I knew that today was going to be a hard day for me, I knew it since the first moment I opened up my eyes and tried to get up. I took the sheets of me and look up to the ceiling, I saw my poster of Karim and smiled, it was the first and last smile of the day. My annoying little brother came jumping to my bedroom trying to wake me up, I yelled at him and he ran away from me.

I went to take my morning shower, brush my teeth and look in the mirror, I have always thought that I have a exotic beauty with my black, long and thick hair, my thick eyebrows and my prominent lips but I wasn’t the kind of girl that make guys go crazy and if you ask me I wasn’t interested in that. I cleaned myself and got out of the shower. I went to my closet to see what I was going to wear.

I opened up the closet door and the first thing I saw was my Real Madrid jersey and a pair of black jeans, oh I remembered that I was going to put this today because they won yesterday in the Champions League game. In part I was happy for them but I was already annoyed about life so not even that cheered me up.

In five minutes I was ready, I went to my desk to pick up my books and I saw that today was thursday and tomorrow was the last day of school. I haven’t thought of that until now, tomorrow I’m going to graduate from High School, no more drama, no more stupid teachers, no more things that I don’t like. I grabbed my books and went downstairs to meet my family for breakfast.

-Hello beautiful- My mom said with a plate of pancakes on her hand

-Hi mom- I gave her a kiss on her cheek and sat down next to my little brother

-So princess tomorrow is the big day- My dad said with a glass of fresh orange juice in his hand

-Yeah I didn’t realize it until this morning- I began to eat but I notice that my parents were a little bit to happy this morning

-Congratulations big sister- My little brother said trying to give me a hug. Sometimes he can be the cutest little person ever

-What’s wrong?- I said looking at my parents

-Ok I can’t take this anymore- My mom said looking at my dad suspiciously

-What?!- I was wondering if they had a surprise for me but I couldn’t figure it what was it

-You’re going to Spain!!!- My dad said handing me a envelope with my ticket plain

-No really what’s wrong?- I couldn’t believe it, it was to good to be truth

-I’m already telling you Minty, you’re going to Spain for two months- He had a big smile on his face that I couldn’t help but smile

-Ohh dady, mom- I look at them and went to hug them- Thank you so much! I can’t believe this you made me so happy- I grabbed the envelope and hugged it too

-Your plain is leaving on saturday at 7 am so you have only tomorrow to pack and stuff

-Oh good I have so many things to pack that I don’t even know where to start- I was dying to go to school and tell all my friends

-Haha well I’m going to put the suitcase on your room now so when you come from school you can start packing- My dad was so happy because I was happy. I was so in shock

-But where I’m going to stay?- Maybe with a friend of the family or something

-We rent an apartment next to the stadium Santiago Bernabeu- My mouth opened slowly

-What?! OMG mom! dad! That’s amazing!!!!- They knew how to steal the words from my mouth

-Haha I knew you were going to be happy about that- My dad continued eating his fruit salad but now with a smile on his face- And I’m going to give you a credit card with no limit so you can spend it in anything you want- He gave a credit card it was all gold and beautiful, all for me

-Oh dad what did I do to deserve all of this?- I knew I was a pretty good daughter but this was way to much for me

-We want you to have fun this summer, you deserve it- My stomach had a big whole inside and I wasn’t hungry anymore I was way to excited to eat

-Thank you so much again! but I have to go to school or I’m going to be late- I drank a little bit of orange juice and gave my little brother a kiss on his forehead

I kissed my mom goodbye and wave to my dad. I grabbed the keys of my car and turned it on, oh I’m going to miss you little car, I thought to myself but well I’m not going to stay there so in a couple of months we are going to be together again. In my ride to school I was thinking in all of that, I was going to be next to the most awesome stadium in the world, I’m going to live just right next to it and that’s just awesome and I’m going to finally be able to see my babies for the first time of my life I’m going to have to buy a lot of shirts and all what I can find in the Real Madrid store. I’m not the kind of girl that likes to spend all of her money on shoes or clothes, I like to save money or just buy football stuffs just because it is my passion and not forget that I spend a lot of money on food too well in nutella most of all.

I finally arrive to the school and went running to see my friends, the same friends that I have since I can remember. Jadee, Isabella and I have been friends since we were in our moms tummies, we were born in the same hospital and we lived in the same street since that day. They were talking in front of their locker rooms and I came and hugged them as tight as I could.

-Minty!!!- Jadee punched me on the arm

-Ouch Jadee that hurt!- I said rubbing my arm

-Well you almost choked me to death- She had a Newcastle jersey, I will never understand how she likes that team but well I love her anyway

-You guys! I’m going to Spain for two months!!!- I said jumping up and down, the other people on the hallway were looking me like I was a weird girl

-What???!!!- Isabella said now jumping with me

-Yeah my parents said it to me this morning and I’m going to live next to the Bernabeu- We three were really football freaks. We love football like we love our life

-Oh my god Minty you’re so luckyyy!!- Jadee said almost crying

-Why are you crying?- I made a put and grabbed her hand

-Because I thought we were going to be together this summer- She had her face down

-Jadee!!- I hugged her- I’m not going to be there forever, is just two months and when I come back remember that we are going to be in the same college- That’s one of the things that I was really happy about, I was going to study in the same collage that my two best friends

-Yeah Jadee and remember we need a break from this girl- Isabella punch me and smiled

-Hahaha yeah we need a break from each other- I gave them a hugged and did our secret hand shake. We are going to be together always

We went to class, I watched the clock during the whole day wanting to go home already to starting packing. The day was going to slow for me but finally the bell rang and I said goodbye to my two best friends and went to my house. My mom received me with a hug and a beautiful dinner ready for the four of us. We ate pasta Alfredo, it was one of my moms specialties and there’s no one that made pasta like her. We talk for a little while on the table but I remembered that I have to start packing so I went upstairs and opened my closet and saw that this was going to be a pretty long night.

Three hours had passed and I was finally coming to the end of packing, I grabbed my two others football jerseys and my posters and put them in the last suitcase. My mom entered to my room but she saw that I was almost done, she gave me a kissed and wished me goodnight.

I went to my bed to lay down I was tired, I turned my head to my night stand and saw the photo of Alex and me, he had this beautiful big smile but he wasn’t watching at the camera he was watching me like he was truly in love with me and me, like always, with my head down, red cheeks and a crocked smile but you could tell that I was in love too. I fall asleep and welcomed the beautiful sleep.

The next day was a pretty good day for me, went to the beauty salon to do my hair and nails then went to my house and getting dressed. My dress was all white but with gold lines along the entire dress, just like the new kit of Real Madrid. I looked myself one more time and went to my graduation. I got there and say goodbye to the home that saw me grow for this couple of years.

After two hours of talking, laughs, smiles, tears we were all graduated and I couldn’t believe it. I went to see my parents, they hugged me and dried their happy tears. I went to say goodbye to all of my teachers and all of my other friends.

-Hello?- I picked up my cellphone

-Minty- His voice was weird, was rough but sad at the same time

-Alex?- Almost eight months without talking to him so I was in shock

-Yes, how was graduation?- I didn’t understand why he was asking me that, we haven’t talk in months and that’s what you say first?

-Pretty good- Awkward silence- Why are you calling?- The tears were saying hello to me but I had to be strong

-I wanted to know how are you- I knew him to well and I knew that wasn’t why he was calling

-Well I’m good- I didn’t want to know how was he, I didn’t care

-So what are you doing this summer?- His voice had hope but I was going to crush his hopes just now

-I’m going to Spain for two months- He didn’t say a word for a few minutes

-Alone?

-Yes, is a gift from my parents

-When are you leaving?

-Tomorrow at 7 am

-Well I hope you have a save trip- I was going to hung up but I couldn’t, he didn’t deserve that

-Thank you, Alex. Be safe

-I’ll try- He hang up, I wanted to cry but I remembered that he broke my heart and he didn’t deserve my tears

I got home, my mom had me a beautiful party with all my friends, neighbors and family. We ate, we drank, we dance and we enjoy our last day of high school. The party ended, I hugged my best friends, said that I was going to missed them but that in two months we were going to back together, they smiled and they were gone. I went to my bedroom, showered and fall asleep.

The clock rang at 3 am in a normal day I would fall asleep again but just to know that I was going to be in Spain in a few hours that made me got up pretty fast. I finished packing the last few things and in twenty minutes I was ready to go. My dad put all of my suitcases on the trunk while I was sitting next to my sleepy little brother. All the ride to the airport I was watching trough the window not believing that I was going to Spain and to finally see a game of my babies, my Real Madrid babies. I was dying to see Karim Benzema playing, for me he was one of the most awesome players that Real Madrid ever had and plus he’s cute, shy and sexy what else can you ask?.

We parked, went to the counter and in forty five minutes I was saying goodbye to my parents. My mom was crying but with a smile on her face and that put tears on my heart, my dad gave me a pat on the shoulder and hugged me well I didn’t expect tears from him and my little brother only gave me a hugged and a kiss, I smiled to him. I entered, took a deep breath and prepared myself to this big adventure that was in front of me.

In nine hours I was already in Spain in a beautiful sunny Madrid. I went to pickup my suitcases and went to find a taxi. I gave the taxi driver the direction that my dad had gave me. My eyes couldn’t believe what I was seeing, La Cibeles, I have only seen this statue in pictures and videos, a tear rolled down to my cheek as soon as I remembered how Real Madrid was celebrating La Copa del Rey here a few months ago. We arrived to my building and the nice man helped me to get the suitcases in to the apartment, I paid him and he left.

My apartment was so beautiful, it was a studio apartment but I didn’t care. It was all white with a touch of green. The kitchen was all of dark good and the appliances was all white. My bed was super big and with the sheets of greens dots. A green couch, a white desk, a white chair, a white dining table with green chairs and a beautiful plasma tv. I was in heaven.

The next two hours I was finishing packing, I had a dresser and a small closet but I did magic to fit all of my clothes in there. I haven’t notice but I had a window above my bed, I opened the curtains and the first thing I saw was the Bernabeu, oh my god my dad was telling the truth I was living next to the stadium. I changed my clothes and decide to take a walk trough the streets of beautiful Madrid. I grabbed some dark jeans , a black tank top, my brown convers and some gold necklaces. I grabbed my purse, my cellphone and my house keys. I decided to go to Serrano street to see what all the fuzz was about.

All the stores where all fancy and expensive, I couldn’t buy anything there but I thought that try something on wouldn’t kill me so I entered in Gucci. I like the style of their clothes because of the colors that they used, grey, brown, black, dark colors just like what I use. One of the girls of the store gave me a dirty look like I wasn’t invited there or something like that but I didn’t care and started picking some clothes to try on.

I went to the fitting rooms and put all the clothes a side and started taking my old clothes off. I grabbed one of the beautiful dresses, it was all green but with a black belt, it wasn’t my color but it didn’t look bad on me. I started to hear some shouting from outside of the fitting rooms, I opened the curtain and pop my head out and saw a lot of woman running around the store I didn’t understand what was going on but I went to my dressing room again, I closed the curtain, I was trying to put down the zipper of the dress when all of the sudden a man entered on my dressing room and closed the curtain, I didn’t know who he was.

-What’s wrong with you?- I started punching him on the back until he turned his body to me

-I’m sorry a pack of women are following me so I had to hide somewhere- I couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. The boy with this beautiful brown eyes, with a tiny mouth but kissable, with a beautiful smile and two lines on his hair was in my dressing room, Karim Benzema was in the same dressing room as I

-Oh my god- I opened my eyes wide because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing

-What’s wrong? Did I step your foot or something?- He looked down to see if my feet were okay

-No no, is that you’re Karim, Karim fucking Benezema- He gave me a crocked smile

-Are you going to jump over me and shout in my ear?- Even he was smiling his eyes were full of concerned and fear

-No no don’t worry I mean I’m in shock that you’re here but I’m not that kind of fan- I looked down and started playing with my fingers

-Oh ok that’s cool- In a weird way he was really disappointed but he sighed in sign of relief- Hey I’m really sorry for what I did, you know coming here a invade your space haha- Ohh what a beautiful laugh I had dream this day for so many days and now that is happening everything seems all a lie- Let me buy you that dress that look so good on you

-Ohh no you don’t have to- I could feel all my cheeks red but I couldn’t help it- Just meeting you here like this is enough- I sounded like a crazy fangirl but everything was true

-No I insist please- He gave me that look that I have only seen in magazines and videos

-Well okay but I have to change- He nodded and went outside

Okay Minty you’re dreaming, of course you’re dreaming you didn’t met Karim Benzema in a store, I pinched myself and realized that it was real I was in my beautiful green dress, in a Gucci store and Karim Benzema was outside waiting for me, first day in Madrid and it was already a crazy day. I unzipped the dress and put my old clothes again, I saw all the other clothes laying there on the fitting room, oh well maybe another day. I stepped out of the fitting room and he was still there, waiting for me my cheeks were all red again. He turned his head and smiled when he saw me come out.

-Give me the dress- He said in a rude way but I didn’t care

-Sure- I followed him to the cashier. It was the same girl that gave me a dirty look when I came in, I sighed. Karim turned his head to me

-What’s wrong?- I can’t even do a sound because he’s already asking what’s wrong is a bit of annoying but cute at the same time

-That girl looked at me dirty when I came in- He turned his head to look at her and then look at me again

-Come- He grabbed my hand and lead me to the cashier- Hi- He said to the cashier, she gave him a beautiful look and a smile, basically she flirt with him and then look at me and gave me another dirty look, Karim turned and looked me in the eyes and smiled

-So this is a gift for you little sister?- She said with a tiny little voice with a lot of sarcasm

-She’s not my little sister- He grabbed my hand that was in the counter, she saw it and didn’t say another word

-It’s going to be…- She was going to say the amount of money that Karim was going to pay but he cut her off

-I don’t care- He hand her his credit card- Here you go- I put my head down and smiled

-Here you go Sir- She handed the credit card but this time she didn’t even look at him- Enjoy your dress miss- She smiled at me but she was pretty annoyed and I just giggled. We stepped out of the store and stand awkwardly outside

-Well Sir thank you so much for the dress- I made eye contact with him but I quickly looked away

-I hope you enjoy it- He had his crocked smile

-I have to go now- I really didn’t have to go but I was feeling pretty uncomfortable around him

-Sure- I lift my hand to shake his hand but he grabbed it and pulled me against him- After I bought you the dress you are not going to give me a hug?- I was in shock because in the photos and videos he didn’t seemed this outgoing but I didn’t mind

-I really don’t know how to act around a famous football player- He let go of me

-Just be normal- He turned his body and walked away from me

-Bye- I whispered to the wind

I walked to my apartment because it was getting late but when I passed in front of the stadium I saw that tomorrow it was going to be a game, Real Madrid-Getafe. I walked to the counter to see if there was any tickets left, there was a few left but one of them were pretty close to the bench of Real Madrid so I obviously bought it. I payed with the credit card that my dad gave me in a way I felt so bad for spend that kind of money but in the other way I was so freaking happy that I was finally gonna see them, in the Bernabeu, live, me, finally.

I walked around the stadium and saw how a few expensive cars were leaving the stadium, I tried to see who they were but all the windows were all black. I continued walking but all of the sudden one of the cars almost run over me but somebody grabbed me and pushed me to the floor, the car didn’t even stop. I turned my head to see who was my hero.

-Are you okay miss?- This beautiful guy handed me his hand and I took it

-Yes I guess- I cleaned my clothes that were now all dirty- Thank you so much, you just saved my life- I lifted my head and saw his beautiful face. He had this amazing black thick hair, beautiful brown eyes, tiny mouth and a thick black beard just like his hair. He wasn’t that tall but had a pretty good hight, he was pale and skinny but with a little bit of muscles. He reminded me so much of Raul Albiol but I knew he wasn’t him because he didn’t have the beautiful freckle that Albiol have near his left eye

-Haha don’t worry- He looked at me from head to toe- Well it seems that you are complete, you have all of your arms and legs hahaha

-Yes hehehe- I laugh awkwardly- All thanks to you

-My name is Sergio- He handed me his hand and I shook it

-I’m Aminta but please call me Minty

-Ok Minty but I really like your name is pretty exotic

-Hahaha yeah exotic means weird right?- I realized that I had lost my ticket- Oh no! I lost my ticket

-What? What ticket?- I started looking on the floor and it was a few feet away from me

-This- I sighed in sign of relief- Thank god. Is the ticket for the Real Madrid game tomorrow

-Ohh so you are a Madridista?- He smiled and I knew then that he was too

-Yes and I’m very proud of that- I put the ticket inside of my back pocket

-Haha well I’m a very proud Madridista too and I’m going to the game tomorrow too

-Ohh I’m glad maybe I will see you there

-Yeah maybe- He stared at my eyes like he was trying to read my soul or something

-Well Sergio I really have to go is getting pretty late and I’m super tired- I gave a few steps forward

-Yeah me too- He took a finally look of my face and smiled

-Bye, have a great night- I waved and kept walking

This day have been pretty crazy for me I think that I haven’t realized yet that I met Karim Benzema and that he bought me a dress, it sounds pretty surreal. I got to my building finally, I opened the door of my apartment and gave a inviting look to my bed. I took the dress outside of the bag and put it in the closet near my Real Madrid jerseys.

I went to the bathroom and took a long and hot shower just to relax my muscles, I stepped out and for the first time in a really long time I saw a pretty looking girl in the mirror, I smiled. I put my pjs, they were all pink and with bunnies all around, it’s very comfortable. I grabbed my phone and decided to call my mom. They were at home eating barbecue with some of their friends, I swear that I could smell the smell of the meat on the barbecue but I was pretty sure it was the lack of sleep. I talked to my dad and told him that I bought my first ticket and he sounded pretty excited too, my little brother said he missed me and that he loves me I said I loved him too. I hang up and turned on the tv, I put sportscenter and saw that they were talking about Karim Benzema and the last I remember was his smile, his crocked smile.
