Veer-loves-Juan - March 21, 2005 07:55 PM (GMT)
So... I wrote one myself :D
Its not finished yet but I wil post chapters here..
Sorry for the english faults, My english is not that good you know.
Hope you enjoy and feedback is very welcome.. :unsure:
Note: This fic is a bit drama and romance, it isnt just about love. So.. I just felt like saying that
Note 2: Everything in this story if fictional.
The Absolute Perfection
Chapter one - You don't know me
'' Don't you dare walking away, Veer!!''I ran off to my room and slammed the door behind me. *not again... not again..* I kept thinking, why are my mom and I always in a fight?
My mom was away very often, especially in the evening & night. I know she loves to go and party all night long but I just hate it. When she comes home she's drunk or stoned or something.
My friends think she's the coolest mom ever.. because she's so young I think.
She was 16 when she got me.
I'm 17 now.. she's 33 and, as I said before, she goes out almost every night.
This time we were having a fight about something really different....tennis....
She thinks it's a waste of time, that I practice so much. She doesn't understand how much I give about tennis. Its my life, my passion, my everything. When I'm not at home you can find me on the tennis courts (or at school but that's because I have to). At home I try to watch as much tennis as I can, I think you can learn very much of the professional matches.
'' Veer, you open that door right NOW! Or you will have a huge problem '' my mother screamed.
I stopped listening to that kind of threats a long, long time ago. Putting the last stuff in my prince tennis bag I opened the door.
Not looking at her, I passed her but she grabbed my arm and turned me around '' Oh no! You're definitely not going to that stupid court right now!''-I sighed deeply- ''Mom please, I don't feel like talking about this''.
'' Well I do'' she said dragging me back into my room. I sat down and just listened.
'' Veer... I never expected this! How could you do this not telling me!? You know how I think about this, I don't like this at all Veer!''
'' Mom..'' I started but she just wouldn't listen.
'' Darling '' (I hate it when she calls me like that) '' you know I want the best for you.. this just isn't the right thing to do.''
Ahh, a new tactic I thought.. acting like you're the best mom on earth..
'' Veer, you don't really think that they want you, do you? I mean.. you're not talented enough. By the way.. I won't even let you go if you get an invitation. This isn't what you want darling''
With that I exploded '' By heaven's sake!! You don't know what I want!! You really don't! You know why?? Because you don't know me, you never listen to me! You just won't respect me, for what I want to be. I want to be a tennis player!!''
My mom froze every time she heard that word but I didn't give a damn.
'' Yeah you hear it right! A tennis player !! You don't know anything about wether I'm talented or not! Because you never saw me play tennis, never... in the 8 years I play tennis you never came watching me or something!''
Again I grabbed my bag and walked away. This time my mom didn't stop me.
The tennis courts were about 15 minutes from my house if you go by bus. I didn't want to wait for the bus so I started running, still feeling the anger inside.
Why? why wouldn't she just let me do what I liked most, I mean.. I weren't complaining about her party-behaviour either.
I arrived at the courts much earlier then I expected. On my way to court 6 (My favorite one, because it's far away from the other courts. Some trees are around it so it looks real cosy) I saw Bea walking.
'' Hi Bea, please come with me so we can practice a bit '' she heard my shaky voice and understood it wasn't time for asking questions.
''Sure...'' she replied and walked with me, both not saying anything.
We arrived at the court and I grabbed my racket and some balls.
I gave the ball a hard hit and it felt like the whole sad feeling was falling off my shoulders.
This is why I love tennis, I thought....

so that was the first chapter :unsure:

Chapter 2 - Chance
After 2 hours of practicing I started to feel really tired so we quit.
''Do you want something to drink?'' Bea asked friendly.
I nodded so we walked toward a cafe called Sash. It was a little cosy cafe near the the courts, I love being there all the people are so nice and there's a beautiful view.
We sat down and immediately the bar keeper Dave came to us. I knew he had a crush on Bea , everybody could see that. He always treated her like a little princess. ''Hello beauty '' he said with a romantic voice. I couldn't help it, I started grinning because its always so funny how Dave tries to flirt with her.
Bea looked uncomfortable and ordered two wine. ''Pff.. I really don't like it when he does that'' she sighed '' I mean he's a nice guy but man.. I don't like him THAT way'' I grinned again and said '' I think it's quite cute, he's so crazy in love with you... - watch out! here comes the freak again'' I laughed.
'' Two wines..'' he said, putting the glasses on the table ''Thanks'' we said.
He kept staring at Bea like he expected more than just a ''thanks''.
''Umm.. you can leave now..'' I said a bit rudely, he stared at Bea for a few more seconds and then walked away.
''Veer...'' Bea started
''You want to know about why I'm sad, I will explain'' I finished.
So I started talking and telling her everything ''It al started with an advertisement in the newspaper. I was reading the newspaper when I suddenly saw it, the perfect thing for me! The Tennis Academy of Juan Carlos Ferrero (Equilite) was searching for new young players who want to go to there!'' I said enthusiastic with only the idea of it.
''Waaaahhhhhh!!!'' Bea screamed ''That's! That's! There's no word for that!!''
''Well.. there's one problem..'' I said staring at my glass of wine, realising how fast the sad feeling was filling my body and mind again.
''What?!'' Bea asked grabbing my arm of excitement and curiosity.
''My mom...'' I sighed '' You know how she is, she doesn't want me to 'waste' my future with things like going to a tennis academy. So I filled out the form and send it to the academy but just didn't tell her anything about it.''
''And...she found out?'' Bea asked unsure, like she didn't want to hear that it was true.
''Yep.. and she's angry.. really angry.. I hate it, she treats my like I'm a little child! I know what I want, she doesn't have to decide that for me! I mean.. she's never there for me, always partying and stuff and now.. I need her to support me just for one time in my life, if she let me do this I would be thankful forever! But nah.. of course she won't do anything good!'' I felt tears filling up my eyes.
Bea sat next to me and gave me a hug '' Hey girl.. its going to be okay, really!'' she said '' if you get an invitation to go the the academy, you should just go! I mean.. thats the chance of your life!''
''You're right'' I said wiping some tears away '' My mom won't stop me.. but first I have to wait.. I think thousand of young people have applied for a place there. So I think I've got chance of 0,001%''
''But the chance is there...'' Bea said smiling.
Arwelya - March 24, 2005 10:05 PM (GMT)
I love it, I just simply love it! It's so realistic to me, not that my mom is like that ;) You're doing a great job Veer! I'm waiting for the next chapters and the romances between you and....JC...? :lol: :P
ferrerofan_laurie - March 26, 2005 11:40 AM (GMT)

Chapter 3 - Phone Call
I walked home, my mind full of thoughts. I knew how right Bea was, this was my chance and I had to take it.
On the other hand I knew that my mom would never agree with me, she would probably never understand my passion for tennis.
She wouldn't ever ever let me go to Spain, to Juan Carlos' Academy.
Seriously, she rather would stop drinking than let me go (and believe me she never quits drinking).
So I had to go without her permission, and I just don't know if I could do that..
Well.. whatever I thought I'm sure it takes a few weeks, maybe even months until I will hear if I'm selected or not.. Probably I'm not... maybe mom is right.. I'm not thát good you know........
Stop thinking like that! Mom doesn't know anything about it.. man.. I'm paranoid..
I realised I was home so I took a deep breathe, preparing for a very long sermon from my mom.
I opened the door ''Mom....? '' I asked unsure. Entering the living room I found a small note saying:
I'm gone..will be back later this evening..
Caroline
''Ahh what a sweet note '' I said sarcastically, throwing my bag on the couch. I walked towards the refrigerator which was almost empty. I took a glass of water and sat down on the couch, next to my bag. Almost immediately I started worrying about the Academy again.
Pff.. I have to do something... This drives me crazy..
Suddenly the phone rang.
It's the Equelite Tennis Academy..!!!! was the first thing popping up in my mind.
Than I realised that It was way too early for that..
Disappointed and not enthusiastic anymore I answered the phone ''Veer...''
'' quién? '' Said a young male voice on the other side of the line.
'' Er... can you speak inglés por favor '' I said half English half Spanish.
'' Oh sorry.. er... I think I've got the wrong number..wait..''
I heard some noise on the other side.
'' Ah I see'' the spanish boy continued '' I dialed a 4 instead of a 5. Excuse me, so silly of me'' the boy grinned.
'' Haha, well that's okay, can happen everybody eh?''
'' Yeah, well sorry for disturbing you. Nice to meet you Veer. Bye.'' With that he hung up, before I could ask for his name.
I stood there, the phone still in my hands.
That was such a weird conversation, I wanted to know who this boy was.
Curiously, I started scanning through the last-called and last-received numbers in the phone.
Last Received:
Today at 19.36 PM
Number Unknown
''Bummer!''
I went to the kitchen and grabbed some old looking cheese, vegetables and and a slice of bread.
My meal looked a bit like a dirty sandwich.
Delicious...

Chapter 4 - Stress
'' There are so many applies!'' Juan Carlos sighed ''Even if Tommy and Fernando can come also we never will finish this in time''.
'' Relax, dude..'' Feliciano said leaning back in his chair '' It was obvious that this was going to happen. All those fangirls you've got, they all want you to train them''
'' I don't want to train them because they're fans!'' Juan Carlos said a bit angry.
'' I'm sure it's going to turn out very good mate..'' Feliciano said friendly.
Rafael Nadal appeared in the doorway, he looked a bit confused.
'' Whats up?'' Feliciano asked.
'' Did you call Tommy and Fernando?'' Juan Carlos asked.
'' Huh.. what? No... I didn't call them yet'' Rafael replied.
'' Why not? '' Juan Carlos asked a bit irritated.
'' Whats up, man?'' Feliciano repeated.
'' I.....I called a girl-'' Rafael said and before he could finish his sentence Feliciano said:
'' Oh no! A girl! A GIRL! Why Rafa? Why? You called a girl, what a shame!! Girls are the enemy! A girl.. tsss''
Both Juan Carlos and Feliciano burst out in laughter.
'' Oh you shut up!'' Rafael said angrily and he disappeared.
'' Whatever.. Let's run through the next applies '' Feliciano said throwing a pile of papers at Juan Carlos.
Silence fell as they both were reading the forms.
''Wow.......'' Feliciano said '' this one is really good'' he handed Juan Carlos a form and a picture of a tall, skinny, blonde girl.
Juan Carlos read her form '' Good? This one? She's been playing tennis for only 2 years! And, oh my god, look at her Personal Information: I Love Juan Carlos, I'm a fan of Juan Carlos, I adore Juan Carlos. Yak! No! Why should I pick her? ''
'' She's hot..'' Feli said rolling his eyes.
'' Feli, I try find some new tennis players.. I'm not having a Model Agency or something ''
''Hmm.. '' Feliciano replied '' Well I think you'll like this one ''
Juan Carlos expected another blonde barbie but when he saw the photo of a young, blue eyed girl with brown hair he asked for her form.
'' Let's see '' Juan Carlos said studying the form '' Veer..she plays tennis for 8 years now..hmm quite long, thats good. '' he read further '' This looks quite interesting.. the only thing is, she never had a tennis trainer.. hmm that can be a problem.''
'' Why don't you let her participate at the tournament you're organising for.. let's call them the 'doubt cases' I think you'll get a pretty clear impression about her there'' Feliciano offered.
'' Yeah '' Juan Carlos agreed ''I'll let her play some matches so I can see how her technique is and to see more of her tennis abilities ''
They continued reading other forms.
''Hey Rafa'' Feli said grinning '' Are you back from your naughty business? Like calling GIRLS... dude you're so fucking brave.. you just did it man. You took your cellphone.. and just phoned a girl! Ten points for you Rafy or should I call you The super-brave-girls- phoning-rafael''
'' You better shut up..'' Rafael said and he sat down next to Juan Carlos.
'' I phoned Tommy and Fernando '' Rafael continued.
'' And?'' Juan Carlos asked hopefully.
'' They're here in 10 minutes '' Rafael replied smiling.
While they were waiting for the other boys to arrive they drunk tea and ate cookies.
'' Having a tea party, girls?'' Fernando Verdasco said with raised eyebrows, walking into the room.
'' Oh those are delicious!'' Tommy said grabbing a hand full of chocolate cookies.
'' Slow it down, we've got lots of work to do'' Juan Carlos said serious.
'' Okay boss!'' Fernando said, and the rest of the boys started grinning.

Thanks for your comments!! ^_^ I'm very happy that you girls like it! :D
Here's another chapter - hope you like it
Chapter 5 - Equelite
''That was the last one'' Juan Carlos said putting the last form on a pile of papers.
'' Man.. I thought it would never stop'' Fernando said.
'' God...seriously Juan Carlos, you've got too much obsessed fans '' Feli complained.
'' Yeah..'' Rafael continued '' 80 % of all applies were from your fans ''.
'' That's not my fault!'' Juan Carlos said defending himself.
'' In fact, it is.'' Tommy said '' I don't know how but you seem to attract girls, don't ask me why''
'' Yeah really strange..'' Feli said '' I mean.. it's obvious why girls find me attractive but you.. Juanqui'' he laughed.
'' Aww don't be so mean to him '' Fernando said patting Juan Carlos '' I find you attractive, darling''
'' Yak! Go away '' Juan Carlos said wiping Fernando's hand off his shoulder.
They all burst out in laughter ''Hahaha'' Tommy laughed '' You're such a gay Fern!''
'' Actually....'' Rafael began seriously '' How do we know he's not gay?''
Everybody started to look at Fernando.
'' Oh CMON guys! Oh my god... I was making a joke okay! damn it, I'm the number one girls-lover on earth'' Fernando said angrily.
Laughter filled the room again '' Haha don't take it so serious, dude, of course you aren't gay'' Rafa laughed.
'' Well guys, It's quite late already, think it's time to leave '' Tommy said standing up from his chair.
'' Yeah, I'm really tired, I think I'm going to sleep'' Juan Carlos said with a huge yawn.
'' I'm leaving too, Juan Carlos let me hear when the tournament your organising takes place'' Rafael said and he left the room. Everybody followed and left.
----------
I woke up, god.. I had a weird dream. It was about the mysterious spanish boy who phoned me last evening.
Veer, stop acting so strange.. he just dialed a wrong number.. I kept thinking but I still was so curious.
I walked towards her mirror and looked at myself.. I was wearing a horrible XL t-shirt which looked really funny on me.
I put on some pants and walked downstairs, my mom was sitting at the table in the kitchen. It looked like she had a terrible hangover.
'' Hi..'' I tried to sound a bit friendly.
'' Hmm..'' my mom replied.
'' Had some fun last night?'' I asked.
'' Hmm..''
'' I think I'm going to Bea today ''
'' School...! '' She said strictly.
'' I'm free from school today''.
'' Hmm...''
'' I'm trying to have a conversation here!'' I said angrily.
'' I've got a bad headache...''
'' Oh yeah sorry...My fault for thinking it was nice to talk to each other '' and I walked away.
I waited for the bus and went to Bea.
'' Hey Veer! What a surprise'' Bea said opening the door.
We went to the kitchen when she took a good look at me she said '' Umm...Veer... don't want to be rude or something, but...umm.. what are you wearing?''
I realised I didn't chance clothes so I was still wearing my way too big t-shirt.
'' Hehe '' I said a bit ashamed '' Can..ehh I borrow something from you?''
'' Sure '' Bea said smiling.
''Wow!'' was my first reaction when she showed me her clothes '' You've got your own clothes-store here!''.
Bea grinned '' Yes.. I'm addicted to clothes and fashion ''.
She handed me a nice dark-red sleeve less shirt '' Try this one on''.
When I checked myself in the mirror I saw a whole new Veer, I usually wore clothes that just fit good and suddenly I looked....girly '' It's.....It's....'' I said not knowing what to say.
'' Wonderful!'' Bea said clapping her hands '' it looks great! You can keep this shirt...''
'' No..No! I don't...'' I began but couldn't finish my sentence.
'' You keep it! It's a gift.. By the way.. If you're at Equelite, you can't wear those boring shirts you used to wear ''.
I felt a bit insulted but thanked her for the shirt.
'' About Equelite!'' Bea said enthusiastic '' Let's check the website!''.
'' Weeh yeah!'' I said even more enthusiastic. We run towards the computer like little children.
''Damn.. It really looks good over there!'' Bea said excited '' Veer, maybe you're going to live there!''
'' Nah.. lets not be to excited..'' I said down-to-earth '' Nothing is for sure..''
Both our mouths hit the ground when we checked out the gallery called Juan Carlos Ferrero.
'' He's such a hottie!'' Bea said drooling.
'' He plays really good tennis...'' I said.
Bea looked at me with both eyebrows raised '' Excuse me? You're maybe going to hang around with this Spanish Glory and you talk about his tennis?''
I burst out in laughter ''Spanish Glory?'' but she didn't reply because she was already drooling at the next few photo's.
'' Oh my god, even his friends are hot!'' She said pointing at a picture of a bunch of boys.
'' Juan Carlos Ferrero, Rafael Nadal, Feliciano Lopez, Fernando Verdasco and Tommy Robredo having dinner at the Academy'' I read.
'' Are you blind or just stupid?'' Bea said '' Look at those guys, my god they're the top of sexyness''
'' Well.. I've got to admit... they're good looking'' I said.
'' Thats enough for me... it proofs that you're human..''
I grinned.

Chapter 6 - Invitation
'' and what about the invitations..?'' Juan Carlos asked.
'' They all have been send '' Tommy said.
'' The courts? are they ready?''
'' I hired some people who made the gravel ready for play'' Fernando said.
Juan Carlos checked the points on his paper '' Well.. I think everything is ready''.
'' Finally!'' Feliciano said '' it took some time but now we're ready to receive them''.
'' It's a pity that Rafael couldn't help to organize this tournament '' Fernando said.
'' Yeah..well.. he had to play in Mallorca it means much to him you know'' Juan Carlos replied.
The past few weeks the Spanish boys were busy organizing the tournament for the 'doubt-cases' who applied for a place at Equelite. Finally, after weeks of hard work everything was ready.
'' When does he come to the academy?'' Tommy asked.
'' I called him yesterday, he said he would come Thursday'' Feliciano answered.
'' Ah thats good '' Juan Carlos said '' the tournament is starting Saturday 10.00 AM so...''
'' I can't wait to see all the young talented people! '' Fernando said enthusiastic.
'' Yeah.. especially the young talented girrrrls...'' Feliciano said dreamy which caused Juan Carlos to give him a strict look.
'' So what are we going to do until the tournament?'' Tommy asked looking at the spanish boys.
'' We can practice a bit, for the other upcoming tournaments..?'' Fernando offered.
Everybody nodded '' Yes good idea'' Tommy said.
'' and we can organize the last things for the tournament '' Juan Carlos said.
Everybody looked at Juan Carlos.
'' Oh man! Juanqui! Calm down.. everything IS organized it's gonna be okay dude..'' Feliciano said.
''Hmm'' Juan Carlos mumbled '' Well okay lets hit some balls!''
------------------------------------
I walked towards home and already I was thinking about how horrible it would be at home. The last few weeks were a disaster! I had fights with my mom about everything.
I hated it so much.
I'd been to Bea a few times, that were the times that made my day.
She's got such a nice home.. her parents are so sweet! I wish I had parents like that..
I opened the door and walked to the living room.
My mom was sitting in a chair, we ignored each other because that seemed the best thing to avoid a fight. When I went to the kitchen for a glass of water I saw the mailman.
''Here's your mail young lady'' he said handing me the mail through the open window.
I looked at the mail, a magazine for my mother, some other stupid magazines, a letter for my mom, a letter for me...
A letter for me?
I saw an Equelite-stamp in the left corner
Oh my god...
My heart started beating very fast.
It's from Equelite!
My whole body started shaking
Calm Veer calm...
Suddenly my mom walked into the kitchen, I quickly shove the envelop under a pile of papers lying at the kitchen table.
''Give me the mail!'' She demanded.
''Which?'' I asked nervous ''These?'' I said pointing at the magazines in my hand.
'' Duh.. ofcourse'' she said grabbing the magazines '' I'm going to read them here..''
I just looked at her.
'' What are you staring at?'' she said unfriendly ''go away! leave me alone!''.
I walked away, still shaking.
Okay... Equelite's envelop is there, I'm here.. my mom's there.. there's a problem!
I went to my room and sat down on my bed waiting for my mom to leave.
For one time I wanted it more than ever for my mom to go out tonight.
Lying down on my bed I started thinking about the letter..
I fell asleep.
A couple of hours later I woke up
Equelite letter! Was the first thing popping up in my mind.
I sneaked downstairs and looked through the living room window
Yes! My mom was gone.
Please..please let it be still there. My mom can't have found it! Oh please..
I run towards the kitchen quickly running through the pile of papers...
Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper, magazine, envelop...
I sat down and slowly opened it, my hands shaking like mad.
My eyes were reading so fast that I felt dizzy, but I didn't care..
Invitation...Academy.... Saturday....Tennis abilities.. will decide if you're talented enough.. see you...
Again, I started reading it this time slower.
