Expectations Expectations Expectations !!!!!!!!!
My whole life revolves around one word —Expectations. All people in my life including my parents, teachers, friends and basically everyone wants me to fulfil all their expectations in return of nothing.
I am called as the perfect boy in my family. Which I never really want to be tagged as because being perfect is a big burden. You have to think about consequences before even doing a small thing.
I am really good at sports since childhood. But I'm not a stupid sporty guy with no brains instead I'm a guy who is smart,handsome ,good in studies, a debater and one who can get everything he wants.
I only love and enjoy playing football and the other activities are the ones which i have to do to uplift my parents ego in their high society where they can show-off about their only son.
Currently i am driving early to school for football practice. I am already late and i know scolding is on it's way as I'm one of the best players on the team and this type of behaviour is not acceptable . The stereo of my Jaguar is bursting music which was probably added by one of my friends and I hate it. Seriously it is the type of song some early teen listens just because of the bass of song.
My phone buzzed and gave a smile on my face as it was a message from a person who can be called a friend, Harry. He has been with me since junior year and he is the person everyone wants to be friends with.
He is asking if I'm alright and if I can make it to practice but he is not aware about the reason for getting late. It was the conversation with my parents at breakfast which was basically related to their expectations for me to get in the top university for higher studies.
I don't want to think about it again so I turn the music louder.
–•—•—•–
Fortunately, today coach was late and that saved me from the scolding. I talked to my friends and after some warm up and intense playing we all took a break and sat on the bleachers.
"What could have been the reason coach is late today. He's always comes before the time of practice" Harry asked. Some other boy replied "Its strange!! It must've been something important". "Talk of the devil" I said as i saw coach approaching us in hurry.
" Hurry up boys. Bring up your asses here". I smirked on his hypocrisy and started moving towards him. All boys gathered in front of him. The coach started saying "I've a very important news for you all. It can be a big opportunity if you take it seriously.I was talking to officials of Yales university and they're coming to see your match before winter break and you can be selected for....................." he was still speaking but my gaze suddenly shifted towards the right where I saw the guy who returned my bracelet at the coffee shop yesterday and with him was a beautiful girl who was around his height. They both were in a hurry.
I don't know why I am not able to shift my gaze from them. I was thinking about the probable reason to it when the coach suddenly yelled " Anthony!!!are you even listening to me" with an angry look " Please be serious for this one. It can be life changing for you." I nodded and said " I just zoned out. I'm sorry "
Then I heard someone saying "you better be" in a low voice. I really didn't want to fight at this time when it was the first day of school. But being popular it was necessary. I was going to give him an answer but the coach interrupted me by saying " Enough of you guys. See you tomorrow" and he started walking towards his office.
I took a moment to glare at the person who commented on me previously and the glare was returned with another one of the same intensity.
The person is one who always gets on my nerves. He is the one who hates me for no reason. Nearly everyone wants to be friends with me but he is the perfect definition of what type of person i don't in my life. Not even the slightest. GEREMY OAKLY. Geremy fucking oakly. He is good in football but he is the best in irritating and annoying me.
