Chapter 24

Nolan P.O.V

Day after day I practice for the game on Friday against the North-Ridge Titans, during lunch, before school starts and after school. Blood and sweat are put into these practices .. Not literally .. But .. You know what I mean. My dad left for his business trip the day before my game. I mean it kind of sucks not to see my old man see me dominate the game, but at least the scouts would see. As days pass by, I feel my nervous enhance. I've never been nervous for a game, but now that I know that someone who could grant my dream is going to watch me play, I'm sweating into tons of buckets. It's the day of the game and I'm literally anxious.

"Noel. Wake up!" I hear Nathan screaming in my ear. I jolt off the bed, pushing roughly hard at him, causing him to fall off my bed.

"Geez, fuck." I massage my ear, trying to stop the sudden ringing. "You fucking dumbass!" I get off the bed, opening up my blinds.

"Fuck, Noel. You just had to push me off."

"You're lucky I didn't punch you at the spot." I walk to my closet, grabbing my jersey and a pair of black jeans. I see Nate getting off the floor, rubbing his back. "Get out and get ready. If you're not done before I am, go luck finding a ride to school." I drag him out of my room, slamming the door. I go inside my bathroom and freshen up. Putting on my clothes, I receive a text on my phone from the group chat.

P: Early practice?

X: No, we should relax before the game.

C: Please, no more.

M: Weights room?

C: Sure

P: Weights room it is.

I shove my phone into my pocket, not bothering to text them. I get downstairs.

"Nathan! Neil!" Yelling out, grabbing my varsity jacket off the rack. I see Neil, running out of the kitchen.

"Hey bud." Neil runs to me and hugs my leg, smiling at me. I hear feet paddling down the stairs.

"Do we have to go now? I didn't eat breakfast yet?" Nathan whines, fixing his strap on his shoulder. I drag the two boys out the door in front of me.

"We'll stop by IHOP for a bit." We hop in my car and head off to IHOP.

"What do you want, Nate?" I see him reading the menu with Neil.

"Uhm ..."

"Hi, I'm Janice. I'll be your waitress. Are you ready to order?" Janice looks at me, flirtatiously. Here we go...

"Yeah, I'll order you beautiful." I see Nathan gazing at her, smirking as he wiggles his eyebrows. She gives him a weird look, then shakes her head.

"Can I have Smokehouse Combo and a cup of coffee with sugar and cream. What do you want guy?" I look at Nate and Neil.

"I'll get the Strawberry Banana French Toast with an orange juice. Neil?" Nate says, then looks at Neil. Neil points to a picture on the menu, looking at me. I lean over to see what is it.

"And Jr Ham and Egg Melt with a glass of milk." She writes them down, then repeats our order.

"Yeah." Handing her the menu. She grabs it, giving me another flirtatious smile, then walks away.

"Why do all the girl flaunt to you? I'm good looking too." I snort, pulling out my phone. Checking through my phone, our waitress brought our orders and the cheek. We eat and finish our breakfast. Once we were done, I take the cheek and go to the cashier.
