the eagles...

Exactly 9am, John and the coaching staff came down from their office.

Rome and others stopped what they were doing.

The volleyball and Abby split already and went to their court.

"Fellas. Hows ur weekend?"

"Alright coach."

"Good. I have announcement to make, we are going to Sacramento State this saturday. U wanna break even from them?"

"Yeah! We will kill them!"

"Im gonna get my revenge. Damn Princess."

This is what John wanted to see.

The motivation. Haha

"Then run if u want to beat them."

"Yes Coach!"

15 guys big and small started to run.

"Hey, what's the beef?" Rome called Stephenson, the center of the team.

" Swept us last season."

"All 7 games?" Rome surprised.

"Yeah."

"Damn. u guys suck." Rome said point blank.

Stephenson dont know whether use a left hook or right straight. sigh

"Stop talking people. Just run. Rome. Get ur white fat ass running."

David shouted.

The team mates gloated at him.

Rome smiled bitterly. Haha

"Im brown. Dammit."

At lunch when everybody just got out of shower, the lunch arrived.

Best sushi in town right at their door step.

All of them just grab it and returned to their dorms. They still have class and somewhere to be.

Its the usual stuff.

Free afternoon, he has nothing to do.

So he went home.

Feeling stuffy, he went out with no direction where to.

Then he found himself in Venice Beach.

Liking the free spirit and weird shit here, he just sits and observe the people.

Sinking in he is in US and he is a reborn dude.

"I must not get hypnotize for them to pry my brain. Or the Devil Fruit Tree or Kamar Taj arts or my genes. Shit."

Rome thot all of a sudden.

"I really haven't used Bad Luck. Shall I use it?"

Rome is surveying the people deserving bad luck but no one. Guess they are lucky? Hahaha

Passing the basketball court, he saw a familiar figure.

A fellow from the UCLA.

He also saw Rome.

"Yo, white boy."

"Man. Ur here." he doesn't want to explain again. It hurts his intelligence to argue.

Everyone also nodded to Rome from a far.

Martin is the guy who guarded him.

No hard feelings or whatever. Just play bball.

"U see guys, this white fat ass kid. His nickname is Splash, u know why? Haha." He passed the ball to Rome.

He is a talker. Rome knew because he kept on talking and talking at the court. Haha

Rome got the long ball.

"Show it man. Why u called Splash."

"Haha. Dollar, make it or not, from here."

Rome got bill.

"What u saying dawg. U asking for it."

One by one, they got dollar.

Rome flashed his 20.

Just having fun.

"Are we friends or enemy? why give me cigar money?"

he said to himself. hahaha

"Luck 100x."

Rome muttered in his heart.

Not shooting yet.

An eagle out of nowhere shit on him.

"Ughhhhh." Rome tasted his mouth and made ugly face.

Feeling a hard object in his mouth.

He spewed it.

"A diamond ring? FUKKK!"

Rome shouted.

Others step on shit and find gold.

He? He eats it.

Thats how brutal and alpha male Rome is.

And we dont even know where the Eagle came from.

Its just there..freeeaking plot armor.

Back to the more realistic fantasy. Sigh.

He looks at the light pose. Still has sour taste in his mouth. He spit once again.

"Guys, I'm gonna throw the ball up there."

He pointed at the post.

"Come on man. Dont mess around with ur 20."

"Watch brothers." Rome hurled the ball.

Pong!

It hit and bounced.

Bang bang bang.

It hit the court three times.

Swish

A perfect 45 degree angle.

"Ohhh!!!!!!"

"U sick man!!!"

"FUck!!"

The people watching the fun exploded.

"Hahaha. I told u so." He proud.

Rome raised his hand.

A ball passed to him.

He then threw it in the air so hard.

No matter what, because of the wind or gravity, the ball will always... SPLASH!!!!!

Looking at the ball so high.

It magically hit by the wind as it affected by gravity.

SPLASH!!!

"Damn!!!"

"Yo magician flesh man."

"Fuck!"

"Do it again man."

"Damn. U globetrotters shame."

At the end, Rome dab with all the guys.

Haha

The video of Rome went viral thru the night. Haha

"Mr Famous. Morning." Abby jumped to him to greet him with their handshake.

Its a thing they practiced few days ago. Haha

Always excited and so enthusiastic.

So positive. Yeah. She is always positive.

Lively, fun, sporty, and so smart as hell. And very quick witted and very opinionated.

She is a breathe of fresh air.

Because of her, there's no dull moment.

Its not hard to fall in love with her.

Rome didn't survived the first night they met not having feelings for her. Haha

That night, he knew he like her.

Not knowing what she meant.

"Mr Famous?"

"U got viral at Trojan's page, Ro."

Excited for Rome she is. hehe

"Is it good or bad to be famous? If girls will chase me, bad or good, Abb?"

He threw joke.

Abby dazed and confused. Not sure if she heard him right.

"Its bad for u if I know ur playing around with some chick. Good for u if I dont kill u right here and now." He flat voice.

Apparently she is annoyed by his joke.

Rome exploded by her reaction. Hahaha

Good start for both of them. Haha

"Haha. Im somewhat happy that ur jealous. Haha" he chided.

Abby still annoyed but smirked. The words are just right for each other.

"Yeah?"

"Hmm. Because that means u care for me. Come on." Rome pulled her and did not let go.

(ughhhh..These lines again. ughhhhh.)

Tall and taller, walking side by side holding hands and talking freely.

Individual training for Rome is weights and training his core and legs.

Especially his core because he was once a fatso, he needs to build strength.

If he turns his 100x Luck, no matter what, he won't really get hurt for anything. But he sure dont want another eagle.
