June's POV

I'm at the Manchester United practise before the game today against Barcelona. I know that Lucho is disappointed to see me travelling with Man U instead of Barcelona, but I don't really care.

I'm currently standing with Luke as he takes a quick water break. David walks over to join and is trailed by Adnan and Morgan.

"There's the second best female goalie in the world!" Dave gushes.

"Awwww, thanks Dave!"

"The world champ!" Morgan grins.

"Merci beaucoup, Morgan," I grin walking over to the Frenchman. I quickly hug him and Adnan. Adnan slings his arm around me and kisses my cheek.

"Just watching?" Adnan asks

"Yeah. I might join in later."

"Just relax. You played in the World Cup," he grins, "and participated in our gruelling training in Dubai."

"June, would you be able to do an interview?" Louis walks over.

"Yeah of course," I nod.

"Great. They are over there."

"Thanks. And you guys! Stop standing around and go practise!" I tease Luke, Adnan, Dave, and Morgan.

"I couldn't have said it better myself," Louis chuckles before turning to my friends, "You heard the World Champ, go practise!"

I grin walking away to where I see the interviewers. I walk over to them smiling. The sound crew sets me up and helps me get the mic pack on. We're standing with the pitch behind us.

"I'm Jonathon Not here with US Women's National team and Women's FCB goalie June Santos. June, are you enjoying the US preseason tour?"

"I'm loving it! I'm having a lot of fun. It's the first year I haven't been with the guys so it's great to be back with- AH!" I'm cut off as I'm crashed into and nearly fall over. I immediately recognise the arms and weight as Luke. There's another person that crashes into us. "God guys! You're heavy," I laugh.

"And you're rude," Morgan fires back, his slight French accent immediately recognisable.

"So you're just as close to the team as ever, I see," Jonathon laughs gesturing to the two goofs hugging me.

"Yeah for sure. Luke's my best friend, and I've met Morgan a few times back when I went and saw Luke playing for Southampton. I'm already of course, close to most of the people here," I say as the guys wrap their arms around me. I lean my head against Luke, and he kisses the top of my head.

"We love June. Everyone here loves June! She's great company and obviously a fantastic player," Morgan says smiling.

"Aw, Morgan," I grin.

"Are you happier to see your brother back in Manchester red?"

"Of course. I was shocked because I signed to Barcelona, and now my brother plays for Real Madrid? Talk about a house divided, but at the end of the day, I just want him to be happy."

"Very sweet of you to say especially since a lot of people said you were unhappy with his move. So after the World Cup you joined Luke and Adnan in Dubai. How was that?"

"It was great. I got to train with them a bit. We also relaxed a bit-"

"Dubai was awesome. We had a lot of fun even if June was only there for a little while before we went back to England and then came here," Luke adds.

"You're both hijacking my interview. Shhh!" I fake complain.

"They're quite the characters. Are you at all worried about going into the upcoming season tired after the World Cup and now voluntarily ICC?" Jonathon asks.
