Setting: Ash gets called up for OL where Ellie Carpenter also plays, she's 6 months older than Ellie and she just lands in Lyon.

The airplane finally lands in Lyon, France. The weather looks beautiful outside, but I'm kind of anxious to meet the players. I don't know anyone of the players personally besides Catarina Macario since we played together at Stanford University for 2 years.

 
We grew very close friends and we played together twice on the senior USWNT. She's a great person inside out and we have many things in common. Although she came to Lyon two months before I did, I kind of feel bad that she didn't know anyone. Thank god she's here so that I don't have to do much communication with all the people that I don't know.

I enter the OL stadium, accompanying one of the OL trainers who volunteered to show me the way.

 
The stadium is huge. WOW. It was beautiful. The trainer clears his throat and speaks in a thick English accent, "This is our main stadium, in the back, the players are chatting until your arrival so they can meet you". He gestures to the locker room area and sends a smile my way and leaves. I shudder at the thought of being the "Newbie" of the team.

But there's a first time for everything right?

 
I head up to where the trainer points and enter the locker room area.
There were two big areas with two closed doors and I automatically knew which area the players were in by the many voices that Came out of the second area.

 
"Hopefully she's hot and not cocky, cause most hot girls are usually super cocky cause they know they're hot if that even makes sense" I heard a voice say as I get closer to the area. Her voice sounded angelic, an Australian accent if I had to guess.
Hopefully, she's not talking about me whoever she is.

I take a deep breath then open the door, to my dislike, the door made a huge creaking sound which caused some 20 people to look my way. Just great.

"Ashhhhhhh" I heard Cat call me as I silently scanned the unfamiliar faces.

I look towards Cat and she comes running and we hug. I miss this girl too much. I then take a moment to look at all the players, shake hands with them and learn their names. One of them, in particular, caught my attention.

Blonde hair, striking beautiful blue eyes, a few inches shorter than me. "Ellie Carpenter", She says, a smile on her face, with some kind of accent.

It was her. The Aussie accent that I heard a few minutes ago. I shake her hand and I promise I felt the electricity run through my body. We stayed like that for a couple of seconds until Cat next to me clears her throat. I look into her beautiful eyes as she looks back at my hazel ones as I shift my attention back to Cat.

The rest of the day consists of me putting away my stuff in the apartment room assigned to me while thinking of a particular beautiful blonde.

I exit my apartment to see the captain, Wendie Renard, talking to Ellie. As soon as she sees me, she tells me that all the players are planning to watch a movie today to clear our minds before practice tomorrow, and a game against PSG next week. She adds that we should join them downstairs in the main room.

Together we three walk downstairs to the main room to find everyone waiting. Chairs are set up in front of a big screen. One front seat was left along with two other ones all the way in the back by themselves.

Wendie walks to the front next to the coach and sits as she leaves me and Ellie to sit in the two lonely unoccupied seats in the back.

Cat is on her phone as she looks up to see me and sends a wave my way, I wave back and then take a seat next to Ellie in the back. The movie we were watching looks like it's from the 1900s but the players seem very excited to watch it.
