The English are never done

I remember that my white shirt is basically see through now, thanks to the drink spilled all over my chest. And I don't have another shirt, or jacket with me.

It also seems that Leah has also realized that. She quickly takes off her jacket and hands it to me.

Not realizing that she gave it to me so I could wear it over my shirt, I just look at her confused.

"Wear it. Your shirts basically see through now, everyone can see everything. And we can't have that." She says.

I quickly put it on.

"Thank you, you didn't have to give me your jacket."

She just shrugs.

"So what are you doing here?" She ask.

"Oh I'm actually here for the Euros. Im going to watch your game against Austria. I live in London, so I thought it would be better to just get a hotel here and stay a couple of days, instead of driving 4 hours the morning of the game. And only driving 1."

As she opens her mouth to speak again, the door to the cafe opens and two people yell out Leah's name.

"Leah! We have to go!" One of the says.

She starts to stand up and grab her things.

"It was nice seeing you again Kali, hopefully we meet again." She smiles at me. "See ya later."

Before she starts walking away I ask her something. "Hey! What about your jacket?"

"Just give it to me after the game."

And with that She walks out to meet her friends again.

July 6

Two days have passes since I met Leah at the cafe, and since she gave me her jacket.

It's the first game of the Euros today and I'm going to go watch England play against Austria.

I end up going In some baggy jeans and an England jersey, Leah's Jersey. With a tote bag, and Leah's jacket inside.

I walked inside the stadium and went to find my seat. It was near the England bench so you could see some of the players sitting down.

Once players start to come out to warm up, more fans head to this seats. We see them all start stretching and whatever they do to warm up. I see Leah and two of her friends together.

I think she saw me since I saw one of her friends point at me. Which made her smack their hand down. They start laughing, while Leah looks back at me to see if I saw.

After a while of the players from both teams warming up they go back inside the locker rooms to get changed into the kits. And soon the game starts. The line ups good, Leah's playing. She's actually the captain.

The game starts and nothing really happens until the 16th minute, where Beth Mead scores beautifully. A little bit after Ellen White had a chance but the ball went it little wide. After that there were a couple more chances for both teams but non get in. It ends with England winning, 1-0.

After the players shake hands and stuff. They go and talk to some fans. Leah starts walking over to me, already smiling.

"Hey Kali!" She says.
