You and me

Rumors

Leah's POV:

"GUYYYYSSSS!! Guess WHAT?!" Beth exclaims in front of the whole squad.

"This better be important Beth, I bet the whole block heard your scream." Kim says.

"Trust me Kimmy, what Beff has to say is worth the attention!" Daan comments. "It might or might not take some by surprise..."

"Really?! Have you finally convinced her to get a dog?" Katie says, half excited and half joking.

"I wish, but sadly not!" Daan replies.

"So what is it then? Soon someone is going to tell us that Leah and Jordan are dating... I mean, what's next?!" Jill suddenly says.

"Well Jillie, you're kinda right with that theory." Beth responds. "If they're not a thing already there's no doubt they'll be in the nearest future. Me and Daan overheard a cute little interaction between those two recently."

"Oh, what type of interaction?"

"Everyone remember the bus ride home from Manchester, right?" As all people in the room nods, Beth continues the story everyone is so desperate to hear about. "When Daan and I were supposed to leave the bus and go home, we heard Jord waking Leah up. It wasn't like all those times before, it's hard to explain, you can just feel it. Like they were being so soft with each other, said sweet things and were just unbelievably cute. I swear Leah and Jordan are -"

"You swear me and Jordan are what?!!" I question as soon as I hear someone mention us together in the same sentence. Me and Jordan just came back to the locker room after some extra practice on our own on the pitch after our training session ended.

No one said anything, it went dead silent as soon as I uttered a word. In the process I cut Beth off, which must've meant that we interrupted their friendly team chat.

"So what's the gossip girls?" Jordan lets out after a few seconds awkward silence. "Come on, don't be afraid to spill the tea."

"Yeah, it can't be that bad right? We're still a part of this team you know..." I add.

Beth looks around the room, seemingly trying to come up with some excuse or something more helpful to save her ass. I turn my head to Jordan who seems to be equally confused about this whole situation. Why can't they tell us the truth? Unless... Well there's no way they've found out already?! It's just been two days since our away clash with Manchester City. They can't know about us, if not obviously, Daan and Beth are the masterminds behind all off this. That would explain one thing and another if I think about it...

"Beth, Daan. Tell us. Tell me and Jordan the story you told all the other girls, teammates, friends, whatever you call them, that is in this room. We're listening, so don't waste your time girlies."

"Okay, well erm... I think it's better if Beth is the one telling the story." Daan says, barely getting the words out her mouth. "After all she's... she is the one who came up with this... idea."

"Thanks for your support Daan... Well back to the subject, I erm, I came up with this idea to... to tell the team-"

"Tell the team what exactly!" I nearly scream, as I'm about to lose my temper. I'm annoyed already, can't she see that?

"Sorry Le, Jord. But I kind of, you know..."

"You kind of did what Beth?! Just say it already!" Jordan shouts at her, clearly annoyed and frustrated with our teammate.

"That's what I'm about to tell you guys, if only you were patient enough and actually listening to me when I'm talking! Starting over again, basically I told the group of mine and Daan's memories from our bus ride home from our last away game... It really was some gold moments worth sharing with the rest of the squad. Just some details of that interaction you had before going home really. Not a big deal, huh?"
