"Evelyn, good work at practice today.You're finally getting it! Do you want to hang out over the weekend?"

Evelyn is a sweet girl, my junior. We became friends at the aftercare when we'd both wait for our older sisters to pick us up.

"Hey, Ella. I'd really like to. I'll have to find out if Somi can take me, though."

"Tell her I said Hi and we should hang out sometime." Somi just turned 20 this year, but whenever Evelyn and I hang out together, Somi joins us. We all get along really well.

"The same for you, and I think that someone's waiting for you over there." she points behind my shoulder.

I turn to where she's pointed. "Me?" I ask.

They're both looking at me, expectantly

"I'll be right back." I tell Evelyn and she whines.

"Do you know those people? They look pretty suspicious." she says, trailing behind me.

"No, but I'm about to find out."

"Are you always this daring? You're going to get us kidnapped."

"I did tell you to stay behind, Evelyn."

The two men straighten up and the one in the suit speaks in a foreign langage on some gadget around his wrist.

Evelyn and I stand warily, keeping a good distance.

"Can I help you with something?" I finally ask.

"Ella," the casually dressed man speaks. So he is here for me. "Can we talk in private, moreover, my manager wants to speak to you, in the car back there." He points behind his shoulder and I let out an amused laugh.

"Have you lost your mind? I'm not going anywhere with you. What do you want and how do you know my name?"

The other guy starts speaking into his wrist gadget again and he holds another gadget firmly into his ear.
