i fiddle with my fingers as bruna and i approach pedri's house, my heart beating in sync with the music being blasted. i normally wasn't one to get nervous or anxious at social events like this but this was different than the other times. it felt like i was entering the lion's den.

"try to have fun, talk to people." bruna gives me a nudge on the shoulder, snapping me out of nervous thoughts.

"of course, why would i not be talking to people... you say that as if i've never been to a party in my life." i retort and to which she shrugs. we eventually make it to the door that's left wide open. bruna pauses right before entering the house and checks her phone while i awkwardly stand beside her.

"okay, bruna's here. i'm going to bring her over here, hold up." the rest of the guys and i watch as pedri hesitantly heads over to the entrance.

"look at him, he's so nervous." ferran comments as soon as pedri is out of view.

"i've never seen him this worked up over a girl," gavi adds, shaking his head. "but i'm happy that he's met someone like her."

"soon it'll be my turn." lamine says with a wide grin and he's immediately met with a slap on the head from alejandro.

"you're still a kid, too young for that stuff." alejandro jokingly lectures lamine, pulling him into a headlock.

"you're not even that much older than me..."

after a few moments of awkward waiting, we spot pedri coming our way. he opens up his arms to hug bruna as he approaches.

"you look good as ever." pedri compliments her as he engulfs her entire frame. i can only want to cringe at the sight in front of me, knowing bruna was probably cheesing so hard internally. "come with me, let me introduce you to some of my teammates."

"uh..." bruna turns to me with some uncertainty.

"valentina too." now they're both looking at me, waiting for a reaction or some sort of answer. i just awkwardly nod and both their faces instantly light up.

"oh he's back." i look over to see pedri heading our way and two girls following behind him.

"you guys, i want you to meet bruna," pedri guides her over to us. we take turns swiftly greeting her. "and valentina."

i see her emerge into view from behind pedri and bruna. everyone once again taking their turns to say hi. as it came down to my turn, words just refused to come out of my mouth.
