Kylian's Pov

Alana won't be in Paris for a meantime and Neymar is on the intense undergoing therapy since his condition is getting better. Yesterday, i just suffered a loss at PSG's Ligue 1 match versus Marseille and my mood suddenly went down the drain. Most of the times, Alana will try to cheer me up during hard times like this and the field atmosphere will be so much better if Neymar was there with us. I looked to my cellphone to search for some entertainment and Leyna's comment on Alana's Instagram post makes me having the most random idea inside my head.

"Why are you calling me? I'm watching NBA with my friends right now."

"I'm bored, where are you?"

"It's not my problem if you're bored, duh. Please look around for another entertainment, i'm busy."

"I will keep bothering you, if you ignore me."

"You're so annoying."

It's really fun to tease Leyna ever since i met her. Even though she keeps complaining about my existence in her life, Leyna always soft-hearted when it comes to me. For the example, after our short phone call ended, she sent me her location that's not too far from their—Alana and Leyna's—neighborhood so i will drive down to get her when the game is over. I stopped at the McDonald's first to get her a Happy Meal because i remember Alana once told me Leyna is collecting the Happy Meal toys in her room.

"Lakers is winning! Woo-hoo!" Leyna jumps into my car seat excitedly. "I just won a bet, my friends thought Lakers will slippin' but guess what? They're just clowning themselves! Wait... is this a Happy Meal?"

"No, this is Krispy Kreme." I roll my eyes. "Of course it is, don't you have eyes?"

"Why would you bought me this? I'm not a kid." She was trying not to sounds childish in front of me, meanwhile her eyes keep glancing at the toys inside of the paper bag.

"If you don't want it–"

"Okay, i will eat it. I know you've spent your money on me so it will be a waste if i don't eat this." Leyna quickly grabbed the paper bag and do the unboxing quietly. I can see her little dance when she got one of the toys collection she hasn't owned yet. Lowkey cute, i must say.

"How's Alana? Is she okay?" Leyna asked. "This month must be a lot for her."

"I don't think she is, but we all know she won't show it in front of us. All my life, i never saw her crying over anything serious. We all know she's a crybaby over the smallest things like animal rescue videos, old marriage couple, or angst movies but never on her father's funeral or times like this."

"I'm glad she has you in her life. I hate to say this but you're the best cousin-slash-friends to her, she loves to talk about you."

"What about you?"

Leyna squint her eyes at me, "what?"

"What do you think of me?"

"You're an annoying human being who loves being nosy around us and leeching of my bestfriend by always coming to her house, even i thought you're a homeless at first." She's putting a big smile on her face and i have to admit, Leyna owns the prettiest smile. The way her eyes are slowly dissappear when she forms a laughter is just something else. Wait, why do i sounds like a simp? I take back my words.

"What if i turns out to be someone rich and famous? You will regret all the things you've said about me because i will outed you on the media and let my fans come at your Instagram." I throw a jokes at her. Or maybe, i want to see her possible reaction if she knew me as Kylian Mbappé.
