Matt Dahl ½ A 11-16-09 The Mean Soccer Team “Mom, what if they don’t like me? Or make fun of me.”Rafael said. “They’ll like you Raffy you just have to be confident. Go up to them and be their friend right away.” Rafael’s mom said. “Thanks mom.”Rafael said as he slammed the car door shut. Rafael went straight up to the team just as him mom told him. “What do you want, fatty!” Leo said. “I just wanted to say hi.” Rafael said. “And?” Leo said. The soccer team walked away as if Rafael were a monster. “Gosh how did he make this team!” Leo exclaimed. “I know, his mile is probably 10 minutes!” Don said. The whole team laughed loud enough for Rafael to here. Rafael walked away with his head down, regretting and hating his mothers advice. For the rest of the two and a half hours of practice he never touched the ball. They knocked him over, and shot the ball right into his stomach every time. “How was practice honey?” Rafael’s mom asked. “Horrible!” He cried. “You were completely wrong. I went up to them and said hi, but right away they ignored me, didn’t include me, and called me a fatty. I didn’t even get the ball today.” Gosh why is mom making me go to practice, Rafael thought, I hate the team, why can’t I just go to a different team. At lease I can play soccer free of worry from being teased. At the next practice Rafael didn’t get the ball. He slammed the car door behind him and started to cry again. “Mom I want to quit. I will never get along with this team and it will never be fun for me. That is why I play this sport. Could I at least go to a different team! Please!’Rafael pleaded. “I will talk it over with your father.”Rafael’s mom said. His parents made him go to another practice and once he got to the field Leo insulted him again. “Hey, look it’s the fatty” Leo said. “Yeah, he can’t even walk up to the field.” Don said. “Hey, guys shut up!” Somebody behind Rafael said. Rafael couldn’t believe it! It was Matt and Karl, two of the stars on the team. “Stop picking on him.” Said Matt. “Hey, look Don, he’s sticking up for the fatty!” Leo said. The rest of practice, Rafael at least got the ball from those two guys. “The next practice Rafael didn’t show up. Steve, the coach, sat the kids down. “I just got a very disappointing e-mail from Mrs. Eltrut, Rafael’s mom.” Steve said. Rafael quit because two guys were picking on him. Now if you tell me if you were one of them your parents will be mad, but you will not be kicked off the soccer team. Abut if you don’t tell me if you were teasing him, well let’s hope you confess today.” Steve said. By the next two practices nobody confessed. “Coach, Don and Leo were the ones who were picking on Rafael. Me and Matt stood up for him.” Karl said. “Thanks, you guys. Steve talked with the director of the soccer program and Don and Leo were kicked off the team. Two new players came on the team, Louis and Brett. They were both remarkable players and the team was very happy for their gain. Two weeks later Rafael joined the team again when he found out that Don Leo were kicked off the team. The soccer team went on to state against Don and Leo’s new team. Rafael stopped Don and Leo from passing him every time and beat both of them to score the winning goal. Rafael was named the MVP of the state and later became professional soccer player. Don and Leo broke up as friends and never succeeded in life. The whole soccer team was glad to get rid of them.
