Jamie called Linda, but there was no answer the first time as he tried and tried for 14 times but there was still no reply from her. He began to get worried and think if she was okay or in trouble or if she was mad at him for offending her, or something or maybe she was just busy. With all these thoughts in mind, he got frustrated and went home. When he got to the entrance of his house,he overheard his mother and Linda's mom having a conversation and what he heard,made him fall into a deep shock.
Linda's Mom told his mom that, Linda had got into a relationship with an older man and had started changing her character towards her. "How could I have been so stupid to think that a girl as beautiful as her was to going to fall for someone as ugly as I am. Maybe I should have told her earlier, what difference would that have made, she'd reject me after all." Reece said to himself as he was in deep pain and never thought in his wildest dreams that Linda would do such a thing. He went in pretending as if he didn't hear anything,greeted them in a sad tone and and went straight to bed without eating.
At dawn, he woke up, the pain within him wouldn't allow him to sleep. His mind was filled with thoughts of Linda and his heart broken,which was the first he experienced. He began thinking of how life would be if he had been able to tell Linda how he felt and if she had accepted. He had a lot of plans in mind but they were all shattered. He began to cry and asked himself " Is this true?"still in doubt that she couldn't have done such a thing and decided to hold on in passing judgements and confirm for himself if truly she was dating another person. He planned that in the morning,he would pay Linda a visit after soccer training.
Due to the boredom at home Jamie joined a soccer team and discovered that aside being good with books, he was also good with footballs but the only problem he had was that,his coach was never satisfied with how he played no matter how many times he worked hard to impress him but he was still determined to be the succeed in it as well.
Morning finally came, and Jamie woke up looking all worn out and stressed but he still had to make it to training and from there pay Linda a visit not knowing he was yet to receive the biggest shock.
When he got to the entrance of the field,he met some of his teammates and they were all saying"We've got to put up our best performances today to snatch coach's girlfriend". Jamie was surprised to hear this because he knew his coach as a married man so what would he be doing with a girlfriend and said to himself"The poor girl might not know he's got a wife and would be blamed for snatching someone's husband". When he got into the field and got closer to the coach, he nearly had a heart attack. "Linda!!"he screamed in shock saying "What are you doing here?". "I'm here to watch my boyfriend (referring to the coach) train, I didn't know you played football."she said. "Hey young man get changed and start warming up and stop asking stupid questions."said the coach and added"Useless player". Jamie in shock didn't know the words to say or reply with and with tears in his eyes, he turned back,left the field and headed home. "How could I have been so stupid,why did I even meet her in the first place? All of this would have never happened" as he talked to himself like a mad man as headed home in pain and with a broken heart. He got home hiding the tears in his eyes when asked why he had comeback so early. In pain, he went straight to the hall without saying a word. He felt so cold on the inside and vowed never to set foot on the training ground as he was really shattered.
