Doing what I do best 1

Next day....

"Hi bro" I heard Malvin's voice.

I have been waiting for Malvin at the assembly grounds for a very long time, I almost gave up thinking maybe he decided not to show up because he didn't like sweat on sports day.

" Yeah, hello Malvin" I said as i stood up quickly, now facing him.

"Sorry for the delay, I slept very late last night" Malvin said while opening a second bag he was holding in his left hand.

"So ...,did you bring it?" I asked hopefully.

"No" Malvin replied.

"Oh ..., what ..what happened?" I asked .

"Just kidding, now take this" Malvin said with a laugh.

"Wow, thanks!" I said and quickly grabbed the white pair of boots , examine every detail possible.

" You like it, then you can keep it afterwards, it got no use for me" Malvin said in differently.

"Thanks man, but we need to get to field before the games begin" I suggested.

We changed into our sporting gears and headed towards the field.

As we got to the field I caught other players looking at my cleats, I felt really confident.

"Hey ofiri, I have been looking for you, come let's go !" I heard Albert say.

Malvin and I followed him to the sport prefect, Andy.

Upon reaching Andy , Albert spoke.

" here's the winger I was talking about, he's very skillful and direct, no matter where you are on the pitch , his passes doesn't miss" Albert hyped.

"Hmm, this guy?" Andy asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, just give him a chance" Albert pleaded

" okay I hear you , I have already made my selection, so you guys join the other team since you came in late " Andy said.

Albert turned to me and said

" okay, you heard him"

"Okay let's go " I simply said.

We walked to the other side of field but we were asked to sit on the bench for coming in late.

volleyball, handball and basketball started on their various courts, so did the football too.

The match started with Andy's side dominating the match , they looked solid and compact, passing the ball around uniformly, of course they were the school 's football team, so I couldn't expect less.

But on the other side of the field (my team), it was really a mess, the midfield was literally empty, forcing the defence to be exposed, it didn't take long for Andy ,the sports prefect to get on the score sheet two times playing as the striker on his team .

The referee blow for half time ,allowing the two teams to have a quick 10 minutes break.

My team walked towards our bench with their heads down , disappointed.

Our captain,who I didn't know his name, but his brilliant tackles saved the team,many times in the first half spoke.

" We need to posses the ball too if we can win this match guys, and the wingers aren't helping when we lose the ball, if you want to get into the school team, this is your only chance as a form one student" he said.

"So what do we do now" another guy asked.

" am sorry but we will have to sub the wingers , they aren't confident on the ball, we need a players who can take on the oppositions defense " The captain of our side said

"Any wingers on the bench?" Captain asked looking at us.

"We can play on the wings" Albert said edging me to get up .

To my surprise , it looked like the others on the team looked fearful, obviously because of Commando, the right back whose on Andy's team's rough tackles.

I guess nobody wanted to risk getting injured.

"Okay warm up and join us on the field , we have barely 2 minutes left before second half begins" captain said.
