Hey here's the chapter, sorry it took so long. Thanks for all of your support guys. It means so much. Thanks again, Asher.
Remember to leave me your ideas in the comments!
P.S. the game is sort of like the U.S. against Japan game for the FIFA World Cup. So Tris is kinda like Carli Lloyd, who played awesome. Sorry if I am offending anyone, but I'm from America so I was so happy when we won.
Chapter 7
Tris's Point of View:
I charge for the ball after she taps it to her player. I go in for the ball but its passed back to the defense. I move up as my team moves with me. We pressure and cover the players until we get the ball, which doesn't take long. The ball is deflected off of one of the defense giving us a corner kick. This is where we do one of our new plays. Our coach thought of it so no defense would be able to cover me. I make eye contact with Lynn, whose taking the corner, and I start my run. She kicks the ball and my teammates bring the defense away from the net so I can get a clear path to the goal. Another player goes to defend me but she's too late. The ball is already deflected off of my foot and in the net, out of the keeper's reach. I run to the flag and kick it and my team surrounds me. Then I run back to our side of the field and Christina runs from the goal So we are jumping into eachother's sides laughing. I walk back to my spot and look over at Four. He's smiling at me and standing up taking me pictures. I wait for the referee's whistle and the game starts. I pressure like before and then we get the ball from a free kick not even 2 minutes later. Lynn takes the kick again and I'm waiting in the box. She kicks the ball and it deflects off of so many people. I see the ball and take a step toward it jumping in the air and hitting it with my foot. It goes in the net and I jump up in the air. This time my team and I just run back together and Christina comes up to give me a high five. The game is kinda boring. This is supposed to be one of the two top teams in league and we are winning 2-0 in only five minutes. We have over 50% of posession. There are a few times when they break free through our defense but we always get back before they can shoot. As we are coming up the field, takes a shot. Their defense tries to head it away but hits it at a bad angle so the ball goes straight up in the air. Lynn moves in a volleys the ball into the back of the net so hard and fast that keeper can't get it. I run and hug Lynn and we race back to our positions.
The referee blows the whistle to start and I pressure immediately. They pass it back and soon, they are just passing the ball around keeping possession in their own half. They are waiting for their opportunity to get a goal. Soon they get their chance. They take the ball up the side of the field but our defense is ready. We force the wing to pass it back to the dfense. But when she does, I step in and intercept the ball, cutting it behind me and passed the defender. I look up at the keeper and see that she is out of the goal. I decide to take a risk and shoot. I take another touch and use all of my force to get the3 ball and in the air and to the net. It sails over the keeper's head. She stumbles back and gets a touch on the ball. But not enough. The ball hits the inside post of net and goes in.
I stand right where I shot the ball, shocked. The team rushes over to me cheering and jumps on me. The crowd is on their feet screaming. I hear the crowd chanting Dauntless. Not even 20 seconds later, my name is being chanted. I look over to see Will and Uriah with an megaphone screaming my name. Then Zeke rushes over and screams in it.
"Hatrick!"
I run into Christina and she lifts me in the air, with the help of Lynn. They carry me back to my postition and we finish the half. We run off to the bench and Zeke and Uriah big me up opver their heads and run around. It feels like I'm flying. Will and Four come over help me down but grab my feet while the other two grab my arms. They carry me over to the bench and sit me down. We are laughing so hard. I feel like I can't breath. Christina throws me some water and I squirt it into my mouth. Tori walks over, as the coach and tells us that she couldn't be prouder. We go into a huddle. I give a speech saying me can't let our guard down. Tori comes over and hands me a box. Inside is filled with different stuff. We run over to the crowd and throw the t-shirts, mini soccer balls, and Dauntless stuff.
We go out onto the field and get ready for the second half. I tap the ball to Lynn and we pass it Kee. They take the ball down the side and cross it in. Someone is left wide open and she gets the ball. She turns and snaps the ball to the corner where Christina can't get it. The other team cheers and we walk back to our positions. The referee blows the whistle and we start again. We take a few shots but miss. They get the ball and bring it down the side.
I look around the field and see a player from the other team on the ground and the referee blowing the whistle. Shit. They get a free kick. The kick the ball and Rita accidently hits it in the net trying to get it out. Christina trys to stop it but it goes over the line. She had no chance of getting it. We walk back to our postitions and start again.
We take it up the line and cross the ball into the 18'. The keeper hits it over the net, giving us a corner. Lynn takes it and there are 2 defenders on me. I just laugh. She crosses the ball and it bounces around until Kee puts it in the net. We scream and run back to finish the game.
When the final whistle sounds, I run back to Christina and we walk over to the crowd with Lynn. The entire team joins us as we walk in front of the bleachers but stay on the field.
We cheer and I am soon lifted off of my feet by Uriah and Zeke. I luagh and look over at Christina who is laughing at me. Then she jumps on Will's back and they smile at each other. Somebody has a crush. I'm sitting on Zeke and Uriah's shoulders and they take me around the field, running.
At one point someone throws a soccer ball at us and it hits Uriah right in the stomach making him double over. This gets me off balance so I fall and hit the ground hard. It hurts but the adrenaline from the game hasn't worn off and I will never cry infront of people, let alone myself. Zeke falls right next to me. I get up, grab the ball, and punt it at the person who threw the ball. I'm laughing so hard because it hit him right in the balls.
Then someone splashes me with water. It's Four. I run over to the bleachers and grab two gatorade water bottles. I run back and squirt Four laughing. Soon everyone is having a water fight. Four looks at me and then at the water jug. We run over and lift it up. We run over to Christina, Lynn, Will, Zeke, and Uriah, and their friends and throw the water on them and run away.
They chase us all the way to my apartment. I slam the door closed and lock it and run into my room. Four follows and we fall onto the bed, laughing. My door opens and I see everyone glaring at us. Oh yeah, I forgot about Christina. Four and I look at eachother and sprint through them like bowling pins.
We run to the kitchen, soaking wet. I slip and fall and hit the ground. Four gives me his hand and I pull him down and get up. My foot flys out from under me and I fall ontop of him. We start wrestling on the ground. Then I hear laughing coming from the doorway. I stop and get up, blushing a litte bit. I hold out my hand and Four grabs it. I help him up.
Everyone laughs at us as we walk into the living room. Everyone grabs a seat on the couch or the floor. I grab Zeke's hand and flip him off the comfy chair. He falls to the floor, groaning. I sit down with my feet up on the arm and my head on the other arm. We decide to watch a movie and the whole time, Four and I are staling glances at eachother. Maybe Christina isn't the only one developing a crush.
