Callies POV

"CALLIE, CALLIE!" I heard someone call my name down the long hallway.

"whats up coach?" I replied as I waited for coach Shade to catch up to me.

"why are you not trying out for softball this year? try outs started Monday, I looked for you but you weren't there and we need every bit of that talent that you have this year"

"I've been uh busy" I state back to the red curly hair and pale skin that was standing in front of me. I start to close my locker as I feel his hand grab mine.

"you need to play, for you and well- for me too. Come on Callie at least come and try out" he pleaded with his hands put together palm to palm as he waved them at me like he was praying.

"I can't- well I wont, I'm over the drama and over the girls, last year was aw-" He cut me off

"last year was last year, put it behind you and grow some bal- er respect for yourself and come try out, try outs start at 3 today, I wont hold it against you even though its the last day of try outs, so don't be late" and with that coach ran down the hallway before i could talk my way out of it. I guess I'll be headed home after school.

Walking into the gym brought back so many memories. The sound of the pitching machine and clink of the ball hitting against a bat filled my ears. Looking up I see coach smiling ear to ear as he jogs towards me.

"glad you could make it" he states as he stands in front of me.

"I'm not thrilled about it but you know i love to play the game"

"alright well we're going to do some warm ups here soon so stretch out and get your head on straight" with that he pats my shoulder and runs back towards two coaches Ive never seen, not only did the coaches from last year have a horrible season but we also get new coaches every year which doesn't help the moral around here, no one wants to stick around and coach a bunch of high school girls that suck at a sport like softball. Of course there were a select few girls who could play, including myself but still 3 players on a field of 9 girls cant hold the team up.

I started to stretch my muscles as I hear a screeching whistle letting all the girls now in the gym that try outs were beginning.

"ladies, ladies, ladies, listen up I need you to do 5 laps around the complex and then start to warm up those bodies, we have a long try out ahead of us!" coach yelled, you could hear a bunch of sighing and a few choice words as we all dropped our gear and started the long running journey ahead of us.3 hours later, I was exhausted, my tanned skin was now red from running, grounding balls, and pitching. My hair was slicked back from sweating so much and every muscle in my body was screaming at me.

"Callie!" coach shade yelled at me from across the gym, waving his hands at me to come over. I set down my glove and pulled off my cleats.

"Hey coa-" I stopped mid sentence when I saw a blonde hair blue eyed woman sitting next to him. She was beautiful, the outfit she had on hit her in all the right places and thos-, What are you doing Callie? focus focus focus

"EM- hey coach" I tried again as i cleared my throat. He looked at me with a confused faced.

"Callie, I would like to introduce you to Arizona, Arizona Robbins, this is Callie Torres" I stuck my hand out to meet hers, I felt a shock as her hand rested in mine and quickly pulled my hand back.

"you can call me Arizona, or coach" she replied, I again felt myself get all sweaty and butterflies in my stomach as she smiled at me, her dimples showing in her cheeks. She truly was beautiful.

"CT, or Callie works for me" I slowly reply back to her, trying to catch my breath that i just realized I'd lost.

"well hopefully I'll see you around then" Arizona replied to me as she turned back to talk to coach shade.

I slowly turned on my heels and started my way back to my bag, what was i thinking checking her out like that? I don't even like girls, yet here I was checking out my coach. I shook my head as i tried to clear it. Picking up my phone, I had no missed calls just one text from mark.

"how'd try outs go?" it read

"pretty well i think"

"are you coming over after?" he replied back

"if you would like me too yes, I need to shower first though" I quickly typed back.

"No need for that you'll be sweating even more when you come over ;)" he replied back. I rolled my eyes, leave it to mark to be a man whore.

"alright ladies, all names who are on this list made the team, if your name is not on the list thank you for taking the time to try out better luck next year" coach shade said holding up a white sheet of paper before pinning it to the bulletin board behind him. All the girls rushed to see whether they made it, some cried as they walked away and some walked away with smiles from ear to ear.

I rose from the section of bleachers that I was sitting on and slowly walked towards the board. Pushing my way to the front of the crowd, I stopped and looked at the paper. The first name under varsity read CALLIE TORRES. I smiled to myself as I turned on my heels and walked out. Maybe this wont be such a bad season. I made varsity and I have a smoking hot coach.
