Freya's POV
"Are you sure about this?" Sophia asks as she looks at Raven and I from the seats in front of us on the bus.
"For the thousandth time Sophia." I say. "Yes I'm sure.
"Boo." Jaelin says as Sophia pouts.
"You two act like you're not gonna see her anymore." Talia says. "Like some of us."
"You will see me everytime you play in Colorado and you all know how whipped my sister is for Jaelin so you'll probably see me in the stands at future national team games." I say as I get handed the final line-up of my career.
It's November 2028 and today is the final game of my professional career.
It's also Raven's final game.
I'm only 28, but my body can't take the day to day grind of being a professional athlete.
My knees hurt, my back hurt, my ankles hurt, my ribs hurt, hell everything fucking hurts.
Oh and I've got three benign tumors growing inside me that the doctors are pretty sure have resulted from me being stabbed by my father and I'm having them removed in a week.
"Better see you in the stands." Azura says. "Big Meanie."
"Poohead." Raven says as I look at tonight's line-up.
1-Katana Solo
2-Sakari Bitsuie
4-Naomi Girma
12-Tierna Davidson
23-Emily Fox
2-Azura Nwigwe
6-Jaelin Howell
11-Sophia Smith
14-Talia Martin
10-Raven Nightingale(C)
7-Freya Nightingale
After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax for the rest of the drive while snuggling Raven.
Once at Rocky Mountain Stadium, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.
When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.
Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
When I get onto the pitch I head to the center circle.
As I approach the center circle I noticed the stadium is already packed, it's very quiet, and my teammates are all looking at me.
"What?" I question.
"HAKA TIME." Hazel Harris shouts from Emma's arms making me chuckle then I do the Haka for the last time as a professional.
Taringa whakarongo!
Kia rite! Kia rite! Kia mau!
Hī!
Ringa ringa pakia!
Waewae takahia kia kino nei hoki!
Kia kino nei hoki!
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora' Ka ora'
Ka mate, ka mate
Ka ora' Ka ora'
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna ne I tiki mai whakawhiti te rā
A Upane! Ka Upane!
A Upane Kaupane
Whiti te rā,!
Hī!
After I finish doing the Haka, the crowd cheer very loudly I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, then I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.
After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my warm up top, my long sleeve white and red undershirt, and my game shorts.
