The Player and The Freckled Girl

We're not leaving until we get this right 3 times in a row

"I wanna try something a little different this time boys, just in case," I say I gather everyone around in a huddle.

"every team will have watched gameplays of us to see where our weaknesses are so we have to come up with an unexpected play," I tell the team, coach gave me the go-ahead before practice so I just need to teach it to them

"Is it not a bit late to be trying new tricks?" Zack asks

"where we not the ones that did the Statue of Liberty for the first time in the game?" I reply back with getting him to shut up pretty quick.

"Alright this is how it's going to go down. We'll set up like a normal running play and trick the team into thinking we're going to Serv or Tobs, at this point Charlie you're going to let you man go and get past you" I say getting odd looks from everyone

"what! But as soon as I let him go he's going to pummel you to the floor" Charlie says

"I'm well aware of that Charlie but he's not going to get a chance because you're going to turn and I'm throwing the ball straight to you," I tell my centre forward

"This is going to be tough to pull off Dan," Jackson says

"You're right it is going to be difficult but we're the best team in America or did you all forget that? We've beaten the best teams across state like it was a pice of cake so why is this any different?" I say to my team not liking the attitude I'm getting

"your captain's right boys, I gave her the go ahead to run this through with you all because I believe that you can all do it" Coach says coming over

"I don't know about you lot but I'm down for anything, we've made it this far why not give everyone a show?" Tobin says backing me up

"I'm in" Serv says looking at me and putting his hand in the middle.

"Me too" Zach says and soon enough everyone has their hands in but Charlie

"What do you think Charlie, do you reckon you can help us pull this one off" I say to my main man

"I suppose it's worth a shot right" He sighs out smirking at us while we cheer.

"Alright then, show me how it's done," Coach says stepping back and letting us do our thing

The two teams split off and I head over to Charlie wanting to talk to him before we give this a try

"Charlie come here," I say waving the boy over

"I know what you're thinking and stop it, I wouldn't have suggested the play if I didn't have total confidence that you can do it," I tell him 

"I'm just worried if I let my guy go he's going to seriously hurt you," Charlie says and I put a hand on his shoulder

"Charlie listen to me okay, I'm going to be perfectly fine I can take a tackle any day of the week, all I'm worried about is getting the ball out of my hands and to yours," I tell him reassuringly

"alright you're just like a sister I never had and I don't want to see you hurt" Charlie tells me sincerely

"I'm the little sister that would beat your ass in a fight any day of the week so get your butt back in position," I say shoving him towards the players.

"Hut!" I yell to Charlie and receive the ball off him, he doesn't bother guarding his man at all and just lets him run right at me

"shit! I'm sorry Dan" He says running back to help me off the floor

"you're good Charlie, let's give it another go this time hold you man off for a few seconds alright, push him as far back as you can," I tell him and he nods his head before we set back up again
