Anthony Gordon's Point of View
15th May 2024
I don't think that I'm completely prepared for this yet. We have to play Manchester United later today, and I'm not sure if I believe we can win. I had my headphones on, just wanting to be left alone for a while. That alone time dissapeared as soon as I heard Bruno shout my name. I decided to ignore it, and act like I hadn't heard it. Maybe he'd leave me alone then. I gulped as he shouted it again. I can't talk right now, please Bruno. Sure, he is one of my closest friends, but I really- and I mean REALLY need some space. I shut my eyes tightly together. Please Bruno, just leave me-- My thoughts got interrupted as the brazillian and slighlty older player removed my headphones. "Ey, Gordinho, what's up?" the brazillian asked. Joelinton burst out laughing and quickly looked away. I knew why he laughed. I know they think I don't know what it means, but I do. They think that I think, that it's just a nickname based off of my name- which it techinically is, but at the same time isn't. I looked down on myself and placed a hand on my waist, gently rubbing it in nerviousity and disgust. "Am I fat...?" I whispered to myself. I shook it out of my head, let go of myself, and looked back up at Bruno. "What was it?" I asked with a fake smile and laugh. Him and Alex Isak- who was sitting next to me, were having some intense eye contact just then. "Uhh," Bruno said, turning back to me. "nevermind actually..." he said as Alex stood up. Isak gestured for the slightly older one to follow, and he did. They left the dressing room, leaving me in wonder of what he was going to ask me about before.
This was just kind of an intro chapter, so I'm sorry that it's a bit short. But fear not, the rest will be longer!
