The next morning, with a lack of homework done, you wake up very early, pushing aside your buzzing phone. Writing has never been a strength of yours, but working under pressure certainly has, so once you have your sources, the words flow out. After a couple cups of coffee and 6 quotes later, a decent paper has been completed. Even though it is due Friday, getting ahead has always been a strategy that has kept your grades on a competitive level, and no amount of boys will keep your from excelling at this school. You reward yourself by reading your text messages. Two from Rafinha and 1 from Neymar. Clicking on Neymar's first, the writing style amuses you.
"HEYOO. It's me your Prince Charming. Did u do the athletic training hw? I'm asking for a friend. Also when are we gonna hang out. See you in class :* "
Rafinhas are a good morning text and a reminder that he too will see you in class. Groaning, you take your time gathering your stuff for your training class. Walking slowly and even stopping for a drink at the water fountain you stop before you end up getting there late. You take your usual seat in the front, and set up your notebook in MLA format, ready for notes and absolutely no distractions. You really like your athletic training teacher, Mr. Bartra. He is very young to be a professor, but his knowledge is not to be underestimated. "Settle down everyone. Thank you Neymar. So today we are going to be discussing injuries and how to prevent them with an athlete. Since this is obviously a very broad topic I have narrowed down the top 10 most common athletic injuries and will be pairing you up, randomly, so stop trying to call out to your buddy, and you will be in charge of a PowerPoint project. Keep in mind that this still remains an arduous task so I suggest you befriend your new partner quickly. Mr. Bartra then read out the partners names. Rafinha and Sergi, Daisy and Oscar, (y/n) and Neymar... After he read that out you zoned out, trying to decide whether you should be happy or run out of the school immediately. Not only would Rafinha be uncomfortable, but Neymar was not exactly the most studious boy from what you could tell. There were other unmentionable reasons but those did not matter.. "We have half and hour left of class so sit next to your partner and I'll hand out the assignment" Mr. Bartra called out. You turned and saw a familiar smirk heading your way. "Study Buddy" he greets. You snort, "you better not leave me with the whole work load or I'll kill you" . "Violence is never the a answer (y/n), this is an injury prevention assignment remember?" He grins. "Very well said Neymar, now sit down before she forgets the no violence part" Mr. Bartra jokes. You reach into the cup and take out a piece of paper. Unfolding it you read out loud, "hamstring strain." "Aww man that's lame" says Neymar. "Just be glad you didn't get groin pull" Mr. Bartra replied, walking away. "THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS" Neymar exclaims. "Ok so, I think we should get together maybe today or tomorrow to start this," you interrupt. He shifts in his seat, runs his fingers through the blonde streaks in his hair, "let's do today after school." "Okay" you agree. After class, Rafinha and you walk to your favorite coffee shop. He informs you that he was the poor guy who got groin pull. "What am I gonna do for the demonstration part? Kick Sergi in the..?" "Stop," you laugh. "Obviously you need to just explain how you get it and then maybe act out how you might go about, um hurting yourself." You instruct. Rafinha sighs, swinging your hand with his. "I wish you were my partner." He pouts. "Me too," you reply resting your head on his shoulder. "So when are you and Ney gonna work together" he says nonchalantly. "Uh today I think" you say in the same cool tone. "Hmm okay." "Do you not trust me, rafi?" You ask quietly. He shakes his head, "of course, it's him I don't. He can be persuasive with girls, I've seen him make innocent girls turn into-" you stop him by kissing him softly. He responds eagerly. Stepping away you say, "I'm with you, not him okay? And I'm not like those other girls, I was the first to dump lemonade on him remember?" He laughs, "how could I forget." "Sorry for acting like a jealous idiot" he apologizes. "Forgiven" you smile. After all, with Neymars unexpected kisses it might be you who will need to be doing the apologizing. You sip your drink, doing your best to listen to Rafinha.
