Soccer Field

3:15 P.M.

The next day was soccer tryouts. The boys eagerly signed up on the clipboard and immediately started warming up on the field. Massie and Spencer had talked on IM last night about the strategies they were going to use. They had decided on being subtle in the beginning and then slowly building up. However, it wasn't as easy as it sounded. There was still quite a bit of work that needed to be done in order to make sure everything went well.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

"Derrick," Massie called out onto the soccer field. She was planning on distracting him during the tryouts. She didn't know how, but she would figure it out soon. She spotted Derrington near the goal, blocking shots that his friends were trying to make. She walked up to him and greeted him with a hug.

"Hey, Block," He smiled, wiping his sweaty hand. "you staying for the soccer tryouts?"

Massie nodded, "Yeah, of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Good," Derrington laughed, "because you're going to help me decided who makes the team."

"I am?" Massie wasn't expecting that. She smiled; that just might give an advantage to her. "Great, I'll make sure no LBR gets on the team."

"LBR?" All the boys said,

Massie sighed, "Nothing, just do your best." She gave Derrington a quick wave before walking back to the bleachers.

"Remind me again why we have to be here?" Alicia asked, flipping her hair.

"Just in case anything goes wrong." The girls settled in on the front seat of the bleachers. The coach blew the whistle.

"Ok, everyone, gather round!"

The boys gathered around the coach-the current team on one side, and the boys who were trying out on the other. Massie eyed Spencer and Derrington. She noticed that Derrington was staring at Spencer with dislike. Spencer seemed unfazed by it. Massie sighed, so far so good.

The coach first made the boys shoot goals and naturally, Derrington was the goalie. No boy could shoot the ball into the net, past Derrington. It was Spencer's turn and he lined himself up with the ball. He looked at Derrington once before kicking the ball. It soared up into the top right hand of the corner of the net. Derrington wasn't ready for that, so he moved a second too late. Spencer's friends cheered and clapped for him as Derrington cursed under his breath. Massie was about to cheer for him too, but quickly refrained herself from doing that. Once everyone had shot a goal, they moved onto passing and dribbling.

Dylan yawned, "My God, this is really boring. How could anyone stand watching this?"

"That's because these are tryouts. The real games are so much more exciting." Kristen quickly defended.

"Well, that's what you think." Alicia smirked, "And only because you love soccer."

"You guys, shut up!" Massie snapped,

Everyone glanced apologetically at her. At last, an hour later, the tryouts were over. The boys, all covered in sweat now, hustled over to the benches to drink water and rest.

"Ew, I can even smell their stench from here!" Alicia complained,

Derrington jogged up to Massie. "So, seen anyone you like?"

Massie nodded, "Yeah, a few,"

"Great, I'm gonna go change now. But when I get back, we're going to decided, okay?"

Massie nodded. Derrington smiled and ran into the locker room.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Ten minutes later, Massie and Derrington were sitting on the bleacher, looking at the list of names on the clipboard.

"So how good do you think Bobby was?" Derrington asked,

Bobby? Who the hell was Bobby? "Um, I actually though the was okay."

"Okay? I actually thought he was pretty good." Derrington said, "What about Tom?"

Ah, Tom. This time Massie knew who Derrington was talking about. He was the short kid with the horrible buzz cut. "He seriously sucked,"

Derrington laughed, "Yeah, that's what I think too."

Massie smiled, pleased that she had gotten it right.

"Now what about Spencer?" Derrington's voice hardened when he said Spencer's name.

Massie hid her smile. "I thought he was fantastic! He should totally be on the team."

Derrington stared at Massie weirdly. "You serious? I mean, sure, he's good, but…"

Massie nodded, "Yup, he's on the team." She grabbed the clipboard out of Derrington's hands and put a fat purple check mark next to Spencer's name.

They continued going down the list. "You know we only need five more people on the team."

Massie nodded. Perfect, that allowed Spencer and his friends on the team. She immediately put check marks next to their names. She shoved the clipboard back to Derrington. "Here you go, the new people on the soccer team."

Derrington looked down at the list and gaped. "Why did you only choose Spencer and his friends?"

"Because you said that only five people were allowed on the team." Massie said simply.

"No, I know that. But why did you specifically choose them? The group?'

"Well, they're good and they have a lot of potential."

"Fine," Derrington sighed, "do you really want them on the team?"

"Yes!" Massie exclaimed,

"Fine, but only because you're my girlfriend." He gave her a half smile.

Massie threw her arms around him. "Thanks, you're the best."

"Of course," Derrington winked, getting up. "I'm going to go post the list up now." He walked over to the boys' locker room and posted the list up on the window.

Massie smiled, this had been too easy.

I don't know what's gonna happen after this chapter….but yeah…review! Luv ya!
