Cherreads

Chapter 3 - SCHOLARSHIP

Trenk never left Nessa's side, they bonded well and he was her new best friend since she never heard anything from Zora since she left the orphanage.

Nun....Are you ready dear? Today is the day you get this scholarship so dont disappoint me.

Nessa....I wont mother, can Trenk come and cheer for me?

Nun....Anything to get you win.

Nessa....Thanks mother.

Her coach picked them up to the playground where the match was held.Trenk was with the nun and some other orphans cheering for her.

Coach.....Listen up team, those guys might be big but your faster and more talented than they are.Now i want you to go out there and kick that ball straight in that goal, got it?

Team....Got it coach.

They lined up and stepped in the field with Nessa as the only girl.Everyone was wowed to see a seven year old girl in a boys soccer team.

People....Why did they bring a girl on a serious match like this? My son needs this scholarship, his surely gonna get it because a girl is no match for a boy in a boy's game.

The game begun, Nessa was number one and she was faster, but the boys kept pushing her and she didnt get to kick the ball since she was also scared being her first time.First half ended with the other team scoring a goal.

Coach....What was that Vanessa? This is why i didnt want you play because your a girl and your weak.Sorry but you have to be on the bench for this second half, we cant lose because of you.

Trenk....Excuse me sir, i mean coach.I think you should give her a chance coach, if she fails, blame me.

Coach....Ugh! This is why i hate kids.

Nessa....Coach, please give me a chance, i wont disappoint you.

Coach....On the bench Vanessa, now! Hey, your in for the second half now get back and make me proud.

Vanessa ran back in the field refusing not to play again, the coach called her but she refused, the second half begun.Vanessa tried hard but she wasnt as strong as the boys.

Coach....Shit! This little runt has led to my downfall yet this was my only chance to get a good job.

Trenk....GOALLLLLL...

Nun....Yes!

Coach....What happened? I wasnt looking.

Nun....I told you, Vanessa just kicked the ball right in that goal, you guys and that team are tied now.

Coach....Thank goodness!

The game ended with them scoring a second goal making them winners.They went back to their playground.

Coach....Good news guys, as for Vanessa, you got yourself a scholarship at the best school here.

Vanessa....What? But coach, i thought i will be given a school in Brazil.

Coach....But Texas is good, be happy with that.Lets go and celebrate winning our first match at a restaurant, my treat.

Nessa....Am going home.

Vanessa wasnt happy, the nun took them back home and she showered then laid down on her bed sadly, Trenk went to her.

Trenk....Why are you sad when you scored a goal, you guys won.

Nessa....I wanted to go to Brazil, its one of the best football countries because even my role model lived there.

Trenk....Thats sad, am sorry.Anhthing i can do to cheer you up?

Nessa....Nothing, thanks but i will be fine.

Trenk....Okay, i should let you rest but honestly, your talented and your fast, i've never seen a girl play soccer like you.

Nessa....Thanks Trenk.

She rested, the next morning, a family came in and adopted Trenk who just spent a few weeks at the orphanage.

Trenk....Am gonna miss you Nessa, your my first friend.

Nessa....Me too, am gonna be alone again.

Trenk....Dont worry, i will come and visit whenever and ask them to take you in with me.

Nessa....I doubt that, but am happy for you anyway.

Trenk....Your always kind Nessa.

He kissed her on the lips.

Nessa....Hey!

Trenk....I saw it on tv, its what you do when you like someone.I like you Nessa, lets meet again.

Nessa....You! But....okay.

Trenk was taken and Nessa was alone once again since Zora never came back to visit as she promised.

Nessa....Am sjre Trenk will come and visit me even if its one time.

Nun....Dear, today your starting school and its gonna hard since you will have to train soccer too.
