fifty-three.

present.

Emily walked into the house Tuesday afternoon. she was exhausted and also kind of never wanted to go back to school. everyone recognized her as Leo Messi's daughter and now she can't get a break. Delfi had to sit with her in the janitor's closet at lunch.

everyone was bombarding her with questions , the girls wanted to hang out with her and boys wanted free signed tshirts.

even though most celebrity kids were there , it was still a huge thing to them that Lionel Messi's daughter was at their school.

Amelia didn't try to talk to her or Delfina and Emily was kind of grateful for that.

she was now heading towards the backyard where Thiago , Mateo and Ciro was playing football.

Anto was on a bike , riding around with Hulk chasing her and Leo was taking videos. "hey" she said and Leo instantly smiled at her.

"hi princess" he said and pulled her in for a hug. Emily gratefully took the hug and took in his familiar scent that she grew used to over the past couple of months.

"hey" she said and smiled. "how was school?" he asked , putting his phone away and giving his daughter his full attention.

"everyone knows me now and let's just say...i'm not used to it" she said and his smile fell. "they're not bothering you , right?" he asked and she shook her head , even though she knew they were.

"you can just tell us when something happens and we'll get you out of that school ,okay?" he said and she nodded her head with a smile.

she greeted Anto and the kids and then excused herself to do some homework. she was tired and immediately plopped on the bed once she entered her room.

she sighed out of relief as she sank into the comfy bed , feeling her back ache go away and her muscles relax.

her eyes travelled to the photoframe of her and her mother , that was next to the bed. Emily sat up and took the frame in her hands , her pointer finger caressing over the photo.

this photo instantly brought a smile to her face as she remembered the good times. the photo was taken at an ice rink when Valentina surprised her daughter by going to ice skate.

Emily just quietly laughed as she remembered how her mother - who claimed to be a pro- fell at every step she took and how funny she looked.

Emily realised that she was no longer crying over her mother's death , but smiling at every memory they made.

she kissed the photo and put it back in its place before standing up and walking over to her closet. she picked out some leggings and an oversized Selena sweater.

Valentina loved Selena. she used to brag about how she went to Selena's conncert. she drilled everything about Selena in her daughter's head and Emily became just as obsessed with Selena as her mother.

Valentina used to tell Emily about how she went ballistic when she found out Selena had died , and went to the store to buy all Selena merchandise.

when Emily turned 12 , Valentina gifted her , her old Selena tshirt and to say that Emily was happy ,was an understatement.

Emily smiled at the memory and walked into the bathroom. she stood under the shower, ridding her body of all the sweat.

after she was done , she quickly changed and brushed her hair and left it to airdry.

Emily looked at her phone to see there was two messages from Enzo , one from Delfina and an instagram DM.

Enzo
hey, when can we see each
other again?
