Chapter Four

Zach

"Zachary Herron makes another goal!" The announcer shouted my name over the speakers as I kick the ball into the net past the goalie. That's five goals I made in a row. I glanced over to the bleachers to see my family cheering me on. Next to them is my two boozo of idiots called my friends. I smiled and waved at them. As my eyes travel the bleachers I noticed jack and Daniel sitting in the corner of the top bleacher. Daniel was focus on his phone while jack was looking at, me? He winked at me and waved. I waved back slowly feeling my cheeks become more red than they already are.

"Zach come on" the coach yelled my name I snapped out of my trances running over to the group of guys around the coach.

"Okay this is the last test then I will be choosing the teams" he said. We all nod. My eyes found there way back up to look at Jack. He kept looking at me making blush even more so I focus back on the coach.

"Okay I want to play one more game but this time I will give you a number and if I call your number that means you didn't make the team and I'm sorry but better luck next time" coach said handing us each a different number randomly.

I got number 17 my lucky number.

I'm ready to do this. I walked out on the field lining up where we were supposed to.

"Okay now you know what to do please start" the coach yelled throwing in the soccer ball. My main focus was on the ball. Number 18 had the ball running on the opposite of me.  I ran after the guy trying to get the guy. Number 15 tried tripping me on but I jumped over his foot making him tripped instead of me.

I focus on my plan which was to get the ball and just run.

"Number 25" coach yelled. I glanced up to see a guy about my height walk off the field.

I grab the ball running towards my net. I was in the zone when I heard my name.

"Go Zach!" I heard jack yelled making me lose my focus and I tripped over number 26 foot making me faceplant the ground.

"Bro are you okay" I looked up to see number 10 standing there having his hand out. I grabbed it standing up. I thanked him and we continue to play.

•••
Finally it came down to only two more people had to go then we had a entire team.

I had the ball kicking and running down the field. I wanted to make my parents proud so I kept an eye on the people around me. I did trick number 23 by pretending to go one way but went the other. I was at the net but people was coming up try to get the ball from me. It was all or nothing so I kicked the ball as hard as I could. I stood there watching it in slow motion going towards the net. The goalie tried to go for it but missed it by just a few inches.

"Goal!" The coach yelled as the buzzer on the clock went off. I sighed in relief. But instantly frowned the coach still have to get two players off. So I still have a chance of getting kicked off the team.

The coach came running down out of the announcement box looked at us.

"Congratulations you guys you have officially made the 2018 Cristal clear water bay soccer team" the coach yelled. I smiled so big. I looked up at my father and for the first time in a really long time he smiled at me and gave me two thumbs up. I finally proved to my father I was worth something.
