mason's pov As i scrolled through instagram, i saw a post that was by 'lilah_parker'. I liked her post as it was located at the Bridge, but the photos seemed to be taken from near the dugout which made me really confused so I checked her profile and there were many photos of her. One being this:

It was definitely her.
lilah's pov I was shook. Mason Mount just commented and liked my post. All he commented was "why hello there". What's that supposed to mean!? The stands started to fill up as I put my phone in my bag. I turned my head to look at the bench and I saw Mason smiling at me! Did he know it was me? Surely not.. Well there is a big possibility he could have found out.
Minutes passed but no goals. Many chances were created which was good, but not as good as scoring. The referee blew the whistle. Chelsea won! You could see the Leeds players devastated on the ground and the Chelsea players from the bench ran onto the pitch. It was a sight I loved to see when we won any game, really. They all hugged each other as the crowd started to leave.
As I was planning to leave, I just remembered that Anna asked me to try and get a picture for her, so being the kind friend I am, I went to find Chilly.
"Chilly!" I called out, it managed to get his attention.
"My friend wants a picture of you but shes not here with me today, so d'you mind?" I finished.
"Sure, I don't mind at all really," he replied. It was a bit awkward, but i managed to get one of him.
"Thanks," I smiled after i put my phone away. He returned the smile and just walked away. That's what I call awkward.
I started to walk out the stadium when i felt someone tap my shoulder. I just ignored it as it was probably a misunderstanding, but that's when they spoke.
"Hey!" they said. As i turned around, I inhaled a very strong scent. It was very different to anyones really . But that's when I realised it was Mason.
"Oh erm.. hello?" that was all i could get out my mouth.
"I've seen you sat at that seat nearly every match so I just wanted to give you this as you seem like y'know.. a massive Chelsea fan?" he said as he handed me his shirt.
"Wait - for real?" I asked my hands still in my pockets.
"I mean yeah, why not?" he said with a confused look on his face. He handed me his shirt and I just smiled.
"Thanks!" I replied "erm, I'll get going now, but it was really nice meeting you!"
"Yeah, you too!" he said , putting his hands in his pockets.
I just walked away after i put his shirt in my bag. Wow. That was unexpected. I walked home as i realised it was a waste of time going on the train. I knew my phone would be full of messages by the time i got home. It was pretty dark outside as the game started at 7:30 so I had to be careful. Father always told me to stay with someone at times like these but I'm old enough, right?
When I got home, I dropped onto the sofa , getting my phone out to see my lock screen full of messages from Anna. A mixture of texts asking if I'm okay and if i was able to get a picture of Chilly. So, I just texted her back.

Well, that's done. I did what I said and got ready for bed. I took the sushi I made yesterday out of the fridge as I wasn't bothered to cook again. After I finished eating, I washed the dishes then headed into my room. I just remembered that Mason gave me his shirt while I was walking put of the stadium. Why would he want to give it to me? I asked myself. He could've handed it to anyone else but he chose to go up to me and give it! But like he said, I've sat in that one seat nearly every match.
It honestly doesn't make sense though. I took that thought out of my mind while I took a bath. I got dressed into my favourite shorts and hoodie that I use as my nightwear.

mason's pov After the match, I drove back home. The car ride was full of me and my crazy theories and questions always filling up in my head. But about that one girl. She was gorgeous I must say, and something just felt familiar? Like, it's like that relationship I have with Dec you know? But it also feels more than that? It's like I've known her for so long but it's just an awkward first impression. She seemed to like football a lot as most of her Instagram posts were located at the Bridge or at some other stadium. Her jacket was full of old patches of the Chelsea emblem too.
As I got out of the car, her name kept repeating in my head. How has nobody ever talked to her? I took out some leftovers I had from yesterday and ate that as I was too tired to cook. I planned to go down back to London and maybe go round central London. I needed a new frame for the family pictures we took on Christmas and get them printed.
I headed up to my room to get changed. After I did, I checked the time. 23:15. God I really need some sleep. And so I did.
