Ysela thought Harry might be the prettiest person she had ever seen.

First of all, he was cute. Like, the kind of cute that made her want to adopt a dog with him. He truly looked like a man named Harry Winks. It was the eyes, smile, and freckles. Freckles do look awfully perfect on him—they really emphasize just how pretty the boy was. Not only that, but his personality was pretty, too. It wasn't forced or faked or done for reputation, he really was a nice person. He was humble and considerate, thinking of others before himself—even in the game of football. He looks like his kink is having people who genuinely care about him. They don't have guys like this in America.

It was now well into August, and she caught on quickly to what Harry was doing: faking an injury just to see her. She didn't see anything wrong with it, he was still technically not allowed to train with the team, so she let it slide every time. And every time he came and presented her with a new "injury," she always acted like she wasn't surprised, she didn't want to discourage him from coming any more because she actually did really enjoy his presence.

Does Ysela like Harry?

Well, she sure does make the effort to flirt with him when he tries to. She also doesn't rat him off to Pochettino for wasting time (she tells him he's doing rehab for his ankle), and she lets him stay longer than he needs to. Sometimes he forgets to sign in on the sheet, but she does it for him.

Ysela is stuck between past experiences and her own self. There have been instances where she thought she had feelings for a special someone, but two weeks later, it wasn't the same. It was a stupid little crush in high school and college. She keeps thinking that every single little thing is a sign. Smiles. Visiting more than necessary. Laughing. Hugs. Flirting. Does she like him, or is he being nice?

It's like her high school crush on her AP chemistry lab partner, Mitchell. It was seven full weeks of her texting her friends everyday do I like him? Is he just being nice? And yeah, they dated for a while, which is a whole other story to be talked about at another time, but Ysela still thinks about it—was he just being nice? Is Harry just being nice with her?

Harry
Dele stepped on it yesterday

"How do you think of Harry, new trainer?" Dele asked her, walking from behind as she watched the players get ready on the pitch in Enfield, slipping her phone back into her pocket. She was watching Harry laugh and be an idiot with Eric and Sonny off to the side, she just wanted to make sure he wasn't just to do anything stupid with the ball.

What do I think of Harry Winks? I think he's cute. Y'know, the frecks, the stupid smile, the eyebrows are pretty hot, too. Did I mention that he is the sweetest baby angel ever? Well, let me tell you again—Harry Winks is the sweetest baby angel ever. How is he so nice and good looking? We don't have that in America. American boys all the look the same: ugly with an ugly personality. Wow. I am so soft for this man.
