When Me And Dre Finna Left The Class From Alesha And Jessica We Were The Last People To Walk Into Coaches Room With All The Other Players. Everyone Dapped Us Up And Gave Their Head Nods As Coach Continued To Go Over The Strategy For The Game.

"I Have To Inform Everyone That Sean, Or Quarterback Will Not Be Able To Play Today Because Of An Illness. So Our Quarterback Will Be DJ, And We Will Alternate Him At Running Back And Quarterback."

Everyone Gave There Objections Because Of The Fact That All These Scouts Were Here To See Me Play Running Back, Not Quarterback. I Would Be Taking Less Plays Doing Both. I Didn't Say Anything Because I Knew Where Coach Was Coming From. I Was Better Than Sean At Playing Quarterback Anyway, But I Chose To Play Running Back.

"I Don't Need Nobody's Opinion On How To Coach My Team. DJ Knows Exactly What To Do." He Said Looking At Me. I'm Glad That Coach Has The Confidence In Me To Trust Me Just Like I Do Him. If He Thinks I'll Be Okay Playing Both Tonight Then I Trust Him. He's The Adult Figure That I've Missed In My Life Since My Dad Been Gone. I Wanted To Get Everybody Head Together Because I Understand Wanting What's Best For Me But We Want Wins Over Anything. Only Me, Dre, And Coach Stayed Quiet.

DJ

"Ey All Y'all Chill Out Wit That! I Got This! I Preciate All Y'all Tryin Ta Do, Frfr, But I Won't Tolerate That Disrespectful Shit Toward Coach. I Know He Bout Two Seconds From Only Playing Me And Dre. I Know Right Now That He'll Send Us Two Out Against Eleven Of Them Without Thinking Twice, And I Swear On My Daddy Rest In Peace Ery Last One In Ha Gone Catch My Hands Fa Dat! Now We Out Here To Get Wins. I Know That's What Coach Out Here To Do, I Know That's What Dre Out Here To Do, I Know That's What I'm Out Here To Do. I'm Trynna Win State. I Wanna Be A Champion. I Wanna Bring Y'all Wit Me Ta Be Champions, But That Right There I Ain't Goin Fa. Got Me Out Ha In My Accent Ova Nothin."

Everyone Was Quiet While I Sat Down. Dre Was Cheesin At Me Like A Dumbass. He Started Laughing And So Did I. Everyone Joined In As Coach Looked At Me. I Knew He Was Seconds From Going Off So I Did It For Him.

Coach Causey

"Quiet." Everyone Stopped Immediately. "Now Everyone Knows The Starting Lineup With DJ Starting First At Quarterback. When He's Not In It Will Be Our Newest Player Cameron White. He Has Been Briefed On The Gameplan And I Want You Guys To Trust Him Like He's Been Here Since Week One." Everyone Nodded And I Looked At Him Like I've Seen Him Before. Dre Looked Like He Had Before An Then I Noticed.
He Was The One That Beat Dre A Couple Days Ago During Lunch When I Threw Him That Touchdown. I Started Laughing As Dre Noticed It To And He Looked Hot Asf.

Coach Causey

"What's Funny?" He Said, As I Stopped Laughing. I Looked At Dre And He Said No.

DJ

"Dre Got Burnt On Monday By Your Newest Recruit." I Said Laughing.

Coach Causey

"Is That Right? Then Maybe He Should Play Receiver Too." He Said As Dre Sat Up.

Dre

"Don't Play Me Coach. You Wrong Fa Dat." Coach Laughed At Him Before He Stood Up.

Coach Causey

"Alright. We Gonna Get Out Of Here. Imma Let Y'all Go Eat, Chill Out, Relax, Because I Want A Win And Let Me Not Get A Win Tonight And Imma Get One On Saturday. Get Me My Win Tonight And Get Your Win Tomorrow Is All I'm Gonna Say. It's Three Thirty Now. We Run Through Some Plays At Five On The Dot And Game Starts At Seven. Now Get Outta My Face So I Can Eat And Take Care Of Business." He Said Walking To His Desk Grabbing A Subway Sandwich Bag. Everyone Stood Up And Made There Way Out As Me And Dre Took A Seat On The Couch Next To Coaches Desk And Cameron Stayed In His Seat Going Over The Playbook.
