All too much

Lando Norris

I was back in Monaco after the Hungarian GP, I wasn't too happy with the outcome but I was happy for Oscar and I followed team orders no matter how silly I found them. A few days before the race Magui sent me pictures of Maddie and Kylian in Portugal, which I was surprised about. I never expected Maddie and Magui to be at the same party but seeing Maddie laugh with Kylian made me understand how she felt when she saw the pictures of me and Magui.

I needed to go on a run, I just wanted my head clear before Spa but Aarav, Ethan, Ria, Niran, Steve, Max and Pietra came to Monaco yesterday to film somethings for Quadrant and to do some streams, I hadn't streamed in a while so I was a bit rusty.

"The girls are going out." Max says, walking into my gym room.

"Where they going? We're meant to film soon." I frown, waiting for him to respond but he looks away like he didn't want to say. "Max?"

"They've gone to Maddie's, P wanted to see her." He finally spits out, patting my shoulder.

"Ah okay." I nod, "let's do a stream."

"Ahh what the fuck! This game is so shit!" I pout, standing up and knocking over my chair.

"Don't be a sore loser Lando." Aarav laughs, as him and Niran celebrate their victory. Meanwhile Ethan glares at me.

"Bro what the fuck was that? You just stood there and let them shoot you!" He cries, throwing the controller on the desk.

"No you freaking muppet. They teamed up against me!" I shout, I hate Fortnite. It's such a shit game.

"Chat as you can see sassy Lando is back." Max says reading some of the comments. "Where's Ria? She's gone out with P and Maddie."

"They left us!" Niran shouts, shoving his face in the camera and reading more comments, he bursts out laughing. "Ria is watching, she said she's going to FaceTime me."

"You guys are absolutely snakes!" She shouts as soon as Niran answers.

"Chat you see what she's doing! Where even are you?" Ethan asks, popping his head over Niran's shoulder.

"We're at a cafe. What's it called?" She asks, looking at someone.

"L'Oliverai." I hear Maddie tell her and I immediately perk up. I hadn't heard her voice in a while, we've been to that cafe a few times, it was our brunch spot when we were in Monaco.

"Can we join?" Aarav asks jokingly, "chat shall we go crash their lunch?"

"No it's a girls day." P responds, but when she sees Max pout she turns to probably Maddie. "Can they come?" She whispers but we all heard clearly.

"Erm sure?" Maddie replies, I know she hates being put on the spot.

I try to busy myself with reading the chat but most of the comments were about me and Maddie. They continue to talk and make plans to meet in half an hour while I talk to the chat.

"Okay chat, we'll see you tomorrow." Max says, as everyone waves. I give the camera a huge smile and thumbs up before Aarav ends the stream and they all walk out the room to get ready. "You good?"

"Yeah I don't think I'm going to come with you guys." I tell him, I didn't want to make Maddie feel uncomfortable.

"Just come, maybe you'll finally get to clear the air." He nods towards the door gesturing for me to get up.

"I don't know mate, I don't think she wants to clear the air. She looked pretty happy with Kylian." I sigh, running a hand through my hair. I've spent days looking at those pictures and how she just looked so carefree. She probably wouldn't get as much hate with him then she had with me.
