Joao Felix was considered a weird kid, not that he was, he just always had a smile and came off too happy which shouldnt even exist.
Evora Silva, was one of the more popular girls at school but she didnt see how joao was annoying.
The two grew clos...
"Wakey wakeyyy" gio smiles clapping above my head. "Come we are going to their training" she says. I groan and stretch before lugging myself out of bed.
I freshen up and get dressed.

I go downstairs, eat breakfast with them and gio, me and the kids all head out to the training centre. "So is this for the euros?" gio asks jr
"No gio" he sighs "this is the euro qualifiers, not big games but basically a warm up for euros"
"Attitude much" gio rolls her eyes, we continue talking and stuff and we finally get to the stadium. Obviously i dont live under a rock, i know joao is on this team and im well aware he will be here today.
We finally get there and cristiano comes and helps the kids out of the car, but gio doesnt get out.
"Are we going?" i ask
"Yes but wait" she says. It's only us in the car now and i wait for her to continue.
"So you gonna tell me why you were so hesitant to come?" she asks. I pause, i want to tell her everything with joao, i really do but im just not ready to talk about it.
Well i know it's been years but it's also alot to explain in one sitting.
"Nothing- i was just tired" i lie, ill tell her later, when we dont have a place to be. She looks at me for about 5 seconds before nodding and getting her bags.
We walk inside the stadium, and continue talking as regular.
"Ill get it out of you" she grinns. I grinn and roll my eyes and we continue talking as normal. We finally get to the training, a bunch of other WAGS are also there.
"Gio! So nice to see you again, and- are you evora? I love your designs- im ines" this pretty lady with blonde hair comes up to us
"Hi" i smile, i end up meeting daniela and alicia too. Alicia is a little girl but she is so cute and she is such a slay baddie
We all sit down on the seats, not too far from the boys and talk. After a couple hours, they wrap up training and everyone starts talking altogether.
Its decided that they will have lunch together, right now. I have no choice other than to go along with it.
We all walk as a big group, most of them walking with their partner. A few people remain, but end up just going with their friends. I walk behind them all, just looking around the city i havent been in for so many years.
I remember walking down this street with-
"evora!" someone pants running behind me. My head turns to joao, he i guess was a bit late. We walk together in silence as he catches his breathe again.
"uh- so- um" he stutters, i cant help but smile a little- the same stutter as when we were kids.
"im sorry- for how i reacted that night at the bar" i say
"no no its okay" he shakes his head, both of us are looking at the ground as we walk, but look at each other at the same time.
I give him a small smile as we continue walking. We talk, just- as if we didnt stop being friends for ages.
"Remember the last time we came here?" he sighs looking around "we walked right along here"
Yeah and then we had our first kiss right under that tree.
"yeah" i say "we ate here didnt we?" i ask as we follow the others into a restruant.
"yeah we did- remember" he laughs, its such a pretty laugh oh god "this old lady started chasing us"
I laugh as we sit down, together. As we eat together, it's as if it's just me and him, nobody else. Despite us being in a whole group.
And despite our rocky history. I really want to be with him but i also know what i am to him, second choice. And do i want to be that?
No of course not, but i also want him but- what do i do
As soon as he became - who he is now, as soon as he got taller, got muscles, got nice hair, everyone wanted him. And i knew him, i thought 'well his looks changed but his personality wouldnt', and i guess it didnt but, his priorities definitely changed.
Even his brother, hugo, talked to me about joao not keeping in that much touch anymore. Part of me wanted to yell at him for thinking he was top but- i got mad at him once in year 5 and his face haunts me so im never doing that again.
I was having issues at home, right after my dad - anyways and i just ended up snapping at him.
As i watch him talk, his big smile and his sparkling eyes, i end up zoning out.
"you gonna stop staring?" he laughs
"shut up i was zoned out" i roll my eyes.
"am i really that boring?" he laughs
"yes" i grinn. We continue talking, after the whole group is done eating, we all walk back to the stadium.
"hey- wanna take a detour?" he whispers stopping, i look back at him, at his cheeky little smile. I take his hand and he takes us to the tree- joao why do you have to do this I'm trying my best to be friends with you but you keep reminding me of the things that if i think about i cant be friends with you.
We sit under it, looking at the sunset. Please please please dont say anything that will make things awkward joao.
"remember when we sat here and then we-" he says as he rips up leaves. I dramatically gasp- oh that was horrible but how else can i get him to stop.
"im feeling a bit sick can you drop me off" i ask him
"yeah claro" he smiles, clueless, standing up and walking us to his car. "thanks" i smile as he drives me back to gios house.
"well uh- i gave you my number right? or was that a dream or was it just someone who looked like you" he stutters
"uh no it was me but- i broke my phone- ill text you soon though dont worry" i smile
