"Why don't you come to my office later so we can go through the different internship options?"

"Sure. Is 4 ok?"

"Perfect. See you there".

You left your class ready to pick up some food on your little break before the last two lessons of the day. Finally, after two years in uni, it was time to look at potential internships. You knew that was what could really get you a job after uni, not just the good grades.

At 3.55, always punctual, you arrived at your professor's office. And when you got inside, you noticed all the pieces of paper on her desk.

"Hi. Sorry I'm early".

"It's ok, sit down, please. So, we've got a lot of options here for you. Let me tell you about them".

She went through all the possible internships and it was a bit overwhelming for you. You expected two or three...not fifteen.

"Roger really wants this one but I think you'd be a better candidate".

That caught your attention. Roger had been your nemesis during the whole time you were in uni. Always fighting to see who got the best grades and overall being way too competitive. So...the idea of taking the internship he wanted was appealing.

"It's for Barça. They need someone for their media team. You know, to script and help film the videos for social media".

"Why do you think I'm a good candidate? If you don't mind me asking. It's just that I'm not a football fan".

"I know, but you are the most creative. Your ideas for assignments have always been the most original and I think you'd fit right in. Football is secondary. They won't be expecting you to know about it. Just to create content the fans like".

There wasn't much time to think about it so you quickly thought about all the pros and cons for each option. And even if you weren't too proud to say it, the biggest pro ended up being pissing your enemy off.

"I'll take the Barça job".

Three weeks later, you were in the Barça offices, being told everything that was expected from you and it was a lot. Did they realise you were just an intern and still had to do a lot of things for uni?

"Some players are a bit more...complicated".

"You mean they are divas", nothing you didn't expect.

"I meant shy. Divas are great for this, actually. They love talking on camera. The shy ones...".

"Who's the one you struggle with the most?", you asked, now curious.

"Gavi. And we know him being in the videos will give us so many more views but he just doesn't want to do them. He gets too uncomfortable and we don't want to force him to do something he doesn't want to do".

Even if you weren't a big football fan, you knew Gavi. Who in Barcelona didn't? But it surprised you to find out he was shy. He didn't look it on the pitch.

"I can help with that", your statement was met with a raised eyebrow. "What?"

"If you get Gavi to be in more than one video, I'll give you a real contract. Not just an internship".
