Chapter 28 - Difficult and stressful

"Yeah, you're right, Levi, and you can trust us. We are cool." [Lefah said immediately. But Garriso doesn't trust his brother's words because he really knows Lefah.]

"Yeah, my bro is right, guys." [Garriso]

[Henry continues by saying," I know you have been hurt by the way I treated you yesterday, but hey, I am really sorry for being the bad guy. And I hope you guys will forgive me? [Henry apologized to Lefah and Garriso about yesterday. They all look surprised in their faces because this is the first time Henry has done this.]

"Hey, don't worry captain. We are all good and we understand. Although that was really rubbish, and sorry for my words. You just wanted to show us you're the team captain and I respect that. Coach Wilson told us to play like a family and that's what I am going to do from now on. I will respect my captain's and play with you guys just my family."

"Garriso continues by saying," Hey captain, we are good. Hey, let's talk more later. We have to go and see the principal in her office immediately, which is more important to attend to it."

"Okay, thanks for understanding us but not mistaking us." [Levi said immediately]

Okay, and that won't be a problem, my big boys. You can go and see the principal any moment from now. But hey, hope to see you tomorrow morning for training. I can't wait to play some challenge with my newcomers to the high school football team."

"Don't worry about that, Captain. We will surely come to training tomorrow morning, and we can't escape that."

"Okay, but let me take this opportunity to welcome you to our high school football team since I haven't done that yet, boys." [Henry smiled and shook heads with Lefah and Garriso."

"Okay Henry and thanks. Hey bro. Let's go now please. Miss Madison can leave home any moment from now because it's late." [Lefah]

"Okay bro. Hey, captain, thank you and see you some other time." [Garriso]

As Henry responded, "Okay" and opened up a way for Lefah and Garriso to pass by. Henry said to Lefah and Garriso. Immediately, they open up for them to go their way," Hey guys. The road is pretty clear now, and you can set off on the roll now. Just like Coach Theodore used to say, "Hey players! Set off! The roll now!"

[Both laughing]

When they all started moving to their destination, Levi turned back to Lefah and Garriso from a far distance and said,

"Hey boys! Make sure you guys come to training on time tomorrow before our captain starts reading his list of punishments for you guys." [Levi]

[Both laughing]

"Henry punched Levi on his shoulder and pushed him away and said," Hey my man. Will you shut up? Before I punch the hell out of you? I am a changed person now, can't you see Levi?"

[Both laughing again]

Levi stopped laughing and said to Henry, "Oh so sorry, man of change."

"Henry continued by saying to Lefah and Garriso, "Hey boys! Don't mind Levi. He's crazy man."

"Don't worry, captain, we will surely come on time, so, see you later bye." [Garriso]

Henry turned back to his boys and said to them, "Hey boys, let's grab some ice cream outside."

[Boys cheers] "Whoo hooo!"

[Lefah and Garriso took some steps to Miss Madison's office door.]

[Knocking on the door] [Miss Madison responded from inside the office.]

"Who is out there? Just come in. The door is open."

[Door opens and closes]

Miss Madison smiled at Lefah and Garriso said," Hey my loving boys. It's been a long time since I saw you guys. I was even planning to come and see you guys today in your class, but something came up so, I stopped."

[Both] "Good afternoon, Miss Madison"

"Hey, how are you doing, my big boys?" [Miss Madison asked about Lefah and Garriso, immediately after they finished greeting her in her office.]

[Both] "Doing great, Miss Madison."

"Oh okay. Hey, don't be standing on your feet please. Hey, just have you seat boys."

[Both] "Thank you, Miss Madison."

"You're welcome. This reminds me yesterday. Coach Wilson told me how serious you guys are in training. And he told me a lot about just yesterday's training performance from both of you. Hey, I am really proud of you."

[Both smile at Miss Madison and say] "Thank you, Miss Madison."

"Lefah continues by saying, "You know. Training was really difficult and crazy stressful, but once we want to play, we'll keep trying till we become good players just like the injured players. And that was a promise we made to Coach Wilson after yesterday's training."

"Aw, that's great and Coach Wilson told me everything when I called him yesterday evening just to ask you about your training preference. Because you guys are my special players in the high school football team."

"Wow. Thank you for making us special in the football team, Miss Madison." [Garriso]

"It's my pleasure, so, don't worry my boys. Hey, I know training will be very difficult and stressful, but don't just give up on your dream, okay?"

[Both] "Okay Miss Madison"

"Yeah, all the difficulties won't be there forever. And what champions do is to fight forward and champions don't care about difficulties and see difficulties as normal things. I really believe in guys that you can do it. So, just do it for me. And forget about difficulties."

"You're right, Miss Madison. And besides, it's not even in our minds to give up on our dream once we have our sweet mother, and our principal's support. We won't just give up because it's difficult today. We believe that it will be normal tomorrow. That's our hope, Miss Madison." [Lefah]

"Hmm. I really love it when young people like you believe in their strength and have more confidence, just like strength is capable enough to do it or fighting for good. But not like my daughter in the house." My only and favorite daughter is a teenager just like you boys."
