who is...she?

i get into my car and drive to training for the day. today we have late training, so we normally go out for dinner as a group afterwards, to sooth our minds of the reckless training we just completed.

i sing along lightly to Karol G in the car as i wind my way through the streets of barcelona to get to the training facility. it is a nice and sunny afternoon, perfect weather for training. we also have an away game tomorrow, so i am excited for that.

i pull up to the training grounds and get out of my car, going around to the boot and grabbing my bad before i feel someone jumping on my back. i catch them before they fall and bring me to the ground as well as themself.

"hold single pringle" i hear them say. mapi. of course it is mapi, who else would it be? mapi is my best friend, very kind, childish, crazy, annoying and everything but i love her with my whole heart. she has a special place in my heart that nobody is able to replace.

"first of all, don't call me that again. secondly, hello to you to mapita" i say placing her back on the ground

"why can't i call you it, it's not like you have a girlfriend. or do you and your just not telling me? ALEXIA ARE YOU HIDING SOMEONE FROM US?" she asks as we walk into the training grounds

"no and shut up" i say as we walk into the locker room

"oh my gosh does la reina have a girlfriend?" claudia asks in amusement.

"no i don't" "yes she does" mapi and i both say at the same time. i stare at he with an unimpressed face whilst she looks like she is about to burst into laughter.

"wait you do?" asks keira. 

"no i don't. mapi is just making things up" i say as i put my boots on. 

"well she said she doesn't, but i have my reasons to back up why she does." says mapi as we all walk out to the training pitches. we did light work today and then we did some light muscle training inside the gym before it was time to go home.

we all decided to go to the restaurant down the street so we were all able to walk down their in an orderly fashion without causing to much havoc amongst the quiet streets of barcelona. we get to the restaurant and sit down. i am seated next to Lucy and Salma, which is not a bad choice when being seated net to a bunch of weirdo's. everyone makes small talk amongst themselves whilst we wait for our food. i am currently chatting to Lucy, Keira, Ona and Aitana about some show they all watch and why it is recommended and why it isn't. i honestly don't care though, i might watch it at some point or i might not. i listen to the 4 girls bicker back and forth before i hear mapi call out my name.

"oi ale" she says across the table. i turn my head towards her and i see ingrid shaking her head next to her, laughing slightly.

"what?" i reply

"why don't you tell us about your girlfriend?" she says, which turns heads and ears towards our conversation, and before you know it the whole table is agreeing with mapi.

"i don't have a girlfriend." i say

"then why aren't we allowed to come over to your house?" asks Jana

"i never said you weren't allowed, i just don't want you there."

"why not?" asks Bruna

"maybe because i don't want you guys to ruin anything?" 

"now that i think of it, i don't even know your new house address. i also don't know why you moved houses, you had a perfectly good one before." mapi states.

"i just needed a change."

"a change? the alexia Putellas needed a change? i dont think so." says mariona.

"this is why i think she has a special someone. she keeps making up stupid excuses to things and she isn't even telling us the real reason." mapi complains.

"the only special someone i have is nala and that is it. she is my one and only baby."

"are you sure about that?" asks ona

"yes. 100%"

"so your telling me you see your family 3 times every single week? i would be lucky to see mine once every 2 months." states lucy. the table nods in agreement.

"what is wrong with seeing and loving my family?" i ask, taking a bite of my food.

"we didn't say anything was wrong, it just doesn't seem normal to see your family every week, more like, 3 times a week. maybe even on your days off, but who knows because you don't hangout with any of us." Esmee says.

"yeah because she is too busy hanging out with her girlfriend." mapi smirks. i just roll my eyes and decide to end the conversation there. i don't say anything, which obviously catches the attention of most.

"she didn't even try to deny it this time.." Irene says.

"Yeah because i'm tired and i just want to go home to nala" i complain

"no you want to go home to your girlfriend" Sandra says.

after a while of bickering about my "girlfriend" we all decide to head home as we have to be at the training center by 9am to get moving to Madrid for our game. We play real Madrid tomorrow, so it is important we all get enough sleep through the night and we are all ready and prepared for tomorrow. 

everyone says goodbye and we all part different ways, making our way home in order to be back here by tomorrow for an important game.

first part!! 

okay so this is my first ever book!! i'm very excited to see how this turns out, and if anyone has any ideas please let me know!! since this is my first book, here are 5 things about me:

- my name is leila, but people seem to call me dory a lot as i'm pretty much her human twin:)

- i am from australia, so please don't mind the fact that i have no idea what goes on in different countries and i have not once been to spain before, so i am honestly going off of what other people have said to me!!

- i support the clubs Barcelona and Arsenal, both genders but mainly women (don't come at me)

- my favourite players are Caitlin Foord, and probably Patri Guijarro.

- i really enjoy my food. food is everything. if i'm being honest, it is probably what encouraged me to write the most. (the more i write, the more i can eat guys)

anyway!! i hope you enjoy the book, hopefully i can get a new part out every two or so days!

leave a star if you enjoyed and comment idea's cause i need some:)
