Freya's POV
"Morning Freya." Lynn says as she walks into the kitchen of the Airbnb I'm in.
The national team and I are in Chicago ahead of our first friendly of the October window.
"Yeah it is." I say as I continue cooking myself breakfast.
"Uh." Lynn says as the whole team get comfy around the kitchen.
The airbnb I'm in is the biggest of the one's that we're staying in so it's been designated as the hangout house.
"Don't worry." Sophia says. "That's her normal answer."
"Hey." I say then I smack Mal Pugh's hand with a spatula because she tried to sneak some of my bacon. "I paid for that so hands off."
"You paid for your own food?" Cairo questions. "This place is supposed to be stocked before we get here."
"Well they forgot the bacon and I was hungry so I went out and got bacon after my morning workout." I say as I get back to cooking my breakfast then I hear my phone buzz. "Can someone who's my friend check that?"
"It's Cosette." Raven says. "She says she's calling you in ten minutes for her morning song."
I always sing in the morning's when I make breakfast and I guess Cosette's gotten use to it.
"Cool." I say.
"What's you're degree in?" Alex asks.
My lock screen is me posing at my college graduation so I guess Alex saw my lock screen and that's why she asked.
"Which one?" I ask.
"Uhhhh how many do you have?" Sahara asks.
"I have a bachelors degree from Arizona State in African and African American studies, a masters from Oregon State in History with a focus in community history and civic engagement, and a PhD in African and African American Studies from Harvard." I say.
"You did all that before you were 23?" Sam asks.
"Yep." I say as as I finish cooking my breakfast. "In high school I was a part of an experimental joint high school college program so when I graduated high school when I was 18 I had a high school diploma, bachelors degree, and a masters degree then I was doing a security job for a person who went to Harvard so as my cover I got my PhD."
"They stopped the program after we graduated." Jaelin says as I move all my breakfast food to my plate then I turn off the cooktop.
Almost half of the participants in the program ended up being hospitalized for stress so they stopped the program.
I didn't want to do the program, but I was pretty much forced to do it by my dad.
"I didn't know you got a PhD." Katana says.
"Yep." I say. "We're about to be PhD buddies."
Katana's about to graduate with a PhD in history from the University of Bristol.
"What was you're dissertation about?" Tierna asks.
"It's called Making a National Crime: The Transformation of US Lynching Politics between 1883 and 1930." I say.
"Ooh that sounds interesting." Emma says.
"It's online if you wanna read it." I say then my phone rings so I answer it and see my sisters face pop up on the screen.
"Hi French Fry." Cosette says.
"Hi Cozy." I say.
"Are you ready?" Cosette asks.
"Yeah I'm letting my breakfast cool so I'm good." I say.
"Yay." Cosette cheers making me smile then I clear my throat and sing.
Écoutez moi
Moi la chanteuse à demi
Parlez de moi
À vos amours, à vos amis
Parler leur de cette fille aux yeux noirs et de son rêve fou
Moi c'que j'veux c'est écrire des histoires qui arrivent jusqu'à vous
C'est tout
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue j'ai peur, oui
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans le silence
Regardez moi, ou du moins ce qu'il en reste
Regardez moi, avant que je me déteste
Quoi vous dire, que les lèvres d'une autre ne vous diront pas
C'est peu de chose mais moi tout ce que j'ai je le dépose là, voilà
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
C'est ma gueule c'est mon cri, me voilà tant pis
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà juste ici
Moi mon rêve mon envie, comme j'en crève comme j'en ris
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans le silence
Ne partez pas, j'vous en supplie restez longtemps
Ça m'sauvera peut-être pas, non
Mais faire sans vous j'sais pas commentAimez moi comme on aime un ami qui s'en va pour toujours
J'veux qu'on m'aime parce que moi je sais pas bien aimer mes contours
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
Me voilà dans le bruit et dans la fureur aussi
Regardez moi enfin et mes yeux et mes mains
Tout c'que j'ai est ici, c'est ma gueule c'est mon cri
Me voilà, me voilà, me voilà
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà
Voilà
"Why can't I sing like that?" Cosette says.
"Same girl." Someone says as I eat a bite of my food.
"You can Cozy." I say.
"Meh." Cosette says as my Moms appear next to her. "I'll leave the singing up to you and Mom."
"Alrighty." I say with a smile then I eat some food.
"Freya did you see we got news about you know who?" My mama says causing me to shake my head as Everest appears on screen
"I did not." I say then I peek up at Jaelin and Sophia and see they're eyes bulging out of their heads. "If you want to tell me then speak in code."
"They have a confirmed chicken farm on the pasture in Pasha." Everest says.
"Why would they have a chicken farm there?" I ask.
"Apparently that's a new hub." Everest says causing me to sigh.
"Everest I'll call you later tonight." I say.
"Alright." Everest says then I tilt the phone to look at Raven, who's standing next to me.
"What are you doing today?" My Mom asks as I eat breakfast.
"We're going to Six Flags Great America." Raven says. "It was rented out for us"
"Well that sounds fun." My mom says.
"It should be." Raven says.
"Make sure my baby stays hydrated." Mama says.
"Which baby is that?" I say with a smile. "Me, Raven, Sophia, or Jaelin."
"Yes." Mama says making me chuckle.
"We'll stay hydrated Mama." I say. "I promise."
