113 To the Ruta Arena II

Kristin Stein arrived at the Ruta Arena just as the Rosenborg players were entering the dressing room. "You see, we're late because of your dilly-dallying," she said, using the Norwegian language. "I have even failed to catch a glimpse of the players before they could enter the dressing room."

"Relax," Monica Rønning, a slim dark-haired girl who was her flatmate, said in response. "We still have an hour to the start of the game. What use is there in seeing the players before the start of the match?"

Kristin sighed, shaking her head. "What do you know? I wished to get an autograph from Mike Jensen and Nicki Nielsen before the start of the game. They are the two new stars of our team. But now, I've already missed out."

Monica frowned on hearing that. "You're hopeless," she said. "Can't you ask that neighbor of ours to get you the autograph? I've seen you talking to him on multiple occasions. Why don't you ask him to help?"
