A 16 year old girl named Avery, who hasn't had the greatest life, isn't social and struggles in school and hasn't found her place. Avery feel that whenever she is playing she is someone else, her whole life changes when after a game with her team...
Leah's pov She is something else I thought to my self as I watched Avery get dragged back to the changing rooms. But I couldn't stop my mind from drifting to when I pick her up she was so light, she is also rather small for her age. That doesn't stop her from getting a fantastic header in. She can definitely play football that for sure. I get pulled out of my mind by there coach asking if I wanted to change clothes and I said that would be lovely. He goes of somewhere, to where I am guess there are spare clothes and I am just about to message Alex when she called me.
Alex Leah

Calm down Okay...soo are going to Yes, so I was asked by the manager of Arsenal to Scout a potential player for our team. They are young, small, Tactical, can run really fast, is a defender and can jump really high.

Then I hang the phone up, scroll down all of my contacts and press call on the mangers number.
Manger Leah
Ahh hello Leah Hello So what do you think Well I think they are good enough Really? Yes they are fast, quick thinking, and can jump really high for there age, they are also very friendly. Well thank you Leah, I will be calling the team coach and you can tell them if you want or I can get their coach to tell them. I can tell them it's fine Okay and you are going to be in that part of London of the a bit longer if that is okay Yeah that is fine thanks you Okay bye then Leah and thank you again your judgement means a lot to me. Your welcome bye Bye
Well that went well. God it's cold though, like on queue in walks there coach with clothes. He passes them to me and I go to where he says I can change.
After I have changed, I find the coach and we walk to the meeting room. I take a seat on the couch at the back. A few minutes later the rest of the team come in apart form Avery. This gets the attention of the coach.
Coach Jessica
Jessica were is Avery? Ah she was getting changed, but then all of a sudden she got really pale, I said I could stay with her, but She said she will be like 3 minutes late. Umm okay, I may ask one of you to go a make sure she is okay That fine so you do you want me to go Yes please thank you
That's is odd. Jessica then leaves the room to go and see if the kid is all right. Coach tell the rest of the team that the meeting is going to be a little late. It only been a few minutes when Jessica walks in with Avery behind her all the girls speak loudly and then Jessica says
Jessica Team
Okay guys umm I need you to not yell, as Avery has a headache and feels Ill. Okay
And with that they are all quiet. Jessica takes a seat at the table, whereas Avery comes and sits next to me on the sofa. I am worried about the kid even though I don't really know them. She looks comfortable though.
This is what she is wearing but the man is Avery

She slumps herself next to me and then the meeting begins. It's about how they are going to play in their next game, and who will be starting and if there are any injuries. The coach then says they can all go and rest up until Saturday when they are playing against another team call the WestLine Tigers, I have heard of them apparently they are quite physical. Everyone has left,well I say everyone Avery is still here and so am i, I look over at her and see that she is asleep. So now I guess I have to wake her up. I get up of the sofa and go to crouch in front of her, I then put one of my hands on her knee and one on her shoulder. I then say quietly
Leah Avery
Hey kid you need to wake up Whyyyy Because then you can go home and sleep Yeah but in a lonely apartment Look if you wake up, I will drop you at you house, as I have hired a car Uhhh fine
With that she gets up. I look at her and giggle, she looks confused so I wrap an arm around her shoulders and she wraps an arm around my waist and we walk out to the car park. When we are walking to the car I ask her
Leah Avery
You okay No I feel so ill What are you symptoms Umm hot, dizzy, tired, weak as well I am struggling to take a lot of things in, and everything just feels to much and my throat hurt, well everything just acting. Okay well maybe get your mum of someone to keep an eye on you tonight I would but....actually never mind You would but what
I stop walking and turn her around so she is looking at me but she looks everywhere else's but at me. So I put one of my hands on her cheek and I see that her eyes have got all glossy like she is about to cry, so I pull her into a hug and she tensed and first but then relaxed into me. We pulled away and I said that you don't have to tell me and she nods. We then go back to how we were, with one of my arms around her shoulder and one of her arms around my waist. So you excited for the game Yeah I am Well I can't wait to see you on action Ha yeah Well here is the car You don't have to drop me of I can walk or fine Absolutely not at this time, get in the car it's not up for discussion. Okay thank you Le No problem kid
