THIRD PERSON'S POV

Beth and Daniëlle were the ones that had some real issues, that they needed to solve if they still wanted to win the league. They were always trying to determine who was better, not just in football but in life, too. It was hard having them around all the time, as the others could feel the deep tension between them, which was also affecting the team.

While Beth and Daniëlle couldn't get over their competitiveness, Ingrid and Mapi had found each other easily: they had been together for just a few months, but they were really cute. They had met at school, then started dating. What no one knew was that they weren't actually as cute as it seemed. They loved each other's attention and presence, but there wasn't a lot of communication between them. They were more friends with benefits than Leah and Jordan, but they were also able to keep their problems to themselves.

DANIËLLE'S POV

I wake up because of someone knocking on my door, disturbing my peace.

«Who is it?»
«It's Leah. Come out, please!»

I groan, but end up doing as the captain orders me. With only a pair of sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt, I walk out of my room to find all the girls in the living room, drinking a cup of tea or discussing the day's itinerary.

«Goedemorgen» I smile, still half-asleep. (English: Good morning.)
«Morning» Beth unexpectedly smiles back at me. «There's some coffee in the kitchen.»

Her sudden change of attitude around me makes me want to puke, but also makes me curious about what has changed between us. Until last night we would argue over the simplest things, and she would usually look at me with murderous smiles, but now she has just smiled at me, and not ironically.

Before I head into the next room to grab myself a cup, my eyes set on Caitlin and Lia, who are holding each other's hand and staring at each other a little bit differently.

«What is going on here? Since when do you do this?» I ask, confused.
«Someone had trouble sleeping last night» Beth chuckles.

As I'm trying to comprehend what's happening before my own eyes, Jordan walks in and kisses Leah on the lips, before sitting down on the couch.

«Wat de fuck!?» I exclaim, in Dutch. (English: What the fuck!?)
«That's new for me too» Beth is speechless.
«So I go to sleep and suddenly everyone is with everyone!? How!?»
«Seems like you and I are the only single ladies here» Beth smirks at me, leaving me shocked.

Why is she suddenly so friendly? And why is she looking at me like that?, I ask myself.

«Wait, where's Mapi and Ing? Are they still sleeping?»
«Yeah. I went to wake them up but they seemed pretty tired, so I let them sleep in» Leah explains.

I grab myself a cup of coffee, and as we are all gossiping and talking about the future, we have no idea that Ingrid and Mapi are well awake, in the midst of one of the worst crisis their relationship has ever faced.
