Scarlett's POV

"Odds on you getting a red Scar?" Alessia questions as she passes the line-up to my ladies and I.

"Oh I'd bet on that." I say as my girlfriends and I look at the line-up for tonight's match against Denmark.

1-Mary Earps
15-Esme Morgan
19-Maya Le Tissier
8-Millie Bright (C)
3-Niamh Charles
4-Kiera Walsh
16-Ella Toone
10-Fran Kirby
9-Lauren James
14-Scarlett Blondeau
11-Lauren Hemp

After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax for the rest of the drive while snuggling with and talking to Leah.

Once at Parken Stadium, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.

When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.

Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.

When I get onto the pitch, I stand with Leah and talk to our teammates for a few minutes then we head back to the locker room to get ready for the game.

Once I get to my locker I take out my nose ring then I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.

After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and wallet in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my long dark brown hair up in a ponytail then I put on my warm up top, my long sleeve dark red undershirt, and my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.

Once I'm dressed, I stand up, walk out of the locker room, and head onto the field with the outfield players.

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my dark red jersey while Jordan does her last minute talks.

When the last minute talks end we are told to head to the tunnel so I hug and kiss Leah and Jasmine before I head out to the tunnel.

Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Lauren Hemp and Esme then I wait for us to be called out.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Lauren out onto the field.

Once on the field we stand in line for the English and the Danish anthems.

When the anthem finishes we shake hands with the Danish players, we take a starting XI picture, Millie does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.

"No red." Leah says.

"No promises Leah." I say. "I make no promises."

Leah's POV

"Anybody figured out why Chelsea gave up on Scarlett?" Chloe asks as all of us on the bench sit down after celebrating Scarlett's second goal of the night.

"Nope." A lot of people say.

"It seems like Emma Hayes didn't really know what she was doing with the 2018 academy class." Rachel says as the game resumes.

Scarlett, Madeline Sow, Kennedy Moore, and Kendall McLoughlin all were apart of the 2018 Chelsea Academy and none of them were signed to the Chelsea first team.
