girls are good people" shows the two girls with some injuries and bruises on their bodies
"Your face is familiar to me" said Chris when he saw the face of one of the girls "what is your name young lady?"
"Jaqueline Monroy" replied Jaqueline
"Monroy?" Chris was surprised "it can't be! ... You are Miguel Monroy's daughter"
"Yes I am and with all due respect," Jaqueline replied "I don't want to talk about my father at this time."
"But how did you end up in this place?" Chris was still surprised to have heard Jaqueline's first and last name "your relatives never caused any problems".
"I'm not the same as my father!" Jaqueline screamed when the director compared her to her father "because everyone compares me to him!"
"You're worse than your father and that's why you need therapy" interrupted the other girl.
"I don't need therapy to hit you again Jewel Jacqueline" Both women look at each other with hatred
"They are both responsible for what they did" clarified the coach "Jewel you hit a woman with a disability and Jaqueline cannot control your impulses of anger and that led to a fight with Jewel".
"WHAT!" Jewel proclaimed "but she was the one who started it all"
"I heard everything you said about me" Jaqueline interrupted "about how weak I am and you made fun of my friends"
"Both have calmed down" interrupted the director "now you can tell me how it all started without shouting, insults and accusations"
A week before what happened
At Blu Sky High School, soccer tournaments had begun, both for boys and girls, many boys signed up for the soccer tournament because it was the most famous sport in Brazil and throughout the world, both Roberto and Jaqueline had been there for days. Waiting for the moment to be able to practice the sport that they loved so much since they would compete with different schools for the soccer championship in Rio de Janeiro
"Listen to what I'm going to tell you, this game is very important for all of you ... since we will compete against the best secondary schools in Rio. Last year we were eliminated but this time it will not happen since we have new recruits" he spoke coach Celestino
"Where will the tournaments be?" asked one of the players
"I'm glad you asked," Answered Celestino, "because this year Blue Sky High School will organize the tournaments for this new school year. We will have the presence of many people and many students from different schools."
"Yes ..." All the men screamed upon hearing the great news
"That's right ladies; our high school will be the center of attention so we have to show that we are good at this sport."
"Sounds perfect to me" Jewel spoke with great emotion.
"Everyone Remember one thing, you should always play with your heart, without fighting and you always have to share the ball," said Celestino. "We have to play for the love we have for this game, not just to compete."
"I agree" Blu responded excitedly.
"We are a team and we must support each other, whether you are big, young, we all carry the same feathers"
"YES!" yelled both teams
"Birds of a single feather!"
Both teams: They must always stay together!
"Let the tournaments begin!" the coach encouraged the two teams
The men's team was the team with the most recruits but only 7 of them were able to play one of them was Nico, Felipe, Rafael, a cockatoo nymph named Jerry, a blue and purple feathered parakeet named Frank, Roberto and Blu. All of them were selected to play in soccer tournaments. Coach Celestino appointed Roberto captain of the team as he observed great potential in both the player and the guide.
Few women in the women's team dared to participate but that did not prevent them from participating. One of the best players was Kimberly, Josefina, Ana, Gaby, a scarlet macaw named Rosa. Fernanda a Yellow Macaw, Joya and Jaqueline. The captain of the team was Jewel herself volunteered to cheer on the women's team
"Okay girls today we will play with a pretty strong team" Jewel spoke with her team "so we will have to play a little rough"
"I have no problem with that," answered Josefina
"But? they will take us the yellow card "proclaimed Fernanda
"As long as they don't hit you, there won't be a problem with that," Jewel replied. "Josefina, Kimberly and I will be the forwards. Gaby will be the goalkeeper and the three of you will protect the goalkeeper "I point out to Ana, Rosa and Fernanda
"Wait but where will I play?" Jaqueline asked
"I'm sorry, Monroy, you won't be able to play in this game and by that I mean that you stay on the bench," he replied in a mocking tone.
"But I wanted…
"End of the discussion" Jewel interrupted "besides we both know why you can't participate" Jewel remembered Jaqueline's weakness
"Girls ready to play" warned Celestino calling his players
"Jaqui I'm very sorry" Kimberly encouraged her friend "I really wanted you to play with us"
"It doesn't matter, at least I'm part of the team," Jaqueline replied in a positive voice.
"Jewel doesn't see the great potential you have with this sport" Josefina encouraged her team friend "so don't hesitate to play with us"
"Everyone sees that about me" confessed Jaqui "but this time I'm going to show them that I don't need to be in good health to compete"
The women's team prepared to start the soccer tournaments, their uniform was navy blue with some light blue stripes with the name of the school on the left side of the shirt and shorts. All the school students were cheering for the women to win the match. Various schools came for the tournament and also cheering for the teams wishing the best would win. While two golden eagles were preparing to start the tournament since they were the reporters
"This year the youth soccer tournaments for boys and girls will be held at Blue Sky! One of the best most recommended schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro! "The first reporter spoke
"Exactly my friend, since more than 10 years have passed since the secondary blue sky gave the honor of opening the most anticipated tournament for all soccer lovers" answered the second reporter
"For the first time in the history of the Rio tournaments, the women's team will start the tournaments," stated the reporter, "as a sign that all women have the same rights as all male men."
"That's correct dear friend" agrees the second reporter "but ... which women's team will play first?"
"I'm glad you asked because the first two teams to play are Ipanema High School against Blue Sky School"
All the students began to applaud with excitement at the knowledge that their school's women's team would kick off the tournaments. Both teams took to the court to start their first game, some men dared to whistle or wink at one of the players they considered attractive
"Where is Monroy supposed to play?" Breeze asked when she saw that Jaqueline was not with the team
"I also ask the same thing as you?" Lila answered looking at each of the players
"It is over there!" Dayana pointed out "but ... why is she sitting there?"
"Oh ... no ... they sent her to the bench" answered Brisa "is she sick?"
"I doubt it a lot" replied Lila "she was talking about this tournament all week"
The two captains of the women's team looked at each other to start the game, Jewel's presence in the center of the court made Blu understand that she was the captain of the team
"As I imagined ... Jewel is the captain," Blu said sitting on one of the benches they set up for all the competing teams. Together with her team wearing the same uniform as the women.
"So that explains why Jaque is not playing" replied Rafael
"For sure I leave it in the bank"
"They can't do that," Nico spoke with a bit of annoyance.
"As long as she is the leader, she decides who will play" answered Blu "also I think I don't blame her, I would feel bad if Jaqui got hurt" Blu remembered her friend's weakness
"Without a doubt, Jewel is a….
"Hello Rafi ..." Eva spoke, calling her friend's attention and interrupting their conversation
"Ah ... hello Evita" replied Rafael changing her tone of voice "sorry if I didn't see you and ... what are you doing here?"
"I came to wish your friends luck with the tournament" answered Eva "also to you Rafi ...
"Thank you" answered Blu and Nico
"Thank you Eva, your support will be very useful for us," Rafael replied without taking his eyes off Eva.
"And who is the team leader?" I ask curiously
"Roberto" replied Rafael
"I thought it would be you because you know how to guide your friends at all times" Eva blushes with her comment
"Well, I'm not perfect in everything" Rafael speaks in a wise voice
"I brought you this" Eva gives him a bottle of juice "it's papaya. Your favorite fruit"
"You did it?" Rafael asked with a big smile taking Eva's gift.
"I actually bought it on the corner of my house" Eva confessed "but next time I'll buy a papaya to make a papaya salad"
"Thank you Eva, I appreciate it very much" Rafael blushes
"Well I'm going, I'll be supporting you from the seats" Eva moves away from the men
"Bye" Rafael said goodbye to his friend looking at her with affection but Blu and Nico showed their taste for what they saw "What!?"
"When are you going to ask the question?" Nico asked
"I think about asking him on Halloween" replied Rafael
"I hope it works because you look ridiculous with that face you make" replied Blu
"Look who says it" Rafael looks at Blu "the man who does not admit that he is still in love with his old friend who now has a boyfriend"
"You're wrong; I don't feel anything for her!" Blu replied with an exalted voice
"Admit it Blu, you still have appreciation for Jewel" agreed Nico
"Why should I feel it?" Blu defended himself "she humiliated me for several years; she is too presumptuous and thinks she is the best in everything. Look what she did with Jaqueline".
"Well it's true but you still feel love for her" Rafael replied without ceasing to bother his friend
"Guys, the game is going to start" Frank interrupted "Jewel's team will have the ball" both men forget their conversation and watch the game
"Good luck love!" Roberto shouted with great emotion to his girlfriend "you are the best of all Ju-Ju!"
The Blu Sky High School girls' team started the tournaments. Many students observed the great talent that Jewel, Kimberly and Josefina had with the first game the other teams realized who was the better player. The first 50 minutes were an eternity for the Ipanema High School players, as three players from the opposing team managed to score a Goal. At the end of the second half, Blue Sky's team ended up winning the match to advance to the next round of the game.
"Okay guys after three hours waiting and watching three games our turn has come" Celestino encouraged the men's team
"Yes! ..." shouted all the men
"If women managed to have a victory, it is time for us to obtain it too, so it will be a double victory," Rafael encouraged his friends
"All the birds of a single feather" Celestino brought his wing closer so that the others did the same
"They must always stay together!" They all answered joining the tips of their wings (hands) as a show of support and they all entered the field
"By the way Blu" Celestino caught the attention of the blue boy "I appreciate you letting me use your saying for the team"
"Thank you coach" answered Blu and went with his other friends
"Well let the game begin"
The two leaders of both men's teams approached the center of the court to start the game. Some women were impressed by the physique of the leaders but did not dare to whistle or whistle them as they were not as daring as the men
"That Toco Toucan looks very good with that blue uniform" spoke a woman without stopping seeing Rafael
"You should ask her for her number" spoke the friend of the same woman
Eva listened to the small conversation of both women (since they were sitting near her. Along with their friends) the look they gave Rafael made her furious and a little jealous since she had a great friendship with Rafael.
"Eva, what do you think?" Leslie asked "Does the boy in number 17 have a better butt than the one in number 4?"
"None" answered Eva
"None of the competing players seem attractive to you?" Leslie looks at her friend in amazement
"Well, I like the boy from number 9," Pablo confessed, but no one paid any attention to her opinion.
"I'm not saying they are not attractive, just that none of them attract me," confessed Eva.
"Don't pretend Eva, I know you like the Toucan" Leslie looks at her friend's suspicions
"It is not true Rafael and I are great friends" answered Eva blushing inside
"If you say so friend"
"It seems that the secondary" red earth "will have the ball, I think that the men of Blue Sky do not have the same luck as the women," the reporter warned.
"But remember guys that things can change so…. Let's start the penultimate game of this day! "the second reporter encouraged
The referee blew his whistle to start the fourth game of this day but Roberto realized that Blu was not in his defensive position; on the contrary, he was in front on the left side of the court.
"Hey, what are you doing? This is not your position" Roberto runs close to Blu while the others start to play
"The coach told me to be a forward and not a defense," Blu replied without stopping running while Felipe tried to snatch the ball from one of the players but since Roberto and Blu kept arguing, he couldn't get their attention.
"Your gay partner. Stop arguing and focus on the game!" Felipe yelled at Blu and Roberto while attacking the player of the opposing team
"At what point did I tell you to leave your post? Go protect the arch together with Frank and tell Jerry to come immediately "Roberto ordered, moving away from Blu to help Felipe.
Without any other remedy Blu had to return to protect his team's arc as Roberto was the captain, he was the second in command of the team when he reached the arc Blu crashed the wing with Jerry and gave him the new instructions from the leader. The first game of the Blu Sky high school boys ended in a draw, which annoyed Felipe (since he loved to compete) but the advantage is that both teams would continue in the tournament
During the first days of competition, Jaqueline stayed on the bench but did not lose hope of being able to play and Blu protected his team's goal with Frank the Australian parakeet. Blu didn't care where in the game she had to stay as long as she could play with her friends, the sport she loved so much. But in Celestino's eyes it was not the same so he decided to make some changes with both teams
"They are playing very well girls, they all make a good team" Celestino gives each woman a bottle of cold water "we are so close to having another victory"
"Coach we have a problem" interrupted Ana the blue and yellow macaw
"What's going on?"
"It's Fernanda, she doesn't feel good"
"Are you okay Fernanda?" asked Celestino looking at his player in bad condition
"No" Fernanda confessed touching her stomach "that blow to the stomach left me gasping for air and I almost took out my breakfast"
"You better stay seated, I don't want you to hurt yourself" proposed Celestino "today you have worked a lot."
"But who will play for me?" Fernanda asked with concern.
Celestino only had three too many players to make changes, but none of them were as good as Fernanda. The Entreandor himself knew that this would be risky but if he achieves a victory with that he would reach the semifinals
"Jaqueline, come you're going to take Fernanda's place" Celestino caught the attention of one of his spare players
"Is seriously!" Jaqueline asked with great emotion.
"Is seriously!" Jewel asked in bad taste when she heard the coach's indication.
"Yes" Celestino answered without doubting his words "get ready girls in five minutes we will continue with the game"
"My God! ... My God!" Jaqueline repeated, unable to believe that he would finally play with the others.
"Finally!" Kimberly celebrated by encouraging her friend "I'm happy for you friend" gives her a hug
"I told them I would play" added Gaby joining the mood
"But coach, why did you choose Jaqui?" Jewel asked walking with the coach
"She is the only one of the three players who knows how to steal the ball and block the others" answered Celestino
"But Esmeralda can do it too" Jewel named one of the replacement players.
"Yes, but he doesn't know how to steal the ball" I answer once more "that's why I chose Jaqueline"
(Whistling sound)
"The first half is over and Blue Sky High School will have the ball after several attempts to draw against College Carlos Saldanha," said the reporter through the microphone upon hearing the whistle.
"This game is getting more and more interesting," added the second reporter, "only one team will go to the semi-finals but… who will be the winner?
"Let's find out right now!"
"So Jewel didn't agree that you should play in the first few games" Chris replied after hearing the first part of Jaqueline's story.
"Yes, but that was not what led me to hit her" Jaqueline confessed "that was just the beginning" she looks at Jewel with hatred
And we come to the end of the chapter dear readers. The name of the chapter was changed at the last minute and I added new characters, but I doubt that they will appear in the story, EL PC Rosa is mine but as I have seen it in several RIO stories many name a Pink Red Macaw and I liked that so much Name that I decided to give my character so don't think that I stole your OC. Were you surprised by the first scripts of the chapter? If so, you don't want to miss the next chapter and finally Jewel's middle name is Jacqueline, as actress Anne Hathaway bears that name (like me), look her up online. And finally I invented a school with the name of Carlos Saldanha in honor of the director and creator of RIO. . Your criticisms and comments will be heard (as long as they are related to the story) until next week.
Atte: JAQUI (JMG, RIO)
