"Yo Cap! Come on, wake up man!" Blake burst through my door interrupting my wonderful and peaceful sleep. "What the hell Blake! Can't you let me sleep." I groaned. "Sorry but no cap you gotta see this, some michigan assholes screwed with our lion statue. It's disgusting and disrespectful, might I add." Michigan assholes, lion statue. Oh shit! I must not have been dreaming then. "Oh that." I said. He furrowed his brow, "Oh that. Oh that!? You know about it?!" He asked, flabbergasted. I got up from the bed, "Yup and not just that, I saw it happen too." I answered and disappeared into the bathroom. Blake rushed after me, I managed to close the door before he got in. "Cap what do you mean? You can't  just leave the story like that bro! Come on! Get out!" He started knocking on the door. "Later!" I shouted and took a nice cold shower.

I got out of my room with a towel in my hand drying my hair. Only to come across 3 pairs of eyes, staring the life out of me in the living room. "Ready to share now Cap?" Blake asked, while Asher and Cody continued the staring game. Now that I got a good look at them, I just realised. "Did you all just get back? You're wearing the same clothes as yesterday when you guys left for the party." Cody groaned, "Don't change the subject William Casey Lohrei. But yes, we would still be at the twin's if we didn't see ALL the tweets. Everywhere." I took a seat beside Blake on the sofa, now we are all gathering in the living room at 6 in the morning to discuss this issue. "Ok so Cap, who was the michigan fucker who did that? Please tell me it was Shane Wyatt. So that I can hit and crush him hard later." I laughed and they started looking frustrated, this is gonna be great.

"Well it will be nice for you guys to know that it's none of them." Their jaws dropped to the floor. "You know what's better, it was a girl." They seemed to not believe me because their mouths were still wide open. "A girl? You sure it wasn't a guy with long hair?" Cody asked. "Oh I'm sure." I replied. So dead sure. "Do you think those stupid guys paid her to do it?" I smirked, "Blake you see that's what I thought but guess what? When I asked her why she did it, she said it was because we suck and that they rule." They all muttered "No way" because come on who would believe it. "So you just gonna let her be?" Asher asked. I laughed sinisterly, "Don't worry, when the time comes I know what to do with her." They nodded and agreed with me. I turned back to the three of them, "Get out of here and get ready! We are leaving at 7." and they rushed out of the living room.

After they got ready, we left slightly before 7 to make our way to our Lasch Football Building, to meet with Coach and the rest of the team to discuss last minute tactics and watch more of our past game's tapes before we had to get ready for the game. Once we reached the meeting room, Coach Reeves called me to follow him into his office. I'm pretty sure I already know what this meeting or talk would be about. We both took our seats and I started asking, "Sup Coach?" He stared blankly at me, "I assume you already know what's going on?" I sighed, "You're talking about the statue right?" He nodded, "Yup I do." He shook his head, "the boys are not happy about it, they are furious and I don't want that to affect their game, so I want you to make sure you get everybody's head in the game, because this game is our most important Lohrei and we need to win this, especially after that nuisance they pulled last night. You are their captain, they will listen to you. Calm them down, encourage them and get them absolutely fucking ready for the game." Coach Reeves' words spurs me on. Coach has to be one of the most influential people in my life. His words have always made me work harder and prove myself more. I got out of Coach's office and got back into the meeting room where I could hear the guys talking about the vandalism case.

"Ok Ok! Listen up! Chill out guys." I shouted. The way I could hear them talking about a girl suggests to me that those 3 dickheads have already shared the story instead of waiting for me to tell the rest of the team. "Looks like you guys already know the perpetrator." I turned to Blake, Asher and Cody, "Thank you so much assholes." and they started laughing. I turned back to the rest of the team, "I get it, you guys are upset. Guess what I felt when I saw it live. Instead of us bitching around like girls in the meeting room, we are gonna show them on the field. We are going to show them what Penn State is made of. We are gonna rub their faces on our grass and we will use this to show them never to mess with us and that WE RULE AND THEY SUCK!" I screamed and the rest of the guys screamed along with me. I needed them to be hype and to use this as a motivation, it will not help if they feel bad about it. "But hear me out ok? No fights ok. We are better than them. We will win and kill any chances of them making it to the National Championships." They nodded signalling that they agreed with me. Coach walked in a while later, made eye contact with me and smiled when he saw the changes in the team's attitude. He walked to the front and we continued what we were supposed to do. Prepare for the big game.
