(A\N: there's going to be some repetition in this story but only to give a different view on the situation and details you don't receive in the other.)
Blake's POV
"I think I'm going to text Aitana."
"Fucking simp." Blair laughed as she scrolled on her phone. How is it that everyone assumes that I'll be the mean one when it's definitely her. I was pretty friendly.
"You know you could maybe not be an ass here." She shrugged.
"Or I could continue being an ass here as well. What's the fun in being nice? I don't care about getting in bed with people like you."
"Oh shut it." I glared. Sure I've slept around. I like physical touch...to the extreme.
"What is it even about Bonmati?" She asked me confused. Yeah Aitana's a little different than most girls I've liked or hooked up with. I like bad girls. Bonmati looks so sweet and innocent.
"I'm not sure yet."
"Odd." She chewed her gum as we waited to go to Mapi's house for team bonding and introductions. I was excited to see Aitana and Ona again. If anything those two seem like they'll be great friends to have.
I did really think I had feelings for Aitana. Kind of one of those first glances and a fuzzy feeling. Ew Blair is right. I'm going soft.
"Do you feel different here?"
"I feel like I'm going to be excited for this contract to end." Blair scoffed as she clenched her jaw.
"Or you could try out this great new adventure." I shrugged trying to be positive. Maybe someones smile rubbed off on me today.

"Hey Aitana!" I smiled wide as I saw the small midfielder exit her car. She sent a shy smile my way as Ona got out of the car as well.
I knew I was probably overthinking things but I felt this odd feeling that they may like each other. I mean they've known each other half their lives. I just need to shoot my shot.
"Are you excited to meet the team and get to know them?" Aitana had adorable eyes. The way she had to look up at me was so cute.
"I am pretty excited." I told her walking with her to join the team on Mapi's back porch.
"Hey Blake." Ingrid waved as I walked in to take a seat next to Aitana who had Ona on the other side.
"I'm glad everyone could make it tonight. In case anyone has missed anything Ona, Blake, Blair, welcome to the team! Ona especially welcome home!" Aitana kissed the side of her head as she gave her friend a tight hug. Hopefully they were just bestfriends.
"When did the two of you decide on Barca of all places? The Americans have been going to Lyon and PSG for years now." Kiera asked curiously and as expected I had to be the on that answered.
"Honestly it wasn't our choice...so everyone knows the World Cup was shit for the United States. We obviously were not part of that shit show. The federation figured it would be better to start branching out overseas. They tried to push Mallory to the WSL. She was actually supposed to go to Arsenal I think but she refused and then they wanted Catarina to stay in Europe so she went to Chelsea when her Lyon contract was up.
Lindsey is still under contract with Lyon. God Girma needs to leave the fucking states she was the best player on our roster for the cup."
"Umm how do I put this...your team is uh fragile eh? You are always injured group? Why doesn't your manager manage better?" Ona asked me bluntly. I laughed lightly at the Spanish accent and obliviousness of the girl.
