As my Christmas gift to all of you, I posted 3 chapters so enjoy :) 

“Cesc said he’s going to call Alexis and Messi to come,” I told them.

“What?!” Elena said.

“You know as witnesses,” I said.

“No I know, but that’s like a guaranteed way to take him down,” Elena said.

“Yeah, who won’t believe the players?” Demi said.

“Especially a person like Messi,” Elena said.

“Yeah but still, Alexander has people in high positions,” I said worriedly.

“But I’m going to take them all down,” Matt said confidently from the door.

“Matt! Yeah, this is a perfect time for you to put your mouth to good use,” Elena said to him.

“I can think of other times,” Matt said a bit naughtily.

“Ok eww,” Elena said to him.

“If there is one person who knows a way with words it’s you,” Demi said to him.

“I couldn’t agree more,” Nate said from behind him, “He knows how to get rid of ladies fast.”

“Nate!” Matt said hitting Nate.

“Nate!” I said going to greet him.

“What about me?” Matt asked faking being hurt.

“If you get me out of this I’ll be forever grateful, I’ll do anything,” I told Matt seriously.

“Hey, that’s what friends are for and I really want to see the look on his face when we win,” Matt said.

“Thanks Matt,” I said hugging him.

“Group hug!” Matt said as I felt Elena, Demi and Nate hug us.

“Yeah, he is not getting away with it this time,” Nate said.

“Guys,” Ricardo said from the door, “The board is getting ready to see you,” Ricardo said looking at me. I nodded feeling nervous now, feeling that pit in my stomach. I noticed Cesc wasn’t here. I wasn’t upset, I assumed Pep told him he can’t come and needs to stay at practice. Although now I felt even more nervous. I knew that even one of them being there would help me a lot but I had my friends and that was the best support I could have right now. We all glanced at each other nervously except Matt.

“Let’s show this guy who he’s messing with,” Matt said and I couldn’t help but smile a bit. Matt never showed his real feelings but at a time like this we all needed someone to keep us together and Matt was always that person.

“Yeah!” Elena said supportively. We all walked towards the board room. I couldn’t help but feel even more nervous, if that was even possible. I took a deep breath and entred the room. It was big and spacious inside, the typical boardroom setting. It didn’t have that warm feeling like the Barca players, it had that cold, formal, strict feeling. To make things worse, here we all were in casual clothes while everyone around us were in suits. I could not help but think they were all on Alexander’s side. I didn’t know any of them and they were already giving me disapproving glances.

“We meet again,” an amused Alexander said entering the room. I so badly wanted to break his arm or just do anything to get that smirk off his face. I knew he was trying to provoke me but I wasn’t falling for it and I kept calm. I didn’t want to give the members a reason to believe him and take his side.
