Chapter 1 Ready
Lucy was pumped for her soccer game today. It was the finals of the U.S.A Cup. She couldn’t take her eyes off the clock until the bell rang for the end of the school day.
When she got home she looked at her jersey. Dark green with blue stripes going up and down on the jersey. On the back of the jersey is a nice number one and her last name Stavinski in yellow on the back. Her shorts are blue with green stripes going up and down.
Her team, the Mockingbirds never got this close to winning so, they were determined to win. They were playing the Kickers who won the U.S.A Cup five times in a row but, they practiced hard for this moment. They were ready.
Chapter 2 Game Time
Lucy put on her headband and then walked over to the field to see three of her teammates warming up. Molly and James were warming up together while Lila was waving her over to where she was stretching.
Once everyone was there Coach Matt told them positions. Then they did their cheer then went on the field. They got to start with the ball. Lucy passed it to Lila to start the game. Lucy got an early breakaway three minutes in. She ran up the field as fast as she could. Right at the top of the goalbox she was ready to shoot and bam! Lucy wished that was her hitting the ball but, she tripped over something and fell on her face. The weird thing was it wasn’t the ground and it wasn’t someone’s foot. She stood up and saw the Kickers had scored.
For the rest of the game everybody on our team kept on tripping around there goalbox but, the other team didn’t trip once. So, the Kickers won 1-0.
Chapter 3 Cheated
Lila and James are twins and think alike. So, they both thought the same thing that night. They cheated. Lila said, “Everyone on our team tripped around the same area.”
“We need to find out how and we need proof,” James said.
“Agreed,” Lila said.
So the next day they went back to the field to investigate. What they found was troublesome. A clear piece of string laying on the field. Lily remembered the goalie smirk every time one of us tripped.
The first person they went to see was the goalie. So, they walked up and rang the doorbell. The goalie introduced herself as Evelyn. They asked her why the players on the Mockingbirds kept on falling.
Then Evelyn said, “We really did a good job.”
Then Lila asked, “What do you mean.”
“Nothing,” Evelyn said a little too quickly. Realizing her mistake, she slammed the door shut.
“Now we need to find out who else did it.” Lila said.
“How are we going to ask everyone on their team,” James asked
“By being sneaky you nut brain.” Lila said
Chapter 4 Sneaky Nut
So they went home and Lila made sneaky nuts. Nuts that can open and have pieces of paper in them.
The next day they the put the nuts at each house and then they would knock and then hide trying to read faces, hear words, and be sneaky all at the same time.
They now knew who did it so they told the Kickers coach and Coach Matt. The Kickers got disqualified so, the Mockingbirds won! Lucy the team’s captain felt so proud of Lila. Now Evelyn and Mya a tall girl are running laps.
The nut saved the day!
