Ferran🤦‍♀️:
We should throw a party!

Camila🤪🖕:
I'm down!

Ferran🤦‍♀️:
I knew you would be!

Fermin🥸:
You only want to throw a party because you want Camila's college friend Abby to come.

Ferran🤦‍♀️:
Fermin, you don't know what you're talking about.

Camila🤪🖕:
Honestly, Ferran, Abby likes you!

Ferran🤦‍♀️:
She does?!

Pedri🇮🇨🥵:
Wait, who's Justin?

Uh, just... someone from college.

A friend? Sounds like more than that.

Exactly! Let's just have fun!

I was in Italy, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere as I wandered through the charming streets, the aroma of fresh pasta and baked goods wafting through the air. The sun was starting to set, casting a warm golden hue over everything, and I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness about my game tomorrow.

I decided to call Pedri to let him know I was here. 

**Calling amor❤️😍** 

"Yess, Camila?" he answered, but his voice was colder than I expected. 

"Amor, I umm just wanted to let you know I'm here," I said, trying to sound cheerful. 

"Oh, okay, amor. Well, be safe," he replied, his tone still distant. Before I could respond, he hung up. 

I stared at my phone, feeling a knot tighten in my stomach. What was up with him? I brushed it off, reminding myself that he might just be busy or preoccupied with something. 

Shaking off my worries, I continued exploring. I was on a mission to find the perfect gift for him—a matching bracelet to symbolize our bond. I wandered into a quaint little shop filled with handcrafted jewelry. The walls were adorned with colorful beads and delicate silver pieces, each one telling a story. 

As I picked up a bracelet with intricate designs, I imagined how Pedri would react. Would he like it? Would it mean something to him? I could already picture us wearing them together, a secret sign of our relationship that no one else knew about. 

I couldn't help but smile at the thought, but I also felt a pang of anxiety. I didn't want to ruin what we had by bringing up my past with Justin, especially now that things seemed a bit off with Pedri. 

After selecting a beautiful bracelet that I hoped would be perfect, I stepped outside, the cool evening air refreshing against my skin. I took a deep breath, reminding myself that I'd figure things out with Pedri. Tonight, I would enjoy Italy and focus on the game ahead. 

As I strolled through the cobblestone streets, I felt a mix of anticipation and apprehension. I was determined to make this work, no matter what it took.
