The Quiet One

Belgium game

16th June

today was match day it was Belgium vs England friendly. I woke up to hear both Keira and Lucy walking around the room. I slowly lifted my head to see lucy still in bed and Keira dressed standing at the end of her bed bruising her heart.

lucy looked towards me seeing I was just waking up "morning kid" she said to me, and I started to yawn and put my head back onto my pillow.

"We have 30 minutes to get ready so you might want to get sorted" Keira said and i sat up and grabbed my phone seeing it was still early and my brother had texted me.

i opened it and it said, "can you call me" and i pulled up his contact and called him. he answered straight away.

"what's the matter you ok" I said.

"Yeah, I'm fine dads been acting weird" he said.

"What do you mean" i asked.

"i don't know he's been talking to me noticing me asking about school you heard out" he asked.

"I did get a text from him last night about me getting called up but i haven't answered" I said.

"Oh ok" he said.

"Hey, you have my number and my house key you want to use it you can stay there" I said getting out of bed and getting dressed.

"ok" he said.

"Alright i got to go love you" i said.

"Love you too" and he hung up.

i signed and continued getting dressed putting on Nike trackies a grey England shirt and putting my hair up.

"Everything alright kid" Lucy asked who i noticed was already dressed.

"Yeh thanks" i said. i walked into the bathroom brushed my teeth and then walked downstairs to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. i saw that most people were already there and eating and i got my food and sat down and started to eat. i didn't make much conversation as normal since it was way too early for conversation.

after we had all finished, we got briefed by Sarina that we weren't going to set off for the stadium until later in the day since the match wasn't until 8 tonight. once we were dismissed, we all went back upstairs and i had a text from my dad again ' hey kid good luck on your game tonight'

i started to walk slowly and i felt an arm around my shoulder i look to my left and see Leah there "hey kid you ok" she asked.

"yeah" i said.

"Alright you need me I'm here for you" she said.

"Yeh thanks" i said and walked into my room. i sat down and started to play 8 ball pool. Keira walked into the room and said "hey you up for a pre-match walk you coming"

"Yeh sure" i said and got of my bed. i got my shoes on and grabbed my air pods and we walked out the room and to the entrance where a hand full of people were for the walk.

we were walking for about half an hour when i got a call from my dad. i stopped walking and waited for me to be behind people and i answered.

"What do you need" i said not wanting to be having this conversation.

"Hey kid just wanted to send my good luck" he said.

"You already did on that text" i said.

"i didn't think you got it" he said.

"Dad I can't have this i need to be focused on the game not you ok you have never done this before for my games why start now" i said.

"This is a big tournament it's a big moment" he said.
