Today was the day I would leave for Barca. I was nervous but also a little excited. I kept telling myself if I didn't like it I could always go back but I promised myself I would stay at least a month. During the test trial I play for Barca and train with them, basically be at Barca, but just for 3 months. Everyone at Barca already knew about me coming. Keira, Keira Walsh, actually texted me and said she was excited to see me, since we played together for England in the euros. Anyway I was definitely looking forward for the sunshine and food.
"Im gonna miss you so fucking much" exclaimed Ella pulling me into a big hug, not letting me go
"Im gonna miss you too!" I responded, hugging her back
After about a minute or so Ella let go, giving Alessia a chance to say goodbye to me. We were in the middle of the airport, paparazzi snapping pictures of us.
"I love you so much", whispered Alessia "Don't ever forget that"
"Alessia, your gonna make me cry", I laughed, feeling tears forming in my eyes
"I already am", said Ella from behind me, watching me and Alessia
"Come here", I said to Ella opening up my arms for Ella to join us in a group hug. Frankly, I didn't really care that everyone in the airport was watching us, that was the last thing I really cared about right now.
"I'm gonna miss my flight", I said, starting to pull away from the hug all three of us had been in "I love you guys"
I gave them one last hug each, flashed them a smile and then set off through the gate, waving to them.

The flight wasn't that long, only 2 and a half hours but the second the plane landed, I was thankful. I had been lucky enough to get first class seats since Marc took care of everything. I got off the plane with my travel backpack and walked through the airport, collected my suitcase and then walked again until I came through the gate and was greeted by a man with a sign with my name on it.
"Hello F/n, I'm your driver, Luis", he said, shaking my hand
"Nice to meet you Luis", I smiled politely and followed him since he had started walking.
He walked to a black van with a small Barca logo in the corner of the window.
"Where are we going?" I asked the driver, while he was taking my suitcase and putting it in the boot
"First I'll drive you to your hotel and you can drop you things off there, and then I'll drive you to the training ground so you can meet everyone. That sound good?"
"Sound great" I said politely getting in the van. Luis starting the van.
We drove for around 20 minutes before we arrived at the hotel.
Luis got my bags out of the boot and handed them to me.
"I'll be waiting here until you ready. Don't take longer then 1 hour or you'll be late for the meeting", said Luis
"Ok, thanks so much" I thanked before walking in the hotel and checking in.
I wasn't quite sure what the plan was with everything. I'm assuming I'll be staying in the hotel until I find my own place. Or I might crash at Lucy and Keira's for a while, since I'm close-ish with them.
The hotel was really nice. Modern, big and exotic looking. I received my key and went to the lift, my room was on the top floor.
I unlocked my room. It was amazing.
A massive king bed in the middle of the room, a big TV in front of the bed. The bathroom had a view of Barcelona. The sink, shower and bath made of marble. A family of four could happily stay in that hotel room.
I lifted my suitcase onto the bed and opened it up, revealing my poorly packed clothes and toiletries. I dug out a pair of baggy jeans and a nike hoodie.
The view from the hotel room was breathtaking. You could see the beach and the sky clearly.

I freshened up a bit. Applying mascara and lip balm.
I soon made my way back down to Luis, who was waiting patiently on his phone.
"¡Vamos!" exclaimed Luis, opening the car door for me
