Don't Blame Me

Liz
She and I came up with this plan when we were about 16.
We just started getting interested in football well kind of we more of liked the atmosphere and just loved the good stress it gave us but the game was starting to get interesting too.
So, we came up with a plan. When we´ll be older we´ll go to football games and cheer for our team.
We lived up to this plan.
So here we are in the in front of the Stadium about to support a match between Germany and England.
Honestly, I don´t know shit about the rules and stuff like that. I more of am here for you know all the vibez and stuff. Is that crazy? I have no idea.
But the most important thing is that we´re supporting our team. If we´re lucky we´ll be able to get some interviews for our school paper later.
“here” “thanks Amy” I took the hair tie and put my brown hair up. I looked at the few people around us ready for this game and I got even more excited.
“Aww you´re smiling like that again” she laughed at me
“Like what?”
“Like you´re exactly where you´re supposed to be. Your happy place”
 “Obviously hello I'm here with you and we always wanted to do this”
“Did we tho I remember someone” she looked at me “who always hated football”
“oiii Stop it! You rat”
She showed me her tongue.
“anyway do you think there´s any good snacks here?” she looked around
“there better be or I´m suing” we hooked our arms and started wandering around looking for snacks.
 We picked out some candy and water and while waiting in line to buy them we talked some more.
 
“I actually can´t believe we´re really here”
“me neither omg”
“like when did that happen? It was our plan of course but still”
“I know it feels unreal doesn´t it?”
“it does oh Liz do you think they have jerseys here? We need some”
“ we have some on? Oh you mean with names and stuff” I get it right now we´re wearing plain ones. No number, no names on it. “Well I guess we need to see of whom we even wanna get a jerseys from don´t we? Oh lemme pay” I handed the cashier some cash and we started walking to the entrance for the seats.
“aren´t we early or is everyone inside already?” I just noticed the lack of people.
“Well there´s gonna be a few more but everyone is still careful after all the years we´ve been throught”
Makes sense.
“Oh you go ahead I need a wee” I waved her to go on
“Pls as if I’ll let you go alone” she shook her head
 True hahaha
Problem: we had no idea where the toilets were so we were just wandering around
“Ok Liz this doesn’t look right at all”
“Alright if they’re not behind the next corner we’ll go back promise"
“Ok”
I continued walking not noticing she went down to tie her shoelaces and when walking around the corner I bumped into someone
“fuck" I fell forwards but luckily I was able to catch myself with my left arm last minute.
“omg are you ok I’m so sorry”  I turned around to look at who was talking. It was a boy.
“ye I’m good I guess ahhh" I wasn’t able to grip the hand he held out to help me up.
“So you’re not ok?” He commented
“Liz Show me that hand right now" Amy took my hand and started to examine it.
“Studying medicine" I explained to the boy still standing there looking sorry for what happened.
“you’ll be fine it may hurt for a bit but you should be fine tomorrow.”
“Ty bestie"
“I’m so so sorry” the boy stated.
“nah don’t be I didn’t look where I was going. Oh by the way I’m Liz this is Amy" I pointed at her smiling.
“kai nice to meet you"
“Do you have any idea where the toilets are?” Amy asked him
“wow you are in the completely wrong direction you’re actually in a restricted area how did you get here?”
“her fault” Amy looked at me.
“ Oh so the red sign really meant not to go here whoop” I shrug my shoulders
“ She’ll kill me one Day I swear.” Amy wiped away an imaginary tear.
“shut it” I slapped her playfully. “ sorry to bother you with all this I guess we’ll leave the toilet and just go to our seats”
“Where are you sitting? Maybe I’ll see you later”
“uhm we should be in 101 something” I said
“ As far as I know you’ll be alone there....Great see you later I actually am late too bye bye “ He waved jogging away.
“well well well he was cute”
“stop it” I rolled my eyes
“Kiz Is your ship name“
“AMY”
But we laughed the whole way to our seats.
“Ok there we are wow looks like Kai was right there really aren’t people around”
“how did he know? Weird wait hold on a few rows after us there’re a few people”
“Still sad that not many people can be here”
“Ik right rude on our first game here and not the real atmosphere but we’ll make this work” I held out my pinky for her to take and she did.
“Damn I love it oh look players are walking out!!”
“Stop screaming Amy that’s normal”
“Don’t act like you know what’s happening out there”
“shush”
But we laughed.
That’s how it is with us.
Always something to laugh but we can be dead serious too.
 
“Ok so these are the German players right?”
“hon I have no clue” I laughed but took my phone out of my pocket “ lemme Google real quick  the names sound German don’t they? Ok yes that’s Germany look its Neuer”
“Always loved him"
“literally so far the only person I know” we laughed at that “Ok look it’s your mum she wishes us a nice day”
“Why didn’t she text me... rude"
“I’m her favorite child “ I typed a message back to Amy’s Mum and carried on checking messages and just texted some people.
 
“England is coming out too and - OH MY LIZ"
“hmm?”
But she didn’t answer.
“Ok what” I looked up from my phone to my left where she was sitting but she starred down on the field so I looked too.
“Holy fucking shit is that?”
He blew us a kiss with his fingers and walked to get warm.
Amy and I looked at each other with wide eyes.
“WHAT THE FUCK” We squeaked.
“So you wanna tell me handsome boy I ran into is a player?”
“You always have the best of luck GO GET HIM ”
“I don’t even know him”
“This is crazy"
 
She’s damn right.
How did that Happen?
 
Amy took her phone and started typing while talking
“Ok let’s get our minds off of handsome boy aka Kai Havertz 25 Years old and single”
“Stop googeling him I don’t want to know, well actually it’s not like I’ll ever Meet him again so why not right?     no It still doesn’t feel right let’s just enjoy the game like the reason we came here in the first place”
“Suit yourself”
“STOP GOOGELING FOR GODS SAKE”  I screamed
Seems like I was loud enough now what seems like the whole stadium was staring at us including the players on the field.
I looked for kai and mouthed sorry and he nodded.
Ok now I will definitely never see him again.
He must think I’m nuts.
 
“Ok ok we’ll stop with the Kai talk and enjoy Ok?”
“Thanks Amy” Thank god a weight lifted from me.
Weird.
I don’t know him but I want to.
I should stop this I’m here for football and only football.
Now that I know Kai is a Player I don’t want interviews anymore how am I supposed to look into his eyes after I screamed that loud? Shit thing we already told the important people we’re reporters.
 
“look its starting ahhhhhh"
 
I snapped out of my thoughts and focused on the game.
Ok and I focused on the fact that Kai was in the game.
 
“We should´ve done more research I feel stupid” Amy hissed.
“But learning by watching seems like way more fun besides then we´d be like these crazy fans. Hell no.”
“true”
