Humming his way home, John was really happy. Last time he met Mercy he was not able to get anywhere, only to embarrass himself, But today, he had at least managed to get her number. He was actually going somewhere.
John had decided to at least attended to his social life, not to only be an awkward and weird virgin by the time he reached 18, he at least needed to be a Playboy through and through.
The walk from the Bus stop to his house only took, 3 minutes top. Looking at the front door of his humble abode, John could already smell the aroma of the food. He quickly opened the door, rushed up to his room, and freshen up. While he was in the bathroom he checked his XP bar to see that the morning run had added +10 Xp making his total XP (110/500). Sighing, John closed his status interface, he could not wait for Monday to arrive, he could not wait to start training with the team and start farming some sweet XP.
Unlike the fantasy stories John used to read where he had to kill monsters to grow stronger, he had to train and make achievements If he wanted to grow stronger.
By the time he got to the table, Angel and his mum, Ella were almost done with breakfast. " How was your run ", John's mum asked. " Great " John replied while grabbing his own breakfast. " How much distance did you manage to cover, wimp ". John almost choked on his food when his sister asked him this question. Worst of all his Mum also join his sister in her laugh.
Although, He knew they were just messing with him, John decided to be a show-off today. " 10 km", he replied with a smug smile, " Mum, I also make the school's team ", he continued his gloating. John was anticipating a ' that good hun', or ' wow ', but all that he got was , hilarious laughter. His sister and even his mother were making fun of him. " Hhm ", John pretending to be angry, took his food to go eat in his room.
John loved his family, and even If they made fun of him, he would be angry with them. Instead he would try to show them what he was made off and that was what he had decided to do. His determination to be the greatest footballer has just been taken up a notch.
The rest of the weekend was uneventful, with John going to church on Sunday. While others prayed to God, John was busy praying to the universe. He didn't know if God was real, but he knew that the universe was real.
