Lionesses- Harry Hampton

I've missed you

It was Easter break and Hannah had an England camp. Harry was obviously going with her and the two of them loaded everything into the car. He was glad of the break from school. Obviously he loved seeing his friends but he was finding it harder and harder to behave and this often caused arguments at home.

They said goodbye to Grandad and then they were off.

Hannah's Spotify playlist was on and the two of them were singing away. All the energy they were using had warmed them up.

"It's hot," Harry said, leaning back during an interval between songs.

"Take your jumper off then," Hannah told him. Harry froze. He couldn't take his jumper off. He'd had a rough night last night and he just couldn't help but hurt himself.

"Nah I'm not that warm," Harry lied. Hannah hadn't noticed his little freezing up moment and he was relieved. The last thing he wanted was for her to know. She would only worry about him and he didn't need that.

They arrived at St George's Park and unloaded the car. Everyone else had arrived at pretty much the same time. Harry could see Georgia was parked a few rows over and he ran to say hello.

"Boo," he said as he came up behind her. She spun round and pulled him into a hug.

"I've missed you," she said.

"I've missed you too," he said back. The two of them jumped straight into chatting as they walked back to Hannah's car. They were both giggling as they approached and Hannah couldn't help but smile.

Harry grabbed his suitcase and then the three of them walked up to the main building. It was raining and he was teasing the two girls for being worried that their hair was going to get wet.

At dinner that night, Harry sat with Hannah, Keira, Lucy, Leah and Beth. They were good company and chatting with them made him forget everything from the night before.

"Harry's finally been convinced to play football for the school," Hannah said.

"About time!" Lucy laughed.

"Where are you playing?" Beth asked.

"I played right wing but then I was a bit too aggressive and I got sent off so I was moved to centre back," Harry answered.

"Reminds me of someone," Keira said, looking at Leah.

"Nothing wrong with being aggressive," Leah replied matter-of-factly.

They all finished up their dinner and Harry went to get himself some pudding. The girls rarely had anything unhealthy on camp but one of the people who worked in the kitchens was always happy to sort him out with some ice cream.

The team had gone to chill out and not wanting to make them jealous, Harry stayed in the dining area. He was busy tucking in when Sarina came in.

"Hello," she said, her Dutch accent strong as ever.

"Hello," Harry replied. He barely ever spoke to her. She was the big boss. The top dog.

She usually ate and hung around with the staff so Harry was taken aback when she sat on his table.

"How are you?" she asked, opening a folder of what Harry presumed were tactics.

"Good. How about you?" he answered.

"I'm good. How's school?" Sarina carried on. She didn't seem to notice Harry's awkwardness and if she did she certainly ignored it.

"Yeah it's alright."

"Not your favourite place to be?" she asked, looking up from what was in front of her. Harry shook his head.

"Where is your favourite place?" asked Sarina, looking back down. Harry thought about it. Where was his favourite place?
