I woke up to knocking on my door. "What!" I shouted. "Jesse said you need to get up because he knows how long you take to get ready and we have training at 8:30." Marcus said walking into my room. "Ok I'm getting up. Did he cook anything?" I asked. "Jesse can't cook to save his life." He said laughing. I checked to make sure I had clothes on before getting up. As soon as I got up Marcus tackled me. I fell to He bed. For 5:30 in the morning he had an awful lot of energy. "RASHY!" I shouted pissing myself laughing. We both started laughing and Marcus was hovering above me. Our faces were inches apart. "AHHHHHHH!" We heard Jesse scream. "Jesse are you alright?" I shouted back. Marcus got up and we ran downstairs. Jesse was smiling really noticeably. "I got it." He said. "Got what?" I asked. "The call." He replied. Marcus having him a bro hug. "Can someone enlighten me?" I asked them. "Basically because the World Cup is coming up Jesse has been called to play for England in the World Cup." Rashy said. "Omg, Jesse I'm so proud of you!" I said tearing up. I gave him a hug. He kissed the top of my head lightly. "Ok so I need a family member to come and I was thinking you li?" He said. I just nodded my head yes. Marcus phone begun to ring he walked over to take it. After a few minutes me and Jesse were eating in the kitchen when Marcus walked back in. "I got it to." He said. "RASHY. You're all grown up going to the World Cup. I'm proud of you aswell but what the fuck is up with Gareth ringing this early man?" I said giving him a hug. The two boys just laughed at my remark. I ran upstairs and threw my gear on. I put my hair into a high ponytail and put some concealer over my spots and then ran downstairs. It was already 7:30 I put my air forces on and out my boots in my bag. I walked to jesses fridge to get a bottle of water. "So is there any other girls that train with you?" I asked them. "Yea there's Lauren James but we call her LJ she's Reece's sister, Ella toone she's a bit older than you she's really good as well and then there's Jackie groen she kind of talks to Donny because there both Dutch so we don't really know her but she's really good." Marcus said. "Ok ok. Is there many in the premier league?" I asked him. "Well yea a lot of the arsenal team are girls because there unreal. They have Katie McCabe who's a left back, one of the best players to have on set pieces, shes Irish, theres vivane midema who's unstoppable, you have to be an unreal defender to make sure she doesn't score. Jill Rord but she's on loan so she's not here for much longer she's a winger and like a striker at the same time Yano and there's lots more but there just some of the top ones in my opinion." He said. I put my water into my bag and walked to the car where Jesse was. I got stuck in the back again. I was on Instagram when I saw my phone had gone a bit mad earlier with notifications.
K.mbappé followed you, Neymar Jr. followed you, man utd followed you, man city followed you, England followed you, the lionesses followed you and Brasila followed you.
"What the actual fuck!?" I said. "Huh. Is everything alright?" Jesse asked me worriedly. "Um yea but Kylian mbappé, Neymar jr, Man United, man city, England men's and women's followed me and Brazil football team followed me!" I stated. "Neymar jr follows you but won't follow me?" Jesse said offended. "Well I am part Brazilian you're not. So if I picked Brazil we'd be team mates." I replied smugly. After about 10 minutes we arrived. It was only 8:00 so we didn't have to start for another 30mins. When we arrived the security guard gave me a look like the one from man city. He looked very similar as well. "Derek?" I said. "Oh god not you again." He said. The two lads looked at me confused. "He worked in man city like yesterday and um we didn't exactly get along." I said. "Why are you here today." He asked me. "To play football." I replied. He was about to say something when he was cut off. "It's ok Derek I invited her today. Hiya Alicia I'm ole. Alright lads?" He said. The boys nodded. "Hiya ole" I said. He motioned me to come into the grounds. He brought me to his office. "Sit down I don't bite. But we wanted to see how you play. If I'm not mistaken you're first choice position would be a right back?" He said. "Ye I play as a right back mainly but if we needed to I can play as a left back left wing midfield right wing but I'm just not as strong in those positions. My second choice would usually by right wing." I said. "Ok so you're 17 nearly 18. Nationality is English right?" He questioned. "And Brazilian." I informed him. "Ah ok so as you know we have one game left in the premier league and then Europa League finally as well. And then it's World Cup and summer market so if we take interest you'll hopefully be playing with us by next season." He said. "Perfect!" I said smiling. "Well you better get going. The team are in the cafeteria they'll show you around." Ole said and with that I walked out. I found my way to the cafeteria. "Hey." I heard someone say. "Hi?" I said. "I'm Ella Jesse and rash were telling us about you and this I LJ." Ella said. "Hi I'm Alicia." I said. "It'll be nice to have another girl around here because usually we don't see Jackie so it's mainly just us two." Lauren said. "Well I might not be around trust often." I said. "Well just have to wait and see how today goes." Ella said. "Come on well show you where to put you're stuff." Lauren said. We walked through the cafeteria and Into the hall. "So here we have the girl dressing room but there's not too many people using it because the other girls don't train here. So sometimes the younger team might use it. You can put you're stuff in there. Ell what time is it?" Lauren said. "25 past. Shit we better get going." Ella said. I put my boots on and grabbed my drink. "Don't worry you won't need that they give drinks out there." Lauren said. I put it down and followed them out. We were right on time. "Ok everyone in. Today we have Alicia Rosario lingard joining us to see how she plays. Also I'm sure a few of you have gotten you're call up in the past few days but that isn't going to stop us from pushing to be better. I don't want you distracted for the last 2 games. If we win this game it puts us one point behind. And then we have the final and we want to show everyone what we can do. Alright" ole said. As we broke away I heard people talking about me in Portuguese. "aposto que ela não pode jogar (I bet she won't last. Again sorry if that's wrong I used google translate)" I saw the one and only Bruno Fernandes talking to Alex telles. Alex nodded his head. I jogged over to Lauren and Ella. "Question what do yous think about Bruno and Alex?" I asked. They looked at each other. "Bruno thinks he's Ronaldo and shit and Alex is the same. They think because they play with Ronaldo and Neymar there great when neither of them even follow Bruno and Alex."Ella said. "I'm sorry but even Neymar follows me" I said laughing. Training started and we were doing sprints and then a rondo. It was me, Ella, rashy, Jesse, Paul and mason in one group and I wa sin the middle. After running around for some time Jesse finally got the ball so I made sure he didn't pass it to anyone but I also made sure not to tackle him to hard just so that I won the ball. "Jesse you're in the middle!" I said as everyone including Jesse looked at me in shock. "How the fuck have you done that without hurting anyone?" Paul said. Everyone was looking at us. I shrugged my shoulders. "What happened?" Ole asked. I was about to speak when Paul by over me. "Basically Alicia was in the middle and Jesse got the ball and Alicia like sprinted as fast as dan James but I don't even think she was sprinting and before he could pass she stopped him from moving and got the ball. She looked like Ronaldo!" Did Paul exaggerate yes. Was it close enough to the story. Ole and everyone were in shock. I smirked at Bruno and Alex. They knew I knew then. After our rondo we played a match. My team was, davind de gea in goals, magistrates and axel as center backs, me on right back, Williams in left back, Jesse and Paul in midfield, rasford and Mason on the wing and then tony and Lauren up front. The other team started with the ball. I was marking Bruno because they were playing him on the left. With me and rash working on the right together we knew it would be good. As Bruno tried to play a through ball to Edison Cavani I made sure to use my physicality. I may be a woman or whatever but I knew how to hold people off I got that ball and ran with it. As I came closer to Bruno I megged him and sprinted faster than before as I cut into the middle about to pass to Lauren or Anthony I was fouled outside of the box. Free kick to us. Me and rash stood over it. "Show em what you got, li." Rash said. "Move the ball to make it look like you're gonna take it." I whispered back he moved it and the wall moved to the left a little more. Rash ran at it but kept running over it and I hit it to the right and it curled into the top corner. "OH MY GOD, WHY ARENT YOU A PRO ALEEADY!" I heard Lauren shout. "Thanks LJ." I said as we ran for tip off. The game had 1 minute left and it was 3-3. I looked at Jesse and rashford. They knew what to do. Paul has the ball in the middle and he played it to me I made a run and got the ball I kept running passing defenders. I saw rash and Jesse waiting. As 3 players were on me we had a lot more players free. I passed the ball to Rash on the left wing and he hit it first time into the box for Jesse. Jesse got on the end of it and tapped it in. That was the end of the game. They team had to get food so they were ready for recovery and strength and conditioning. I was walking with LJ and Ella when ole called me. "I'll meet yous in there." I told the girls as they nodded and I jogged over to ole. "Yeah?" I asked him. "I wanted to tell you what I thought about the training so far. So you're speed is amazing, not very many people can run at that speed for that long. You're ball control is amazing you never really lost the ball and you were always helping out the team. You're set pieces. The only other person I saw with set pieces that good in the prem is Katie McCabe but she is more experienced than you. I believe you could be a top top star in the future and I'm definitely intrested." He said before walking away. I stood there shocked. Did that just happen. I walk into the cafeteria to sit with LJ, Ella, Paul, Jesse, Rash and mason. I grabbed an apple. "What took you so long?" Jesse asked me. "Talking to ole." I said. "What did he say?" Paul asked me as they all got more intrigued. "Nothing really just said that I have super speed one of the best ball controls saying I also am one of the best people on set pieces and that he thinks only Katie McCabe is better by shes more experienced and that he sees me being a future star and wants to sign me." I said shrugging. "Um WHAT!?" They all shouted. "I don't want to make a big deal of it. This summer I'm focused on watching the World Cup and being there for Jesse I said smiling at him. "Oh li by the way has told me to tell you she's pickin you up after training because she wants you're help with something and she didn't tell you because you didn't answer her." Mason said. "Good thing I brought spare clothes." I said laughing. I went to the locker room and grabbed my phone.

She hung up and I got into my black nike pro leggings and a Cropped Nike T-shirt and someone's jumper that I found in my closet. I texted Jesse to say I was gone. I saw has pull up and I got into her car. I gave her a hug. "Did you shower because I'm not letting you come near me if you stink!" Has said. I rolled my eyes playfully at her. "No but I sprayed deodorant and perfume on and I trained like 30 minutes ago so I don't stink. Anyways what are we doing?" I asked her. "We're going on a drive to London because Jesse said you've never been and while we're down there because I know how much you love football we're watching Liverpool vs West ham." She said. I smiled. It wasn't even 12:00 yet so we had plenty of time. We drove down belting the words to location by Dave and so many other songs. I went on to instagram.
Ella toone followed you, Lauren James followed you, Cr7 followed you.
Wait what the actual fuck has just happened. I couldn't stop smiling. "Also isn't that Marcus's jumper?" Has pointed out.
So um the name on the book changed because I want there to be like 2 or 3 live interests and you decide who she picks. Also Katie McCabe to some people isn't the best on set pieces but I think she's one of the best I also think she's fairly under rated and I think in the debates of best position in the world girls should be involved because she is an unbelievable left back and Viviane midema is a really good striker and she should be talked about more but that is my opinion. I'm going to try update again today.
