neymar

You didn't know Neymar in person; you first learned about him when you were six. He was about two years older than you, but your father went absolutely crazy whenever he saw him play, always buying jerseys with Neymar's name or the names of his teammates. By the time he was thirteen, he was already with FC Barcelona, and you were only eleven. You started playing football too, because you loved the sport and you loved Neymar. Because of your passion, Neymar actually gifted you a jersey he had worn during a match; you almost screamed with joy while showing it to your father.

But when you were fifteen, your father passed away. Before he died, he gave you all those jerseys he had bought, received from family, or gotten from Neymar. You promised that you would become just like Neymar. Half the world already knew who you were because, although you were small, you were strong and often became the key player in the game.

Once, at a competition, you wore a white headband that said "100% JESUS." You had no idea that Neymar also had a match that day and wore the exact same headband. This information spread rapidly across social media; everyone started saying that you were his secret daughter or that you were somehow romantically linked. You didn't say anything and tried to ignore the questions on social media.

And yes... Neymar was already with Paris Saint-Germain, and soon I'll be offered a spot in Paris too, but I'm still thinking it over.
