"amarachi balogun-christi has joined manchester united women for a record fee of 74 million pounds"

"so amarachi, how does it feel to be in manchester?" the reporter asked.

"you know it feels great, manchester united is an amazing club, rich with history and triumphs - im just happy to now be a part of that."

"and the circumstances at chelsea that pushed the transfer, what was the straw that broke the camels back?"

"i don't really want to get into that but at..."

the television faded as jadon walked to the kitchen to get a drink.

"you spoken to her?" his friend chibz asked.

"no, not yet...she didn't even tell me"

jadon and ama still kept in contact, although it was always jadon that was the one initiating conversation and ama gave dry replies. he was confused, was this the same girl that was crying when he left england?

jadon's phone rang.

"hello"

"hello jadon, just wanted to ring you to tell you you've been selected for international duty next week"

"ahh thank you"

"no problems, see you soon"

"bye"

...

"what was that?"

"just got a england call up"

"maybe if she's goes down to london you can speak to her"

"yeah"


















one week later...

ama had been training with the team for only two sessions before she came up with an injury. she had always had a general discomfort in her ankle but usually brushed it under the covers, but she fell victim one bad tackle and it really strained it.

she had to travel down to london to see her doctor that she'd been seeing since she was fifteen and he had all her previous injuries and paperwork, so he was the best man for the job.

coincidentally, jadon would be in london with the england team for upcoming qualifiers.


















"oi ruben"

ruben turned around to see a ball being thrown at him at full speed, but his quick reflexes saved his face from getting hit.

"marcus, you thought you could catch me lacking, never"

the whole squad were in the lobby of st georges park, waiting for gareth southgate to come and welcome them.

they were all greeting each other, dapping each other and bussin jokes.

jadon came in and was greeted by ruben, jadon put two and two together and realised that ama had asked for a break after she had lunch with him, what did he say to her?

nevertheless, he didn't want to make things awkward.

"yo ruben, what you saying?"

"nothin much" ruben replied.

"ok boys! firstly, i would like to welcome you back.."














"right, who took me other boot?" trent asked.

raheem, who was on the other side of the room, couldn't contain his laughter.

"raheem!"

"raheem man stop being a dickhead" marcus pleaded.
