"Do you have the sheet done?" Xavi asks the pique girl who sat on the players bench as the team warmed up.
She nods and hands it to him, receiving a gentle affectionate face pat.

The girl fans herself with Xavi's clipboard.
Why is Florida so hot?
She honestly felt disgusting and she's only been sitting under shade, she can't even think about how the players feel right now, warming up on the pitch under the horrible heat of the sun.

After a little bit passed, Pablo came jogging over to her, practically throwing himself on the bench.
"It's so humid and hot" he pants.
The girl fans him with the clipboard before reaching down and grabbing her Gatorade that her dad told her to drink.
He taste a sip from him and slouches on the seat.

Isabel reaches over and moves his hair out of his face.
"Go inside and cool down a little, you only have 30 till the game starts" she says.
The boys nods, standing up and heading off to the tunnel.

The girl gets up and walks over to the rest of the group who were sitting stretching and some sprawled out on the pitch.
she stops in her spot before turning back around to grab water bottles
I'll refill them later

She walks back over to the boys and without saying anything she squeezes the bottle letting water splash all over the first person she saw.
"Thanks pequeña" Sergio mumbles wiping his face.
The girl smiles at him, before telling his to open his mouth as she squeezes more water, before moving on the the next person and doing the same, then the next and next.

"Can you get the back of my neck?" Eric asks turning around.
Isabel splashes a little water on his neck before he turned around for his drink.
"You're starting are you excited?" She asks him.
He nods "yeah, I don't think I'm staying in for all 90 though" he shrugs.
"It's too hot for that" she reminds him before giving him a gentle slap to the face before walking away to the locker rooms where Pablo laid on the floor with Alejandro and Pedri.

"Hi guys" the girl chirps walking in.
The 3 say hello back before inviting the girl over to their conversation on what they should do after the game. Win or no win, they wanted to do something before they left tomorrow afternoon.

"Let's just go to the beach" Pedri shrugs, Isabel nods in agreement.
"We should invite, Ansu,Torre and Eric too"

The 3 boys agree with her and talk for a bit before the girls soon has to get up to leave once more guys start coming inside to cool off a bit.
She wishes them good and walks back outside to where Xavi was standing on the sideline of the pitch looking like a father with his arms crossed as he looked around.

The girl walks up to him, handing him a water bottle she had snatched from the locker room.
He thanks her for the water.
"You're probably the reason non of the boys have passed out yet" he chuckles.

Needless to say, it gets hot in Spain but this felt honestly 10x worse. They weren't very used to the humidity surrounding them. At least during the summer months.

Isabel cheer once the make yet another goal against Inter Miami.
"I love this" she claps, leaning against the bench as she watches the amazing show infront of her.

"What a great start to the Preseason" she laughs turning her head to Eric and Pedri who sat next to her.

The trio shoot's up off their seats when Pablo score yet another goal for the team.

Her looks over smiling widely before shooting his girlfriend a wink then running off to celebrate.
"I wish we could drink here" Pedri comments.
Isabel nods in agreement.
"I can drink here" Eric points out.
The two younger friends turn to look at him.
"This is why we call you old Eric" Isabel mumbles.
Eric rolls his eyes
"I hope your contacts get stuck in your eyes the next time you roll your eyes at me" she says flat out.
Pedri emerges in a fit of giggles as he covers his face.
"That's not even funny" Pedri breathes out causing both Eric and Isabel to start laughing at the boy's contagion laugh.
The three start gasping for air not being able to control their laughter.
Isabel looks up and make direct eye contact with a teary out Pedri before the two smile at each other causing them to break out laughing again.
"Stop" Pedri cry's out, playfully pushing the girl, not realizing she was already barely on her seat, causing her to fall to her butt. Eric starts laughing again him and Pedri gripping into each other telling one another to shut up because they were getting looks for the other players.
Isabel meanwhile sits on the floor, her face in her hands and she try's and controls her breathing and trying to get over the slight embarrassment she felt from falling.

Isabel walks over to Pablo from her dad as he walks out of the locker room.
"You did great amor" she smiles, pulling him into a hug.
Pablo wraps his arms around her, placing a kiss to the corner of her lips before thanking her.
He had and uneasy feeling in his chest, he had seen the girl in a fit of laughter with Pedri and Eric and no matter how much he told himself if was probably nothing, he didn't feel like it was nothing.

"Estas bien?" Pablo gets pulled back from his thoughts. He tilts his head down to meet the girls eyes and he weakly smiles at her.
"Just tired" he whispers.
She nods and hooks her arms to his, "let's get going to the bus then so you can take a nap before we head to the beach"
Pablo nods and follows the blue eyed girl to the bus, which only sat a few of the players.
They sit at the back of the bus, next to Ansu who had wasted no time to fall asleep.
