Who Are You? The Football Manager.

Chapter 20: FIFA Night

AUTHOR'S NOTE: NO MORE SCHOOL FOR 3 MONTHS! YESSS! But just because I have more time doesn't mean I'm going to spend it doing something productive, like learning Spanish or Portuguese; you're still going to have to correct me if my translations are wrong. And of course, you can hit me in the head with a football if I say something stupid like "All footballers/soccer players are magically amazing at FIFA," or anything else like that because I obviously cannot play this game; someone needs to teach me.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS AND VOTES!! :) <3

*LIONEL's POV*

"Argh! Leo!" I laughed as I stole the ball away from Dani and passed it to Neymar. We had been playing keep away for about half an hour now because Arianna wasn't here yet. It had been a week since I had gone to see her game in America, but at the start of practice, she had called Marc to let us all know that she would be late because of some emergency.

She had called Marc.

Marc.

Marc.

"Leo, pay attention!" I heard before a ball slams into my stomach. I see Marc running towards me to get the football. Narrowing my eyes, I regain my footing on the ball and quickly turn around so Marc ends up running into my back. He tries running around me to get the ball, but I keep my body between him and the ball. Looking up briefly, I see Gerard in front of me, "Gerard!" I passed the ball to him, smiling, feeling proud of myself for keeping the ball away from Marc.

"Ok boys, let's take a break," Pep said. It was a really hot day and not a cloud was in sight. We all went to the sidelines to sit down and get some water.

"I could really use a breeze right now," Dani said, sitting down next to me.

"Breeze?" Gerard said sitting in front of us, "I could go for a pool party and some ice cream."

"I don't know about the pool party, but I got you some ice cream!"

I looked up towards the sweet, lighthearted voice, "Arianna! Where were you?"

"Didn't Marc tell you?" I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes when she said his name, "I had an emergency."

"Are you ok?" I asked, she seemed pretty happy for an emergency.

"Yup! It was so hot today so this morning I wanted to make myself an ice-cream shake, but there wasn't any ice cream in the fridge!" I chuckled, imagining her panic at the sight of an ice-cream-less fridge.

"So I decided to go out and get a tub of ice-cream right away. I had Gabe drive me to get some ice-cream. I saw the huge tubs they were selling, so I just bought two of those for the team," she finished explaining.

"YES ICE-CREAM!" Gerard yelled.

"YOU SCREAM!" Dani yelled.

"WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE-CREAM!" The rest of the team yelled.

Arianna puts down the two tubs, "come and get it!"

We all stand up and rush over to her; she had brought vanilla and chocolate ice-cream. She gets a spoon and starts scooping ice-cream for us. Once we all have a bowl of ice-cream, we sit back down, talking among ourselves while Arianna talked to Pep.

Sitting down next to Gerard and Dani, I watched Arianna pull out a file and start showing Pep some diagrams. I noticed her hair wasn't tied up today, so when sunlight hit her hair, it appeared to shimmer and became a lighter shade of brown. Her bangs fell in front of her eyes, so every now and then, she would push them back, resulting in them falling in front of her face seconds later. Pep pointed out something on the diagram, making her bite her bottom lip. I watched her eyes move across the page quickly; I could tell she was thinking hard because her beautiful, brown eyes narrowed, her eyebrows furrowed, and her nose scrunched up in the cutest way. Seconds later, her eyes widened and she modified some lines and drew some new ones on the diagram; as she waited for Pep to study them, she bounced on her toes. A light breeze came by, blowing her hair back so I could clearly see her face.
