The Football Academy: A Brooklyn Beckham Fanfic

26

Brooklyn

"What a tiring day" Toby sighed as we unpacked our stuff.

"Yeah, but it's been a good one" I replied.

"Sure has" Toby agreed, "But hey what's going on with you and Emily?"

"I'm not sure" I replied, "I just kind of feel that we are becoming more friends than potential

boyfriend/girlfriend."

"Yeah I noticed that…. Although I know that Emily still really likes you."

"What makes you say that?"

"Isn't it obvious Brooklyn?"

"Maybe I'm oblivious to it then Toby, do explain"

"It's the way she talks so highly of you and just the way she looks at you is adorable."

Our conversation was interrupted suddenly by Mr Johnson who came bounding through the door. For a fifty year old teacher, he had a crazy amount of energy.

"Woah boys!? How much Lynx do you need to wear? Seriously it reeks in here!" He said followed by an exaggerated coughing fit before bursting into laughter. "Anyway, all you boys need to be down in the main lobby in ten minutes if we are going to get to the restaurant in time."

Toby, Callum and I finished getting ready before locking our room and making our way to the lobby downstairs. We met with Emily and Lilly who both looked great: Emily especially. She was wearing her hair down but it was curled into ringlets that fell against her face. I noticed that she was suddenly a whole lot taller and then realised the wedged sandals she was wearing. The shoes complimented her black dress perfectly and she looked gorgeous.

"Are we all ready?" Mr Johnson bellowed.

Everybody nodded and then followed him out to where our team minibus was. I helped Emily up into the bus before sitting down next to her and Callum at the back of the bus with Lilly and Toby sat in front.

The drive to the restaurant only took about fifteen minutes and as soon as we arrived, Mr Johnson ushered us to our table inside. We spent little more than an hour and a half at the restaurant in total. After enjoying the food, Mr Johnson made a toast to the team hopefully reaching the world cup finals which was followed by a big cheer from the team that earned us a few strange looks from the other diners.

On the journey home, Emily and I sat together in the places Lilly and Toby had occupied on the way there.  I noticed Emily yawn and slipped my hand round her waist and pulled her towards me so that her head rested on my shoulder. She looked up at me and I kissed her forehead gently. Within minutes, she was fast asleep.
