The Lost Four Sword Stories

Being Football Captain is Tough! Ben's Story.

“Okay team, this Friday is the game against our toughest adversaries, the Leopards, but we can beat em', right?!”

“Right!”

“I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!” I shout.

“RIGHT!!!!!!!!”

“THAT'S-”

“Hey where do I sign up?!” We all look at a brunette boy with brown eyes, a brownish yellow shirt, blue jeans, and gray shoes, he looks fourteen.

“Over here.” I say.

“I'm Calvin, I wanna be on the football team.” I smile at Felix.

“Then why not tryout now?” I smirk.

(After his tryout.) We walk over to him and smile. “You're on the team.”

“Yes!”

“This is Felix, this is Ethan, this is Kyle, this is Tom, and I'm Ben. The captain.”

“You're the captain? But you look younger then these guys, I thought for sure it'd be Felix.”

“I don't like to brag but Coach Barker says I exceed the others so he made me captain, and sure as heck I keep up the hard work.”

“Then overthrowing a squirt like you will be even easier, once you mess up, I'll be assigned captain and you'll be on rock bottom. The game they were talking about will be a perfect opportunity.” He whispers it, so quietly the others wouldn't hear, and covers his mouth in an unsuspecting way, but thanks to my pointed ears with their special hearing, I hear it loud and clear.

“Hmm?” I lift my ears a little, did he seriously say that?

“I didn't say anything.” The school bell signaling school's out for the day rings. “Well see ya tomorrow.” As the others walk off I cross my arms.

“So you wanna overthrow me, eh? Since I know that's gonna be way harder than you think.” I start off to the front of the school. I meet up with Ricky, Vector, Gerry and Storm, who are listening to Vector ramble on about his outgoing science partner.

“This time he mixed together two nitrites with alumina, and of course it started bubbling, he ducked under the table and it exploded and then I had to back in that hot shower again.”

“Poor Vector.” Ricky says.

“That's what you get for taking science class.” Storm says, wrapped up in his book.

“Hey guys.” They all look at me, well, except Storm.

“Hey Ben.” They say.

“So what should we do today?” Gerry asks.

“Storm's roommate and him have to do something so we won't be seeing Storm.”

“Mom scheduled a doctor's appointment for me, she doesn't think these science explosions are good for my health...” Vector mumbles.

“I have to train with the guys for football later, we're meeting back here, we need to be top game when we face the Leopards.” I say.

“What about you Ricky? You have work too?”

“No, I'm free for the day. We could go fishing!...... But not at that one lake..... Storm almost got ate by a fish.....”

(Flashback)

Instead of him jerking the fish, he was almost yanked in by the fish, another yank and he almost went in if not for me catching him, we yanked until we managed to tie the line around a nearby tree. “It's strong for a wee fish!” The rod suddenly jerked Storm into the water, a fish jumped out with Storm in it's mouth and he broke free by kicking it and we left.
