"Ah man! I'm fed up with that chick already."

My attention directed towards the girl Eric was talking about. His girl-of-the-week was waving at him with bustling excitements from the front row seats of the stadium. Poor girl, she was about to receive her first real heartbreak.

For the past sixty minutes, we have being practicing and training for our upcoming football match with a rival school. I've being missing the points because I was eager to meet Daisy and know if the baby was okay. Damn, its hard to believe I'm getting attached to the baby I'm not sure was mine.

"Hudson, are you sure you're okay? You seemed distant during the match." Coach Dawson said, his eyes filled with little concern.

I bowed my head in respect. "Yes coach, just a little headache."

Liar.

He patted me on the shoulder strongly. "Go home and take care of yourself, son. I don't want us to loose this march to our rivals. I want you to be strong, patriotic towards your school and competitive enough to beat them. You're not only our captain but the best we got. We can never win the march without you. Make us proud."

"Yes sir. I took a vow, and I don't intend on breaking it. I'll try my best." I replied.

He gave me a small smile before dropping his arms and walking away. Our coach had always being the best. Although he's tough and strict, he's an amiable person. I like his excellent training and ambitions that always encouraged me to be more determined to win the match. I always get excited because I know I'll win but lately, I can't stop thinking about Daisy. Since my little chat with Jupiter during lunch, I couldn't wait for school to end to call Daisy.

"Babe!" Eric's girlfriend flung her arms at him, catching him off guard.

"I've being texting you all day, babe. You did amazing during the practice! I'm so proud of you!" She gushed.

Eric was having none of it. It's time for the heartbreaking breakup. Normally, he ended it by just sending a text to the girl but this one, she's way too clingy.

Eric rarely put on a serious look. He always had a cocky demeanour and was all about making people laugh but when he change the mood, something's definitely wrong. He pushed her hands away, stepping back from her. "Look Marley..."

"The name's Harley." She said with a frown.

Obviously, he's having a hard time keeping himself composed. When Eric turns to a serious mood, he looks more intimating and matured. "We can't continue this relationship. I told you from the beginning that I don't stick around. I'm just young, not ready to commit. We've already talked about this and you agreed."

She nodded her head in agreement. "But we started dating two days ago. I thought I could charm you into falling in love with me. Just give it a try, darling."

"I'm... sorry. Take care of yourself and have fun. It's over." Before she could say anything, he walked away.

Maya and her friends, who were all sitting at the stadium seats laughed at them. Countless times, Maya had to deal with girls breaking down to her about how her best friend hurt their feelings. My sister being very close to Eric was used as a way to get both Eric and I. They'd buy her expensive gifts and send to her, hoping she could recommend them to us.

"Dude, let's go change. Unless you want to watch a movie scene unfold," said Eddy, a friend of mine.

"Are you trying to make a monkey out of Eric?" Shawn laughed humorously at the joke.
