A popular high schooler has his eyes on a shy and nerdy girl in his class.
After few years they met again as a rising football star and a journalist.
Things between them were tense as they remembered their high school moments together.
She knew that...
"I got it" I screamed running downstairs to living room. "I knew you would" my mom replied while hugging me. "We gonna miss you little one" my dad said softly while looking at me with tears in his eyes.
I got the job i always wanted,the job i worked and studied so much for, even if that meant moving away to other country and away from my parents. I always wanted it so bad and now I finally got it,i got my job as journalist .It all happend unexpectedly and I have to leave already tomorrow.It all still feels like a dream. -------------------------------------------------------
I waved bye to everyone as I walked into my gate.
The moment plane departed the reality just hit me, I am all by myself now. In a new country with new people and language that I don't even speak fluently yet. The flight went by fast because my head was in clouds of thoughts about future that is awaiting me.
Welcome to Italy we are landing in few minutes please make sure to have your seatbelts on.
I arrived at my apartment and started unpacking, tomorrow is my first day of work, and my first match is going to be Juventus vs AC Milan. Honestly.I was really nervous since I didn't catch up with football a lot because of high school events that made me never watch football again, i never expected that my dream job of being journalist would end up of being football journalist so I wasn't updated of it for almost 4 years now.
I decided to take a walk and actually get familiar with places around my apartment since it wasn't too far from the city center. As I walked around I admired the pretty sighs of city until something caught my attention, i stopped walking as my eyes stayed locked to the big poster of a guy in Juventus's jersey that was on the building.I felt uneasy since he was looking a bit too familiar to someone from my past.I felt goosebumps forming and I decided to walk back to the apartment.
"I just wanted to clear my mind why I had to get reminded of him," I said loudly as I buried my head into the pillow and fell asleep.
It was the next day,the nervousness was even bigger as the time to leave for match was getting closer. I wore really nice outfit I always wanted to wear on work and did my makeup very naturally. As I picked my bag I checked myself in mirror and felt really confident for the first time.
"I can do it," I told myself and left the apartment.

Some boy from work came to pick me up,his name is Alex.He was really smart and handsome and the whole ride there was actually him explaining me how everything works and what I should do.
When we arrived at the stadium I met other members of team and they told me the schedule and explained to me that they will let me interview only one player since it was my first day.
I just nodded and went for final touch-ups before I did my pre-match interview with one of Juventus players.
It was time
I was rereading my speech and questions I am going to ask when I heard my colleague's voice saying he is here,as I turned around to greet him my eyes met the dark green eyes of a boy I saw on a poster yesterday. My heart started beating fast and I was lost in that moment,no way he reminded me of him that much.
"Hi I am Kenan Yildiz" he said as he extended his hand towards me for a handshake.
My breath stopped,my legs were shaking and my heart was about to burst. It's not someone who looks alike to him,it is him.
"Miss are you alright" he said with his charming voice that I hated so much.
"Sorry,hi i am y/n" I said as I shook his hand.
I noticed how his smile slowly dropped as he also realized who am I,his eyes became soulless. Alex came up to me and placed his hand on my shoulder,his face got closer to my ear and he whispered "you look amazing don't be nervous" and he looked at my face and left. I noticed how Kenan looked at him and he was clearly annoyed already.
"Let's finish this fast I need to get ready for the match" he said coldly.
In three,two,one ..we are LIVE
"Hello I am Y/N your new reporter and today I am here with Kenan Yildiz, a rising football star"
...
It finally ended, I couldn't deal with being near him anymore.I managed to stay really professional and my interview was amazing, I got a lot of compliments.
The match started and I was sitting in the VIP section.My eyes kept locking with his.I was wondering what happened to him after we broke up,how he ended up here, and how the hell he became even more handsome.The game was almost done and it still was 0 - 0 . The last minute was ticking.
KENAN YILDIZZZ GOAAAAAAAAAL 1-0
Every Juventus fan started cheering for him and celebrating, he did his celebration and then looked into my eyes,i was happy for him and i smiled.I felt his stare at me was warm comparing to one when we were doing interview.
I packed my things and got car keys as my coworkers need to stay longer and Alex was one of them too.They gave me a business car and made sure i was okay leaving alone.
I assured them that i was fine and left.
Parking lot was already empty,as i sat in the driver's seat all I was thinking of is what happened today,and what crazy coincidence it was 2nd October,same date as when we met for the first time,i wonder does he remembers it too. My thoughts were interrupted by knock on the window.
It was him.
He opened the passenger door and took a seat,without saying anything he just started kissing me.
It was wrong but it felt so right.I craved it more than ever,i craved him.I am sure he also felt same.His kiss was so warm and soft.
I backed away from kiss and looked into his eyes.
"It feels like the night we met,doesn't it." he said with a little smile on his face.
"You remember" i whispered while our faces are just inches away.
" I never forgot" he said while keeping eye contact.
The World stopped as the eye contact reminded both of us of that night, night of 2nd October 2022.
