[INSTAGRAM DMs BETWEEN LENNOX AND K.MBAPPE]

K.MBAPPE
Hey, I'm Kylian and I'm a big fan of all the ballerina things you do
....
That was a bad start, oui? I should've gone with something else

LENNOX
No! It was perfect
Thank you, Kylian
I'm a big fan of all the football things you do!

K.MBAPPE
Merci, merci!
Are you going to be in Russia to watch any of the matches?

LENNOX
Actually, yes!
My friend Jesse who plays for England was able to get my friends and I a few tickets to the games

K.MBAPPE
So are you exclusively an English fan?

LENNOX
Actually, I'm half French so...
Allez les bleus!
Don't tell any of the English boys I said that
They'd have my head on a chopping block

K.MBAPPE
No
Your head is too pretty for a chopping block

LENNOX
well thank you ☺️
and I'll be sure to catch at least one or two French matches this tournament

K.MBAPPE
C'est bon!

LENNOX
Oh and idk how true this is but someone in my friend group mentioned that you were only 19! Is that true?

K.MBAPPE
Oui

LENNOX
I'm 20 years old and I can't believe you're so young and you've done so much already and now the World Cup!
You must be the youngest this year

K.MBAPPE
One of them, oui
So
One of my teammates is hosting a party in the penthouse of the hotel we're staying in for the tournament
And I'd really like it if you could be there

LENNOX
I'm not quite sure what my mates on the English team would think about that

K.MBAPPE
Well actually Paul (Pogba) invited some of them
Jesse Lingard is his teammate, right?

LENNOX
yes he is!
And if that's the case, then I'm in!
Here's my number, text me the details

K.MBAPPE
Will do!

LENNOX
Oh and Kylian?

K.MBAPPE
Oui?

LENNOX
Good luck in the rest of the tournament ☺️

K.MBAPPE
With you rooting for France, i don't need luck on my side
