((OOC: Just for the record, until someone joins in... they are talking to each other in Greek.)) Neils and Jeanette were out on the soccer feild having a little fun. Since they didn't have a backyard to kick their soccer ball around they decided to come out to have a little fun. He looked at Jeanette who had slipped on her cleets, soccer pads, shorts and a tank top. He was in basically the same thing only he had a t-shirt he had ripped the sleeves off of. Jeanette's black hair was tied up in a ponytail with a pink ribbon wrapped around the ponytail holder to hide it, and her black brace that sat on her scarred and mangled looking leg was visible since the soccer shorts didn't reach all the way to her knees. "Ready to lose, Jay?" He asked playfully
She snorted out a small laugh and shook her head rolling her eyes towards the sky. "You may be able to beat me at Twister these days, but you know I'm the undisputed winner of our soccer games." She said playfully as she set the purple and black soccer ball between them.
Her smirked gently and quickly took the ball with his feet. She quickly took it from him smirking as she dribbled it towards her goal. "She's moving in for a goal, can she do it?" She said as if she was the comentaitory. She looked up to see Neils going in for a slide and she kicked the ball forward and jumped over him when he slid to try and steal the ball away. She chuckled and was making her wa to the goal. "She's going to do it... There she goes." Suddenly Neils kicked it away from her and stole it away. "Oh, but the big brother steals it away from her." He said looking over his shoulder at her as she quickly began crowding her trying to steal it back.
They had been having these one-on-one games since they both could dribble a soccer ball. Back in Greece on occassion they would've had a friend or two playing on each others teams. They had their fun then and neither one of them were going to let Jeanette's disability slow them down, especially Jeanette. |

Katie walked in ipod in her ears again...actually this time just walking around...she had nothing at the moment that she had going on so she walked th trail going around the school music blaring over her ipod.....She stopped watching some poeple in the soccer fields. She recognized neils but not the girl that was with him though by the looks of her she guessed that she was related. Stopping she watched them as they'd played. She hadn't played soccer since she was eight or nine years old...when she started cheerleading and dancing.
She put her ipod on the bench .....she didnt think anyone would take it, besides everyone knew katies ipod...it was hot pink with her name in engraved gold foil in like sixteen different places going in all different directions. she watched and walked along the sidelines grinning and waving to Neils when she saw him look over mind if i play? im...surely not as good as you guys.....but i got a lil left in me she said laughing watching them

She looked over at Neils and smirked gently. She chased after him and easily stole the ball away from him. She stopped though when she saw Katie. She looked over at Neils as she asked if she could play with them. There was questioning written all over her face. Neils said something to her Greek then looked to Katie. "I don't mind Katie." He said gently as he took the ball away from Jeanette and kicked it towards her.
Jeanette cleared her throat and said something to Neils in Greek. He smirked gently looking at his sister. "Katie, this is my sister, Jeanette. Jay, this is a new friend I made at the track the other day, Katie. You remember I told you about that." He said gently looking from one to the other. Jeanette held out her hand for a friendly shake. "Oh yeah, I remember now. It's nice to meet you, Katie." She said sweetly in a beautifully lilting Greek accent. Neils had told her about the run he had had with Katie the other day. |

Katie smiled and waved hi, nice to meet you to she said smiling. She set her water obttle down letting the ball roll over dribbling it between her feet, it felt good to just run around with it again running out onto the field kicking the ball towards Jeanette. She ran down the field towards them. It'd been a long day so far and it was good to get out and get running around.
Katie noticed how much her and her brother looked alike and though it....was a little odd when they spoke in greek. Not odd in a "your a wierdo way" just odd as in she couldnt understand them or what they said. She only grinned though " youll have to teach me greek so im not in the dark" she said laughing and watching them, as curious about everything as ever she guessed.

She nodded gently and accepted the ball dribbling it around for a moment. Then she jetted off towards the goal with Neils trailing behind her. She kicked it a good yard infront of her and then came up to it hitting it as hard as she could. She smirked when she watched it go into the goal. She looked at Neils and smirked gently.
Neils looked to Katie and the two of them both chuckled at her. "But then that would ruin all the fun." He said playfully as he looked back at Jeanette. "Don't worry. If we were saying bad things about you you would definately know it." Jeanette said sweetly as she retreived the ball and kicked it up and bounced it on her scarred leg that had the black brace on her knee. "We only speak of personal matters in Greek around company." Neils said gently looking to Jeanette who had kicked the ball to him and he did the same with the ball as she had before giving it a good kick to Katie. |

Katie could only laugh and shake her head on dont you worry ill find a pocket greek dictionary she said teasingly. She thought it was amazing actually, here she could barely master her own languge and there they were jabbering away in greek AND american. she was all but dumbfounded by it. She watched them play and knew they'd surely ake the team this year. The schools soccer team was ok right now but the last few years it'd been more of a training school than anything. REaly no new people and those new people that did join were in it to learn it not to play.
That bugged katie, as the thought that learning in sports was supposed to be outside of practice hours not during practice or you'd never get anywhere. But who knows they were pretty good. The school realy bragged about their football team...and of course their cheerleaders but that was noly like every other school in america. She liked watching soccer. She lifted the ball with her foot jumping to kick it with her other foot. Exicuted nicely but the ball just made it in the corner of the goal telling she was a bit rusty.

Neils chuckled gently and smiled at her. "Good luck with that." He said gently as he watched her handle the ball. She wasn't so bad, and the shot she just tried to take was pretty good. He looked back to Jeanette for a moment gauging her expression then back to Katie. "That was a nice try." Jeanette said sweetly.
Neils looked back to his sister before he went to get the ball. He smiled and kicked it up in the air and headbutted it towards Jeanette who bounced it off her chest to get it to her feet. "So, how good is the football team here?" He asked curiously looking at Katie. "By football he means soccer. That's one of the few things our English classes didn't teach us in Greece." Yes that is how they can speak English so well. It was required for European schools to teach English to all the students. |

katie watched them and the more she watched....the more se was impressed. She wathed them mess around with the ball and grinned before looking at him. At first she was about to go on about their wonderful football team and stuff, ya know, the usual..w.hat htey won, stuff like that. Then she knew what he was talking about. Well after his sister said something anyways.....
ohhhh...well our soccer teams medioker right now at best....the last few years its all been people that want to "learn" how to play not that know how to play...so it could use some work....but hey with you guys on it we're bound to improve quickly....And as for our "football" team....theyre good..weve won state champs last three years and this will hopefully be the fourth she said grinning and looking to his sister do you dance? were always looking for new people to try out for the dance team? |

Jeanette smiled at her and kicked the ball around a little more then finally stopped. "Well, from what I understand, American soccer is a little different from what we're used to, but I don't think it would be a problem for us." She said gently as she walked over to Neils and jumped up on his back giggling.
"Wow, champs three years running? Let's hope you don't go and screw that up Neils." She said teasingly as she looked at Katie and gave her a playful wink that he couldn't see.He grabbed under her legs and held her there piggy back style while one of her arms were wrapped around his neck and the other the soccer ball tucked up under it. "I figured I'd give American football a try. It'll give me something to do and keep me in shape while I wait for football season." He said gently looking up at Jeanette who had her head reasting on his shoulder now. Jeanette was starting to think he would never give up calling soccer football. She thinks it's easier since people naturally get American football and soccer football mixed up.
She looked to Katie surprised at her question. She had the body of a dancer though. She got it from the world of figure skating though, but she had been debating joining the dance team for a while. "Well, I guess you could call figure skating dancing, but I don't do it anymore." She said gently."Not that I could if I wanted to." She thought drearily. "I was thinking about joining the dance team though." |

Katie grinned and watched them. She'd never had any sibling but she could remember going to her parents manya time as a little kid asking for a sister or brother...a brother realy. She'd never minded not having a sister. She was one to love the limelight, but she'd always wanted an older brother to be there. And that was just what Jeanete had. She wouldnt, probably couldnt show it. there wasnt an emotion to. but janette didnt know how jelous katie was of her for that...of course not in a hate you jelous, just in a " i wish i had that' jelous.
She listened to Neils and couldnt help but laughing if you keep doing that your realy going to start confusing me......Soccer is....Your football........our football is....football? oh now ya got me confused she said laughing. Shed never realy thougt about it and it was quite complex actually ...so what was he talking about, american football or greek football?......so confusing. She turned her attention to jeanette and smiled you should. ill let you know when tryouts start, its usually before school she told her grinnig. It'd be cool to have her on the team she seemed realy nice and actually not preppy so she'd make a nice addition. |

She laughed softly at Katie's confusion. Neils tended to confuse a lot of people with that. She shook her head and looked at him and said something to him in Greek. "Katie, when he's talking about soccer he normally calls it football and when he's talking about football he calls it American football." She explained gently looking over at Katie with a gentle smile.
Neils chuckled gently at Katie's confusion then looked to Jeanette. He looked back to Katie and smiled. "You should tryout, Jay. I know for a fact that knee of yours hasn't slown down your dancing abilities." He said encouragingly looking over his shoulder at his sister. He knew that that subject was touchy especially when they were talking about figure skating, but he was well known for being bold and speaking his mind to her. |

katie grinned ohhh ok i gotcha now she said laughing she crossed ehr arms i am officially in the greek loop ive got the lingo down hahahahah she said laughing about it. They both quite amused her. Katie tended to remember people by something she saw about them or heard about them...a charicteristic like the fact that they were greek..... things like that helped remember them...She wasnt labeling anyone in a bad way or anything she was only helping herself remember them.
She looked to jeanette i could help you learn the routine too, ts been teh same the last two years for first years and i know it by heart....at least i should.......its my fourth year on dance and cheerleading and im hoping to make captain. she explained

Jeanette laughed at Katie sweetly. "Somewhat." She said sweetly looking at Katie. "There's still a few things you'll have to learn." She said teasingly before she laid her head back down on Neils' shoulder. Neils looked up at Jeanette then back to Katie.
"She'll definately be trying out." He said looking at Jeanette giving her that mischeviously boyish grin she knew all to well. "You are overly confident sometimes, big brother." She said poking him gently. "Only because I love you, baby sister." He said sweetly looking at her. She giggled and rolled her eyes before looking back to Katie. "If I need any help, I'll be sure to ask you, but I don't think I will." She said gently as she carefully climbed down off of Neils' back. |

She grinned a bit proud of herself actually. ill get there, im a quick learner she said laughing. She knew she needed to go soon if she was gonna meet her parents for lunch like she promised as she looked at the time on her cell phone and sighed rolling her eyes. before turning her attention back to the two of them.
well thats good...better than him being shy, confidence is a good thing she said nodding approvingly before chuckling and grinning besides if he plans on being on the " american football" team hes gotta have it they're all a little c.ocky she said laughing i gotta run guys, sorry i couldnt play socce.....football longer ive gotta meet my parents for lunch though she said waving as she headed back down the field. She was happy that Jeanette would try out they needed some new girls on the team this year. And katie had big plans for both her teams as her focus was all put into that this summer....well until Branden walked into her love life....

He chuckled gently. He was c.ocky on occassion but he wasn't overly c.ocky either. That's one good thing about him that Jeanette loved. That and his big brother qualaties that he always showed around her.
"It was nice meeting you!" Jeanette called to her before walking over to Neils. "Good to see you again Katie." He called to her as well before he looked at Jeanette and kicked the ball to her. He knew that Jeanette would want to finish the game before they to left to joing their mother for lunch. "You need to get a girlfriend, Neils." Jeanette said matter-of-factly. "And what makes you say that dear little sister?" He asked curiously. "So you don't try and flirt with every girl that comes around, and don't give me that mess that you'll never find a girl that could even match Marilana. " She said playfully as she kicked the ball to him and they just kind of kicked it back and forth for a while |
