"alright everyone?" gareth says joining us
"yep." we all reply
"all get a good night sleep?" he asks
"ish." most reply
once we had all eaten i go straight back up to my room to grab my phone, but who follows me? no surprise, phil.
"what do you want?" i ask
"why are you being weird with me?" he asks
"i'm not." i say
"you were litreally trying your best to ignore me at breakfast." phil says
"well what do you want me to do? pay you more attention? why should i? we're just friends." i say
"i don't know whats got into you, but we can sort it out later. i've got other stuff to do." he says walking off
"good i don't wanna talk to you anyway." i say quietly
i grab my phone and my airpods and go straight out onto the track, only harry and jordan were out on the pitches at the moment. i start stretching and doing different warm up drills across 50m. i could hear all the boys running out from the sound of their football boots across the concrete, i ignore them, like i normally do. i set up the stop watch and get ready for my first sprint. i cross the line a second after my average, something was different, so i do my next one. again, it happened again. no way had phil fucking foden got in my mind and making me slower. no way.
i keep going, not being able to get under 12 seconds, he's gonna pay for this.
i walk over to where gareth was standing watching the boys play and ask if i could talk to phil for two minutes.
"okay but no longer than two minutes." he says
"thank you." i say as gareth calls him over
"what?" phil asks me
"sorry about earlier." i say
i didn't mean it, i never really mean my apoligies. but if this is what is affecting my times, i need to sort it,
"i know you don't mean that." he says, "why are you actually apoligising."
"you're gonna laugh." i say, "i don't wanna tell you."
"swear hands down i won't laugh." phil says
"well my times are awful, and i think it's cause earlier you got in my head." i say
i can see him trying his hardest not to laugh, "i'm affecting your running?" he asks
"well i don't know what else it would be... "i say
"i sincerely apoligise gorgeous if i made you slow." phil says kissing my cheek
"don't do that my dads right over there." i say
"yeah and he's not looking, so i can do this." he says giving me a peck
"stop." i say walking away back to the track
"i'll be cheering you on!" i hear him shout
i smile and look at my feet as i jog back over
