"Well Alex…" the goal keeper that shot his dream began talking. "I'm sorry that I underestimated you. You are in" he announced with a smile.
He hadn't realized it but he had been holding his breath all this time. The pressure and the focus needed not to just fall to the ground had cut his breath short but once he heard the news he couldn't help it and exhaled deeply, closing his eyes and smiling widely in relief. Yes, he had made it.
"But I didn't get to score any points?" He told them. He wanted to be completely sure that Luke had nothing to do with him joining the team. It had to be all him.
"We weren't expecting you to score any points. I mean…I cheated" the guy said indicating that he had used his powers.
"What?" Alex asked in shock.
"What Julius means is that we wanted to see how you would react under a bad game where you couldn't score at all. We wanted to see if you'd give up" Mikael said "and you didn't" he added smiling proudly like a mum.
