see you again (a jude bellingham story)

chapter 1: the best day ever

"..... you live in the dream state, 

relocate my fantasy,

 I stay in reality,

 you live in my dream state........."

the 2022 women's euros finals:      Germany VS England:

I could feel the pressure all around me. We were in the finals and nobody could stop us. we were bringing it home. I could just feel it.  " Watcha thinking about, chi?" leah asked me. " I don't even know, I have mixed emotions," I said. " WE'RE BRINGING IT HOME!!!" Bukayo screamed in my ear. "YESS I KNOW THAT," I screamed back. Bukayo was my best friend. he was my right-hand man, he was always the first person I told all my tea to. " Are you going back to Nigeria after the game, and if you are can I go with you?" he asked." of course, let my people brag about me and celebrate me and......" I was saying before Mason cut me off. " why won't you take me there with you, I heard a lot of good things about there," he said with pleading eyes. "No, I don't want my people googling their eyes over you and not me so no, and that's final." I said crossing my eyes.  "Chi, get over here, we have to start warming up." Lauren told me." alright alright I'm on my way." I assured her. 

(time skip)

we were lining up for the national anthems. Some German players looked at me with a critical look, but I didn't care. England was going to win the euros and we were going to bring it home. I sang the national anthem with pride, my chest up, and my voice moderately loud. (I couldnt  sing so well.) as soon as we were done singing, I went to put my jacket away when I heard someone shout my name. "CHINARA" I look up to see the only judge Bellingham. "your going to do great, don't be scared," he assured me. of course, my crush was the one assuring me before the biggest match in Wembley. 

now I have had a crush on Jude ever since I saw him play in Dortmund. I was in Germany visiting my brother and he took me to a Dortmund game, and as I was watching, someone caught my eye. a player with Bellingham on the back. and ever since I saw him play, I have had a crush on him. I never told my brothers anything because I wasn't ready for all the teasing and the embarrassment they would cause. i told bukayo when i got back because i was very sure that he wasnt going to tell anyone, but now im starting to regret it beause for a few days now, ive been getting sheepish looks coming from the mens team whenever jude was around.

back to reality, the game has started. as I was playing I noticed that the Germans had great stamina and very good tactics. once it was halftime I had to say something. " guys we need a tactic that would outsmart the Germans. their tactic is for them to try and tire us out so they have the advantage to get the ball better." my voice came out as a breath but only because I was really tired. " yes, Chinara isn't wrong. I'm tired as hell, and if the Germans keep it up, I might be exhausted before the end of the match. good thinking Chinara." Lucy complimented me. " if you want to change our strategy, think of something now before halftime is over. I thought for a second. " what if we play the Germans in their own game, as in we fool them to be tired like for ten minutes, then we strike." it sounded better in my head when I thought about it. " you know, that's not bad. it's actually good," Lauren said. "so that's what we are doing everyone." I felt confident about my idea but I wasn't too sure it would work.
