The long awaited match...
England v. USA
Raven was conflicted.
She was Englands number one fan but the USA is her home. She might have loved England's team but she loved everything else about the US. The food especially. Raven is NOT a beans on toast kinda gyal. Nonetheless she prepared her mind for the game. She of course wants the boys to advance but to be honest she wouldn't be so upset if USA won...
She would never tell the team that though.

Raven has followed a routine since she's been in Qatar. She woke up, ate breakfast, showered got dressed and did her make up. She decided on an England jersey with white shorts and her same little white bag.
She texted Mason she was ready and headed out the door.
Raven made it to the stadium when the game was starting so she immediately sat down. Or at least she tried to, the girl was jumping out of her seat the entire game. Every time someone was about to score a goal it was blocked. Eventually she realized it was going to be a long game and took her seat in the section.

Although no one scored she was still proud of the boys. 'They could have lost' she thought to herself. After they got off the field Raven follows the security to tunnels and waits outside the locker room. Raven takes a few pictures as she waits and answers texts from her mom and Maya.

Raven looks up and sees Mason
"Hey, I have to talk to my family and do something for the team I'll be a minute and then we can leave" Mason gives an apologetic facial expression while searching your face for a response.
"Okay, I don't mind waiting dummy" she playfully rolls her eyes
"Great, ill be right back" Mason says as he's walking away "By the way you can wait in the locker room, I know it's hot out here"
Raven gives him a thumbs up and they part ways.

Raven walks into the locker room and sits on an empty bench. Her being too busy on the phone she didn't realize someone was in there with her.
She hears shuffling and looks up to see a bare back with tattoos. Oh does she know those tattoos so well. They belonged to Marcus.
Marcus turns around in a swift motion and the two make eye contact. Raven's eyes begin to trail but she instantly snaps out of it.
Raven jumps and covers her eyes " Oh my- I'm so sorry I did not know anyone was in here, It was hot and Mason said I could come in here while he-"
Marcus laughs "It's okay, I don't mind and you can uncover your eyes everyone has seen me without a shirt on"
Raven puts her hands down from her face and tries to look everywhere but Marcus's direction. "Good point".
Marcus continues getting dressed and she tries to break the silence once again."You did great out there today" Marcus nods "Could've been better but it's calm".
As Marcus is turned around Raven couldn't keep her eyes off the boy watching his every move studying each of his tattoos. What Raven didn't observe was the mirror in front of him.
"You know it's rude to stare"
Raven snaps out of her daze "excuse me" "I can see you through the mirror" Marcus turns to face her.
She was staring at him I mean who wouldn't but her pride wouldn't allow her to admit that. "I don't know what you are talking about"
"You're an awful liar Raven" Marcus pulls his shirt over his head.
Raven's thoughts were clouded, she was thinking of the way he looked without a shirt and now the way he says her name. She was stuck staring at the star boy.
Raven finally speaks up "You know I'm just going to wait outside" Raven wanted to do everything under the sun with the boy but she knows he has a fiancée and she had morals. Raven gets up, turns around and mantically picks up her bag.
As she was bent down a little she felt something close behind her, like really close...
"Are your shorts usually this short ?" Raven gasps, she immediately turns around.
Leaving them face to face.
"Marcus.." she says breathless
The two hear footsteps and Marcus immediately backs away.
"Hey Marcus" Raven's favorite yt boy says
"Hey" Marcus replied putting his stuff away
"Well, you ready to go?" Mason looks at Raven with an excited smile"
"Yup" the girl smiles, happy to get out of this situation
Marcus watches as Mason walks out the door with Raven following him. He found his eyes on Raven. Raven senses it and turns around. They lock eyes one last time before the girl disappears with Mason.
The two were questioning their morals.
If we were alone any longer what would have happen?
Would we have let it happen?
It's wrong.
Why not ?
