Stuff get better here.

Chapter 6: Figures


"Ugh flippen actual fvck," I cussed hitting my head on the desk angrily. I need to learn to control my temper.

"Sorry, Danny but you were going to find out sooner or later," Becky shrugs as I proceed to another string of not so colourful profanity.

"How is it that even possible? Why did my old school - Thornfalls have to be versing my current school Holdenbridge?"  I reply my head still slammed on the desk I turn it to face Bec.

"So you think your best friend Thomas would know?"

I nod worridly.  "How am I suppose to play now"

"Miss swift, Miss Jones please behave,"  My history teacher warns before Becky can say anything.

We both give a quick yes and read our textbooks, adjusting my glasses I try to pay attention. Mahn is history boring or what? I keep thinking about football practice in the afternoon and how rude Xavier is. Flip his nickname, I'm not calling him Xray.

After school I told Bec not to wait for me and she went to the mall with Jennifer. The pitch was empty when I arrived, the boys are probably still in the change rooms, how is it they take longer then me and I have to change into my alter ego.

I sound like a fvcking superhero.

My usual red hoodie and black skinny jeans are changed into a red t-shirt and black cargo pants ending at my knees with a pair of white football boots and a cap. I have to keep reminding myself to take out my glasses and replace it with the contact lens. Believe it or not, contact lens can change a person's whole facial image. Anyone remember liv and maddie. That was my tweenhood series. 

"Hey Swift,"  I see one boy walking towards me and the bro - hug thing. The guy's name is Brady and he's a kind of punk with his electric green hair and neon t-shirts. I pick up one of the footballs and pass it to him.

"Neon is pretty cool, you really seem to like it?"  I ask as he passes the ball back.

"I love neon it's my lucky colour,"  Brady answers with a flick of his green hair. 

"Really now? Is that so?" I reply turning the ball with my foot. 

He smirks and kicks the ball into the air and catches it with the back of his neck. I clap my hands impressed. Boys are so competitive.

"You think you can do better?"

Its not a rude question, he just wants to know if I can. Grinning I go on my hands to do a head stand as he kicks the ball to me, I kick it in the air keeping it airborne.

"Cool dude, for a newbie,"  he comments with a nod.

"Thanks," I reply standing up and  adjusting my t-shirt the other boys soon come to line up with us.

Coach makes us do drills for 45 minutes before a game. We start playing, Liam one of the midfield passes the ball to fellow MD Trey who runs forward and dribbles past Archer before passing the ball to me, I see Mark trying to get the ball and try to take a shot to Jackson.  But before I can cross it Diego slide tackles me and I fall. Coach blows his whistle.

"Sorry amigo are you hurt?" the boy asks extending a hand his eyes glittering on the sun. Diego is a handsome Spanish boy, has dark brown hair that is usually shaved on the side and tanned skin, one of the members of Archer's gang.
