Seth : I was sitting in the field looking down at the grass watching the children of my society people getting professional training from the coach... I was really sad but then a person stood in front of me...blocking the sunlight striking my face... by looking at the legs I could tell it was a boy but the boy's knee was bandaged. .. I slowly lift my head to look who was the person.. as soon I looked up I saw a handsome boy he seemed to be older than me.. he smiled at me.. the smile was so warm.. he sat beside me... and asked me..
Ace : hi.. Seth why are you sitting here alone and depressed..
Seth : you know me..?
Ace : of course how will I not know you.. you are the only girl playing Hockey here in this field.. you may not know me.. but I have been noticing you.. you are brilliant..!
Seth : why are you here..? and who are you..?
Ace : oh I am so sorry for not introducing myself first... I am Ace and I am here to qualify for javelin championship..
Seth : oh good for you.... you can take part..but why are you coming to me
Ace : I saw you sitting alone so I came to accompany you..
Seth : I don't need that.. it's good for me if I am alone..
Ace : ow...what happened why are you not practicing with others..
Seth : the coach didn't take me in.. as you can see I just came to watch the show..
Ace : but why..?
Seth : cuz I came late... I don't even know what sports I am going to participate in... and I don't know the basics of solo sports so he told me he don't have extra time for me...
Ace : but why are did you come late...
Seth : .....
Ace : it's okay if you don't want to share... but seeing you condition I think I have a way out for you.. if you are willing to co-operate with me..
Seth : I will as long as I can qualify for the district I will give my all to it.. I will work hard..
Ace : I like your determination I will definitely help you.. but first we need to find out what sports you should try for..
Seth : I don't know.. what do you think would suit me. ..
Ace : let's try out javelin... seeing you height I think that fits you.. if I teach you the basics we both can practice together and qualify for the district and that way we can realise our dream together...
Seth : that's a great idea.. but won't I be a trouble to you.. and you have to train your self..
Ace : ( laughs) how can you be a trouble to me.. I saw your determinations... you are the one who gonna practice I will lend you some help.... and with you I can also improve my skills so let's work together...
Seth : but...
Ace : it's really not a trouble... I really wish to work with you... do you see my leg..
Seth : yea but why is it bandaged..? how did you get hurt..
Ace : my story is kinda similar to you... you know I actually wanted to apply for 100 m race.. but some athletes in my area didn't want me to succeed so one day they called me to the field and kicked my leg.. this cause severe damage to my leg and I was unable to run in the speed I used to.. I can't talk with air anymore.. so I worked hard and trained myself in javelin and successfully came here to participate.....
Seth : why do people hate to see others success
Ace : that's the nature of people.. we can't change their mindset we can only prove them wrong by working hard... you know what watching you sit in the field alone earlier reminded me of my past self when doctor told me I can't run anymore.... at that time I was also sitting in the field depressed but no one came to console me I almost lost hope.. but then my coach gave me his hand and advice that is the reason I am here today.. ( takes a deep breath) I may not be a professional.. I may not be able to teach you or give you advice like those coaches but trust me I can help you with the basics once we are clear with basics we both can improve together...
Seth : you suffered a lot... don't worry I don't need a professional to teach me because I don't want to professional who only teach the one who are already best.. I want to be taught by you who wants to help the one who are on their first step... you are great I fot high respect for you..
Ace : woah.. it feels great to share your sorrows with some one... hope you can open up to me too... now we only have 20 days to practice.... is it enough for you..
Seth : it is if we practice two times in the morning and in the evening....
Ace : let's start our training from tomorrow morning from 5 am.
Seth : if you don't mind can we start from 4 cuz I need to get ready for school at 6 pm I don't think one hour practice is enough....
Ace : sure.. no problem then tomorrow 4 am here in this spot...
Seth : thanks...
Ace : then are we friends now..
Seth: of course...
Ace : I like it.. your smile..
Seth : by the way which grade are you in
Ace : 10th grade... you..?
Seth : woah you are 2 years older than me.. but you look you. g I thought you are of my age..
Ace : lol.. I know I am handsome..
Seth : lol... where are you staying this days..
Ace : in the boys hostel.... that's located at the back of the field..
Seth : ow..
Ace : wanna visit someday.. ?
Seth : yup..
Ace : then we will go when time allows us...
