people I know might be reading this... still feels weird. Oh well. Either the next chapter or the one after that will be a Chacie, I'm not sure, but somewhere in the near future, I think :) enjoy!
22. soccer is a no go, or is it?
Beca Mitchell does not play soccer anymore, any other sport is fine but soccer is just a no go. I'll have you know that Beca is really good at sports, all of them, she just doesn't like playing in a competition and being watched by a lot of people. Beca transfered high school this year and she's laying low, trying to stay in the shadows. Beca Mitchell is the nerd that always makes her homework while the girls of the soccer team have practice, the only reason she's there is because they are her friends and it's nice to see them have fun. Sometimes they ask her to join them but she always declines, claiming she can't even walk like a normal person, let alone run, with a ball! Other times Beca wishes she could join them, what's stopping her really, when they see she's actually decent -really fucking good- at it, she has to join the team and is forced to step out of the shadows, she did it once and that completely backfired to it'll take a whole lot of persuasion to have her do that again. Nah, Beca Mitchell does not play soccer, other than in her backyard where no one can see her. Beca's stepfather is like super rich and they have a really, really big garden a soccer goal and a basket (yes, the midget plays basketball). And that's only outside, there's a huge gym with turn equipment and a pool inside. Beca has spent hundreds of hours practicing, working out. The hard work pays off though, Beca has really defined muscles and it's hot, she's hot. But once agian, the girl doesn't show it and doesn't talk about it, but she's really good! If it wasn't for her height, she could play in the WNBA, that's the level I'm talking about. But Beca effin Mitchell would rather appear as a nerd than act like a jock, she's rather try to teach her jock friends how to play chess than show them how to really play soccer, because it's painful to watch sometimes. The girls in the soccer team are called the Barden Bella's and they haven't been friends with Beca for too long, one day she was looking for a good quiet place to do her chem homework and she strolled past the soccerfield where the Bella's were practicing at the time. The sound of the ball being kicked around brought back many memories and it actually calmed the small girl, getting her to relax enough to stay concentrated, so she sat down and started working. After a few practices, the captain -Chloe- came to introduce herself and soon the rest followed, they were all curious about the girl who always sat next to the field with her books opened around her. And they all became friends, like some fairy tale story, very simple, very easy. Beca doesn't touch a ball and her friends never find out she's a brilliant player. But then Aubrey, one of the offensive players, breaks her enkle and is unable to play for a while. Now they're a player short and they're panicking because there's a game in a few days and if they don't find a player real soon they won't be allowed to even start the game. So Beca does what a good friend would do, pushes all her fears aside and voluntairs, they all look at her for a moment and then start cheering.
"come on Becs, show us what you got" Stacie passes the ball to Beca and smiles as if she's saying they won't laugh if she does a horrible job, which makes the small nerd cocky and she dares them to take the ball from her.
"you're serious? you're gonna get it short stack" Amy runs at the small girl and normally that would be enough to scare anyone away but Beca stays calm and makes a panna, meaning that she passed it through Amy's legs and retreived it after. Beca stands victorious as Amy grumbles.
"sorry Amy, but I'll have you all know that I got into the finally of the state championship with my last team, so yeah, I can play alright" none of the Bella's expected that, they're in shock that she never joined them
"so why are you always on the side" it was Chloe asking what they all wanted to ask
"well, I was really close with my last team and it really sucked when that fell apart, I just needed a break from the whole competition thing" the girls could hear that Beca didn't really want to talk about it so they pulled her onto the team and resumed their game.
And the game later that week? As Amy would say, "Crushed it"
