Claudia was sliding down the helter-skelter when she saw a group of girls walking towards her.
-Hey!- one of the girls screamed. Claudia looked around but she didn't see anyone else on the playground- I'm talking to you ribbon girl!
The redheaded leader of the clique smirked and the rest of her friends sniggered. The little girl started getting more and more nervous when the group approached her.
-Why aren't you answering, huh?- Redhead's friend asked but Claudia was too scared to answer. The girls looked like they were at least 4 years older than she was.
-Are you deaf?
-N-no I'm not- the little girl answered quietly
-So why aren't you answering? We're not good enough for the ribbon girl?- the Redhead asked with a more irritated voice now. She nodded her head as one of her friends walked to Claudia and pulled her brown hair. Another one at the same time threw sand at her.
-Get out! Now before I'll give you a lesson about bulling!- everyone turned around and saw Basti walking towards them. That one kid everyone loved, that one kid everyone wanted to be and that one kid everyone respected.
-Damn it!- the leader hissed- Come on guys let's go- she shouted and walked away. Shortly all her friends followed her.
Claudia shyly looked up and saw Bastian standing next to her. When their eyes met the boy with straw hair smiled wildly at her.
-Hey there's no reason to cry- he said as he wiped a tear from her cheek- Heidi was just jealous of you.
-It's all because of that stupid ribbon- Claudia replied and started taking the ribbon of but suddenly Basti's hands stopped her.
-I think the ribbon is great. You shouldn't take it off. I'm Basti by the way.
-I know who you are. I'm Claudia- a weak smile appeared on her face.
-I know who you are too ribbon girl- he grinned.
Maybe that ribbon isn't that stupid after all, Claudia thought to herself when Basti helped her stand up.

Bastian's POV
-I'm literally exhausted. I'd die for a beer now- Thomas moaned after Pep announced the end of today's training.
-Don't want to worry you my dear friend but the closest opportunity to drink a beer will be on Oktoberfest- I replied as I took my shirt off.
- Last season kicked my ass so hard. To boot Leo's decided that sleeping is so old-fashioned. I need more free days- Toni said and dried his face with a towel.
I couldn't disagree with him. Last season was great. We managed to win the triple again and don't get me wrong we couldn't be any happier but everyone seems to be exhausted as hell since then. I craved playing football but at the same time 2 extra weeks of holidays were my biggest dream. I didn't really have much rest during my vacation. Who would've thought that planning a wedding can be so tiring? On the other hand I shouldn't probably whine. After all Sarah's shouldered the majority of the planning burden.
-I'm not surprised Leo's getting grumpy. Like father like son right?- I smirked at him.
-Ha ha ha, you're getting more hilarious with every single day Basti- Toni replied and hit me with his towel- Seriously after you finish your football career you should think about becoming a humorist.
-You could have your own show. Basti-Fantasti and his wit that is feisty! I'd become your agent and Toni would be your PA. You'd be the new Oprah!
-Yeah I surely would be but now let's focus on coming back home and sleeping the training the hell out- I took my things and headed to the locker.
-Bastian don't be so quick! Where are you going?- I heard our press secratary's assistant's voice. I turned around and saw Heidi walking fast towards me.
-Good to see you Heidi. How's your holiday? Mine were great thanks for asking.
-Kill the sarcasm Tiger. You forgot about the making the video for the vlog?
- Vlog?- Thomas got ahead my question when he approached us.
-Video blog- Heidi shook her head. I could see she was getting slightly annoyed.
-I know what a vlog is, I don't live under a rock.
-He simply acts like a caveman- I winked- Why on earth Gould we make a vlog?
-Didn't Pep tell you about Edith's idea? Christ these Spanish people are so forgettable. I swear one day they're all are going to forget about this club and start a new live on Bali- she said when we both shook are heads.
-And coming back to the point...- I said urgently. I felt like a walking dead and this conversation was making me even more exhausted. That was the thing about Heidi. She was a nice, hard-working person but she was also tiring as hell.
-Edith thinks that the club should socialize more with the fans and as vlogs are incredibly popular nowadays she figured out we should start making our very own FCBM vlogs.
-Maybe we should also make FCBM cooking show? Let's leave vlogging to people like Tyler Oakley and Joe Sugg- I looked questioningly at Thomas as I had no idea what who he was talking about.
-It's not only about making vlogs. We're going to create a special website where we're going to upload the videos and using it will cost 3 Euros per month. The money will be given to the flood's victims.
-Well in that makes this idea slightly better.
-I'm glad you thinks so Bastian. Not that your negative opinion would change something but still good to know you can appreciate a good idea. Okay come on lads we have a video to make!
-Now? Look at us we're sweaty, smelly and tired.
-I can see that and believe me I can definitely smell that Bastian but it will make the video better. Come on Victoria is waiting for us.
-Whose Victoria?- Thomas asked as we were leaving the pitch.
-Victoria Schmidt, the journalist that is going to help us with all these blogs. She's writing for Bild so we figured she's the right person. She'll make interviews with you, go on your matches, go on celebration parties and she'll record it all.
-So she's basically going to stalk us. Lovely I always like when girls stalk me- Thomas said and Heidi giggled.
-Easy Muller, you're married man.
-Don't be so judgy Basti, you'll become a married man soon and you'll realize there's nothing wrong with girls stalking you then.
-Yeah right. Heidi can you give us at least 10 minutes to take a shower. I really don't like interviews when I'm like this.
-What he means is that he has to get his smolder on- Thomas nudged me.
-We don't have time for things like that- Heidi answered before opening the interview's room's door- Hi Victoria. I'm sorry you have to wait so long.
When the interviewer turned around my jaw immediately dropped. I looked at her long, chestnut hair and hazel eyes. That couldn't be her, it's not possible.
-C-Claudia?
