Homecoming Pt. 1

Khalil 80

I was completely and utterly bored we had got back to Houston about two week ago and my house was empty, Devin drove to Austin to hang out with Antonio, while Enzo had came and picked up Legacy yesterday to take him to San Antonio, Cam was missing his girl so he went back to Miami for a few weeks but he'd be back later tonight and Marcus..... well Marcus was back in San Antonio as well filling out some paperwork or something. I sat in my living room looking at the blank t.v. screen, listening to the deafening sound of silence throughout my house, truthfully it sounded weird I was so use to having a house full of people, constantly moving around that I strange. I knew I had to get out the house so I grabbed my keys and drove to my team practice facility, even though most of the veteran players didn't have to report in until the end of July some of them like to go watch the rookies practice and help out when they needed it. I walked inside the building and walked toward the practice field, instantly I was impressed to one of the rookies who had just made an almost impossible one handed catch.

"He's pretty good isn't he?" My teammate Jones said walking over to me. I shook my head and kept watching.

"So is there any body worth talking about yet?" I asked never taking my eyes off the practice.

"Well so far only two of them have made an impression on me one good and the other not so much. The dude that just made the one handed catch Tion Hayes he's pretty legit, I've talk to him a few times he seems like he's a good kid, real quiet and he listens to criticism he takes what people tell him and fixes it right away I doubt we'll have any problems with him." He said pointing at Hayes. "Now the other one...... he's a showboat, cocky ass hell, in his own mind he can't do no wrong and boy does he have a temper even worse than yours when you first got here, but even I can tell he's talented." Jones said pointing at the brown skin dude and I could tell just by looking at him I might have to say something to him before this season even began, just by the way he talked to the people around him.

"So what's his name?" I asked looking at the dude as he started to show off.

"Victory Miles he went to the same college you went to, how do you not know that?" Jones asked laughing.

"Man I've been too busy to pay attention to college football, besides just watching makes me remember when we played for something more important than money, we played for pride and it was actually fun, it makes me kinda miss it." I said quietly.

"So how's your leg? You think you'll be able to play at the start of the season?" Jones asked.

"It healed up nicely, I 'm praying that I get to play I would hate for one of these rookies to take my spot. Which position do the two you pointed out play?" I asked.

"Hayes is a wide receiver and Miles plays the same position as you, tight end." He said and I let it sink in damn I was really out of the loop, I stayed and watched them practice until the end and started to leave, I was hungry and Marcus was already on his way to the house when I was almost to my car the dude Miles ran up to me.

"Hey what's up I'm Vic.... I saw you watching me practice what did you think?" He asked smiling in my face.

"Yeah I saw you and if I'm completely honest then truthfully you need a lot of work." I said just trying to get under his skin.

"Well since we play the same positions then maybe you can show me some of your moves I mean since we are on the same team." He said with a sneaky grin, I stood there trying to figure out if he was flirting with me and before I could think too much on it my stomach started rumbling and phone started ringing.

"Look it was nice to meet you but I'm hungry and I'm not trying to be here any longer." I said starting to walk away again. 

"Oh aight but before you go can I just say that I grew up watching you play, hell you are the reason I went to Notre Dame in the first place. I just hope we can hang out off the field I feel like I can learn a lot from you." He said smiling.
