Silver's Touchdown 19. Silver's POV
Silver woke up that morning feeling hot, like a volcano. Maybe it was because of the blanket covering his frame. He had been so cold last night that he had covered himself with the blanket; now he was hot. Though he highly doubts that it was because of the blanket,One, two, three... he sneezed. Blinking his eyes open as he tried to process what he was feeling that morning.“Damn, I’m sick”, he concluded. That was the only logical explanation for how he was feeling. He touched his forehead with his left hand. Yeah, he was sick.With the way he had walked and stayed under the rain last night, it was certain that he had caught a cold.He tried to climb out of bed to relieve himself when he noticed for the first time that morning that since he woke up, he was not in his room, nor was he in the spare room at the shop; he was somewhere else.He tried to think back, remembering what had happened last night, how his manager had brought him home, and then Anthony. No wonder the bed felt
Silver's Touchdown 20. Silver's POV
Silver blinked; this was shocking. People like this don’t exist in the world. Why were they helping him like he would repay them back? It was strange. He looked at the pack of medicine on the table, looking up when Tony placed the bowl of soup in front of him."Eat," Tony told him, taking the seat opposite him to eat too.Silver looked at the food, then the medicine, and then at Tony. No way were people this good. No, every kindness must be repaid; his mother had taught him that.By the time he woke up on Monday morning, he was feeling more like himself, rejuvenated, and no longer sick. He was still staying at Tony's and had yet to hear from his mother after that night; she had not called or texted him at least to ask how he was doing.He had discovered one thing with the little time spent with Tony and his uncle: they were different from others. They treated him like he was a member of the house, and the man had let him stay with them rather than going back to the spare room at t
Silver's Touchdown 21. Silver's POV
"How come you’ve not done this before”, Parker muttered behind him.Yeah, how come he has not heard about this before? he thought. This was the first time he was hanging out with the guys, so it wasn’t really surprising that he had never heard about this before or done it with them.Pete’s house was huge, and he had a very big television that almost covered the full wall; compared with the one Silver had at his house, it barely worked. They sat in the living room while Pete passed drinks around with snacks, which he placed on the table.Parker was the one with the control device, so he played the first game. Collins hornets versus Dale Spring"Watch the players, Tony, try to pick out their hidden cards,", Pete told Tony, coming to sit on the floor in front of Parker, who was literally hugging the pillow on the couch with his notepad beside him. There were other team members in the room with them, but it looks like Pete, Parker, Bright, and Tony were more invested in the analysis t
Silver's Touchdown 22. Lennon's POV
"Do you have your jacket with you?”, Mira asked her son, Lennon.Lennon sighed for the umpteenth time that morning. It wasn’t even 10 a.m. yet, and he was already exhausted from the nagging coming from his mother."Yes, Mom, I have it with me; it’s in my backpack,", he replied, exasperated.His mother gave him a tight-lipped smile. "I'm bothering you, ain’t I?" she asked, coming up to hug him.He returned the hug, resting his head on her shoulder."I'm just going to see a game, mom; it’s Newark and not far. I’ll be fine; if it’s any consolation, Danny and Liam are coming with me," he told his mother.She scoffed, "Liam, yes, it’s a consolation. Danny, not really. Nelly is wondering how you convinced him to leave the city." She said this, shaking her head.Lennon laughed; actually, Danny owes him one, and he called in the favor; that’s how he agreed to come on the trip.“Did you confirm your booking?” , she asked him again, not able to stop herself.He shook his head. As lon
Silver's Touchdown 23. Lennon's POV
Lennon shook his head. After that, Danny connected his phone to the Bluetooth speaker of the car and, after changing songs, left it and dozed off.His mind was focused on the road, but he was too excited to see the game. It was as if he was about to get a sneaker after he had ordered it online, and it was his arrival date.Danny had not really said why the Tigers QB had attracted him, but he knew why. It was because the guy played like him. He threw balls just like Lennon, and that was something to watch out for because...Only one person played like him, and that was his father, Jacob Shepherd.They arrived at the stadium where the two teams would be playing the game, but because Danny was still sleeping, he decided to just wait in the car since it was still even too early to go inside the stadium.He could see the home color, purple and gold, waving in the sky. They were rooting for their team to win.Lennon pulled out his iPad and connected it to his air pods, replaying the g
Silver's Touchdown 24. Danny's POV
Danny was nervous for the trip; he would say it out though. He didn’t know why, but he felt like something was going to change, like he was going to meet someone that he was destined to meet; he just couldn’t place his nervousness, and that was why his heart was telling him to stay back and not go.When Lennon had told him about the trip, he had wondered why the guy wanted to go that far just to see a game that probably would get televised or something.There was no need to see who won the game—well, that was until he stumbled upon the video of the Newark Tigers playing a game against another team. The team they defeated got their place in the semi-finals, and he knew immediately why Lennon wanted to go see the game.His phone went off, and he rolled his eyes, thinking it was Lennon picking it up. The guy was obviously so excited about the trip that he had called Danny almost three times to remind him.As if he would forget such a trip."Dude, I heard you the last time." He snapp
Silver's Touchdown 25. Danny's POV
Only one person played like Lennon, and that was his father, Jacob Shepherd.Danny knew when they arrived at the school, Newark High, but he felt too lazy to open his eyes, still feeling like he needed to rest. Besides, the game was starting when the sun went out, and they would need to wait even if they left the car now, so there was no need to wake up. He stayed half asleep with his eyes closed.He heard Lennon moving about in the car; he was probably looking for his iPad or something. He was too obsessed with this team, especially their QB. Danny wouldn’t lie; he too wanted to meet the guy, but not as desperate as Lennon.The deal was that Lennon saw himself as one of the best QB's in the state and country, having been trained by the Jacob Shepherds himself. so seeing someone who had the potential to reach that height that he was in, was rare.They had always won the cup since they both started playing for their high school team, and he could say that this team, if they won the
Silver's Touchdown 26. Silver's POV
Silver knew that today’s game was going to be one hell of a game, one he wouldn’t forget in a hurry. It was the first time he was playing with his teammates as friends, not just teammates. He stretched on the bed, rolling out and falling on the floor in a thud.He should have felt pain, but he felt happiness. His light chuckle turned into a soft laugh, and before he knew it, he was finding it difficult to stop. He saw Tony peer into his room. Gods, he loved the sound of that."You okay, dude." Tony asked him, probably wondering if he had gone nuts or crazy for laughing at nothing.He dismissed Tony’s worry with a wave of his hands. The guy shook his head and left the room.Silver wondered if he had ever felt this happy before; even if he had ever felt this happy, it was certainly a long time ago. His heart felt light, and he was now smiling.He stood up, checking his dead phone. He picked up the device with a sigh."Forgot to charge you again, huh?" he muttered, plugging the pho
