The next few days Rylen didn't have time to think about Enrique. She got too busy in full day practices.

The rest of the time she slept, or read.

It was two weeks later the tournament started with Rylen's team having the 1st match with Seville Lions.

"Ry, be calm, alright? Just don't lose your focus. We want you to win, but it won't change our love for you. Comprende?" Her Papa said putting his hands on her shoulders as Rylen looked up at him from her shoes.

Her Papa, as usual, wore her jersey and jeans. He was clear in showing his support every time, that always made her feel confident.

"Sí, Papa. I won't let you down. I promise," She told him.

Her Papa gave her an encouraging smile, he patted her head and then went to sit with her Mama and Reyanna.

She missed Roman. He was here in her last game, but she was satisfied knowing that Roman would see her via live stream. He would watch her match no matter what.

As the Coach gathered the team, Juan and Sánchez stood beside Rylen. The three were almost inseparable. Almost because both Sánchez and Juan being boys spent their time in chasing girls, and now being in a relationship. Rylen, on the other hand, spent her time with video games, reading books or her family. Rylen knew Juan since play school. They found Sánchez much later in 5th grade. They were brothers for life, for Rylen was one of the boys.

Coach repeated the strategy, and the team listened to it for the last time very carefully. After Sánchez's motivational boost, the team went on the field full of energy. They shook hands with the rival team, stood for their national anthem, and then dispersed.

As Rylen took her place, she saw her family cheering for her. She smiled and waved at them, and waited for the game to start. Juan and Sánchez gave her a nod telling her that they were as ready to kick Lion's ass.

Half time started, the score was 0-0.

Coach patted Rylen's back for saving the 3 goals. Two of them were too damn easy to save. It was careless, but the 3rd one was a trap. It was Rylen's luck when the striker hit the ball again, it hit the pole rather than the net, and Rylen caught it.

Meanwhile, the Bulls couldn't get through the Lion defenders. They came nowhere near the goal in the 1st half. As the game resumed, all the defenders were trying to stop Juan and Sanchez from keeping the ball. Rylen recognized the type of play.
