Your Name: Farah Berbery
1st Person POV
"Why do we even have to be here again?" I asked my best friends Bukayo Saka and Lotte Norris.
"This is my international debut for the senior team Farah! I need my two best friends here!" Saka responded.
"I know, I know. But I think it would've been a better idea for me to stay home and watch the match on the tele." I suggested.
"What? Why'd you watch it on the tele when I'm getting you seats so close to the field?" Saka questioned with confusion.
"She's nervous for you obviously. Look at her." Lotte informed.
"Lotte's right." I confirmed.
"Why are you nervous for me?" Saka queried.
"Okay well don't take this the wrong way because I know you'll do great but it's very probable that you'll mess up even if you go on for five minutes. And I'm very nervous that said mess up will happen and I just really want you guys to win. But you'll be fine, I'm sure of it." I rambled.
Saka just shook his head and chuckled before giving Lotte and I hugs. He then left to the changing room to be with his teammates, while we made our way to our seats where Bukayo's family was seated.
Bukayo's father and I were sharing our concerns about him. Of course we believed in him, we were just very nervous for him at the same time.
"He's been training with the guys for a while. I'm sure he'll fit right in." Lotte soothed.
Within twenty minutes, the game started and was scoreless all throughout the first half. Lotte and I constantly discussed the starters, hoping that Bukayo would come on in the second half.
"Mount and Sterling had the first half." Bukayo's mother stated.
"Definitely. They played two perfect balls to Foden. I'm surprised he couldn't deliver like he usually does." Lotte agreed.
"Wait. Which one is Mason Mount?" I asked.
Upon that question being asked, I received confused looks from Lotte and Bukayo's family.
"You Farah, of all people don't know who Mason Mount is?" Bukayo's dad questioned.
"No of course not! I know who he is, but right now I'm kind of confusing him and Rice." I defended, earning a chuckle from the others.
Lotte, Bukayo, and I bonded over our love of football in primary school. We used to play all the time as kids before Lotte got more into running. Her love of football never ceased though. Bukayo and I played for our respective youth clubs, but football was not my goal in life. As much as I loved the sport, I mainly played it to help me get into a good university. What I really wanted was to become a journalist. Now, at 19, Lotte and I had gotten into university. Lotte for arts and I for writing. Bukayo was truly talented and went pro, even though he had the option to go to university with us. Nonetheless, we were by each other's sides no matter what.
