Chapter Two | The Last Game


East Side Energizers: 07
Ocean Cityeratives: 14

It's the second quarter the Energizers are down by 7; the Coach called a timeout. "Gentleman we're slacking out there but I'm going to try something different. Derek, I want you running 'Pentagon'. Ya'll memorize the play right." A series of "Yes" follow so Coach brings the team into a group hug shouting "1...2...3 Energizers. Let's go."

On the field everyone is in position, Derek shouts, "LINCOLN 80, LINCOLN 80 SET HUT!" and with that, the Center passes the ball to Derek who is looking for the open man. The play is going as planned, everyone is in position #15 and #4 have a clear path to the end zone but instead of following through Derek tries to run it.

He performs a stutter-step but is taken aback by Brandyn Flynn. The commentators surprised by the easy play practically yell into the microphone, "Pressure coming right up the middle and it's Flynn with the sack. Completing rocking his entire world."

"Bro, you knew the play was stupid, the fuck is wrong with you? Get out of your head. We gotta game to win." "What Julian?"

"I was WIDE open but you knew that didn't you?" he says with his helmet now removed.

"If he keeps talking I will for real clock this Nigga. Shut up, Julian."

"Oh, so you too good to talk to me now?"

"Nah. I'm just focused." He says removing his helmet.

"You're not if you making horrific fucking plays. Bro what's good with you."

"If you get off my dick then maybe I wouldn't be so pressed. Then again that's probably what you want, isn't it? Fucking-"

"Pussy. Yeah, you a pussy that's why you quiet all of a sudden."

"Watch your mouth."

"Oh yeah."

"Yeah," Derek says stepping closer to the other male and looking him directly in the eye with a straight face. That's when Julian shoves him with enough force he is knocked to the ground but he gets up quickly - angry and irritated. It all happened so quickly, in one sweeping motion Derek's fist connected with the other man's cheek. Within seconds Julian is on the floor, bleeding from a nasty laceration on his cheekbone which is already bruising.
