"F/n", wheezed Ella, laughing uncontrollably with Alessia. It was a rainy Thursday afternoon and we were training for the game we had coming up against Arsenal.
"Thats jokes", added Alessia, now on the floor, still wheezing
"I was such a weird child", I said "I don't know why I even thought of that", tears now coming out my eyes from the out burst of laughter all three of us just burst into
Earlier today I was going through some of my old primary school stuff and I found a box filled with cards I gave my family members and I found a letter I wrote for my grandpa when I was 6. It said in big green letters 'I'm glad you're not dead'.
"Girls focus", shouted our trainer,John, playfully
"Sorry," said Ella, controlling her self from another burst of laughter
All three of us were friends for 4 years, we met at an England Football camp. We had been inseparable ever since. I was 4 years younger than Ella and 5 years younger than Alessia. I was always the 'baby' of the trio.
"Ok", I breathed out "Let's continue",
We continued our game of two touch until John switched up the exercise. Now we had to, in pairs of 2, pass the ball without it going off of the ground. Ella and Alessia were in a pair this time, since we always rotated when we had to do pair activities so it was fair. I paired up with Nikita. Nikita always had a smile on her face and I knew her before I came to United since we went to the same Pre-school.
We started passing the ball and doing other training exercises John wanted us to do, until it was time for Lunch.

"Shit", I mumbled, engulfing my Tuna-Mayo sandwich "This is incredible"
"You say that every time", said Ella, taking a bite out of her ham and cheese sandwich
"Cause it's true!" I mumbled, food stuffed in my mouth
"I'm still drenched", huffed Alessia
"Me too," said Ella "I wish I was in Greece or Spain, somewhere where it didn't rain everyday,"
"I would do anything to be in a sauna or a spa right now," I said, imagining myself lying on a beach lounger with a Pina Coloda in my hand with Alessia and Ella next to me
"Stop", whined Alessia "You're making me sad that I can't do that"
"Lessi's right, we need to focus on the good things", said Ella, taking a drink of her Lucazade
"And that would be..." I said, still munching on my delicious sandwich
"That would be the fact that you are being nominated for FIFA women of the year, at only the ripe age of 19!" said Alessia excitedly "Your practically still a Fetus!"
Alessia comment caused Ella and I to laugh
"Yeah well, just because I'm nominated definitely doesn't mean I'll win it", I said "I mean some of the best players ever are nominated for it, like Alexis Putella and Lucy and Beth, and I know Beth and Lucy and they are both amazing players",
"So are you" interrupted Ella "Age isn't really a big factor, I mean if you look at Jude Bellingham, he's only 19, like you and he's captain of Dortmund"
"I mean I guess your right"
"I know", said Ella smugly with a wink
"And you also can't forget the fact you scored the winning goal in the euros", added Alessia
"That was one goal", I said
"And all the others you scored this season" said Ella under her breath
"It doesn't even matter if you win the award or not, you should be honoured you got nominated for it"
"I am honoured, I guess I'm just still in shock"
"That's fine but knowing you and how you are, fantastic by the way, you will win it", cheered Alessia enthusiastically
I loved Ella and Alessia with my whole hearts and they're the only family I really have left, apart from my Aunt, who lives in Munich. My parents and little brother died in a car crash when I was 15, the same year I met Alessia and Ella. They've been there for me through everything, the highs and the lows. I'm extremely grateful for them.
"We better hurry up", said Ella, cutting open up Kiwi "We only have 10 minutes until we have to continue training"
"Yes sir", I said, pretending to salut her, earning myself a glare from her.

"F/n!" shouted John to me, gesturing for me to come over to him, making me stop my keepy ups and run over to him
"How can I help?" I questioned
"Marc wants to talk to you later about something", he said looking at me
"Am I in trouble?" I said, confused about what the manger would want to talk to me about
"No, don't worry, nothing like that", reassured John
"Ok," I laughed "What time?"
"Quarter to four"
"Ok, I'll be there", I smiled and then ran back to where I previously was.
As I got there I was met by Alessia's and Ella's curious faces
"What did he want?" asked Alessia
"I don't know but he said that Marc wants to talk to me at quarter to four", I shrugged
"Weird", said Ella "Maybe he wants to kill you and then sell your body parts for money"
"What the fuck," I said "why would you even say that", I questioned, puzzled by my friends remark
"Funny innit", said Ella before running away and jumping on another one of our teammates backs
I looked at Alessia to see her just as confused as me by our strange friend, who we loved so dearly.
