Lilia then puts her phone down and gets ready to go and out

Mapi arrives and picks her up and they head around Barcelona, going to the beach, and around all the main places

(Mapi and Lilia are speaking Spanish (Lucy taught Lilia how to speak Spanish after she moved to Barcelona) but im putting it in English as I don't speak Spanish, sorry not sorry)

Mapi: So what was it like in England?
Lilia: It was home. Everyone I know is there. Everyone I love, my mum and Leah, and the girls.
Mapi: And could you see Barcelona as home too?
Lilia: Yeah. I can. I'm just... nervous and probably homesick.
Mapi: Yeah.
Lilia: Plus Lucy and Kei have been amazing and so have you. You gave me something to do with myself today.
Mapi: * chuckles* It's no problem.
Lilia: * smiles* I think we're gonna get on just fine, you and I.
Mapi: * smiles* Me too.
Lilia: Ok so... there were girls at the last match, my last match with Arsenal, that I haven't met yet. Of course I know of them but... one of them caught my eye. She's a midfielder, number 14?
Mapi: Ah, Aitana Bonmatí, yes she's a good friend. Very gorgeous and an amazing player.
Lilia: What's she like?
Mapi: Funny, smart, fast, one of our strongest players, including myself and Alexia.
Lilia: Ok.
Mapi: Why?
Lilia: Just... There's something about her. And we locked eyes. I felt something. I don't know what it was though.
Mapi: I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Lilia: Yeah.

They talk some more about what the teams like and do some more things before Mapi drops Lilia home

Lilia: Thanks Mapi. See you tomorrow?
Mapi: See you tomorrow.

Mapi leaves and Lilia goes inside

The minute Lilia is inside her flat/apartment she sits down and puts on the TV, turning on Netflix

The next day

Lilia is woken up by her phone ringing

It's Lucy

She answers it

Lilia: * groans* Hey Luce.
Lucy: Morning kid. It's time to wake up, training starts in an hour and twenty minutes. Get yourself sorted I'll come pick you up with Keira if you want?
Lilia: Nah it's alright. I should drive there myself, need to start getting used to it.
Lucy: Alright kiddo, well we'll still come with our car and drive in front of you so you can follow since it's your first day and all.
Lilia: Alright, text me or call again when you're outside and I'll come down.
Lucy: Alright then. See you in a bit.
Lilia: See you.

Lucy hangs up and Lilia gets ready, putting her Barcelona training kit and tying her hair up in a ponytail (she also does her ponytails like Leah's) after showering and having breakfast

Eventually Lucy texts and she heads outside, finding her new car, a grey silver BMW, she got that Lucy had picked up for her when she was moving (etc.) and Lucy and Keira waiting in their car

Lilia gets in the car and follows Lucy and Keira to the training grounds where they park and head inside

They go to the changing rooms and Lilia puts her boots on when she locks eyes with Aitana, again, who was already looking in her direction while chatting with one of the girls

Mapi is next to Lilia

Mapi: * smiles* She's trying to decide whether she likes you or not, incase you were wondering, it's a hard face to read on both of you.
Lilia: * chuckles* Thanks Maps. I'm glad you're next to me, I'm nervous, I know I shouldn't be but I am.
Mapi: You'll do great today, just show us all what you're about and I'm sure we'll be impressed ok?
Lilia: Yeah ok.

Keira walks over to them

Keira: You ready Williamson?
Lilia: More than ever Kei.
Keira: Let's go then. I'll show you to the pitch and show you round if you want?
Lilia: Oh, Kei you're a star. I'd love that thank you.
Keira: * smiles* No problem Lili. Come on.

Just as they're about to leave Aitana walks in front of them

(This conversation is in Spanish)

Aitana: Hey Kei, who's the new girl?
Keira: Tana this is Lilia. Leah Williamsons sister and a good friend of mine and Lucy's. Lil this is Aitana Bonmatí.
Lilia: * smiles* Nice to meet you.
Aitana: You too. Want me to show her round Kei?
Keira: I don't mind as long as it's ok with Lilia.
Lilia: Yeah it is.
Keira: Ok, well I'll be on the pitch if you need me ok?
Lilia: Ok Kei. Thanks again.

Keira leaves and Aitana shows Lilia around
