Evelyn Kack was playing in the biggest game of her life.

It was always a big game, but this one was the biggest because it would get her the sweet medal she dreamed of.

"May!" Evelyn screamed, wide open as the girl was bogged by two defenders.

May kicked the ball and Evelyn rushed down the field to the goal, dodging rogue defenders.

This goal to become the world champions.

Evelyn aimed the ball for the upper corner of the net. She kicked and it soared. The goalie jumped and Evelyn watched as her hands brushed the ball and the ball slid into the back of the net.

Evelyn threw her arms up in victory. May crashed into her, and they cheered, waving their arms, as the whole team formed a messy huddle.

In the chaos, Evelyn got lifted up into the air, and paraded around like she was the trophy. And then men in suits emerged on the field.

Evelyn was the captain- the youngest ever- so she went up and graciously accepted the tower of clear glass.

She hoisted it above her head and turned to her team. She ran back over to them as the Illéan national anthem started playing.

They all put their left hand over their heart, a sign of respect and listened to the song of unification.

As it finished, they ran together, up to the huge stage that had been set out. The men in suits draped a medal around each of their necks.

They had one more big team hug before departing into the locker room. Sweaty, but still whooping and cheering.

Evelyn sat down and removed her jersey, and slid on a white t-shirt, and then went into a stall to change.

"Girls, there's mail for some of you!" She heard Coach Henson calling out.

The coach listed off names, "Evelyn" she called and Evelyn took the envelope from the coach.

She stared at the royal purple seal.

"What is this?" The coached shrugged. Evelyn tore it open.

She quickly skimmed the letter. She could hear audible gasps from the girls around her.

"Are you entering?" Marie, one of the girls asked her.

"I think it would be rude not to," answered Evelyn.

——————————

Evelyn stood in line with May and Marie, as girl filed through to the building. They laughed at girls with too much makeup and giggled at the cleavage some girls showed.

"Look at that girl. She's probably a professional seductress," May said.

Evelyn laughed, "At least she's not a clown like that one."

The girls finally got to the front of the line and when they got there, Marie and May shoved Evelyn in front and she gave her best champion smile.

And that concludes the first five chapters! I decided it was time to give the book a proper cover and I loved the way it turned out! Thank you all for voting and commenting on these first few chapters. I hope to get the first full chapter(which will be about the girls getting chosen) before the new year, the 27-28 is my aim date!

Thank you again!

Cheers,

Angie
