Ivy wasn't starting for the friendly against Australia, so she had made her way over to the bench and sat down next to Jude, who wasn't starting either.

"How's Madrid life going, bro?" Marcus asked as he was sat the other side of Jude. "All good, love it there. Vee's helped me a lot to settle in" Jude replied as Ivy smiled at the comment.

"Someone has to help you out, don't they?" Marcus joked as Jude rolled his eyes. "You think I'm like only 16 or something!" Jude mumbled.

"You sure act like it sometimes" Ivy said as Jude pushed her slightly making her giggle. "You love me really," Ivy added. "For some reason I do" Jude said as Ivy slap him lightly.

"You two act like siblings," KYLE WALKER told them. "Basically are, he's only just moved out of my home and got his own place after nearly 3 months!" Ivy replied.

"How did you put up with him for that long?" Phil joked as Jude rolled his eyes. "Well, I got my own place now so you can't say anything anymore" Jude said.

Eventually Ivy and Jude stopped messing around and focused on the game, it came to half-time and it was 0-0.

Ivy and the players who were on the bench, went out onto the pitch when the rest of their teammates went into the dressing room.

Ivy was passing the ball around with Marcus and Jude, until she heard her name being called. She turned around and seen a few teenager girls calling her.

Ivy made her way over to them, as she got closer she could see that they either had her England or Real Madrid shirt on.

Ivy talked to them while she signed their shirts and took pictures with them. "Thank you so much Ivy!" One of them said. "It's no problem, I'll keep an eye out for you all in stands from now on" Ivy added.

She hugged them all one final time before she made her way back towards the bench, as the second half was about the start. "Just ditch us why don't you" Jude joked.

"Oh shut up, I won't travel back with you to Madrid if you keep this up!" Ivy replied. "Hey! Carlo messaged you saying you have to!" Jude added.

"I'll just say my phone broke and I didn't see it!" Ivy replied. "I hate you" Jude mumbled. "The feeling is mutual" Ivy said.

"When will they stop?" Marcus mumbled shaking his head at his fellow teammates.
