Chapter 3: Duke, Here I Come!

Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential - Winston Churchill

Today is the day. I just can't believe that right now I'm here, standing solidly in Duke University. I need to get my facts straight. I'm Leon Richardson, a soccer player. Not Leah the nerdy girl from L.A.

"Hey there! What's up?"

There is a boy, with brown hair, green eyes, pinky small lips, standing in front of me with both of his hands inside his jeans pocket. He put a smile on his cheeky face while his deep green eyes looking straight at me.

"Are you talking to me?", I ask him back. While pointing my finger to my chest.

"Ahaa, yes I am. Why are you acting like you don't know me, Leon? Is this another kind of joke you trying to pull? If it is, I'm gonna tell you that it's ain't funny", he told me while his eyes are squinting towards me.

"Haha. It's not like that. It's just that I had a concussion during the semester's break. It made me loss a part of my memory and unfortunately, you are one of it. Because your face doesn't ring a bell to me." I try to convince him with this 'memory loss' excuse. I hope he took the bait.

"Nevermind. I hope you are getting better. So because you didn't know who I am right now, due to your some kind of 'memory loss', which I thought kind of fishy, we can start to introduce ourselves like the first time we met." He inhales a deep breath before continuing his words.

"I'm Damion Fitzgerald. We are teammates", he held out his hands to me.

I grabbed his hands and shake it.

"I'm Leon Richardson. Nice to meet you."

We both burst out in laughter. Even though he knows that I lied to him about the 'memory loss' thing, he just play along with my lies. What a relief. If not, I don't know what kind of other lame excuses I would giving to him.

"Where is your room? Mine is in Alpha Block, room 208." He told me while both of us walking towards the boys dormitory compound.

"Err mine is in Alpha Block too. Room 112."

He continued to chew his bubble gum hard and smiles."Sweet. We are in the same block. Hey, how about going for a pizza tonight at Papa Marco? Our teammates will be there too."

Maybe this is a good opportunity for me to get to know the others. Their names to be precise. I don't want to blow my cover by minor problems such as forgetting my teammates names.

"Okay. Count me in." I replied.

"Okay dude. 8pm, Papa Marco. Don't be late, or else you'll be paying for the meals", he chuckled before leaving to his room.
