Being Alessia Russos younger sister you would think is amazing, but when I get kicked out by my parents and join my sister in her house in London. Things get worse.
We get to Leah's and I didn't expect for her to have such a big house. "Woah, this looks amazing" I say "Thanks" Leah says We go inside and Gracie shows me her room, it was big but yet cosy. I liked it.
"Make yourself home, honestly this place is like a castle" Gracie says "Surprising for two people" Gracie says "Two people?" I question "Oh yeah, my sisters in a relationship with the villa footballer Jordan nobbs" Gracie explains "Oh yeah" I say
We both get changed, Gracie changed into her arsenal kit as she had training. "So arsenal, has it always been arsenal?" I ask "Christ if it wasn't I'd be dead, Leah would kill me" she says laughing "What about you?" She asks "Not always. Lessi played at United so for a while I wanted to follow in her footsteps but I guess arsenal or Barcelona" I say "Fair" she says We both head downstairs and Leah had food ready for us. "Thanks Leah" I say
"Oh don't thank me, Jordan made it" she says as her girlfriend follows her. "Thanks Jordan" I say "No problem kid" she says We all sit there eating. "So if you could move to any country where would it be?" Jordan asks me "Australia, it's just like so sunny and way better weather than here. I've got a cousin living out there at the minute so hopefully she wouldn't mind if I moved with her" I say with a slight laugh. "I've got a cousin in Melbourne. It's quite pretty I can't lie" Jordan says "How was training" I ask the couple.
"It was good, I mean as good as it can be right? I love football but fitness days are not it" Leah says "Yeah it was good, I mean we had to say goodbye to some of the girls with the transfer window and everything, but that means we get a stronger team" Jordan says "How was school?" Jordan asks me "It was good, I mean thanks to Gracie's help otherwise I would have been completely lost" I say as I look to the girl beside me with a smile. "Yeah, you should've seen her. We walked to PE exam and although I'm in a different room to her she managed to walk into my class so I took her to hers. It was funny you've got to admit" Gracie says "It wasn't. It was so embarrassing" I say We finish eating and Leah says "I spoke to Liam and he said you could join in with training madi" "I don't have my training stuff" I say "You can borrow some stuff of mine" Gracie says "Alright" I say and we head back upstairs.
Gracie gives me her spare kit. I put my trainers on and we go to London Colney. "This place is massive" I say "I cannot believe you've never been here before" Leah says "Well alessia has barely been here for a season, so it makes sense" I say We get out the car and walk inside, Leah speaks to Liam and he slowly approaches me. "Madison, I've heard so many great things about you. I know that you need to go through the trial process but Ive seen the videos, so I want to have you in the team instantly is that okay?" He says "Yeah" I say
"Girls" he shouts and everyone huddled in a circle. "This is Madison, our newest team member" Liam says. "Aren't you alessias sister?" One of the girls say "Yeah" I say "I'm Isabelle" one pipes in. "I'm Hannah" another says "Kayleigh" "Chloe" "Amy"
The rest of the girls introduce themselves and we get onto training, but one girl caught my eye. She was called Francesca, she seemed so sweet.
"Hey wanna work with me?" She comes over and asks me. "Yeah" I say and me and Fran pass each other the ball. "So being russos, sister must be fun?" She says "You'd think so" I say "It's not?" She asks "Not really" I say "I get it, my older sister and I don't get on either" she says "What's her name?" I ask "Sophie" she answers "I live with my parents and Sophie's moved out, but still she's a bitch" Fran explains "I can imagine" I say
We talk for the rest of the session and then we go into the changing rooms. "Good session?" Leah says as she approaches me and Gracie. "Yeah" we both say and head to her car.
We get back to Leah's and go up to Gracie's room. "You can get a shower" Gracie tells me. "Thanks" I say and head into the shower.
Francesca was so lovely, but yet seemed so sad. She seemed angered at something and I couldn't work it out. But yet she had an innocent side to her and that made my heart warm up, I felt my cheeks slightly blush as I remember the encounter we had, of when we both went to pick the ball up but her pinky rubbed off mine. I know it's nothing and I'm completely overthinking the situation, but am I?
I get out the shower and change:

Gracie's TV was on and she was watching friends, she was in the guest rooms shower. I do my skincare whilst watching friends. Gracie walks in, in practically the same outfit as me. I look at her and we both laugh.
We both get into Gracie's bed and I felt myself fall asleep immediately.
Gracie POV
I head downstairs once she'd fallen asleep. "You okay?" Jordan asks me I shrug and walk into the kitchen and get some water. "What's up?" Leah asks, as she stared at her computer focusing on her accountant work. "Nout" I say "You sure? You look confused" Jordan says, why did she know me so well? Leah quickly glances up at me. "Is Madison okay?" Leah asks "Yeah" I say "Is she asleep?" Jordan asks " Yeah" I say "Right what's up. Spill it" Leah says I lean my elbows on the counter and sigh. "I don't know anymore" I open up "With what kid?" Jordan asks
I stay silent, I didn't know how to get the words out. "Is it Madison?" Leah asks "No" I say "Me? Jordan?" Leah then says "No, I just— I don't know anymore" I say "Is it football? Has something happened at school?" Jordan asks My eyes start to water. "What's happened?" Leah asks coming over. "I'm so confused" I cry "With what?" Jordan asks coming round and giving me a hug. I suck up the tears. "It doesn't matter see you in the morning" I say
I untangle myself and go back upstairs. Luckily Madison was still in bed and asleep.
The next morning I wake up and Netflix was still on, Madison was awake. I look at her and groan, "when did you wake up?" I ask "When your sister came in and said it was half 6 and we needed to get ready for school" she says "Shit! What time is it" I say "Erm 7:15" Madison says "Then why are you still lying down. For fuck sake we need to get ready" I say "Calm down, I got up at 7:40 yesterday and was I ready on time yes?" Madison says
Madison PoV
Gracie gets up and gets ready and so do I. I use Gracie's makeup as I left mine at home. I pop my lips after applying lip gloss and say "done" "Finally" Gracie says and takes the seat at rhetorical vanity to do her own makeup.
I go downstairs and Leah had cereal out for me and Gracie. "Morning" I say to Leah "Morning" she says "Everything okay?" I ask as Leah looked confused. "Yeah" she says "Any word on alessia?" I ask "She's coming back today" Leah answers "Good" I say
Gracie comes down and we eat and then head back to school.
