Zeke Meeks vs the Stinky Soccer Team - D.L. Green
My mom drove me to my first soccer team meeting. As she drove, she talked. And talked. And talked.
I didn’t listen. Instead, I gazed out the car window and imagined my first soccer game. I’d wear a very cool red or black jersey. I’d score at least five goals. My teammates would shout, Go, Zeke! Go, Zeke! Go, Zeke!
We’d win the game. We’d win all of our games. Then we’d get huge gold trophies.
Mom stopped at a red light. She asked, Were you listening to me, Zeke? Did you hear one single word I just said?
I nodded. I heard every single word you just said. You said, ‘Were you listening to me, Zeke? Did you hear one single word I just said?’
Mom drove into the parking lot of the soccer field. I nodded again. Yes, I heard what you said before.
My ears had heard everything she’d said, but my brain hadn’t paid attention. My brain was filled with a ton of my own thoughts. It had no room for my mother’s thoughts.
As my mom looked for a parking spot, I looked for my friends from school. Hector Cruz, Owen Leach, and Rudy Morse had all said they had a soccer team meeting today. It was going to be fun to play on a team with them. Where were they?

Mom said.
Of course it’s important. It’s very important. Winning is the most important thing,
I explained to my mother.
She shook her head. Exercise is more important. Soccer will make your body stronger.
I rolled my eyes. Exercise, shmexercise. Stronger, shmonger.
It’s also important to learn teamwork,
Mom said.
Teamwork, shmeamwork. Winning is what really counts,
I said. My mother was smart about some things but not about soccer. She didn’t understand soccer at all.
I got out of the car and looked for my friends. I still didn’t see anyone I knew.
Something flew in front of me. It was not a friend. It was an enemy. It was terrifying. It was a flea!
My mouth dropped open. I hoped the flea wouldn’t fly into it. I wanted to close my mouth, but I was frozen with fear.
Mom got out of the car. She pointed to the horrifying
