Unexpected love -Marcus Rashford

Two

(Céline's POV)

(two weeks skip)

Today is a freaking day. I'm moving to Manchester. It's so unbelievable and It feels like it's a dream.

Yesterday I started packing all my stuff since I have to get everything with me. I have a lot of boxes filled up with all my items of furniture, and later in the month, my things like the couch, chairs, tables, beds, etc. are coming. I have three big suitcases with me with all my clothes, shoes and of course all my workout stuff. I booked a private plane, so I could have all my stuff with me, and so I didn't have to consider others. The flight took about an hour and 15 minutes so it was not bad at all, and because Manchester is an hour behind then it technically took me 15 minutes.

I got to my new house, pretty exciting. it was as beautiful as I remembered it. The house has a pretty driveway with a fountain in the middle, then there are two huge black doors, the house has two floors and a basement with a gym and laundry room. The backyard has a pool and a big area with grass, and then a pretty space to have patio furniture. I can already imagine myself having friends over in the summer and just spending the evening in the backyard.

After I loaded all my suitcases and boxes into the house, I had to go get the car I had ordered so I could get around in the city. I just ordered a big, casual BWM, I really don't care about cars and I don't know anything about them, but my family has always had a BMW. That's why I got one of those too.

I saw I got tagged in a story on manchester united's Instagram

they are totally right, tomorrow is my big day and I am so excited about it.

I got a direct message on Instagram, but I didn't know who it was. I checked it and it was a guy who sent me the story manchester united tagged me in and he said "why didn't you tell us you were going to play for United?" I was still confused. Who was this guy?

I woke up at 8.00 and I just couldn't sleep anymore. I'm too excited for my first practice with the team and just to meet all of them. I ate oatmeal for breakfast with apples and cinnamon on and sat and ate it while I was watching the news. Nothing special was going on. I just felt like I was an adult who needed to watch the news because I kinda have to know what's going on in the world.

The sun was shining and I was struggling about whether I should wear an undershirt or not but I decided to do it. so I wore a black undershirt with the black united practice dri-fit T-shirt and the matching black practice shorts. I put my hair in a ponytail and took some long Nike socks on and then I wore my pink football boots.

I went to the car and I had a protein shake with me to drink while I was driving. I live about 20 minutes from the Carrington training ground, so it was not far at all.

I got to the parking lot and I was so nervous, and couldn't get myself to walk out of the car, what if people didn't like me and what if I just don't fit in at all. I need to stop all these thoughts, I felt a little safe that I knew some of the boys, not because I have really talked with them before but you know I could recognize them if I saw them and especially Marcus who texted me yesterday, I'm actually happy about he texted me I just feel more welcomed now.

I walked into the field. There were a big group of mixed girls and boys in the middle of the field and I walked up to all of them. While I was walking I was thinking about if I should introduce myself to them when I got to them. I was about 15 meters from the big group and then I heard someone yell at me

Mctominay- "hey you're the one from the hotel in manchester"

me- "I guess I am," I said while laughing a little bit

Marcus- "oh hey Céline, are you excited for your first practice with Manchester united?"

me- "I'm definitely excited I hope I'm good enough to play with y'all"

Marcus- "don't be scared about that you're totally good enough, I mean Lille is a good club too"

I just smiled back at him, because the coach was coming up to us, and I didn't wanna be the one to interrupt him. He started talking about what we were going to focus on at today's practice and then I said

the coach- "Today we have a new player, Céline. Do you wanna come up and introduce yourself to the rest of the group?"

me- "sure, so as he said I'm Céline, I grew up in Lucca, Italy, and signed my first contract with Lille in 2019, and yea now I'm here at united, which is really exciting. I hope we all are gonna have fun, and I'll get to know y'all a lot more"

the coach- "well Céline, we're all excited to have you here, but let's start to practice"
