Perfect Disaster-Charles Leclerc

'Ready for the finalsss?" My best friend shakes me as she passes behind my chair

"I was until you spilled milk on me"

I state looking at my now dirty top. I ask her if she is coming to reinforce with me since the game is tonight at our house, she replies positively and goes to change so I steal one of her cookies and make water bottles for both of us

"polase?"

She yells something akin to a yes to me and comes running out of the bathroom, ready, washed and with our two duffle bags

"so we don't go home anymore"

she added a change of clothes and our uniforms, I take a breath and give her her bottle taking my bag

"wait, I'II make the beds and let's go, go to the car in the meantime"

she puts her hand on my chest and pushes me towards the door

"already done"

she sings at me and I laugh at that idea, she knows how much I care about order

"Oh God this circuit knocked me out"

breathe and take a drink of water from her bottle because she finished mine.

"Go ahead"

she admonishes me and I glare at her, glaring at her with my eyes

"do 10 more pushups"

she looks at me and starts to bend over her arms and on the tenth one she collapses on the floor

"sleep?"

laugh and answer the phone to my father who is also our coach

"are you in the gym?!"

He scolds us and starts his lecture about the fact that we have to be rested for tonight so healthy and protein lunch and bedtime for at least two hours and so we do or rather, I for an hour looked at the ceiling of my room thinking back to the laces they had made and to game 1, all the mistakes, all the movements they make during the game: I am concentrating without knowing it, but my brain shuts down and I collapse too.

I wake up Laura slowly with a kiss on my temple

"it's time to go to the gym"

we live 20 minutes drive or better 10, for us. We will already be late, I wake up properly and stretch all the muscles in my back stretching

" ready, I'lI do the bag"

she shakes her head and points to the water bottle on the bedside table

"I wanted to let you sleep until the last, I know you will never have slept two full hours"

I smile and grab my stuff and close the door behind us

"ready C?"

I ask Carlos about the presence on the other end of the phone

"20 minutes and we're at the gym, we want the best seats"

I smile "okay formula one drivers, make some noise though" I hear some voices laughing, I was on speakerphone

"ei" he gets serious and I, meanwhile, load my bag in the car "don't do stupid things"

I laugh and sit in the passenger seat "how could I? Stupidity you have it with you in the stands" I laugh but someone in the car with him is not of the same idea

"she with se a just luck to be insufferable"

smile and look at Laura who heard the comment from the speakerphone of the car, I recognize the voice
