[Sunday.]
'Do I have to come?'
'Yes. End of it.' Alexander look at Perrie and she immediately understood she had to stop arguing.
She huffed and puffed getting herself upstairs to get ready.
She got changed into a light blue dress which showed her legs, put her hair up in a bun and put on a light layer of make-up. As she still had a while before they had to leave, Perrie sat on her bed listening to music.

Christian
<<Are you still coming to the match? xx>>
Perrie
<<Yes, getting ready now x>>
Christian
<<I'm here with my dad already x If you're free you can come over now and we can go for a walk :) xx>>
Perrie
<<Sounds good :) Be there in ten x>>

Perrie walked downstairs singing. She put on her shoes and opened the front door after grabbing her handbag.
'Dad, I'm going out.'
'Whoa, not so fast young lady.'
Perrie rolled her eyes and closed back the door behind her.
'What?'
'Where do you think you're going? I thought you were coming with us to watch Caitlin.'
'I am. I'm going for a walk with... with a friend. I'll see you there.'
'Who's this friend you're going out with?'
'A friend, jeez.'
'Don't use that tone with me, Perrie.'
'It's Christian Chamberlain, that boy who teaches Caitlin.'
Alexander opened his mouth but Perrie immediately interrupted him. 'We're just friends, he's at the pitch and his dad is gonna be there too, so there's nothing to worry about.'
Alexander smiled. 'Calm down. I was about to tell you that it's fine if you're with him. He's a good lad. Even better if Coach Mark's there.'
'Right, can I go now then?'
'If you get changed first, then yeah, of course.'
'What are you on about?!' Perrie annoyingly let out looking at her dress.
'That dress, it's too short.'
'Dad is the beginning of July! It's hot, c'mon!'
'It's too short. Get changed or there's no way you can go see that boy.'
'His dad's gonna be there! What do you think it could happen?'
'It's not about what he could do, it's about the image you give him of yourself. Get changed please.'
'If I don't get changed, does that mean I can't go to the stupid match?'
'Nice try. Now go and get changed, we're all leaving in fifteen minutes.'

Perrie
<<Sorry, change of plans. My dad's being annoying AF! I won't make it in time :( see you later x>>

Perrie arrived at the pitch with her family. Her dad and Jane went to sit with the other parents on the stands, whilst Perrie decided to lay on a beach towel on the grass, a bit further away.
Christian immediately spotted her and timidly waved at her. She smiled and waved back before the children started their warm up.
Although she promised Caitlin to watch the match, Perrie was still annoyed at her dad, so she just sat there on her phone, without paying much attention to the game. About twenty minutes in, a voice interrupted her peace an quiet.
'Can I sit here with you?'
Perrie jumped and turned around to see who's voice was that.
'Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.' The boy laughed and sat down on Perrie's towel.
'Well, you did.' Perrie, who was already in a bad mood, already didn't like the boy's cockiness. 'Excuse me, I never said you could sit there. I don't even know you.'
'Alex, nice to meet you.'
'I'm P...'
'Perrie, I know. You're Caitlin's sister.'
'How do you know?'
'I've got my ways.' The boy winked at her. 'Now that I've introduced myself, can I sit here?'
'Whatever. You were sitting there already anyway.'
'You definitely look nicer than you actually are.'
'I'm normally a really nice girl, but you look like the kind of person who always gets what they want and I don't like that.'
'I thought you said you don't even know me.'
'Just a feeling.'
Perrie felt embarrassed as Alex started to move his eyes up and down the girl's body. 'Are you not hot in those jeans?'
'I am. They weren't my first choice to be honest.'
'You don't look like the kind of girl who changes their mind. What made you?'
'My dad. Apparently my dress was too short for a kids' football match.'
'Your dad was right. You shouldn't show too much. Just to the right people.'
'I show whatever I want to whoever I want.'
'Who's the lucky one then?'
'None of your business. How come you're not down there with your dad and your brother?'
'I was late. Stuck in traffic. See, that's how you answer a question.'
'Oh, you're gonna be in big trouble then.'
'I already am. My dad was not impressed with me.'
'My sister is gonna be really disappointed too. I think you're her favourite.'
'Don't tell anyone, but she's my favourite too. She's sassy, that little one. I'm starting to understand where she gets it from.'
'Teach them young, hey!'
Talking, Perrie and Alex didn't notice the match was over and were brought back to reality by the referee's whistle. Alex looked over to the pitch, then looked back at Perrie. 'I better go, before my brother sees me talking to you.'
Perrie gasped as she realised he knew about Christian's interest towards her and he still decided to sit and talk to her. Alex then continued in her ear. 'And yeah, he's definitely a lucky one.'
Alex run towards his dad and the team whilst Perrie, still in disbelief, went to join her parents and Caitlin.
Before they left, Christian walked over to Perrie.
'Hey. You made it.'
'Eventually. Congratulations on the win.'
'The kids did all the work.'
They smiled at each other. Perrie couldn't believe how different the two brothers were.
'Do you want to go for that walk now?'
Perrie looked at her dad, who nodded. She then looked over Christian shoulder just to see Alex still staring at her. 'Yeah, sure.'
