chapter 11

IM BACK IM SO SO SO SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO POST BUT IT WAS WORTH IT I PASSED ALL MY MOCKS AND I WAS HAVING SPINAL SURGERY WHICH WENT WRONG SO SORRY I DIDNT WRITE

it's now December and villa are doing amazing this season and i mean amazing tonight is the last game before the winter break , we are playing city away . the team  are currently  on the bus on in our pre match zones on the way to city's ground i'm sat with
ava and mum i have ava strapped up in a car seat one airpod in doing my alevel phycology work and sent in some videos for pe so for the most part i'm pretty calm i still don't know if im starting i really hope i am this is my last chance to get picked for the england u17 world cup as it's in January in spain (a/n : not accurate i know i'm sorry most off this isn't accurate i'm just going to forget about the 2023 world i think because i forgot to write about it sorry ) the call cups are meant to come out tomorrow but it's one last chance right ?

once we arrive at city's ground we greet some away fans and head in to the changing rooms i walk over to my spot still just as proud as i always am to see my shirt hanging. we beat city twice last season in the league and fa cup but this is hopefully going to be the first time at where i will start. the line up come out in half an hour so i just take this time to get ready and play with ava . i turn away from the rest off the team cover up and start to feed ava since she had started to cry so right now i'm kind off tucked away facing away feeding ava "kid you know you don't need to hide your feeding you child it's nothing to be ashamed off" i hear i think lucy i slowly turn round seeing mum looking at me as well as Sarah... i need to ask about that they have been getting suspiciously close since mum and millie broke up.
"settle down girls i have the lineup" Carla says we all obviously shut up
"so the starting 11 is
rachel
rachel d
tatum
maz
staniforth
kirsty
danielle
laura
lucy
jordan
anna
i know this line up is a bit all over the place but i have a feeling that this will be good "
OMG call up day is tomorrow and i'm starting !!!
i finish with ava and abel sure she's set for the match with a bottle and supplies in a bag for emergencies and get ready to go out for pitch inspection i decide i'm going to take ava out with me and hopefully get her to sleep befor the match starts so our wonderful photographer alice can look after her whilst employing injured anna leat for photos.
so i put her in her carrier making sure she's warm enough with a hat and blankets once i've made sure that she has enough layers on i make my way outside the city girls were already there and Rachel is talking to a few off them that i assume she knows from england camp so i walk over "heyyyyyyyyy mummm can we go asda on the way back"  i shout properly to loud "yes we can but why we did a shop last night" "i want tropicana" i state dead serious "i acc still can't get over the fact your a grandma and your younger than me" of course it's Steph i've met her a few times she's lovely but doesn't half take the piss out off mum "you know you were nicer when we played together" we continued talking for a while then joking about the wild leeds united days together until we had to go back inside go get ready for warm up.
"alice you are such s life saver thank you so much i really hope she sleeps for most off it if you need to take me off because it's to much please just tell carla again thank you so much i" "tatum calm down it's no trouble at all" alice cut off my ramble and threw my out onto the field to warm up we spent a good half an hour warming up and i'm sure i saw what looked like Jonatan Giráldez in the stand but no surly not why is he here but i mean i can always try and impress

i grab my mascots hand and we walk out do all the formalities and its time to begin
