In the middle (Jesse Lingard/ Marcus Rashford fanfic)

Chapter 3

Amanda's outfit ^^
14 June 2018
Amanda's POV-
I woke up by a banging on my door, I sat up directly I was so confused and scared. I checked the time on my phone that was on my nightstands, it said 7:49 AM.
I got up out of bed and walked over to the door, after opening the door, I saw both Stina and Pontus.
"It's so early what are you guys doing here?" I asked jumping on to the couch.
"We're hungry, we all need breakfast so get your ass up and go get dressed" Stina said
"I am dressed" I said looking down at my pyjamas.
"Are you sure you want to be seen in that sweetie" Pontus asked
"Well not anymore" I said going into my room.
After using the bathroom and exiting, I put on a black sunflower dress and I put my hair in a pony tail. I wasn't bothered to put on makeup so I just put on sandals and walked out to Stina and Pontus.
"Let's go" I said
"Ooh you be looking cute, looking cute for anyone special" Pontus asked
"No I'm not" I said
"But I do have something to tell you guys" I said as I sat down next to them
"What is it? Is everything okay?" stina asked
"Well last night I was up at the pool, then I was just sitting and Jesse comes from nowhere and the we sit and talk for a bit and then it looked like he was leaning in for a kiss and ya girl panicked and told him I had to leave" after telling them I was waiting for their reactions
"WHAT?" Pontus yelled
"Why didn't you tell us last night?" Stina asked
"I don't know I was processing it all I guess"
"So now we know Jesse's definitely got the hots for you" Pontus said
"It doesn't matter cuz I'm gonna avoid him at all costs" I said getting up
"We're gonna all pretend like none of this happened" I said to them, they both just stared at me and I knew that wasn't gonna happen.
"Now lets go get some breakfast" I said as I walked towards the door.
I could sense that both Pontus and Stina were confused but they followed me down to the dining hall.
We all grabbed our food and sat down at a table in the corner. Thankfully the English team weren't here yet, If we'd hurry I think we'd avoid seeing them at all.
"Can you guys like eat faster, I want to avoid seeing Jesse" I said
I guess I spoke too soon cuz moments later the English NT started piling into the dining hall.
I just kept my eyes on my food and tried to not look at them, but Stina and Pontus couldn't look away from them.

Jesses POV-
Still couldn't get over the fact that Amanda rejected me, we had a good conversation and I thought it was going well. I guess I thought wrong.
I stared doubting myself, I guess she just wasn't into me.
Me and some of the guys went down to the dinning hall to eat breakfast.
We all sat down around the table to eat, I was just so In my head and I snapped out when Harry said "why are those three staring at us?"
All our heads snapped up to look at Amanda, some guy and a girl, when we all looked at then they looked away from us.
"That's Amanda" Dele said
"How do you know Amanda" I asked confused
"Talked to her yesterday in the lobby" he said and we all just nodded
"Wait how do you know her?" Harry asked me
"I hung out with her last night, but she's not interested" I told them
"She said she's not interested?" Sterling asked me
"Not really but I tried to kiss her and she more or less ran away" I said
"Ooh rough" Jones said to me and gave me a pat on the back
"She's got a man, no wonder she ain't interested" Dele said
"How do you know all this?" I asked Dele
"When me and Marcus we're talking to her yesterday morning, then that guy she's sitting with now, came out of nowhere and said she had forgotten her room key then she asked him to follow her up and they were holding hands and acting all lovey dovey with each other" Dele informed us
I looked over to her table and she was sitting really close to that guy, that cleared stuff up.
"So it's not you mate, she's just faithful" Jones said
"You're making it sound like being faithful is something bad" Harry said
"Depends on how you see it" sterling's joked
Soon the guys started bickering about something but I couldn't help look over to Amanda. She was talking and laughing with her boyfriend and friend, she just looked so mesmerising, her smile was so beautiful. Her smile just lights up the whole room and it's so contagious. Looking at her smile brought a smile to my face, I didn't want the guys to say anything so I looked down to my food. But I guess someone did notice cuz sterling said "damn this girl has you whipped, got you smiling to yourself and all" as he patted me on the chest. "Shut up" I said and as I pushed his hands off "this girl got you wrapped around her finger" Dele said and the guy started mocking me.

Amanda's POV—
After we finished eating breakfast we got up to leave by this time the whole English team was there. I tried my best to avoid eye contact with Jesse he seems like a great guy I wouldn't want to end up falling for him and then getting my feelings hurt. I got a couple of smiles from Marcus though, he's so handsome and he seems like a real sweetheart. I just shook my head to try to get rid of these thoughts, I wasn't gonna see either of them after the World Cup.
Most of the day me, Stina and Pontus were in my room just watching tv. Time flew by and it was already 14:30, we were going to the opening match today and we all needed to get ready for the match and we wanted to grab some food before the match.
I wasn't bothered to do an all glam makeup look, all I did was lightly fill in my brows. I put on a light blue blouse with red lady bugs on it, I then put on denim skinny jeans and tucked the blouse in my shirt. I put on my shoes and I started to put my hotel keycard, wallet, ticket, note book, pens and a power bank into my mini backpack. I wasn't doing any interviews after the match today I was just going to write an article on the opening ceremony and match.
I went down to the lobby where I was going to wait for Pontus and Stina. I sat down on a couch in the hotel lobby I was just on my phone when I felt someone sitting down next to me.
