"See I did convince you to come with us." Pedri laughed and Vini shook his head while he looked at the both of us.

"I convinced her, you weren't there in her room right?" Vini asked Pedri and I shook my head while I walked away from them.

I turned around because I saw someone running in our direction. "Lautaro?" I asked as I smiled and he stopped running.

"Hey, Anastasia." He was out of breath and I smiled as I dabbed him up.

"What are you doing here?" I was smiling like crazy as he then looked up at me again and caught his breath.

"We're playing hide and seek with the team-" He had to pause and then he exhaled deeply. "I am gonna go somewhere, where they can't find me."

"Who's looking for you?" I asked him while I watched the others keep walking.

"Cate and Dybala." Lautaro looked around and I nodded slightly before realizing.

"Cate is here?!" I asked as my smile grew even bigger and my eyes widened. He nodded as he smiled too.

"Yeah, but I'll get going. I don't wanna get caught." He said and started walking away.

"Okay bye" I waved at him as I ran to the others. What I didn't realize is that one person actually waited for me.

Gavi was standing in the dark on the side of the road. We decided to walk to the restaurant for whatever reason.

As soon as I reached him he just turned around and started walking next to me. We didn't talk and the silence between us was unbearable and awkward.

I decided to break the silence. "Did you know that Cate is here?" I asked him but I couldn't make eye contact.

"Who?" He asked me, I still didn't look at him, and from the corner of my eye, I saw that he wasn't looking at me either so we were fine.

"Catalina Alvarez, she's Julian Alvarez' sister. She's always there with the Argentinian team and she's dating Garnacho-" He cut me off.

"Do you know like everything about her?" He asked in a cold tone.

"No, but I think she's iconic. She'd be the perfect girlfriend for Pedri." I smiled a little while keeping my eyes on the floor. There's no way I could look him in the eyes now. Not now.

"I never knew that she even existed." He simply said. I looked up to everyone walking in front of us. The distance between us was too big for them to hear us. I don't even know why we took a road that literally nobody knows and it's hella dark here. Well nobody knows it besides Lautaro.

"Are you gonna come to my game?" Gavi asked and I furrowed my brows, still avoiding eye contact. Eye contact is one of the most powerful things on earth, that's why I can't hold eye contact for too long.

It gives people way too much power over me. "Should I?" I finally looked him in the eyes and in that exact second, he turned his head towards me.

"I won't force you." We walked that way, keeping the eye contact, I couldn't get myself to look away.

"So do you want me to?" I didn't smile or anything, both of our facial expressions were dead serious.

"I won't force you." He repeated his words again and I looked away while nodding. "So you're gonna come." He stated.

"Yeah" I gave in and I looked up at the restaurant we finally reached. The others went in already and I didn't talk to Gavi until we reached the door too.

He opened it for me and let me go inside first, as soon as we went in Vini turned to look at us.

"Where were you two?" Asensio asked and Gavi opened his mouth but instead, I answered for him.

"I talked with Lautaro and Gavi was so nice and waited for me." I smiled and then walked past him to my brother.

"Can I sit next to you?" I asked him and he looked at me shocked.

"Yeah of course." He said and pulled out a chair next to himself for me. As soon as I sat down he turned to look at me. I looked to my right where Neymar sat down next to me.

"How come you want to sit next to me?" He whispered that way only I could hear his voice.

"I don't know, I don't feel well," I whispered and he furrowed his eyebrows while tilting his head a bit to the side.

"What do you mean? Like do you need to vomit or does your stomach hurt?" He asked while putting his hand on my arm.

"I'm just a bit uncomfortable." I looked around to make sure that nobody heard our whispers.

"And I help?" He asked while raising his brows.

"No, but you're family and you're home to me. So I thought maybe my brother will give me some comfort." I explained and a smile formed on his face as he pulled me in and kissed my cheek.

"You're my favorite sister." He smiled while he put his arm around me and pulled me closer to himself. I put my head on his shoulder while everyone sat down.

"Not like I'm your only sister." I rolled my eyes as I smiled.

After some time we got the menus and everyone ordered what they wanna eat. We talked a lot during the meal but I rather stayed quiet.

Rodrygo sometimes asked me if I was okay and if I needed anything. My answer was always the same. "No, I'm fine."

After we ate Asensio suggested the card roulette again. As soon as he did that Gavi gave him his card and he went stood up. I watched him walk last everyone at the table.

He walked past me and as he did that he tapped my shoulder. As I turned around he grabbed my hand and shook it. I looked at him confused and he just smiled.

As he let go of it I saw a red credit card in my hand. I watched him walk away and I could see that smile on his stupid face.

That fucker.
