"shut up man" ian recanted.

jadon continued with his laughter but put his phone away.

"all seriousness tho, what you doing for your 17th, it's creepin up" queried ian.

four weeks ago, amarachi suffered a knee injury in a champions league match against barcelona feminines. she didn't need surgery but needed to wear a brace to make sure everything healed and repaired itself in the place.

now four weeks later she could walk, but professionals around her advised her not to do any complex or hard exercises that would stress her knee. so she was bored, very bored.
