Ch-7, Football Ground
The school was over and the final bell has rung. It was time for me to give my football trials which were going to happen after school. I was new there and did not had any idea what was going on. I saw a guy calling out names for the trials and went up to him. "Hi. I am Adam. Are you taking the trials?" "30 rounds of the court now." " Excuse me." I asked with total amusement. "Can't you hear me? 30 rounds of the court." " But.." " No buts, just do as I say. And after all it is your choice to grab the opportunity and there are only 2 minutes left for the trials. So the ball is in your court, 30 rounds or out of court." He glared at me and asked me to run 30 rounds. My inner conscience said, " Show him what you can do." I ran with full my strength. I was tired and was panting a lot. I might have taken minimum of 10 minutes and not more than that. " Done." "Hmm 30 rounds in 9 minutes 40 seconds. That's impressive. So, I think you can be our spot boy for today." He grinned widely. " What?" This man was unbelievable.
After 30 minutes.
"Hey spot boy, bottle please." A short heighted boy asked me for bottle and was drenching in sweat. "Take it on your own." I spat back on him.
I was very angry on that guy. How can he do this with me? I am Adam Mathews, who was the star player and the captain of his football team in his old school and now here I am from being a captain to a spot boy."
"You all performed very well. But only top 10 players will get a chance to come in the team. So make sure to check the notice board tomorrow. Now go." I wish I could have also given the trials. All the boys left leaving just me and him. I was fuming in rage when he came and sat beside me.
"I think that you were spectacular today being a spot boy. But what you did with the short guy was not good. He is always very thirsty and.." He went on and on with his rant.
"Why?" I interrupted him. " What why," " Why did you not let me play. I did not do anything wrong and that making me do 30 rounds of the ground. Why?"
"Because you deserved it." " I deserved it??" He was surely playing some games with me and making me so confuse.
"We will talk in the car. Come on I will drop you home." " No I am fine." " Oh come on." He used both his hands and pulled me in the upwards direction so that I can stand. " Fine." I said defeatingly.
I was sitting in the car for more than an hour and still both of us haven't spoken a word yet. "So, where is your home?" He broke the silence. "From here, take right then left." "That address sounds familiar." " Familiar, why?" " Because you are my neighbor. And now, we have reached our destination."
I am his neighbor. What the sause?
Sause, seriously Adam!!
"Oops! Your house is locked and I know you would be having the key but for now, please come to my house. My sister will make us both a strong coffee if you like that." He said looking at my locked house and offered me to come to his house and have coffee with him and that also strong which I love a lot.
"No, no." " Please." He urged so I had to go with him.
He knocked on the door for five minutes but still there was no response.
"I am sorry, sorry sorry. I was in the washroom and then.. You." "You."
We met again.
Question of the day: Whom do you think was the boy who was troubling Adam and why does Adam says "we met again"?
