Chapter 40
Ethan ran back out with the offense. He was a deep man.
The punt spiraled high in the air. Ethan settled under it.
immediately he caught it clean. And without thinking twice he took off.
He followed his blockers. He juked and spun.
Some of the Knights players tried to grab him. They started clawing on him.
But at that moment Ethan was like a man possessed. He would not be denied again. Not this time.
He broke a tackle. Then another.
And then he was in the clear. Nothing but green grass ahead.
The crowd that were seated before couldn't help but stand on their feet. Screaming. Roaring.
Ethan raced for the end zone. His legs were on fire.
His lungs were calm. As he pushed on.
He needs to make it. He had to score to correct his first mistake.
He leapt over the goal line. Touched the ball down.
"Touchdown, Tigers!"
Ethan spiked the ball. He screamed in joy he couldn't believe he just scored his first goal.
some of his teammates mobbed him. Mike at that moment hugged Ethan. He pounded his back.
"I told you, you got this"
Ethan couldn't help but smile.
The Coach at that moment couldn't help but Clap and he gave Ethan a thumbs up.
The crowd started chanting Ethan's name. Over and over.
"ETHAN!"
" ETHAN!"
Ethan was nervous before, but now he knew if he wants to prove a point today, He needs to show everyone what he could do.
And now that he has their attention.
He wouldn't waste it.
"No matter what happens, I will leave it all on the field."
The game continued and Ethan continued to score more points he wasn't slowing down.
The crowd couldn't hide their excitement anymore; they started to cheer loudly for Ethan again.
The score was now 12-3. Ethan had scored 9 of the 10 points for his team, the Tigers.
Some of the fans couldn't help but start saying to themselves.
"The new guy Ethan is amazing!" one of the fans yelled.
He clapped towards Ethan and shouted his name.
"Keep going!!"
At that moment Damien eye's turned deadly, he couldn't believe what he was hearing, Ethan the newbie has completely won the fan to himself, he has already scored 9 points while he has only managed 3.
He was not happy. He did not like that Ethan was getting all the praise.
Damien couldn't help but look at Ethan's jealousy.
His jaw tightened as his intense gaze was still focused on him he tried to get his mind off it, but the more he tried the more jealous he became.
He can't allow the newbie to outshine him in the team.
without thinking twice Damien talked over to his friends on the team and jay friends also, and whispered to them.
"Don't pass the ball to Ethan or Mike anymore,"
Damien told them quietly.
His friends nodded so as jay friends. They would do what Damien asked.
Damien nodded he's confident in himself, when he gets all the ball to his direction he's going to make of must of it, with that they don't need Ethan anymore, he would just be a Divergence for the knights player, they would think Ethan will be the one getting most of the ball and he's going to capitalize on that.
The game continued.
