Chapter 3

Alyssa's POV

The next few days went by in a blur. But let's just say they were my happiest days till now. I had seen my mum and had a few more out of school encounters with Isabelle.

It was time for the soccer season to begin and tryouts for the team had begun. I already had a place on the team as captain because coach had already decided on having me.

I was on the field, helping my coach, Mr. Anderson, for the preparation of the tryouts.

I had always been close with him, he even knew about my home life and was always there to help me out. Some days he even picked Brandon from school for me.

"Hey Lys, I just wanted to give you a heads up, we're having a new assistant coach this season!" Coach said and brought me out of my own thoughts.

"Oh yeah? That's good, you'll have more help with the team now!" I replied enthusiastically.

"Yeah! So, how's Brandon?" he asked.

"Bran's great! He's been hanging out with his best friend a lot more these days." I answered.

"Ah! That's a good! Come on the students are here!" he pointed out.

When each kid made it on the field, coach addressed them and made sure they knew how much it matters to be on the team.

I was deep in my thoughts when I heard that angelic voice beside me, "Hey Alyssa!" she said.

"Woah, Miss Willow, you scared me!" I gasped out.

She let out a soft chuckle and said, "Sorry, didn't mean to."

"That's ok! But what are you doing here anyway?" I asked curiously.

"Well, you're looking at the new assistant coach for the season!" She replied with a smug smirk.

"Wait what?! You are the new assistant coach! Wow, I didn't see that coming!" I replied.

"Yeah, it doesn't seem like it but I used to play soccer in high school and continued in college." she said.

"That's cool! I guess I should introduce myself formally in terms of the team now, huh?" I chuckled out.

"Hi, I'm Alyssa Langford. Captain of Silverstone High soccer team." I held out my hand.

She let out a cute giggle and shook my hand,"Hey, I'm Isabelle Willow, assistant coach of Silverstone High soccer team."

We were both trying to keep our laughter in control but after a few seconds we both burst out into uncontrollable laughter until our eyes started tearing up.

When we finally realised where we were, everyone was looking at us weirdly. We coughed awkwardly to divert the attention away from us.

We both gave each other a side glance and then something really unexpected happened. Isabelle winked. Isabelle Willow winked at me.

My breath caught in my throat and a deep blush appeared on my cheeks. She gave me a smug look with a sexy smirk.

I all but melted right there.

I thought, "Oh Miss Willow, what are you doing to me? Stop killing me with your gorgeous looks!"
