Silver's Touchdown 29. Silver's POV
Silver sighed; he actually liked that Danny was staring at him earlier. He saw Danny move closer to the other guy, hook their arms together, and rest his head on the other guy’s shoulder.A pang of jealousy hit his chest upon seeing them together. Maybe they were together, like a couple, and had come to see the game as a fun activity that they did.He scoffed. Who comes to see a football match as a couple activity? He sighed. He was closer to the front line, but now he just couldn’t bear seeing them together in front of him. It was as if they were washing their relationship in front of his face, especially when Danny had stared at him earlier.Silver sighed. Food would have to wait for now, he thought, leaving the queue towards the school entrance. He jogged all the way to the locker rooms, entering quietly. He was half expecting the place to be empty since he had come a little bit early.He was among the two first people to come for the game. He nodded at the other guy who was li
Silver's Touchdown 30. Silver's POV
Silver nodded, but as he moved closer to Pete and the guys in the middle, his phone that he was holding buzzed in his hand. He checked it, and it was a text from his mother.'I'm outside your locker room, it reads.He sighed. She probably was here to start nagging him about how badly he had played, how he was a disappointment to his father, and how he was ruining his father’s legacy.Silver excused himself from the locker room and found his mother standing at the end of the corridor before the turn. He sighed, walking over to where she was.She apparently heard him approaching because she turned to him.Oh, oh, someone is pissed.The look on her face said it all; he had seen it countless times whenever he wasn’t playing well on the field. It wasn’t like she was concerned about whether their team won or not; she was solely interested in whether he threw balls like his father."Your father would be disappointed in the way you played earlier," she told him immediately, as he got t

"Okay, mind sharing, we have barely five minutes to get back into the field." Pete said, filing his arms in front of him.He had summoned all the courage and, out of excitement, rushed back here to tell them about how they could change the game plan. But somehow, seeing them all looking at him and expecting him to talk was frightening.This was the first time they were all waiting for him to say something, and truly, it was both frightening and amazing.Silver grinned, "Make me play the wide receiver’s position." He answered, staring at his teammates who were yet to say something.They obviously didn’t like the idea.A guy wanted to say something, but Pete held up his hands, stopping the guy from talking."And why should we do that?" Pete asked, staring at him with sharp eyes.Silver sighed; he didn’t know how to explain it. In the past, he could have said that it was because he was faster than Tony, who was playing the wide receiver position and could run well with a ball, avo
Silver's Touchdown 32. Silver's POV
"We need to talk, young man," she told him.He groaned, taking in her appearance; she looked like she was going out that night because those were not the clothes she wore earlier to the game."Can't I just rest, mom?" he muttered."No, sit!” , she ordered.He took a seat on the couch with a sigh."What the hell was that on the field today? Since when did you start playing wide receiver?", she asked, her voice a bit on the high side.Yeah, he forgot; his mother didn’t know that he could play in that position."It was a backup plan with the team, in case the playbook didn’t work, mom, and it won us the game... I can run, I can catch, I can throw, hell, I play ball! “, he muttered."There was a wide receiver playing already... Don’t talk to me like I don’t know football; I’ve been watching the game for years," she snapped at him."And if you noticed, I ran faster than him when I took the position," he told her. He didn’t know why he was telling her all this; it’s not like she to
Silver's Touchdown 33. Danny's POV
Danny could not remember the last time he felt this good; it sure had been a long time. After slamming the idiot in the car, his excitement level had risen to a level that was temporary, he knew. Of course, he is aware of the long stares that the guy gave him during the game. At a point, the way the guy would bite his lips became so funny that he didn’t even know how to flirt.Lennon climbed into the car, chuckling. He was half expecting the guy to scold him or lecture him on how he needed to be more careful in the future, blah, blah, blah, but Lennon had simply shook his head and started the car.Lennon typed in the GPS of the hotel they were going to stay at and started the car."I can’t wait to sleep." Danny muttered beside him, resting his head on his seat.He heard Lennon scoff, but ignored him and still rested his head on the window. They were still maneuvering their way out of the school’s parking lot when Lennon slammed the car's brakes, bringing the car to a sudden halt
Silver's Touchdown 34. Lennon's POV
Lennon had not meant to slam the breaks; it had been an unconscious action in reaction to what he had just discovered at that time: that the guy he had stumbled on in the hallway, the one with silver hair, who happens to be the QB of the Tigers and plays just like him, was the same guy he had bumped into about ten years ago in a hallway in a stadium here in Newark.He scoffed. Life and fate were funny; they had a way of reuniting even the best of enemies. He could still remember the silver-haired boy, even though he had tried to forget him at some point after that incident.There was something eerily familiar about the boy, even now, that he couldn’t seem to place his hands on. It was as if he should know what it was, yet he didn't, and that didn’t sit well with him.In all his life, this was probably the first time he felt threatened in football. Pardon his arrogance, but he had not met a high school student who could play like him or as good as him. As early as three years old,
Silver's Touchdown 35. Gabriel's POV
"Can you not lean too close to me?”, Gabriel Estellio asked the lady standing in front of him who was doing his make-up. She was so close to him that he could perceive her perfume, which was irritating to his nose. It was cheap and unpopular, so he couldn’t place the scent."Sorry,” she muttered, moving her body away. He sighed, looking down at his screen again. He smiled. Danny was coming to his photoshoot after school when he received the text. Sometimes, Danny would join for a photoshoot, but recently, the guy had stopped doing photoshoots, and he couldn’t wait to see him.Staying in Italy and having friends in New York was not easy at all. He had pleaded with his father to let him attend high school here in New York, but the man had bluntly refused. Emmett Estellio wanted his children close to him during their early years. He was ready to give in for college, as his father had told them, but not high school.So he would always make sure he met up with the guys whenever he w
Silver's Touchdown 36. Gabriel's POV
The stress of the long flight and then the photoshoot was weighing down on him now that he was relaxed. He knew that they still had about ten minutes on the road before they got to Uncle Jacob’s place, so he decided to catch a little sleep.He closed his eyes moments later.Gabriel felt someone shaking his shoulder, so he snapped his eyes open, wondering where he was briefly, until he remembered that he was in Danny’s car. He sat up straighter, looking around the area. He saw Danny by his side, looking at him."Just how tired are you?" Danny asked him.He exhaled, yawning and stretching in the car. "I'm very tired; I haven’t gotten a rest since I got here," he said.Danny gave him a pitiful look—a look that didn’t suit the guy’s beautiful face at all. Sometimes he wondered how a guy would look this beautiful and handsome at the same time. It amazes him how Danny had what every model was looking for but wasn’t using it."We're here... good thing because you’ll eat too. I assume y

Breakfast at the shepherds household was chaotic, with Lennon walking around the kitchen doing only God knows what and his mother, Mira, trying to salvage what was left of the breakfast she was preparing that ended up burning. Uncle Jacob is just sitting there and arguing with his wife to let him cook, while she bluntly refuses. Yeah, breakfast was chaotic.Gabriel sighed for the umpteenth time that morning, and it wasn’t even eight in the morning yet. He saw Lennon leave the kitchen after trying to get both of his parents' attention and failing. He contemplated joining the guy, but he was damn hungry.He looked at the tray of burnt pancakes on the counter and shook his head."Can you just let me cook?" Uncle Jacob said"No! You’re injured, and I can do this." Aunt Mira muttered.He scoffed. "You've been trying to do this since morning, Aunt Mira, and you’ve been failing... I’m hungry…” he whined.The glares from both couples made him zip up his lips, especially with Uncle Jaco
