40 Yards

Wanting to become a striker, Byron Whitaker was hit with a dose of reality that told him that he wasn't adequate enough to be one. Due to this he is put as a central midfielder and that's where his talents truly shine, his passing, his stamina, his vision. All these things make him realize he was looking at the pitch with a closed mind. However, in this new position he can still achieve his dream, his dream of becoming a pro player. However, even though he accepted a position change, he would never give up his love for goals.

"So anyways long story short I wasn't selected in the regular lineup for the spring tournament but I still made the cut since I was selected as a sub for the first match. Which I have no problem with but I mean. For a jack of all trades such as myself. I really thought I was needed." Xavier said as he walked to a mirror.

"You know the other day I approached this girl from B class, Vivian was her name and I really liked her so I told her she should meet me after school and that I had something to tell her. Another long story short, she rejected me." Xavier applied cream on his face.

"What's my use to the team? long-term and short-term? hmm." Xavier wiped the cream off his eyes with a towel. "I can do everything required of me as a midfielder, I might not have a special trait like Benjamin or Shin but I know my strengths."

"If so why did Byron replace me on the team roster? that is a decision I don't fully understand but I don't believe Paul would do anything without reason. He must already have a plan in mind for the match against Luthervale."

"Jack of all trades master of none." Xavier looked at his reflection in the mirror. He was an outgoing, carefree type of person and that translated to the type of soccer he played. He doesn't have any grand aspirations such as taking Odeegard's position in his current club but he still wanted to have a use. "Even if it's to keep the defense solid or strengthen the attack. I just want to play, I just want to compete."

Xavier quickly reset his emotions and washed his face. "No No I'm okay, just got a little bit emotional for the camera. You know, for those at home."

"The next time I think I'll play? hmm might be in a while but if I ever get selected, I'll show Paul why I deserve my spot."

"A quick quote before you leave? hmm, can't really think of one off the top of my head... Ok, I got one." Xavier coughed. "Have fun, this won't last forever."
