Chapter 33
And the coach has never spoken to him once, but how come all of a sudden he\'s on the team for today\'s important match.
Ethan then faces his friend, and the look on their face shows they were still worried about Marcus, and he couldn\'t bring himself to tell them not to worry that Marcus wouldn\'t do them any harm again, none of them would believe him so he\'s going to keep it quiet and deal with Marcus.
Ethan did not tell his friend about his plans. He just followed the message man and went to the field.
Not long after Ethan got to the field, immediately his present Attracted the attention of the other boys as they looked at him disgustingly.
with the look on their faces one would tell they were not happy to see him, they looked mad.
"Why is he here all dressed up with the team uniform?"
one boy said in a mean voice.
"He is good at cleaning all the mess when we are done, but I\'m surprised seeing him putting on the team uniform, and he\'s looking all ready to play, as if he\'s among the team" said one more boy.
"If he thinks he\'s going to play we are dumb, We will lose if he plays" said the third boy.
The boys kept saying bad things about Ethan as Ethan approached them.
He could hear them and all the mean words they were saying towards him. It made Ethan feel bad but at the same time he knows, even without playing any single game he\'s better than most of them here, just because they got a chance doesn\'t mean they are better then others. He managed to smile and tried not to let their words get to him.
Upon seeing Ethan had arrived the coach came out and blew his whistle to get everyone\'s attention.
"Okay, team, come here"
he said while using his hand to signal them to come closer to him.
The team went to the coach.
The coach told the boys what was on his mind and the task for today.
"We will be having a big game soon"
He said.
"We need to work hard in this last training to get ready and come out victorious, I know it wouldn\'t be easy, but with your determination and hard work we have win, I have so much faith in all of you, because we have done it before, and we will do it again."
Ethan at that moment nodded his head, for the first time he was this close to the coach, but at the same time he knew how the coach does his things, because he takes note of the little detail of the Coach instructions none of this is new to him.
However the coach did not seem happy that Ethan was there; he couldn\'t believe he would be working with someone he doesn\'t know anything about. He doesn\'t even know his best position, his strengths and weaknesses.
However that wasn\'t his concern he has made up his mind not to play Ethan, and he\'s going to do everything possible to make sure of that.
The coach got all the boys working hard. They ran a lot. They threw the ball. They caught the ball. They did it over and over.
The coach watched them. He was thinking hard. He was mad that the school said Ethan had to play in this big game. If it was a friendly he wouldn\'t have complained but not in this Crucial game.
"We have to win this game"
the coach said to himself.
"But how can we win with Ethan on the team? He has never played. I don\'t even know anything about him, he seems to be doing alright in training but it\'s not real March this doesn\'t count."
The coach tried to think of a way to make it so Ethan would not play. Then he had an idea.
Without wasting any more time he said.
"Ethan!"
The coach called out.
"Come here."
upon hearing his name Ethan ran over to the coach.
"Ethan, you have to go one on one with Jay Brown if you want to play in this big game"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The coach said.
Ethan looked over at Jay. Jay was big and strong. He was one of the best players and doing a one vs one with him just meant one thing, the Coach doesn\'t want him in the team, he could have said he should do it with someone else but he chooses to pick jay.
After that moment Ethan\'s eyes filled with determination as he nodded his head.
And the coach continues.
"You and Jay will run with the ball." the coach added.
"You will try to get the ball from each other. You will throw and catch. You will run fast with the ball. If you can beat Jay in all of this I just mentioned, then you can play."
Ethan was shocked. But part of him was glad it was against Jay, now he can test himself. He has more power now than he used to. This was his chance to show what he could do. He had always wanted to go up against Jay.
The coach then calls for Jay and explains things to himself.
The coach told them a few more things. Then he said,
"Okay, go!"
Ethan walked over to Jay.
Jay looked at him with a mean face.
with a tight jaw and disgusting look he said to Ethan.
"I know what you did at the store today."
Jay said in a low but disgusting voice.
Ethan smiled knowing he had made Jay look bad at the store.
"You will be sorry when I\'m done with you today, I\'m going to break your bones"
Jay said as he want to bet with Ethan.
"If you lose to me, you have to run around the field with no clothes on."
