Y/N never expected her life to change because of football. At first, it is just something she loves. A place where she can forget about everything else for a while. But when an unexpected opportunity brings her into the world of professional women's football, her life starts to look very different. Suddenly, there are new people around her. New friendships. A family she never expected to become such a big part of her life. And someone who slowly becomes much more important to her than she ever planned. While Y/N tries to balance school, football, friendships and everything happening at home, she also has to figure out who she wants to become. There will be good days. There will be difficult ones. There will be injuries, laughter, arguments, unforgettable moments and plenty of chaos along the way. And somewhere between the football pitch, home and the people she meets, Y/N starts to realise that sometimes the life you never planned can become the one you wouldn't want to change. **200 chapters. One journey. A lot of memories.** AN: The Life I Never Planned was a huge source of inspiration for this story, so you may notice some similarities. But i think this book is slightly better. Also... please forgive the chapter titles. Coming up with those is not my talent. I didn't proofread the whole story, and English isn't my first language, so please bear with me if you notice any mistakes. I hope you enjoy!

short story - One rainy night after training, football star Alexia Putellas finds a six-year-old girl, Reyna, alone outside the stadium-soaked, silent, and separated from her overwhelmed foster group. What begins as a temporary act of care quickly becomes something neither of them expected. As time passes, "temporary" stops meaning anything.

Alongside Alexia's teammates-who become a chaotic, loyal found family-Reyna begins to open up, learning that home can be people, not places.

Rue (v.) to bitterly regret or feel remorse for something Beatrice Levine had a legacy. She played her way up through Arsenal's academy and England Youth groups. She'd won trophies, medals, individual awards, the 2022 Euros. And she did it all alongside Leah Williamson. Beatrice was a ray of sunshine - loved by fans and teammates alike. She worked hard and laughed harder. Her shirt was the highest sold women's shirt in the armoury. Her and Leah were known affectionately for their childhood friendship. She went off the 2023 World Cup as vice captain and a promise to Leah that she'd win it for her. And she never came home. Six months of silence. No football, no social media, no contact with anyone. Not even Leah. The news came in January 2024. Beatrice Levine had signed for Benfica. And half a season later, Barcelona put in an offer she couldn't refuse. Back at the top of her game, and with the 2025 Euros fast approaching, there's only so long Beatrice can avoid her old teammates. With her newfound Spanish friends and a mildly aggressive three legged cat, Beatrice must decide if she's ready to return to the life she once left behind.
