"Ahh, i will tell you what, i have not missed this weather" i say, gesturing towards the sky as we step outside of the airport.
We have just gathered our belongings and are now attempting to find our ride. Yes. Attempting. Meaning we havent got a fucking clue who is picking us up.
"Ahh, gotta love the good old British weather" lucy says, breathing in deeply.
"Nope, im with y/n, no one likes the cold and wet" keira says, swinging her arm around me
I just chuckle and turn around, scanning the car park for the sign saying our names
"Ahh ha, i see it, lets go" i say, grabbing my things and leaving quickly.
"I- what- wait, y/n!" I hear lucy say from behind me, obviously fumbling with her things as i hear a little bang.
"Oh for fuck sake" i hear lucy shout.
I finally turn around to see her belongings face down in probably the deepest puddle ive seen
"Pfft hahahahaha" i burst out laughing at the scene unfolding infront of me as i turn around and walk off towards our ride, still laughing as i arrive.

"Y/n y/l/n, lucy bronze and keira walsh?" The man asks
"Yep, thats us" i say, nodding my head gently
"Right, lets get going then" he says, grabbing my belongings and gesturing for me to enter the backseat of the car
I gladly accept, wanting to have this travel day over and done with as soon as possible.

"Ughh" i hear lucy say as the fianlly gets in the car with keira following closely behind
"Well, what took you two so long" i say, looking at the two footballing stars.
I just get two hard glares in return at my comment before the driver finally finishes loading our luggage

"Right, lets go then ladies" he says before starting the car and driving off

1 hour later
"Finafuckingly" i mumble as we pull up outside of St George's park
I look up at the building, noticing how large it is now
I step out of the building quickly, wanting to stretch my legs after today

We enter the building after walking past the media team, giving a brief  wave due to my exhaustion.
I enter the room to see Sarina standing at the entrance smiling directly at me
"Y/n! So nice to see you, please, follow me" she says eagerly, completely ignoring the two ladies beside me
I just follow sarina through the large building, not wishing to get lost.
"Fucking hell, she is marching away, i feel like a lost puppy" i mumble mostly to myself but i hear lucy and keira chuckle beside me quietly

"Finally" i mumble again, stopping outside of a lardge wooden door that has obviously been freshly painted.
Sarina swiftly spins around on the spot, facing me, Lucy and keira, now having a serious look on her face. She has an aura around her, making her look authoritve and respected to anyone. However, this does not scare me due to my larger build and my height. I suppose my attitude might help sometimes as Alexia would say.

She claps her hands together loudly, making the two girls next to me jump slightly.
"Right, keira and Lucy, please, enter." She says, motioning towards the door. The two girls follow these instructions quickly, obviously not wanting to argue.
They move their luggage towards the pile of bags already in the corner or the large corridor. That seems to be the storage unit for now.
I go to follow the girls but am quickly stopped before entering the room, after i had already dropped my luggage off.
"Nope, you need to stay here" Sarina says, holding her arm out infront of me, touching me slightly.
I just look at sarina, eyebrows raised.
She scrunches her face up, obviously confused on why i am doing this.
I gesture towards her arm, not liking the physical contact or the minor lack of respect.
She swiftly moves her arm back down to her side, identifying my discomfort in her actions.

"Please, do not touch me" i say in a loud and authoritive voice, seeing sarina shrink down at her now lack of authority around me.
"Erm yes, ok" she mumbles, attempting to move the conversation on.
"I will need you to stand out here. I will do an introduction and when you hear the que, come inside and stand next to me" she says, composting herself
I just nod my head gently, taking a step away from the door, allowing her to enter.

"Alright ladies. Lovely to see you all again. We are preparing for a hard year so please, work hard and lets get on with these next couple of weeks." She says, followed by all the ladies clapping their hands.
"Right, now, onto the exciting stuff"
"As you all know, unfortunately steph has been injured and will be out for a period of time. So we have a rookie joining us, please welcome y/n y/l/n." Sarina says.
I assume that is my que. I open the door strongly, walking in and looking down at sarina as i stand next to her.
I feel my presence in the room to be strong and authoritive, just as i wished it to be.

"Hello everyone, im y/n y/l/n, i hope to step into these shoes and fill it as best as possible and to the best of my ability. I cant wait to join you all" i say, smiling at the ladies.
However, instead of warm smiles, i receive and series of hard glares from many individuals.
I look towards Lucy and keira for help and they just smile awkwardly at me, motioning me to sit down next to them.

"Right, lets get on with the meeting then." Sarina says, continuing with her talk.

1 hour later
"Right, and finally to finish, i would like to annouce our newest captain. Leah, would you like to say a few words to the ladies" sarina says, gesturing towards a blonde hair individual
She smiles and stands up infront of the room, a few loud clapping and whistling is heard, making her chuckle slightly.
"Yes ladies. I have the privilege to annouce i will be stepping into the role of the captain for this camp. I hope to please you all and help us get our win in the first Arnold clark cup." She says, smiling towards eveyone, receiving more clapping as she sits down.
"And now ladies, please proceed towards the reception desk. State your names and your key card will be given to you." Sarina says, now leaving the room

I walk with everyone else as we all collect our luggage. I stay behind on my own, not wanting to get in the way of everyone after my awkward first interaction with the team.
Everyone finally trails off, leaving my luggage as the only one behind and all the girls have finally left, leaving me with a moment of peace.

*Sigh*
I breath out heavily, feeling a hand rest gently on my shoulder
I move away, holding onto the arm harshly and turn around to see who had the right to touch me
I look to see sarina standing there with a look of shock on her face.
I let go of the hand gently, looking at her with a confused look
"Right, yeah, no touching, got it" she says, chuckling to herself as she rubs her wrist gently
"Can i help you?" I say, walking over and picking up my luggage with ease.
"They will warm up to you." She says, smiling gently and walking off, leaving me now on my own.

I trek slowly towards the reception desk, knowing there would still be a que.
I turn towards it, seeing most girls have left, leaving just lucy and keira gathering their things.
"Come on y/n, get your key and we will walk you to your room" Lucy says, smiling towards me.
I just nod my head gently, walking towards the desk, looking down towards the cute looking receptionist
"Y/n y/l/n" i say, smiling gently towards the young lady, attempting not to scare her as i give off that impression.
She just smiles back, obviously recognising my nicer tone and reaches to get my key.
"Number 23, and my number" she says, winking towards me, handing me my key and a small peice of paper, her number clearly wrote on it.
I just smirk at her and turn to walk off

"Anddd time to go" Lucy says, swinging her arm around me and walking off
I just chuckle quietly and walk away with the couple, obviously being a third wheel

We quickly make it two the second floor, dragging out luggage behind us.
"Right y/n, this is yours, we are on the floor below. Dinner is in 10 minutes so, be quick." Lucy keira says, going to walk off
"Wait, what room are you two" i say, curious
"7" they say together, holding their two key cards and smirking
I just roll my eyes at them. Obviously they are sharing.

I turn towards my door, opening it gently
Well, lets see who im sharing with...
