Today marks my two weeks in the new City, with the time I have spent here, I have happened to learn a lot of things, one of them is less noise and mind your business. You see, back in the town I came from, things work different, unlike here in the City where everything you do is against the law, you can't just sing in most places, and when someone sees anyone that needs help, instead of doing something, they best hide themselves, taking cover as they watch to see how the victim ends up.
That's actually not the only case, there's many more things involved, so I just have to agree on, living my life just the way the City wanted it to be, respectful and submissive. This is actually not my thing, where I'll have to hide my true self just to obey the set rules.
My leg has gone back to normal, it has fully healed from the dislocation and, I started walking without the orthopedic boot since three days ago, and my brothers influence has helped me in getting called up for a trial after I made enquires. It's a team in the division, I hope that things will go well today, I succeeded in making a slot for Davis as well and we spoke last night.
It wasn't all a positive conversation though, he seemed scared, he was actually doubting himself and his abilities, saying that he doesn't know how things would go since he haven't been training for a long time now. The game I watched him play and the experience he has in leading a team, it was top notch. He probably never knew how good he was in there, that's why he's full of doubts of himself, if only he was standing outside and watching himself play, there wouldn't be a single sign of doubt because he'll get to realize that he's meant for the pro.
Just at the set time when we're to depart from home, he arrived, I can tell it was him from the knocking on the door, I was already done, so I have nothing else to do than to grab my kits and go for the exit. We greeted each other, he was looking alive and ready, the person I spoke with last night was far different from who's standing before me right now, he was looking ready to hit the pitch.
It was said to be a two weeks trials, so I already made Gianna aware that I wouldn't be available for the next few days, I would be out there trying to get my career in the game running again. I know my abilities as a center back, I really know how to do my job well, even my physical look paves way for me, so from what I'm aware of, it's definitely going to be a success for me, I'm going to put in the efforts to make this a successful trial, and I just wish Davis does so as well.
It was yesterday that I went to the clinic to inform Gianna about it, I already did told her when me and Jeffery went to apply, so now that I would be leaving for it, I informed her, knowing that I would be missing her presence for the next few days.
Gianna has been a great boost in my life, her presence fills me with joy and I can't really dictate how it's going to go without her in the picture, because for my own well being and success, I'm going to cut off contact with her until the end of the trials.
Wow..... It's a great sight here, we can see other young lads who are as well arriving for the set football trial, there's quite a lot of people who have shown up for the trials, more like they are 20+ in number, I wonder how many of us are needed, how many of us are to be picked, are to make it into the team.
There wasn't much an event though, everything just seemed normal, everyone cooperating with the set rules from those in charge, moving to our respective rooms which was to be shared between two people inside each room, it's always gonna be me and Davis right?.
There was a lot of excitement from everyone, it's still the first day of arrival, so everyone has a high spirit and morale, ready to take the trial by storm, all we just have to do is follow the rules right?. They made us gather together, all of us introducing ourselves to the other, knowing the fact that in the end there's only going to be few of us which I believe I'll be one of them.
The truth is, I have dreams greater than this walls holding me in right now, though it's a division team, I believe that I have got to start from scratch, even though that the age number are gently running ahead past me to take things slow. Davis himself was some months older than I was, so I can definitely believe that he saw this quite as the last time to give it a try, while I still believe that I've more opportunities in the long run.
Davis already gave up the battle, I was the one that picked him up from his failure and trying to lure him to pull another string on this, which from what I saw, believes that things will definitely turn out right for him this time.
“ What's up Davis, I wasn't expecting to see you here....”
I man had come up to us, staring right at Davis, a cunning smile on his feature as he stares down on Davis, he was just as tall as me and looks like one of those in charge of this trial. Davis wasn't looking really happy seeing the man himself, I can see him force a smile that never reached his eyes, I think there's more to this relationship between this two guys than I know.
