Vanessa started school while training soccer since she was on scholarship, she was always tired but ambitious.Years went by, but Trenk also never came back, she was now fifteen years old.

Nessa....I cant believe that Trenk never came back like Zora, i dont even remember his face clearly, its been years now but i hope they are doing fine wherever they are.

As she added a year to her age, she became very good at soccer and she kept studying on scholarships.

Coach....A word Vanessa.

Nessa....Yes coach.

Coach....This match is gonna get you a scholarship in Stanford and i know how much you love that school.They will also pay you monthly allowance.

Nessa....For real coach?

Nessa....Thanks coach, am so excited about Stanford.Worry not coach, am gonna give it my all not to disappoint you.

Coach....Now lets get there and show them what we are made of.

The match begun, Nessa chased the ball since she was faster, she played very well but everyone was suprised to see a girl in a soccer team, yet she was good at it.

Martha....Who is that girl? I love her spirit and she knows what she is doing, i want her.

The match ended with them winning, she celebrated her birthday with her teammates and the ciach, after, she went to the orphanage with a wrapped box.

Nun....Look at you, always suprising me, so, whats with the smiley face?

Nessa....Am going yo Stanford mother.

She went to bed and slept for hours.

Nun....Vanessa, get ready because someone is taking you, you have parents now.

Nessa....What?

Nun....They are kinda impatient, they only said that its you they want, hurry up and go.

Nessa....But...how?

She got ready and went to them.

Nessa....Am gonna miss you mither.

Nun....I know, but this is for the best, you go to Stanford yet you have a family.Luckily, they live near Stanford so it wont be hard for you at all.

At last, Vanessa was adopted at the age of nineteen, they took her to their place and she given a room, she was happy to finally have a family.

Martha....So, am a lawyer but my husband stays home, we have issues going on as you see, but dont worry, just focus on your talent, make us proud honey.

The next day, she took her for shopping and bought for her clothes, shoes, makeup, jewelry and got her hair done too, she looked dazzling.

On a fresh monday, they went to Stanford, she was registered and went to class, she was happy that her dreams were slowly coming true.

Nessa....(At last, am at Stanford, hope my soccer dreams all come true so that i go to Brazil or Madrid and pursue them).

As she was sitting in thoughts, a hot guy entered the classroom, he caught her attention.

Nessa....(OMG! His so hot, i've been so busy with soccer to even think about boys, but this one caught my attention easily.)

As she was still staring at the hot guy, another hot guy arrived and walked to her.

Nessa....(Goodness! Its raining hot guys today, is he coming to me? Why...how....?)

Mark....Are you Vanessa?

Nessa....Huh? Me? I mean...iam.

Mark....Lets meet after lessons at the soccer field.

Nessa....Ok...okay.(So this hot guy clearly wants to hit on me? This is so good, i like this school very much, who wouldve known that i will have a hot boyfriend? But the other one is hotter, let me just stare to satisfy my single eyes.)

Two hot girls entered the classroom, they sat down next to Nessa.

Nessa....(This classroom is filled with only hot people, is this a place for me?)

Zora....Are you new here?

Nessa....Iam.

Zora....I see.

It was Zora but she didnt recognize Vanessa, nor did Vanessa recognize her since its been twelve years.Lessons begun, when they ended, Vanessa went to the playground, the soccer team was there, Mark was also there.
