Skaters 101 (but without the skating)

The origins of Boccer

Light streamed in through the windows, as Javier rose up from his bed. His bed, that was positioned just under the window, and he could hear the birds twittering outside on the tree branch about his muscles.

It was going to be a great day, and Javier could feel it in his veins, no, muscles.

"It's a Saturday!" Javier realized.

The day had just got better.

Straight away, he reached for his phone and pressed on his new friend's telephone number.

"Hello?"

A few moments later...

Ding Dong!

Javier rushed to open the door, excited to see his friend.

"Yuzuru!"

He exclaimed when he opened the door and threw his arms around the bewildered Asian who in turn, awkwardly patted his back.

"Uh... Javier-san?"

He asked, and Javier released him from the tight hug.

Yuzuru stood still for a few seconds, taking in the walls filled with posters of Superman.

"You like Superman?"

He asked, and Javier nodded enthusiastically. "He's like the coolest hero in the world-"

"You sure your bunkmate wouldn't mind all these posters?" Yuzuru hesitated.

"Nah, he's not even here yet, so I have this place to myself."Javier shrugged.

"Same. I heard that my flatmate will arrive tonight, though, so I would have to pack up the place a bit." Yuzuru bit his lip, recalling how he had left an army of pooh bears strewn all over the floor.

"Anyway, who doesn't like Superman?" Javier laughed. "Come on in."

"And this is my bedroom." Javier led Yuzuru into another room.

Yuzuru's eyes widened as he saw all the weights littering the room. "You sure your bunkmate wouldn't mind all this? And what's this?" He went over to a big bouncy inflatable green ball.

"It's the one and only, big bouncy inflatable green ball! Why wouldn't someone want to have a big bouncy green inflatable ball!" Javier was speaking so quickly, he could have passed off for Enimem. 

"Interesting."

"Sometimes, when I get really mad, I use it as a soccer ball." Javier took a deep breath, and drew back his leg. With explosive power, he swung his leg and kicked the ball. Hard.

The ball ricocheted through the room, hitting the ceiling, the floor, the wall, and Yuzuru.

Yuzuru crumpled to the ground, screaming in Japanese and covering his face.

Javier ran over to Yuzuru. "I'm sorry Yuzuru! I didn't mean to hit you! I'm so sorry!!!"

Yuzuru stopped screaming and got to his feet. "It's ok Javier. I know you didn't. But next time, be more careful before you kick that ball."

Javier picked up a bunch of cards. "Wanna play something more harmless and wouldn't kill anyone?"

"Sure thing."

"Uno!" Shouted Yuzuru, slamming down a card.

"Plus 2? Yuzuru, you're mean." Javier pouted, and responded with another card. "Aha! Counterattack plus 2! Now you've gotta pick up 4 cards!"
