[The school bell ringing for closing time]
Lefah and Garriso were about to leave their classroom for home, but they wanted to visit Miss Madison, the high school principal in her office, before they left home. So, Lefah called Garriso when he was picking his books back in his bag and said,
" Hey bro, why don't we go and greet Miss Madison in her office before we leave home."
"Oh, I see, but I thought you never liked the principal. Or?"
"Not that, Garriso. Yeah, I never liked her, but that was the first time in her office bro. Like she was rude and bad looking, bro."
"Yeah bro. You are right. So, do you like her now?"
"Maybe. Hey, let's pass by her office just to say thank you for helping us talk to Miss Anna. That's all. And nothing like I want us to go to her office to visit her as our friend or something bro."
"Okay Lefah. And I think you have a point, my man."
"Sure."
"So, what are we waiting for bro. Let's start going now."
"Yes, let's run fast to her office now, master planner."
Lefah and Garriso wanted to see Miss Madison in her office and say another thank you for her supporting and also talking to Miss Anna about them playing football and also supporting their dream of playing. Immediately, they opened the classroom door, they saw Henry, the team captain. Levi, the assistant team captain and some other boys who are also part of the high school's football team. So, immediately Lefah and Garriso saw them coming, Garriso smiled and said,
"Hey bro. Your friend is coming. Just turn your back slowly and look at him. Talking to the other girls over there."
"Like demn! Who's that, my friend? It's Henry? No Garriso. That fool can never be my friend."
"Hey but I think Coach Wilson, talked to us respectfully yesterday at the training ground that we should love and care for each other just like family."
"Yeah, and do you think that boy has changed?"
"Hey, I don't trust Henry, but let's forget about yesterday and focus on tomorrow bro."
"Hey, I don't even have time for Henry's dream bro. Let's pass the other door to Miss Madison's office or let's get back to class before they see us bro."
"No bro. Hey, that's fine if you don't trust Henry. But let's go our way to the head office and pretend we didn't see them because their backs are facing us. And they are even busy talking to the other girls."
"Hey, what if they see us?"
"Oh, whatever Lefah. And what if we run, and they see us? Don't you think Henry and his boys will think we are afraid of them? That's why I don't want us to keep hiding or running away. And for how long will we keep running away from someone who is our team captain? And, besides, we are also attending the same school. Hey, this whole thing does make sense, my man. Let's roll on our way, my man."
"Hmm Okay. I understand bro. But just hoping Henry won't try anything stupid."
"And what will make you think Henry won't? We knew Henry before joining the high school's football team. How Henry is annoyed and his misbehaving attitude towards students. Henry never looks like a leader, but he knows how to play football in this school, which makes him the team captain. Why don't we ignore his dream, and I think that'll help, bro."
"Okay if you say so bro. Let's start going our way now. It's late already."
"Yeah, my man."
[Classroom door closed]
Lefah and Garriso close the classroom door and start walking towards Henry, Levi and the other players. Henry and his boys were busy talking to the girls. One player among them alerts Henry that Lefah and Garriso are coming, so, Henry should turn his back to look at them. Immediately, Henry saw Lefah and Garriso coming towards them. Henry smiled and started walking to Lefah and his best friend Garriso. Henry stopped them immediately he reached them with his boys. Henry laughed and started making fun of Lefah and Garriso and calling them some names.
"Hey, that's my two Muffins. What's up dudes? How was your training yesterday? Hey, my two pumpkins, hope you guys really enjoyed training yesterday, right?"
[Garriso snickered and responded immediately to Henry.]
"Yeah. You know. That was really crazy amazing. You can even ask my brother."
"Henry turned to Lefah and asked," Hey Lefah. Is Garriso right? Or you didn't enjoy it? Just feel free and talk to me, my candy boy."
"Lefah smiled at Henry and said," Yeah captain. Yesterday's training was a really seriously amazing moment ever in my life. Like can't even imagine how I enjoyed my first time training."
[Lefah was smiling at Henry, but only Garriso knew what was going on in Lefah's mind at the moment. Yeah, Garriso knew Lefah was pretending just to make Henry's chats look like a more interesting story to tell after school.]
Garriso snickered immediately. Lefah responded back to Henry and said, "Hey, hope you heard my brother, right? Just like I told you already. We really enjoyed training yesterday."
[Henry wasn't smart enough to know Lefah and Garriso were just pretending to have his chat, but Henry took them seriously. Henry smiled again and said this with a surprise look on his face.] "Oh really? Like I thought you guys would be worried about how I treated you guys yesterday in training. But I can see you're not, right?"
Lefah smiled and said," Oh no captions. We got this. So, don't worry about us."
"Yes, my bro is right. We are cool, so there's nothing to worry about, captain." [Garriso]
[Levi smiled at Lefah and Garriso and said, "Aw, that's great, and we shouldn't be fighting with each other because we team now. And if we are a team, it means we are also family, just like Coach Wilson told us yesterday at the training ground. So, we should keep Coach Wilson's words in our minds and play just like family in this coming season's league."
