Jadon Sancho

23. Jadon's birthday

"Kobe!" I shouted as I shot the basketball towards the hoop.

It circled around the rim and went in.

"I'm not sure that's how Kobe would've done it" Jadon said from behind me.

We were currently shooting some hoops in his front yard.

"Shut up, let me enjoy the moment" I said back.

He chuckled and shot from where he was behind me.

It went in.

I think I heard a swish with that as well.

"That was a 3 pointer and unlike yours that was 2 points" He laughed.

"Points this, points that! It still went in innit" I responded.

"You're sounding more British by the minute, I swear" He said.

I laughed.

"When was the last time you've been to Canada?" He asked.

"Umm...I haven't been ever since I came here" I admitted.

"Are you going to stay here when you retire"

"It depends" I answered.

"On what?" He seemed confused.

"On you" I went over to chase my ball because it was running away from me.

I came back with the basketball in my hands.

"I haven't seen your roommate around, what happened to her?"

"Oh Lola, well she moved back to Newcastle 'cause she got better job offers"

He nodded his head.

I stood right beside him and lined up my shot.

I released it and mid-air Jadon smacked it onto the ground.

He was laughing.

"Wow Jadon you're sooo funny" I rolled my eyes and picked up the ball "I'm going inside just because you did that"

He was still laughing.

I frowned and went inside the house.

That's enough of basketball for today.

March 12th

Matchday: Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur

I marched my way up to the Stretford End to see the beautiful Old Trafford.

Well let's just hope that some beautiful football will be played here today.

I located my seat and waited for the match to start.

The teams came from the tunnel and my eyes met Jadon's.

He flashed me a little nod and continued.

At long last, it begun.

Near Spur's penalty box, Fredinho received a pass which he flicked back to Ronaldo, who shot from distance and it entered the top bins.

"SIIIIIIUUU" The whole stadium erupted.

After 20 minutes there was a penalty to Spurs.

And the one and only Harry Kane converted it.

1-1

Well fuck that previous goal because Jadon ran in behind the defence on the wing and squared it Ronny for his second.
