hotel hookup

"hurry up, we're going to be late omg" lauren hassled amarachi who had overslept and hadn't  finished packing her bag

amarachi and lauren were frantically rushing out of lauren's house to get to the airport. the pair we're going to marbella, spain. it was kind of a last minute decision, the season had ended and they had no plans of going abroad but they saw all the footballers and their families there so they impulsively booked a flight to leave the next day.

they got to the airport just in time and caught their flight, amarachi threw herself onto her first class seat and fell asleep instantly. though during her sleep, she found herself stirring, and unsettling feeling wouldn't let her sleep. an unwelcome guest, that wouldn't leave. she felt sick to her stomach and threw up...

she assumed it was travel sickness though she had never had been on planes before and never had this problem. but this feeling was so disturbing and wrong.

...

"im sorry, but your daughter is on her last warning. one more referral from slt and we will have to permanently exclude her"

amarachi was acting up at school. when she entered in yr7, she was quiet and socially awkward - her scars hadn't even healed yet. but as time went on these marks manifested itself into anger and resentment and that was shown at school, by the time she was in yr10 she was in detention at least twice a week and had a rainbow collection of reports. teachers tried to remind her that she was a smart kid and that she could go to oxford or cambridge if she put her mind to it.

but she let her emotions control her. someone stared too hard - she had to follow up on them. someone tried to say something smart to her - she had to bark back twice as hard. and this almost always ended up in a physical confrontation. she never liked the person she had become, people didn't want to be around her; they felt she was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. this is why she loved football - she could take all of this anger and convert it into the power of her shots and passion.

...

"jadon bruv, i said you could have a few. why is the whole bag dusted"

"sorry man, im marving, swear you said there was restaurant downstairs"

"yeah let's go, but you owe me a bag of crisps"

jadon, reiss and couple of their other friends had decided to fly to marbella for merky festival. dave, stormzy, jorja smith and musicians like skepta were all going to be there, it was gonna be lit. maybe he could meet some girls too.

...

"ama, there's a festival happening 20 minutes away from our hotel"
"skepta, j hus and ... OMG DAVEE!!"

amarachi had been hearing her friend in the back of her mind for the past 10 minutes but when she screamed it made her eyes burst open and her headache followed promptly after. she could hear her stomach rumbling as she hadn't eaten anything all day and had been throwing up, but she was ready to eat now - whether it made its way back up or not.

"so...?"

"y...yeah, i'll transfer you money for my ticket"

lauren suggested that they go and eat as amarachi looked weak and pale. she mentioned there was a restaurant downstairs so they wouldn't have to travel far.

...

"i can't lie, i don't know what that means"
"patatas fritas y hamburguesa"

"well im assuming there's a burger of some sort, there"

jadon and reiss had sat in the restaurant, but had been staring at the menu for about 25 trying to figure out what it said

"bro, there english translation underneath"
