The red carpet was your least favourite part about being an actress. You got so nervous that you just ended up saying a lot of stupid things while pretending you were not nervous at all. And that's why everyone wanted to talk to you. They got great headlines.

"So, you got a lot of new fans when the first season premiered. Are you expecting another big boost to your Instagram following with season 2?"

"It's not something I care about. I appreciate all my fans but I'm not counting the followers or something like that".

"But some your fans are very famous too", said another reporter. "We've seen a lot of football players have their eye on you".

You just laughed and rolled your eyes playfully. "Yeah, I guess".

"Anyone sliding into your DMs? Come on, we won't believe you if you say no".

"I guess there is one or two that have sent a hello or something", you giggled. "But some don't seem to get I'm a Madrid fan. I don't care about my rivals".

That message was directed to one player in particular. Gavi. You noticed he started to follow you a couple of months ago and he was liking all your photos. But recently, he sent you a DM too. Even though you didn't follow him back or liked any of his posts. You just left him on read.

"Can you name names?"
"I don't want to embarrass anyone, guys".

"And what about Madrid players? Can they DM you?"

You looked at one of the cameras and winked. "At least I won't leave them on read".

Your publicist took you away from the cameras. You were getting too playful and she knew you were going to mess up soon.

And also, you had lied. Of course, you liked seeing Madrid players following you but you didn't fancy any of them. Those who were single and close to your age just didn't do it for you. Sadly. Why did the cute player have to play for your rivals?

Pablogavi: you leave me on read but mention me in interviews? Is that how you flirt?

You stared at the new DM. The nerve this kid had.

Yourusername: are you stalking me now? And who says I'm talking about you?

Pablogavi: rival player left on read.

Yourusername: maybe it's someone else from your team. Or someone from Atlético.

Now it was his turn to leave you on read and that didn't sit right with you.

Yourusername: I see you're a sore loser off the pitch too.

Pablogavi: want me to give you tickets for the next Clásico so you can see who the real losers are?

Yourusername: no thank you. I don't want to be seen at your stadium. I've got a reputation.

Pablogavi: I'll dedicate my goal to you anyway.

That really was the moment to stop chatting with him. He was getting too cocky getting your attention. Also, him scoring at El Clásico? Sure it'll happen.

**

But it did. It did happen. Gavi scored and your frustration was double that of normal. Not only was it the final goal that confirmed Barça were beating Madrid again, but he actually dedicated it to you.

When you saw him running to the camera, you rolled your eyes. But then he pointed at it and said "te lo dije" (I told you so) with a little wink and you almost threw the remote to the tv.
