Declan Rice accidentally adds his sister Y/N to the England squad group chat. What starts as a mistake quickly turns into a daily exchange of sarcastic messages between Y/N and Jude Bellingham. The more they tease each other, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry growing behind the banter.
A month after Declan Rice accidentally adds his younger sister to the England group chat, Y/N and Jude Bellingham have become professional arguers. The team is convinced they’re flirting. They’re convinced everyone is delusional. Then Y/N accidentally sends a message meant for her friend — “he’s so annoying. and hot. ugh.” — to the entire squad. While the team desperately tries to figure out who she’s talking about, Jude gets unexpectedly jealous of a mystery guy who might not be so mysterious after all.
Y/N Rice has successfully kept her relationship with Jude Bellingham secret from everyone — including her brother Declan. But when Jude accidentally sends “Night baby ❤️” to the England team group chat, the squad starts connecting the dots.
Y/N Rice never expected her brother’s best friend to become the person she spoke to every day. But after one conversation turns into months of messages and post-match catch-ups, Jude Bellingham starts proving that the person Y/N sees in the mirror isn’t the person he sees at all.
After over a year together, Jude still hasn’t met Y/N’s parents. What he doesn’t know is that she’s not hiding him — she’s afraid of him getting hurt and losing him.
England’s team photographer and Jude Bellingham are just friends. At least that’s what they keep telling everyone — despite the constant banter, stolen camera equipment, and the entire squad placing bets on when they’ll finally admit otherwise.
Jude Bellingham has a habit of texting Y/N after matches. Usually it’s about training, tactics, or a result he can’t stop thinking about. But as England camp goes on, the conversations get longer, the messages get more personal, and Y/N starts to realise she’s become the first person he wants to talk to — whether the game went well or not.
For years, Y/N Rice has sent Declan the same good luck text before every match. One day, she accidentally sends it to Jude Bellingham instead. What begins as a simple mistake turns into an unexpected tradition, late-night conversations, and a secret friendship that grows stronger with every game. The only problem? Declan has no idea his sister and teammate have been talking every day.
Y/N accidentally sends Jude Bellingham a screenshot of herself calling him attractive. What should have been the most embarrassing moment of her life turns into a full-blown texting war, because Jude refuses to let her forget it. Now every conversation is filled with teasing, flirting, and one very smug footballer who suddenly has proof that she likes him.
Y/N’s new neighbour is kind, funny, and always happy to help. He also happens to be Jude Bellingham. While everyone else sees one of England’s biggest football stars, Y/N pretends she has absolutely no idea who he is—even though she’s been cheering him on for years. Maybe getting to know each other as neighbours is better than meeting as a fan.
