Vanessa and Mark headed to the field with other members though Zora was jealous.
Coach....Its good to see you again guys.Mark, i need to talk to you after here.
Mark....Okay coach.
Coach....Anyway, we have a match on friday so we need to train hard to win.Everyone, put on your jerseys and get on with the training.
They started training as usual, they took a break, Mark brought two bottles of water and went to Vanessa who was with Aaron, he gave it to her and left.
Aaron....What was that?
Nessa....Am asking myself the same thing.
Aaron....Mark being caring and kind to you, it means he has a thing for you.
Nessa....A thing for me? Hell no! He cant have a thing for someone as lowly as me, am sure his standards are high.
Aaron....Your clueless Vanessa, we men are very suprising because when we fall for someone, we dont look at their standards.
Nessa....Still, its impossible.Lets go back to training.
Training later ended and they showered then headed home.Vanessa took a bus and sat behind only to find Trenk there.
Nessa....You?
Trenk....What?
Nessa....I've spent days without seeing you at school, is everything okay?
Trenk....How do you know Mark?
Nessa....Well, am in the soccer team and his the captain, why?
Trenk....Nothing.
Nessa....I heard that you guys are beefing.
Trenk....Not you concern.
Nessa....Sorry.(These two hot guys have the worst behaviors, they are always moody.Well, atleast Mark....is somewhat good to me now days).
The bus stopped and she left, she went home but Martha was back.
Nessa....Hi mum, am glad that your finally back.
Martha....I missed you dear, sorry for not telling you when i was coming back.
Nessa....No worries, we were good with dad.
Martha....I see, come and check out what i got for you.
The next day, she went early to school to train as the coach told them, they trained until it was friday morning.
Coach....Guys, today is the day we win our twentieth trophy as Stanford's fifth soccer team, are you ready?
Team....Yes coach.
Coach....Good, but Vanessa, am sorry, your on the bench because these guys are big.
Nessa....What? But coach...
Mark....We are going with her in the first half coach, she has been training hard, not for the bench.
Nessa....(Did he just....play the hero card for me? Damn! He looks cool and hotter when his serious).
Coach....Okay, since the captain insists, so be it.
Nessa....Thanks coach, i wont disappoint you and you too...captain.
Mark....Okay guys, lets go Stanford and show'em what we've got.
Vanessa wore her jersey with number four, they entered with their supports cheering for them but mostly screaming Mark's name because of his looks.
Martha was also there since she loved football alot with Zora and Trenk.The first half started and it ended with non of the teams scoring a goal.
Coach....Vanessa....
Nessa....Please coach.
Coach....I was saying that your speed is good, but we need a goal.
Nessa....Got it coach.
Coach....Now go back and give it your all.
They went back and in the first minutes, Mark scored a goal, the crowd cheered for him screaming his name, expect for Martha who looked annoyed at him.
As the match was about to end, Vanessa scored a goal and it was two goals on one goal, they won.Suprisingly, Mark went to Vanessa and hugged her, she was suprised, her heart started racing as if it was going to pop out of her chest.
Students....Its happening again, Mark cant control himself around her, am so jealous.
They started taking photos of them, Martha, Zora and Trenk saw them and left not happy.Mark stopped looking at Vanessa's face who was starstruck.
Mark....It was...because of....
Nessa....Because of....what?
Mark....Anyway, that was a good goal.
Nessa....(Why is he looking at me with those eyes like this? Its like his staring in my soul.My heart is racing...what is this?)
Mark....Anyway, lets celebrate tonight, my treat.You in?
Nessa....Well, i will come.
Mark....I should...go and shower...you should too.
Nessa....Of...course.
She went to the shower and looked at her face in the mirror.
Nessa....My cheeks are all red, did i blush with him? What is happening to my heart? But why did...he hug me? He chest is so wide and musculine....it felt warm....what am i thinking?
She showered and got a call, it was Martha calling her to go home.
Nessa....But i have plans with the team, i have no choice, am sure its urgent.
She went home, Martha was waiting for her angrily.
Martha....What is your relationship with Mark?
Nessa....Mark? You know him mum?
Martha....Just answer me at once.
Nessa....His the soccer captain, that's all.
Martha....Now listen to carefully! I dont want you to associate with him in anyway, his not what you see in his face.
Nessa....What...do you mean?
Martha....That boy is not just evil, his a murderer and his darned family.Am saying this because am trying to protect you Vanessa, just listen to me and stay away from him.
Nessa....I should...head to my room.
She went in her bedroom.
Nessa....Why does everyone tell me to stay away from him? Did he perhaps....do something bad....like murder? Mum wouldnt have said that if it werent true.But he seems nice somehow though he acts evil, am confused now.
She recieved a text from Mark.
Mark....Where are you? We are waiting for you?
Nessa....Am sorry, something came up and i cant come.
Mark....Is it that important...than being here with me? I mean...with us?
