Nina P. O. V

I got woken up by Mom calling my name telling me I am late. Not that I cared, I wasn't such a loser at school neither straight A student. I was okay, you know what I mean.

"Nina, wake up! You're late, your cereal is ready dear. Hurry up!" I groaned and went to the bathroom.

As soon as I finished dressing up I rushed down the stairs with my bag feeling the tiny bit of disappointment for missing my morning hike.

"Good morning mom, dad," I greeted in a hurry and immediately started eating, moments and the bowl was finished, "Gotta bouce, see you!" I put on my shoes and ran to the door waving.

***

"You were almost late!" Lottie said waiting by my locker, I walked to her and opened it before starting to exchange the books in my bag with the ones for my day's schedule.

"Almost," I smiled falsely, "oh, I'm not having lunch today."

"Why?"

"Busy, I'm going to make up my team." I said gesturing to the poster of the new girls football team, hope enough girls would be waiting at the field then.

"Oh, good luck then!" We both walked to class as the bell went off. The day went on uneventful till I went to the field to find a rather large group of people waiting.

"I think that's her,"

"Oh that's the girl who won over the boys' football team!"

"What was her name?"

"I think it was Nina Statham,"

I walked hearing all the gossip around me, I almost grimaced because football players don't gossip. It's going to be a long day.

"Okay! Hello everyone!!" I stood at the ring and clapped my hand for attention and silence, when I got them I proceeded, "Name is Nina Statham, Captain of the soon to be girls football team. Nice to meet some of you! And some of you not," fake sweet mood was on.

"Count yourselves!" I shouted walking around the ring, there was loud murmuring among the group till a petite girl with glasses on voiced out.

"28 girls, we are 28."

She had a bored tone along with a bored posture, she looked serious about the whole thing. I nodded firmly, "now show me what you got! I only need half of you, you need to prove to me you are worth being on my team!" I shouted pointing as the balls box and after they registered what I was saying they started moving.

After a few minutes of me literally losing faith in life I shouted again, "Three lopes, all of you! Now!" I said and so they all did, I watched as some fell to the floor at the first half of lope one.

Who won't complete at least two full lopes then they're out, if some were slow but completed the mission nonetheless then at least they got potential.

Lope two and only 17 girls were on their feet, lope three they were 15. Seven girls were still somewhat composed while eight were practically wrecked.

They came standing in front of me waiting for the next thing, "The five of you and the three of you, this side!" I divided them and gestured the 8 worn out girls to stand on the side.

I looked at the other seven, "the seven of you are in! We will start real practice in three days, by then I expect you all to be ready to play football!" I looked at the girls on the other side, "You all are on the waiting list, prove to me you are worth being on my team! You got 48 hours!"

"Team mates! Names!" I held the notepad to write their names.

"I'm Sage Rogers!"

"Dakota Stewards!"

"Jade Robertson,"

"Trixie Cooper!"

"Amelia Morris,"

"Jackie Lewis!"

"Allie-"

"Real name?" I interrupted.

"Allison Clarke," the Burnet smiled.

"Meet you in three days! Good luck!" I waved them off to leave and they returned the favor turning on their feet.

"The rest of you! Write your names on the waiting list before leaving! And come back here after tomorrow," I finished as I watched them obey.

***
I sat to have dinner with my parents as random conversing went on, me telling dad about my team and the new formation.

Later; I was dozing off while solving the freaking boring history homework.

My phone's ring tone went off from beside me making me sit up in startle. Who is the very very VERY annoying person who is calling now, disturbing my sleep?

I looked at the caller ID and took back two "very"s because it was Lottie. I answered automatically.

"Hi Nina," she started.

"Hi Lottie," I mocked.

I heard her laugh on the other line, "mom needs groceries and I'm not going to go grocery shopping alone so you'll come with me." She set the whole thing up, right there.

"Wait- what? I don't remember signing up to be your peasant!" I retorted.

**

"Seriously why does your mom need so much stuff?" I asked frustrated,

"We are 4 heavy eaters in the house, plus mom and dad and Louis is staying for a bit too so mom needs to 'empress him ' and a few of mom's friends are coming over this weekend! " Lottie said quoting her mom.

It was funny mom empreses her son with food! Why? He's loving other people's food more?

What is this family?

40 minutes into the grocery store and we were finally loading the bags in Lottie's car.

"You drive?" I asked

" Yeah just under the hood. Only short distance around the neighborhood " she explained.

"Thanks! Do you want to come over? " she asked

"Nah, I probably should head home. I didn't tell mom I will be late, and I don't have my phone "

"Come on you can call her from my place. We will just eat this ice cream we shared in purchasing! When was the last time you ate ice cream?"

I narrowed my eyes at her, smirking lips. "Fine! "

As we arrived her place, it suddenly hit me. "Is your brother here?"

"No," she replied simply, unloading the bags and walking to the front door. I took the keys from her opening the door myself, as she was clearly struggling.

"Lottie?" Someone called

"Yeah Fizzy it's me, come and help us with the bags!" Lottie spoke

Only seconds later came a young brunette, "sorry," she said taking the bags from me.

How polite!

After unloading everything from the car to the kitchen. I sat down on the stool entertaining Lottie while she placed everything in the right place. I handed her the last of the items getting off the stool.

"Movie time!" she squealed,

"Movie? I agreed on no such thing. Did you even finish your homework?"

"I have you know I did. Let's go!" she said dragging me by my wrist and taking the ice cream tub and a couple of spoons.

"Girls! who wants ice cream? " she called.

"Did you get my favourite?" one of the twins came asking "Nina!" she squealed as she saw me.

I hugged her "hi babe! I came to see you!" I played along.

"Phoebe! Nina is here!" she said and I marked her by her clothes as Dasie.

A few minutes later all 5 girls of us were sat watching an episode of Scream Queens. The twins were having a blast of emotions while Lottie took advantage of that and made them even scarier.
"Lottie! How many times did I tell you not to let your sisters watch these stuff?" Her mother came

"What? its fun!" Lottie argued, I agree it is.

"It's not fun when they can't sleep at night! Girls up to your room!" she retorted.

The twins walked straight up. "Oh hi! Nina! I am sorry sweetie! How are you?"

"I am good thanks. How are you?" I asked

"I am very well, how is your shoulder?" She asked

"Oh its alot better!" I said

"I am going to my room!" Fizzy said

"I am going to go cook you guys something," Johannah said.

"No! I better get going!" I said

"No! Why?"

"Because I have stuff to do!" I said, honestly I didn't but I was secretly bored and wanted to take a walk. Maybe make up for my morning hike.

"Too bad! Alright then I will see you tomorrow," Lottie said walking me towards the door. I said goodbye to her mom and left giving her a quick hug.

I walked heading to my house it was already past 7 and I was fairly tired not having slept all day. The team training was so exhausting as well.

I still wasn't feeling the place, I had to remind myself that this is not home and It will never be. I just really want to go home. It's not even a week already and I have manged to make minor trouble.

It is actually always fun to make trouble and beat up people especially the rude ones. Like I don't think I am a bad person I just don't like being picked on or even thought of as an easy target.
I like taking care of people who seem hard to take down.

I remember when I was first introduced to Melanie one of my old friends she used to get bullied everyday, this one time I stood up for her bully she learned how to speak up for herself or actually beat up cause you don't speak with these kind of people you interact.

"Fancy running into you here!" I heard.

I looked in front of me, Louis.

"Not excatly, " I said walking past him, rolling my eyes at his over joyous visage.

"So where were you coming from?" He asked

"Why should I tell you?" He just looked at me, "Lottie's house!" I replied wanting to get on with it.

"Really! I would have came earlier if I knew you were there!" He said walking beside me and shoving his hands in his pockets. I walked a bit faster trying to lose him.

"What are you doing?" I asked

"Putting my hat on what does it look like I am doing?" he replied nonchalantly, adjusting his beanie.

"I mean why are you walking with me?" I asked, he's too sticky just like his sister. I can put up with her but he's.... I don't know really annoying. Not because we had a few moments at the field means that I am cool with him!

"I am walking you home? Obviously not letting you walk alone now at this hour!" He said.

"So you're going to protect me?" I mocked

"Maybe, "

"You're weird," I told him.

"I like being. Don't you think the world would be boring if I was amazing. Like I am already charming, can play the piano, and sing and play football and I am funny, mischievous, quirky even boys want to date me!" He said.

I laughed, "I mean the least I could do is be weird and give other guys a chance," he continued making me sink into a fit of chuckles.

"Do you want to do something mischievous?" He asked
