me and jack walk back to his car with half of our coffees still not finished.
"are we going to be late?" i ask
"probs." jack says, "we'll say we were in traffic."
"soo who's the hottest one there?" i ask just to annoy him
"y/n stop." he says
"what's the big deal anyway." i say
"first you have a boyfriend-." he says before i cut him off
"remember the deal." i say
"sorry, but still you aren't actually available. but i don't want you to get with them then you break up then it be awkward between me and them." he says
"so this is about you now?" i say
"well they are my mates y/n." jack says
"let's just not talk till we are there." i say getting in the car and slamming the door.
jack starts driving and about ten minutes in he already can't keep his mouth shut.
"what did i even do y/n, you're acting like a spoiled little brat." jack says
"what the hell jack"i say
"i'm sorry i didn't mean that." he says
"just drive please and stop talking." i say
"no i will stop this car if i have to, tell me what the hell i did." he says
"i just wish you trusted me a little bit more, i'm 20 jack. i don't need you running after me anymore. someday i am going to have to face the real world."i say
"i do trust you y/n." he says
"no you don't, you don't even trust me enough to talk to boys my age." i say
"that has nothing to do with how much i trust you, i'm just saying that for your sake."
"no you're not, you're not like that jack." i say
"so now you're accusing me of not caring for my little sister?" he asks
"we both know you don't give a shit abut what i do or where i am or what has happened to me. you are doing this for your own safety." i say
"so what if i am? is that so bad? i didn't even have to let you come. this is my thing y/n, not yours. these are my mates and i don't want you ruining any of my friendships."
"well that's not my problem." i say taking my phone out of my pocket and texting maya.

"we're here." jack says parking up
once the car is stopped i un click my seat belt and get out. i start walking to the entrance until jack calls my name.
"i ain't bringing your bag in y/n." he says
"sorry." i say
"nah it's mum and dad's fault for raising us so we think everyone will do everything for us." he says
"don't blame them for the way they brought us up, be grateful hat you have a life." i say
"whatever." jack says walking off locking the car
i follow him to the double doors where i see this lady shake his hand and make eye contact with me as i approach her.
"ah you must be y/n grealish, i'm sarah. i do all the boring stuff here like check you in. do you need help with your bags?" she asks me
"yes please, thank you so much."i say as i hand one of them over
"no worries, follow me." she says
we walk inside and she guides me over to this table.
"now do you need any chargers or anything?" she asks me
"yes please." i say picking up a computer charger
"lets see what room you have been put in." sarah says walking over to all the key cards
"room E." she says handing me my own card with my name on it, "do you need any help on how to find it?"
"i'm sure i will eventually, thank you though." i say
"okay great, you can leave your stuff here." she says
"see you later." i say walking off through the curtains.
when i open the door i see all of the coaches and the manager waiting to greet everyone. i walk over to them and shake all of their hands.
"very nice to meet you y/n, i'm sure you will have a great time." gareth says
"thank you sir." i say
"please, gareth is fine." he says
"okay." i say smiling
"see you later y/n." they all say as i carry on walking
i wonder through the halls attempting to find the bedrooms but have no luck. i eventually decide to sit down on the sofa i found. i take my phone out of my pocket and go to text peter hopefully for the last time this summer.

i hear footsteps coming from behind me and two voices talking, i turn my head and see two men.
"who's the new girl?" one of them asks me
"wait are you jack's sister?" the other one asks
"yeah, i'm y/n." i say standing up as they shake my hand
"marcus, marcus rashford." one of them says
"i'm phil foden." the other one does
"what are you doing sat out here?" marcus asks me
"i can't find the bedrooms." i say
"what room are you in?" phil asks me
"room E." i reply
"we're room F so you're right next to us." marcus says
"who's in my room?" i ask
"you've got mase, chilly and jack." marcus says
"jack?" i ask
"yeah your brother." phil says
"why do i have to be in a room with him." i say annoyed
"do you not get on?" marcus asks me
"we have our moments, he told me i was acting like a spoiled brat earlier and he also told me i wasn't allowed to hook up with anyone cause you're all his mates and this is his thing and i'm not allowed to take this from him." i tell them
"get over it y/n." jack says walking in
"shut up jack." i say
"phil wanna go outside?" jack asks him
"i was just about to show y/n her room." phil says
"why can't marcus do that?" jack asks him
"i guess he can..." phil says
"why would you want to hang out with y/n anyway." jack says laughing
"can you stop pretending i'm not even here." i say
"who cares, no one wants you here." jack says, "go back home to peter."
"i told you i don't want to talk about him." i say
"who's peter?" phil asks
"her boyfriend, they're in love." jack says
"we're not, my dad forces me to be with him." i say
"why?" marcus asks
"cause she's the favourite." jack says, "she's daddy's little princess."
"just go jack if you're only going to talk about peter." i say
"come on phil." jack says walking back out the room with phil following him
"this is gonna be a long summer." marcus says smirking
"can't wait." i say sarcastically
"should i show you your room then?" he asks me
"yes please." i say
"follow me." marcus says
we walk upstairs, through the halls, past a few rooms finally to the bedrooms.
"right so this is your room, mine and phil's is that one there." marcus says pointing at it
i get my key card out of my pocket at tap the door and it opens, i walk in and see a brown haired man on his bed on his phone
"hey mase." marcus says
"hi marcus, who's the newbie?" he asks
"this is y/n, jack's little sister." marcus tells mason
"hi y/n." mason says
"hello." i say walking in the room, "what ones my bed?" i ask
"anyone you want, jack and ben haven't chose yet." mason says
"i'll see you later y/n." marcus says closing the door behind him
