21 First Day

John slept soundly that night, after he had had his fill. The day was very eventful for both John and Ray. They could not contain the entrance they felt today, in fact all the boys that made the team could not. The only reason they were even able to sleep at night was because they didn't want to disappoint their coach Ben the next day, and also because he said it himself that sleep was necessary.

So, it was that John was the first to wake up the next day. The eagerness, The enthusiasm for real academy training could not make him sleep longer than needed. Today he beat his record of the earliest time he had woken up.

Waking up at 4:00 am, John was confused as to what to do, waking early was not his thing. Anyways, he did not forget to pray to the universe, as per usuals. It was now his every day routine. After he was done chatting with them ' Universe', he finally decided to perform his house chores.

By 6:00 am, John was already at the dinning, smiling stupidly as his Angel and Ella woke up. When they were about to prepare breakfast in a hurry, they saw John at the dinning, on his uniform, still with his stupid grin.

" Good morning mum "

" Good morning, how was your night?"

Before John could even reply to his mum, Angel's dropped her own million dollar question, " Why are you sitting there, smiling like that, Creep? "

*sigh* although his little sister's question was a little heartbreaking, he decided to overlook it, simply because, firstly today was his first day at training, and secondly, that was the question he was expecting her to ask

" I made Breakfast ", John announced.

Angel and his mum, Ella, looking at John blankly. John didn't like the stupid look he was receiving, it was as though they thought he could not cook anything at all. " What?", John asked, finally managing to snap his mum out of her trance, who also snapped Angel out of hers.

Turning to Angel, Ella said, " let's go eat, hun ", and Angel obeyed. Unknown to John, that the brief moment the duo had made eye contact, they had decided to pretend to like the food no matter how bland it was, but this was their own mistake, which they would pay for, themselves.

After they sat down, John decided to at least, ' Introduce ' his ' Grand dishes ' in a ' Grand Style '.

Rising to his feet, John clapped twice, like the way he had seen chefs from country F do it on T.V.

" Good day lady and ...errrr , girl? ". Angel was technically angry at being called a girl instead of a lady like her mother, to her, John was just purposely trying to make her angry. Meanwhile, John just dismissed the awkwardness with two coughs, like a great chef.

*Cough, Cough* " For today's breakfast, I, The Greatest Footballer have decided to prepare the Grand, Once in a life time meal of .....

..... Oat, Pancakes with honey, Tadah "

John ended his Grand speech all smiles, ignorant to the blank stares he was receiving. To the females, what was going through their heads were thoughts like

* Seriously? *

* That's all, That's what you call a grand meal? *

* sign, it's a pity *

With the last being from Angel.

Everyone ate the meal quietly, with John being the one truly enjoying his meal. To him any food he made was the best, no objections.

After Angel forced herself through the breakfast, she hurriedly prepared for school, but not before visiting the toilet with her toothbrush to do her business. John seeing her shook his head like a disappointed senior brother thinking, ' she doesn't even brush before she eats now, Unhygienic ', oblivious to the facts that his Grand meal was currently going down the drain.

After all the shenanigans, John made it to school, in a happy mood. Nothing could make him angry today, all that was on his mind right now was his Training Today.

Training officially starts today.

When John got to school, he was at least not late. John was now trying his best to be strict, and keep to time. He did not want a situation whereby his career would be destroyed due to his late coming. ' Sigh '

Dropping his bag and taking his seat, John decided to go through his book before the start of class.

It took half an hour before the classes for the day, officially commenced.

Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnngggggggg.

' sigh'

Sometimes, John wondered why they used bells in his school, it could have been something else. and why were the ones in his school so Da** loud. Before he could go deep into the history of his school though, the teacher that was supposed to anchor the first class arrived.

John, Ray and the other new recruits of the football team, found today to be the most challenging they had ever had. Even, John was not able to focus. The boys with the distracted looks today were the guys that made the team. Those that didn't could be said to have gotten over it. They were the ones trying to hit on girls. If they couldn't make the team, they had to at least MAKE one themselves.

John went through the day absentmindedly, something else, aside books were on his mind. He had been thinking of Mercy, what??..... Sorry Messi the football legend, n.. not the girl he had exchanged numbers with. Who was he kidding, he was thinking of her. He had not had chance to call her, and he had also not ran into her in school.

Ha had decided to settle that after he had settle himself in the team. Although he was not unattracted to her, he wanted at least settle himself first before anything else.

John breezed through the rest of the classes absentmindedly, as like that, it was finally the end of classes for the day .

RING

The bell could be heard, making it's usual noise, but this time it was like music to John's and Ray's ears. Both boys wasted no time in packing up, as though they didn't want to endure staying in this hellish place for one second more.

When they were done, they made their way to the school's field, along with the other Boys.
