Mias POV:
It was the day of the match and as usual, I woke up at 4am.
'Why do you always do this?' Laughed Jesse. Well, he was up too. They always got up early on game days to go to the gym.
'I dunno.' I Replied.
'I can't get back to sleep so there's no point forcing me.' I Said crossing my arms. He knew I'd won.
I got dressed, into something other then trackies and a hoodie, finally.

I put on leggings and my black nike windbreaker. I had a top on underneath but you couldn't really see it. I was travelling early down to the stadium before the game to see some rising stars. Jesse said he already knew some of them, because a lot of them were for Manchester United. There were also Tottenham players there so I was excited.
They were super nervous because after the game we were holding a ceremony for their friends and family to see if they had gotten into the professional, elite teams, meaning they would be playing with people like Dele, Jesse, Harry and Raheem.

I was going to do speeches, give them confidence, and at the end of the day, give the news. This was pressure. Because I didn't want to tell any of them that they hadn't made it.
'You'll be fine babe don't worry, I'll be there with you tonight.' He Smiled kissing me.
I smiled back. I was able to do this by myself. I could walk pretty much fully. I only had Harry helping me during the game just as a precaution. I met Gareth downstairs and we got on the tour bus.
'Who's coming?' I Asked sipping on my Starbucks. Basic, I know. And Gareth gave me a look to tell me just that.
'Stop judging, I'm tired.' I laughed.
It was half 5 and we had to be there by 7. So we were early.

As if on purpose the door opened and the boys accompanying me walked on.
'Hello lads.' Laughed harry.
'Gang signs.' I Replied throwing my hands in the air.

'Ok so, Harry, Rah, Kyle, Jordan, Kieran and your brother will arrive later.' Gareth Said, Reading from a list.
'Sweet.' I Replied.
The boys were going to leave about an hour before the game and I was to take the 'rising stars.' To the managers chairs.
There was about 20 of them so we sat them in the sub box. They had a good view and were out of the way from any paps.
There was also a group of 5 people who wanted to be coaches. I had three following me and Gareth had two. They were just basically going to get to watch what we do and get tips along the way.

I was reading through the Instagram comments on these peoples posts and they were talented.
'You've got some good ones G.' I Said pointing to one of their Instagram accounts.
'I know, they're strong, I just hope they all get what they deserve.' He Replied. I nodded.
It was all boys coming for the footballers post today but surprisingly three out of five of the following coaches were girls. I was so excited to share my power with these girls. We needed more female coaches and I was ready to make that.

Gareth passed me his lineup and these are the teams I was going to be representing.

6 boys from Manchester United
6 from Tottenham
2 boys from Manchester City
3 from Arsenal
1 from Liverpool
And 2 from Chelsea

This meant I was going to be meeting players from other teams since they were coming to support their rising stars. Just like us. I was pretty confident, I mean I got to meet Kyles teammates and I already knew the guys from Tottenham and Manchester United. I had known Paul Pogba for ages. I just hadn't seen him in ages.

I arrived and the doors opened. We got off the bus and walked up into the meeting room at the top of the stadium. It overlooked the pitch, and right now it is empty. But later it will be filled with either fans chanting, or cursing my name. It was 50/50 and right now it could go either way.
I was interrupted by the room filling with budding football stars. And I was here to help them find their way. That was difficult when right now I wasn't sure of my own.
