Michaela quickly changed back into a pair of jeans shorts and a plain, black halter top. She shoved her kit into her bag and let her bag drop to the floor, before sitting down on the bench to tie her trainer's laces.
She stood back up and picked her bag up before looking at the girl next to her. "Hey, Hannah, I'm going to head on now. I'll text you later, yeah?" Hannah nodded at her, shoving her clothes into her bag. "Yeah, sure. See you at the match."
Michaela smiled at her before walking out of the changing room and pulling her phone out, internally thanking the other girl for reminding her about the match on the weekend. She opened Instagram and clicked on her DM's, opening a chat between her and Leah Williamson.

Michaela switched her phone off before placing it in the back of her jeans pocket. She walked up to the vending machine near the reception and looked inside it, wondering what to get.
She spotted a blue bag of M&M's, the last ones, and a bottle of Dr Pepper. She took a £5 note out of her pocket and looked at the machine. She typed in the code of the M&M's, she looked to find where to put notes. They only accepted cards.
Michaela patted her clothes, trying to remember where she left her card. She groaned, realising she had left it at home. She put the note back into her pocket before grabbing her phone. She sighed, typing in her password. She misclicked a number and she groaned again, only louder this time.
She had finally unlocked her phone and searched through it, trying to find Apple Pay. She heard footsteps behind her but she ignored them, guessing it was just other footballers who were leaving too. A hand stretched past her, a card in their hand. The card beeped against the reader and let the M&M's fall to the bottom of the machine.
Michaela spun around, about to yell at the person who had just stolen her M&M's. She was met with blonde hair and those brown eyes, yet again. "Hey, I was going to buy those." She stood in front of him, hands on her hips and an unamused look on her face.
He just shuffled past her and crouched down in front of the machine, taking the packet out. "Earth to Palmer?" She furrowed her eyebrows at him. He stood up straight before handing her the M&M's. "I was just kidding, Cole-"
"Just take them." He insisted, shoving her hands away from him. She raised an eyebrow at him before typing in another code, this time for the drink. By then her phone had turned back off, meaning she had to unlock it. As she unlocked it, a long arm stretched past her, with his card in his hand again.
Cole bought her the drink, too. He bent down and picked the drink up for her before handing it to her. "No, take them back." Michaela tried giving him the drink and M&M's back but he pushed them back towards her. "Fine, if you won't take them back. Take this instead." She held the drink and M&M's in one hand before reaching her hand into her back pocket, grabbing her £5 note.
She tried shoving it into his hands but he pushed her hand away. "I don't want your money." He smirked at her. "Oh... okay." She moved closer to him, looking at him for a few seconds. She slowly moved her hand up and stuffed the money into his pocket before running off.
She ran straight to the exit and sprinted to her car, she unlocked the Range Rover and jumped into the driver's seat before locking the doors. She sat there, out of breath. She looked around for him, but he was still inside the training centre. He looked like he was shaking his head, she had finally won something between the two of them.
She placed her stuff onto the chair next to her before turning on the radio and listening to music. She reversed out of her space, taking one last look inside the centre. She drove out of the centre and made her way back to her home.

Michaela unlocked her apartment's front door and took her shoes off before stepping inside. She locked the door and walked to her kitchen, placing her drink in the fridge and leaving the chocolates on one of the counters. She took her kit out of her bag and placed it in her washing machine, she then placed the bag down on the counter, too.
She walked over to her sofa and laid down on it, kicking her feet up and pulling her phone out before unlocking it. She opened Instagram and clicked on the search button before typing in 'Cole Palmer'. The username 'colepalmer10' popped up and she clicked on it, she looked through his posts, unknowingly smiling.
Michaela liked a few of his posts before following him. She clicked the 'message' button and sent him a text saying;
'no way it's cole palmer 🤯🤯🤯'
She got a notification saying 'colepalmer10 has followed you back'. Additionally, she got a message back from him.

Michaela smiled at his message, knowing she was never going to take the money back, no matter what. She sat up and grabbed the remote, turning the TV on. She searched through Netflix, trying to find a movie to watch.
She finds 'The Notebook' and clicks play, she's already watched the movie about five times but she's so in love with it that's got to rewatch it, yet again.
As the movie comes to an end, she sits there in tears. She takes a picture of the end of the movie and posts it on her Instagram with the caption, 'who wants to be the noah to my allie?'
A couple of minutes later she gets many comments and likes from fans and some footballers but one stuck out to her, 'i know who', Levi Colwill had commented on her post, as well as that he followed her. She liked his comment and followed him but she remained confused.
