It will make you no harm.

Munich was...interesting. Catalina and Joachim had landed there two days ago, with the Bayern Munchen's players. It had been a silence flight. The results hadn't been the expected and Catalina felt a little responsible of that, although she didn't care about it. The new house was big but cold. At least she felt it that way. 

She decided to redecorate the room that was for her. She wanted to make it hers, to build her little kingdom in that unknown and cold country. So she started paiting a tree from the bottom of the wall whose branches reached the roof. Then, she continued drawing white and light-blue birds, among the thousand green leaves. She stuck a lot of photos everywhere, some with her friends and her relatives, some with places of Argentina, some of her favourite players, and in the middle of them one with her mother. Alonely tear came out of her eyes. She suddenly stud up when the door opened. 

'Is everything ok?' Joachim showed himself in the room. 'You haven't gone out... wow' he opened his mouth as he saw the wall. 'What is this?' He asked.

Catalina shrugged. 

'I didn't know you have talent for this' He said 'it's so beautiful'

'Thanks' she answered half-smiling. 

'I have tickets for Munich's match today, would you like to come with me? I know you like football.' he invited her.

Catalina accepted. Being there alone would make her feel depressed, the weather was nice and he was right about football, so why not? 

***

Bayern won the game, as usual. She enjoyed it, but it wasn't like in her country at all. The were sitting next to Bastian, who was injured. She heard both men talking, but she couldn't understand any single word. 

'Hey Cata, I'm going to say hi to the players, would you like to come?' Bastian asked her, surprising her. 

'I don't think is a good idea...'

'C'mon girl! Make some friends, connect yourself with this new life'

What? Catalina thought God, why is he acting like I were his niece?

Basti grabbed her arm, taking her to the changing room. He turned around at winked at Joachim. 

They walked through halls in red and blue.

'Ohh nono, don't you dare to think I'm gonna enter there.'

'Of course you're not, you wait here until we come out, then I'll take you home' 

What the fuck is going on here?  She didn't even know that guy and... what?

She was going to say something, but the German enter in the room. After a few minutes, another well-known German shouted to her. 

'Chicken! How are you doing?' Mario Gotze was in front of her, very well-dressed.

'Hey you!' Catalina said. She didn't know why, but in some place of her mind, she knew she was a little bit happy to see him again. 

'Look, I don't have so much time, but I'd like to invite you to sightsee the city' Mario told her quickly.

Catalina was surprised. 'Why would you like to? Don't you have a girlfriend?'

'If for girlfriend you mean Reus, then yes, I have one' She chuckled, and Catalina laughed 'I think you really need a friend and I really need someone to bother, and with you that's something very easy'

The idea didn't fit to much in her mind, but Gotze had persuaded her. 

In that moment, the players started to get out of the room. One by one they greeted her. She just smiled. 

'See you tomorrow chicken!' Gotze waved goodbye to her. 

'Well, let's go home Cata' Bastian said.

In the car, there were an uncomfortable silence that Catalina didn't dare to break. After a while, the midfielder talked.

'So... I believe you're probably asking wtf to yourself, am I wrong?'

'No, explain me what is going on because I'm getting worried'

'It's ok... Just let say that your father has had a few problems and he had to solve them, and that right now at this moment, I'm like your nanny, but without long hair and painted nails...well, maybe I could do that' he finished with a chin on his face. 

Catalina chuckled. 'You're my what? I can't believe this! Why didn't he hire a real nanny?'

'Because... he trusts me and I don't have anything to do since I got injured' he looked at her 'And... he knew I would make you laugh'

She kept serious now. Fuck, I'm doing it again. 

'It's ok you do it, girl. ' He started like he were reading her thinking 'Keep on laughing, it will make you no harm' 

Damn it, he's right. 

He left her in her house, safe and sound as her father had requested.

'How was the time with Bastian?' He asked her while they were having dinner

'Good, I think. Um... What kind of problems do you have to solve?' The question came from nowhere.

'Nothing' Joachim answered, surprised 'Some things about the team, don't worry'

He didn't sound very convinced and Catalina could note that, but she chose to stop the conversation there. 

Before going to bed, she took a look to the pictures in her painted tree. That night she would dream with her mum, her childhood and her beloved country. 

Hello! Well, I don't believe this is good enough, but I hope you like it. As usual, please feel free to tell me what you think, it's very helpfull! :D
