The Football Academy: A Brooklyn Beckham Fanfic

11

Brooklyn

I'd never really enjoyed trial day. Pretty much every current student at the academy hated them too. It would be hard to compare them to anything because I don't really know anything that could possibly be more boring. I guess it was like sitting through that 'welcome back to a new year at school' assembly that the school gives us every year: the same teachers saying the same things year after year. But this year, I was actually looking forward to trail day.

As current members of the student body, all of the pupils are allowed the day off timetable to come and watch the 'new recruits' as Mr Johnson calls them. I was looking forward to what i would have normally have considered a waste of my time because I knew how much it meant to Emily. She had worked really hard to earn the scholarship and I knew that she was going to ace trials today: she definitely had the talent and ability to anyway.

Toby arrived around eight thirty that morning and together we set off for trials. 

I guess Emily must have told Toby about her and me hanging out yesterday. He mentioned it to me but seemed pretty angry about it. 

"So you were with Emily yesterday?" he questioned, a touch of anger lingered in his voice.

"Yeah, we just did some football practise, I taught her a few tricks that would impress Mr Johnson and his team today."

"Yeah i heard. Anyway, she seems to really like you Brooklyn. Just don't go messing her about or Im afraid I might have to kill you - she is my best friend you know." He gave me a wink and a wide grin.

I was about to ask if he was okay with me kissing her and whether she had mentioned it, but i decided against it. Somehow I got the feeling that he wouldn't want Emily and I to be together. I think he thought that I would hurt her somehow. Not that I would ever even think of doing that. I knew that, as much of a cliche as it was. there was something between us: Something that i wouldn't want to lose anytime soon.

Hey, really sorry for not posting yesterday - My wattpad wouldn't allow me to access my account. Also, I was told by a friend that there are two versions of part nine in my story. I tried to find out why that happened but on my version of the story, none of the parts are repeated or uploaded twice. Not sure why this is so if anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know.

Hope you're enjoying the story so far! ~ Emma
