I woke up feeling the familiar mix of nerves and excitement. Today was the day I would find out if I got the green light to return to practice. I quickly got dressed, fixing my hair just the way I liked it. After a final glance in the mirror, I headed to fill up my water bottle. The boys had already left for their early practice, leaving the house quiet.
I walked to my car, the weight of anticipation heavy in the air. As I drove, I tried to focus on the upcoming tests, hoping for good news.
"Good morning!" I greeted the staff as I entered the training facility, feeling the buzz of activity around me. They smiled back, and I made my way to the medical room, where they would run a bunch of tests to see if I was ready.
After what felt like an eternity, the doctor looked at me with concern. "Camila, I'm sorry, but you won't be back for El Clásico."
"Great," I muttered, frustration bubbling inside me as I walked out. I headed toward the locker room when my phone rang. It was my dad.
"Yes?" I answered, trying to sound upbeat.
"Are you coming over for Sofia's game?" he asked.
"Sure, Dad. I have nothing better to do," I replied, my tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Camila, what's wrong?" he pressed, his voice a mix of concern and confusion.
"Like you care, Dad. I'm not Sofia," I shot back, the hurt evident in my voice.
"I may be a bad dad sometimes, but I do care," he said, and for a moment, I felt a flicker of warmth.
"I didn't get the green light to go back to playing," I admitted, the disappointment weighing heavily on me.
"Oh, Camila... Well, I'll get you a ticket. Bye," he said quickly, trying to lighten the mood.
"Bye," I replied, hanging up, feeling more alone than ever.
Could anything get worse? Since getting back, I hadn't really talked to Pedri after that kiss. We had admitted our feelings for each other, but now it felt like a chasm had opened between us. I also felt distant from my friends, like I was losing them.
Determined to shake off the negativity, I walked over to watch the girls practice. As I stood on the sidelines, I noticed how the atmosphere was different. It felt like the girls didn't even care I was there; they were all focused on Maria, who was already fitting in seamlessly.
I felt a pang of jealousy mixed with sadness. It was hard to watch them laugh and bond, while I stood there on the outside looking in. I missed the camaraderie I once had with my friends, and it felt like everything was slipping away just when I was trying to find my place again.
Pedri POV
The boys😂
Ferran🦈:
Has anyone else felt like Camila doesn't want to be with us? She's always with Noah now. It's like we're not even on her radar.
Fermin🐷:
Yeah, does anyone know if she got the green light to practice again? I haven't heard anything.
Angry Hermano🤬:
I can ask Maria. She might know what's up.
Fermin🐷:
No, we shouldn't pry. Let her tell us when she's ready. We don't want to put her in a position where she feels pressured.
Pablo 💩:
I'm really worried about her. It's like she's shutting us out completely. I remember when she used to be the life of the group. Now it feels quiet without her.
Joao 😫:
I feel the same way. She doesn't talk anymore, and when she does, it's like she's not really there. It's hard to watch someone you care about go through this.
Ale🍺:
Guys, she's just recovering from that accident. We have to let her be. We can't force her to talk if she isn't ready.
Ansu🤷♀️:
Ale is right. Everyone heals differently. Maybe she just needs time to process everything that happened.
Jude 💬:
I'm going to try to come and see her. Maybe that will help. A familiar face might make her feel more comfortable.
Pedri👥:
I'm trying to talk to her too. I want to be there for her, but it feels like we're drifting apart. It's frustrating because I know how strong she is. I just wish she would let us in.
Ferran 🦈:
Do you think she's feeling isolated? Maybe she thinks we don't understand what she's going through.
Fermin🐷:
That's possible. Maybe she thinks we can't relate because we haven't been through something like this. But we need to show her that we're here for her no matter what.
