One week.
It took a week for the results to be released. John had been anxious through out the past week. Not knowing if he made the tryouts or not was really nerve wracking.
The seemingly forever wait was now over, it was already a week since the match tryouts, that means the results would be released today.
walking briskly through the school's corridor. and towards the notice board, many thoughts appeared in his mind, making him doubtful. ' what I I don't make it? ', 'what if I failed '. John quickly shook the negative thoughts out of his head.
John, now Standing before the notice board, blocked by a swam of people, now had a more confident look. Shoving and finding his way through the crowd, John finally managed to reach the front. looking at the information from the school's team, he could see the names of those that made the team. Browsing through the list of names, John quickly found his name. Relief, was what he felt. He had worked hard, making the team was of his own merit. Then still browsing, John was looking for another name, the man had chickened out. He was nervous of checking the results himself, so he asked John to do it for him. John was excited when he saw Ray's name last on the list. John now was truly delighted, it was he and his best friend that trained. practiced. He would have been Unhappy if he was the only one that made the team.
Quickly turning around, John had again managed to find his way through the crowd. Hurrying to go share the good news to Ray, he bumped into someone. Now focusing on who was before him, John saw a GIRL. John blanked out, this girl was too beautiful. Those brown eyes, and the blonde hair. John was now lost.
' put yourself together', John admonished himself, before managing to say, "sorry" , before he made himself look like an idiot.
" It's Okay" , the girl replied, and quickly walked past him. John had to resist the urge to turn around to checkout her backside. ' I didn't even ask her name'. John sighed as he continued his journey of spreading the good news.
John got to Ray's house twenty minutes later. He told Ray that he made the team, not without putting him under pressure. Ray was happy as much as John was. They decided to relax today. They watched T.V, orders pizza and drinks. After an hour the two were now sprawled on the floor, like two drunk fellows.
" we should have ate this much" , John said, he was now regretting eating too much due to excitement, he was now facing the music of the stomach ache.
" Yeah " , Ray replied while taking another slice of pizza. Unlike John who had to still get home, Ray was already in his house, so he had no problems with overfilling himself. He was not bothered about walking with a stomach ache.
John almost cried as he stood up from the ground, picked his backpack, and said " Goodbye, see you tomorrow" , before turning towards the door. Just as he opened the door, he heard Ray's reply, "K, take care". John almost cried blood.
