Elena: "Good morning"
Leah: "mmh"
Elena: "Do you know what we're doing today?"
Leah: "No," she said, mumbling into her pillow
Elena: ,,what? Today is Beth's birthday mate"
Leah: "oh yeah almost forgot"
Elena: "Come on now "
Leah: "Why Elenaaaaa"
Elena: "Because we have to leave in exactly 10 minutes"
Leah: "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"
Elena: "I didn't want to hear your annoying voice"
Leah: "Oh, how nice of you"
Elena: "Yeah, come on now"
Leah: "Wait wait wait...why do we have to go now?"
Elena: "I had to make a deal with Sarina so we could have time off"
Leah: "And?"
Elena: "We have to go to Media Day for that"
Leah: "ughhh really"
Elena: "Yes, in 10 minutes, so hurry up."

At Media
(John is our cameraman)

John: "and action"
Elena: "my name is Elena Rodriguez"
Leah: "And I'm Leah williamson"
Elena: "Yeah"
I said and looked at her
John: "Do you want to say what you want to play?"
Elena: "yeah right, and are playing Roomies today"
Leah: "correct"
We had Ipads in front of us with the questions
Elena: "Okay question number one, how did the room layout come about?"
After a short silence I looked at Leah
Leah: "Actually it's automatic that we go into a room"
Elena: "Yeah, it's somehow embedded in our brains"
John: "Are you happy with the arrangement?"
I looked at Leah and she at me
we both had to laugh
Leah: "Yes, I would say so"
Elena: "Absolutely"
Leah: "okay question number two, what was your impression when we first met...okay you first"
Elena: "Pffff...I held the door open for her and she didn't even say thank you, so that's more negative."
She looked at me with her mouth open
Elena: ,,what? that's the truth"
Leah: "...that wasn't our first encounter"
I looked at her questioningly
Leah: "We had training before and you were the great Elena Rodriguez...you tunneled me like 8 times that day"
Elena: "Oh, I didn't even notice you"
Leah: "Oof, that was hard... I noticed you"
Elena: "understandable"
John: "And when did your love begin?"
I know he meant it ironically
Elena: "We're still waiting for that"
Leah had to giggle
Elena: "No, it's fun, it came in Arsenal, didn't it?"
Leah: what? not Sooner?"
.....
Leah: "It's totally okay, in Arsenal then apparently, it sparked for me before"
I laughed at her
Elena: "Okay next, what do you value in each other"
Leah: "You are...you"
Elena: "Oh wow, how great"
Leah: "You are just you and you are perfect"
Elena: "mmhhh I appreciate that you breathe"
Leah: "Wow, how romantic"
John: "What's typical of your roommate?"
Elena: "Oh God, she won't get out of bed, really you can do anything, she won't get out of bed."
Leah: "Elena is always absolutely funny in the evenings and absolutely annoying in the morning"
Elena: "Oh wow"
Leah: "Okay last question, if you could explore a city together, what would it be?"
Leah: "God I know you love Barcelona more than me so I would go to Barcelona with you"
Elena: "That was by far the nicest thing you've said to me in the last 8 years"
Leah: "Okay, that's where we end this video"
Elena: "Wow, that was a very lovely exit"
Leah: "How else can I say it?"
Elena: "That was our video, thanks for watching, we hope to see you at the stadium"

In the evening

Elena: "Are you ready to go-?"
I walked into the room and there she was standing there.
With curly hair and her perfect smile
Elena: "Damn"
I said smiling and looking her up and down
Leah: "hey stop with that look"
Elena: "You look beautiful"
Leah: "Thanks, you don't look so bad either"
I rolled my eyes and she came up to me and kissed me
Elena: "Okay, let's go"

*at the party

We gave Beth her gift and then Leah, Keira and I sat at the bar
We had a small conversation until I was interrupted
Zack: "Elenaaaaa"
Zack is Beth's little cousin.
He is 6 years old.
I stood up and he hugged me.
It's always funny when he hugs me because it only goes up to my thigh.
Elena: "Hey Mate, how are you?"
Zack: "Good, I just missed you"
Elena: "Hey, it hasn't been that long since we've seen each other."
Zack: " my birthday"
Elena: "That was only 2 months ago"
I said laughing
Zack: "Come with me, let's play something"
I turned to Leah and Keira
Elena: "I'll be right back, protect my Cola"
The two just laughed
I went with Zack to a kind of play corner and sat down
He told me everything about football and I listened to him
