Heart Pumping, I select to go to the college of Oregon! (Or as you may know them, the home of the Oregon Ducks)
I'm a top prospect around the country
Alot of pressure for a kid
Hope I can make it
Present time
I call my mom
Mom : "Whatcha thinkin' about there hun?"
Me : "Oh nothing, really. Just trying to figure things out."
Mom : "What do you mean?"
Me : " Well when I picked to go to Oregon, alot of news reporters started gathering around my dorm, and not only that, they follow me on all social media platforms, and I didn't even disclose that stuff."
Mom : "Well that's usually how that goes. When I was a track runner I got so popular the pressure almost made me faint, but after a while I learned that it's just because they want to see your potential. So you go out there and practice hard! Also get those high grades for mom! Love you!"
Me : "Love you too mom."
Me : Aw, she's sleeping (referring to my gf) Guess I should be quiet then.
Her : "You going out?"
Me : "You're awake? Also I'm going out for a team meeting/practice."
Her : "Well pay attention, love you, I'm going back to sleep tho."
Me *starts laughing* "Ok babe love you too."
I put the keys in the ignition and we get the ball rolling with some jazz on the radio.
I pull up to the sub classroom that we use for meetings.
Me : Ok, so, first we're practicing, then we'll go to a team meeting. Got it.
You hear a coaches whistle behind the building where the field is.
Me : Looks like I need to go!
5 Minutes Later
*Whistle blows* Coach : "ALRIGHT WOMEN. IT'S TIME FOR HITTING DRILLS. WE'LL DO SAFETY VS. LINEBACKER.
My matchup comes up
In mind : This scrawny guy, no way I lose this. I don't even have to get low.
Coach : ON MY WHISTLE YOU GO. 1.2. *Whistle blows*
You go for the hit, and..
YOU GET KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT
In mind : Didn't expect that. Wow. I'm out cold.
In the meeting
Coach : "Okay sissies, today's practice was rough, so extra sprints at tomorrow's, got it?
All players : "Yes sir." In a gloomy way.
In mind : How. The. Fuck. Did that little scrawny guy knock me out? Huh, guess that's why he's OUR STARTER LINEBACKER?!
OC (Offensive Coach) : Alright I want all offensve players to round up over here, but qb's over there. *Points*
DC (Defensive Coach) : I want all defensive player over here. NOW. Safeties over there *Points*
I go over to where he points
DC : You got CLEANWIPED TODAY SON! GET STRONGER RIGHT NOW! GIVE ME 100!
I drop and do 100 pushups, as asked.
