Antonella's P.O.V.
It's been a week since my argument with Diego, he hasnt apologize but I don't expect him to until some time. Turns out Kevin was the one yelling that day, he was giving Diego a lecture. Kevin didn't exactly tell me what he said to Diego, but he just told me he was gonna apologize soon.
Kevin and Valentina left around two days ago, I was super sad though. At the airport me and Kevin were both hugging each other crying, we didn't want to let go. Eventually my dad and Pablo got ahold of me and forced me to let go.
Speaking of my father, right now we are on the way to Camp Nou since he has practice and me being the amazing daughter I am, I came to watch. After about 10 minutes we finally got to Camp Nou. I saw a few players making their way inside like Pablo torre, Frenkie and Ferran. We found a parking space and exited the car. My father then turned to me and said. "Mija, mi puedes a ser un gran favor y darle estos papeles a Sarah?" ("Mija, can you do me a big favor and give these papers to Sarah?")
"Si, por supuesto." ("Yea, of course.") He then handed me the papers and thanked me.
"Bueno, vamos." ("Well, let's go.") So we went walking inside, said hello to the receptionist and my dad left to the training field, while I made my way to Sarah's office. I was about half way there when I heard someone gasp and fall? I turned around and saw a girl about my age on the floor with all her papers spread everywhere.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay?!" I said while helping her up.
"Yeah i'm good, i'm kinda used to this. Oh and thank you." She said while I helped her pick up her papers.
"No problem." I said giving her her papers then I started to walk away until she spoke up.
"Do you know where the PR offices are at?"
"Yeah, do you want me to take you there?"
"Please." I nodded and we both started walking.
"Your new here right?"
"Yup, I'm supposed to be a PR manager for some player named Pedri González? I think."
"Your working for a soccer player but don't know anything about them?" I said while laughing.
"Yea, I only got this job cause I'm staying with Xavi."
"Ohh, are you related to him?"
"Yeah, he's my uncle. My mom died recently from cancer and I didn't want to go stay with my father cause he's a fucking bitch, so i'm staying with Xavi."
"Oh, i'm so sorry for your loss, may your mother rest in peace."
"It's okay, and thank you."
"Your welcome."
"Are you a player here? I feel like I recognize you but I can't remember your name."
"Yup, I am."
"Wait your... your... never mind! I can't remember, sorry." She said laughing.
"It's okay. I'm Antonella Ochoa, and you?"
"I'm Mercedes Aguilar." Mercedes. I like that name. After a few seconds of walking we made it to the PR offices where Xavi was waiting for her.
"Hola, Mercedes, cómo estás? Bien? Eso es genial. Ahora déjame mostrarte rápidamente tu oficina. Práctica comenzó hace unos minutos y llego tarde, oh! Hola Antonella." (Hi, Mercedes, how are you? Good? That's great. Now let me show you quickly your office. Practice started a few minutes ago and i'm late, oh! Hi Antonella.")
"Hola Xavi." ("Hi Xavi.") I said laughing at Mercedes face. She looked confused but happy. They left to go to her office so I went to drop off those papers. I said hi to Sarah and gave her the papers, then I made my way to the stadium.
"HEY GUYS!" I yelled at the boys. I then saw Pablo running at me at full speed, opening his arms for a hug.
"Hi Nutella! I missed you!" He said while hugging me.
"You saw me yesterday."
"I don't care! I still missed you!"
"Your so childish." He looked down at me and rolled his eyes.
"No way someone younger than me is calling me childish!"
"Well it's true, also i'm almost the same age as you."
"Really? When?"
"In about 2 weeks."
"TWO WEEKS?! WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME SOONER?!"
"Because it's not that important."
"Yes it is?! It's your 18th birthday, that's super important! I got to get you your gifts! And we have to throw you a party!"
"I thought you didn't like parties?"
"I don't, but if it's your party then I love parties."
"Alrighty then. Wait, where's Pedri?"
"I don't know actually, I think he said he's was going back to his car cause he forgot his water bottle in there."
"Oh okay. Oh, wait there he is!" I pointed towards Pedri.
"Hey Pedri!"I said while waving at him. He came running towards us and gave both of us a hug.
"Hey guys! How come practice hasn't started yet?"
"Xavi surprisingly isn't here." Said Pablo.
"I know where he's at." They turned towards me. "He's with this girl, she's new and he's showing her her office!"
"Ohh." The both said.
"OYE, NIÑOS!" ("HEY, KIDS!") Xavi finally appeared and was yelling at Pablo and Pedri.
"That's our cue to go! Bye Anto!"
"Bye Pedri, bye Pablo!" They waved and left so I went over to the benches. I looked over towards the team and notice that they were all kind of lined up when I noticed that Mercedes was right next to Xavi.

Mercedes P.O.V.
"Alright everyone! Hey Pablo! Look over here!" My uncle yelled at some kid who looked around my age, maybe a bit younger. The kid looked over at Xavi with his cheeks red and apologized.
"Alright everyone! This is my niece Mercedes! You all will be seeing her around here as she is staying with me and she is now working here!" All eyes on me. I looked at the players, they all looked like nice people. I looked at one of the players. He had dark brown hair and beautiful brown eyes, they looked so pretty. I didn't notice I spaced out until I saw his eyes look over towards me. He gave me a small smile and I felt my cheeks turn pink.
"Alright, go start warming up, except for you Pedri." Xavi said while pointing to the guy I was looking at. Everyone looked at the Pedri guy confused but then went to warm up. The guy then came up to us and said. "Yes Xavi?"
"Oh I forgot to tell you that Mercedes is your new PR Manager! Go and eat lunch or breakfast somewhere with her."
"What about practice?" He asked.
"You can skip today."
"Alright then." He then turned towards me. "Lets go get some food, Yea?"
"Sure." So we went inside and went inside to a little cafe they had here. We both ordered some coffee and a pastry and sat down at a table.
"So Mercedes, what brings you working here?"
"Um, I actually only got this job cause I lost my recent one."
"Why's that?" He asked curiously.
"Things weren't going good, my mother had passed away and I didn't feel like doing anything those days, just crying."
"Oh no, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, she in a better place now."
"Yeah. So your also staying with Xavi?"
"Yeah, my family thought it was better that I stayed with someone than on my own, and since I didn't want to stay with my father, Xavi said I could stay with him."
"That was very nice of Xavi."
"I know, he's a big part of my life. He's always been there for me."
"I knew Xavi could be nice!" He said laughing.
"So he's mean to y'all?" I said while laughing.
"Nah, he just makes a lot of jokes."
"Seems like him." He nodded while drinking some of his coffee. "So how old are you?
"19. And you?"
"20."
"Is there anyone here that isn't old?" He laughed at me. "I'm not that old! And there is like 2 kids who are younger than you."
"Who?"
"You know Pablo Gavi?"
"No, I don't know any soccer players."
"Dang your related and super close to an retired player and now a coach for the best team but you don't know anything about the sport he played?"
"Nope, also why does everyone reacted the same way: shocked?"
"Who's everyone?"
"You and this really nice girl, I think her name is Nella?"
"Oh, so you met Antonella. She's one of the people I was talking about. She's only seventeen, but she's turning eighteen soon."
"Ohh, and who's the other person you were talking about? Pablo right?"
"Yup, you know that one guy who wasn't paying attention and looking around when Xavi was talking? That's him. And guess what."
"What?"
"He was looking at Antonella on the bleachers, which makes me think they are secretly dating."
"Really?!"
"No. But I know Gavi likes her."
"Damn."
"I know right? He's had a crush on like, ever since he laid his eyes on her."
"Actually?!"
"Yup, he saw a picture of her and was like "She's gonna be fucking mine." I started laughing cause what the fuck?
"Does Antonella like him back?" I asked.
"I actually have zero clue, hopefully she does though cause it would be sad seeing Pablo getting rejected. Well anyway, your not fully Spanish right?"
"No, i'm have Brazilian cause of my father, another reason why I didn't want to move with him. He lives over there and I didn't want to leave this place behind."
"Spain is a very beautiful place, isn't it?"
"Yea, it is." That's when I heard him say something under his breath.
"Just like you."
