Tilly was now 15 and studdying for her GCSEs and Georgia was in her last few seasons of football at Man City and England. They still lived with JP and Tilly was becoming a little pro-footballer like her mum.
****************************************
"Oi , Tilly get up, you need to leave in 30 mins" Georgia screams to Tilly who needs to wake up fro school. Tilly plays for Man City U16s and is studying for her GCSEs alongside it. She also plays for the U17 england lionesses squad(which g is so proud of). She never asked about Olly, and doesn't really remember the few months she had with him when she was 5. She likes life as the two of them!
"When do I have training?" Tilly screamed back downstairs
"Well it's Monday today which means 5-8pm then tomorrow you leave school at lunch for training then Wednesday your training all day then Thursday it's 5-8 and then Friday I will pick you up at 2 and we will go down to SGP" g said reading off the Calender. Tilly's schedule is really busy , but she loves it as she loves football and she's so grateful for amazing opportunities and to be able to train so much. This weekend Georgia has an england camp and are playing Sweden home at Wembley and Tilly has her U17 england game v Scotland. So they both need to be at SGP.
"Oi tills, do you need lunch?"
"Nah, I will buy something at school mum don't worry" Tilly screamed as she walks out the door to meet her friends. As g was closing the door she heard one of tillys mates ask Tilly how jack was and saw how Tilly blushed. G was curious about this and wondered who jack may be!
"Oi you didn't say goodbye" g said running down the stairs and doing a small handshake with Tilly! Tilly then walks out and starts to walk to school with her friends.
"Steph I will be five minuets" g said on the phone to Steph
"G your late" she replies. Steph is now deputy manager under Nick (who had returned back to the WSL from America) at city and she hopes to make it as manager one day. She also helps out at SGP so will be there on the weekend with T and Georgia.All that was going around Georgia's mind was ' who is jack? I recognise the name' it was bugging Georgia all day until she spoke to Steph about it when leaving the CFA
" Steph? Do you know a boy called jack ? Around tills age?"
"Ummm got to think about it why?" Steph responded
"Oh , tillys mates were talking about a jack and Tilly was blushing and I think she may like him!" G smiled
"The only jack I know is jack Walsh-bronze as he was born a year before Tilly I think but obviously he lives with his dad until Lucy bronze went into early retirement after the dad left so she had to look after jack when he was 4. Guess that's the only jack that it could be. But I swear they still live in France after kei moved over there"
"Jeeez ye , kei and Lucy's jack! That makes sense, wow I feel like such a bad mate as we haven talked to them since they moved like 9 years ago" g said shocked
"Ye it's been mad but they didn't really keep contact, guess all our lives were incredibly busy and some friendships broke off!" Steph replied waving goodbye to g who was going to pick Tilly up from school.
"Hey tills, how was your day ?" G asked as Tilly jumped into the car waving goodbye to her friends
"Not too bad except Mr.Thomas was being a dickhead and had a go at me when I said that I was not in his lesson on Wednesday because of training but luckily this new kid stuck up for me and said it's not easy being a pro-footballer , which made everyone laugh" G smiled
"Firstly , don't swear tills! And who's this new boy? Is he a footballer too ?" Tilly blushed at Georgia's response
"Ye he's called jack , he moved here from France a few weeks back but he was born in England, his parents are pro-footballers apparently or one of them still is or something and he's just started Man City U17 boys and got a call up fro England so can't be that bad !" Tilly giggled. G was curious.
"Don't tell me , is his name jack Walsh-bronze" after the words leaving Georgia mouth she knew she was right by the expression on Tilly's face
"I swear you know everyone!" Tilly huffed and put on her seatbelt
"I use to play with his mums, Lucy bronze, the world class footballer I always talk about and her partner Keira Walsh". "Your old bestie" Tilly interrupted now understanding what g was saying
"So do you like him?" G asked
"Ye he's nice"
"No tills I mean do you like like him" g giggled
"Shut up mum, I barley known him 2 weeks ish" Tilly responded defensively
"Well not entirely true... you use to be best buds with him when you were a baby. Lucy went on early retirement and brought jack down to Man City for 6 months and you two were inseparable until obviously they moved to France" g explained
"Have you got some pictures that I can show him?" Tilly said. Her face lit up when g nodded.
"Hey why don't you invite him over for dinner and kei and I can have a catch up?"
"When ? I have no time ?"
" ummmm, well if he plays for England he should be at the training session on Wednesday right ?"
"Ye he's there why?"
"Well it finishes at 4:30 so we can go out after?"
"I'll message him!" Tilly said exited
Hey jack, wtf our mums use to be best mates you know that right ?? Ask your mums if they knew Georgia stanway and tell me what they say! Also yet training on Wednesday wanna come mine for dinner? X
ye tills apparently my mum use to be best mates with Georgia and my other mum said that we use to be best buds for like 6 months when we were little!
Cool, what's keiras number and I will give it to my mum as she wants to meet up or something! Also r u at Man City training tomorrow afternoon? X
No, I'm from 8:30-12:30 ? And it's 07779876543 x
Okay cool , I may see you after your training tomorrow then as mine is 1-4:30!x
Tilly have g keiras number and g messaged her straight away. She couldn't believe she was speaking to Keira again after all these years apart.
The next day went fast and Tilly and jack didn't end up bumping into each other's g was running late from her training session with the girls. But Tilly and jack were talking 24/7, which annoyed Steph who was trying to talk to Tilly! Wednesday soon arrived and g and Tilly couldn't wait to get training. Keira, now back from France, had actually decided to join back with the england squad till her career ends which Georgia was overalls exited about the news!
"Hey g, you know Tilly has grown up to be a beautiful girl" kei said
"Wow , France has made you actually be nice to me,*they both laughed* but thanks kei it means a lot, jack can't be too bad as I think Tilly has fallen for him"
"Ye , jack talks about her 24/7 and I only linked it the other day when he said her name was Tilly stanway" kei smiled and they continued training.
After training had finished Tilly met up with g and Keira as they walked to try to find jack , who was still with the boys!
"You so tall Tilly! I remember when you were like 4 and you use to run around the pitch with us" kei laughed at the mementoes she was now reliving
"Ye i remember you actually. We had some good times before you went to France" Tilly said almost looking sad.
"Ye sorry bout that, but jack was my priority... ah here he is" Tilly ran up to jack and gave him a hug and all the boys were teasing jack jokingly which made Tilly blush.
"You alright tills? How was training?" All the boys had to think for a second until one of them spoke
"Wait you train here too ? R u a footballer?"
"Ye play for the U17 england squad and U16 Man City, what's the problem? Scared that I'm better than you?" Tilly said sarcastically which made kei and g laugh.
"Nah it's pretty class that you play football" another boy piped up
"Ye but hands off boys, come on tills let go" jack put his arm round Tilly as they walked off with their mums to go for dinner
"So are you guys official?" Kei asked after a few minuets of silence
"Kei you can't jus ask that" g laughed. Tilly and jack looked at eachother and jack answered
"Guess so, if your happy with that?" Tilly smiled and hugged jack. Jack was a tall boy for his age. He had brown hair and curly at the top. He had a six pack and was very fit, Tilly was tall but average height for her age with long brown hair and blue eyes, she looked just like Georgia when Georgia was little and was always up to trouble !
