A couple of days later, I’m on my way to training. All the way to the bus stop, I keep looking behind me. This stuff with Forest has got me really stressed. It doesn’t matter what I’m thinking about, he’s always there, at the back of my mind.

It’s like he’s watching over me. The worrying thing is, I can actually imagine him standing over me in the middle of the night. With an axe in one hand and a chopped off head in the other. I know – I’ve seen too many horror films. I should probably watch some of those soppy, romantic films Wheeler loves so much, where he gets all his hints about how girls’ minds work.

But Forest doesn’t jump out on me and I get to Samuels Park without being attacked. At training, Liam sorts us into two teams and we have a kick about. I’m on the same side as Ryan and Ollie which is cool with me. We make a pretty good team.

The problem is my head is all over the place, with Lauren and Forest. Which means my feet are all over the place too!

Ryan bursts through from defence with the ball and slides the ball across the goal. It’s a tap-in. All I have to do is get a toe on it. And I do. Right over the bar. I fall onto the grass like someone has shot me. Pretty embarrassing. I pick myself up and wipe the grass from my T-shirt. I can see Ryan, smiling, shaking his head.

“Good effort,” he says sarcastically.

I grunt, take it on the chin. “Thanks.”

On the way home from training, I’m still embarrassed about that miss. The lads are never going to let me forget it.
