🐳 Ivan 🐳
I cursed at Napoleon who took the ball, he was running to our end zone. This was the only chance I had to prove to coach that I was better than Hans and can be the new quarterback instead of the other guy. Hans wasn’t just good at being a quarterback but also skilled at being a center and cornerback. Sometimes, coach even risked it by changing his position because he was perfect at each of them. Hans was also the only young quarterback I know that could throw and catch his own pas-s, one who was fast enough to score a t©uçhdown at dire times. His agility and speed was another thing. Since he started pla-ying, he had never sustain bruisei, not even a scratch and that was impossible to believe. Hans had been training to be a quarterback, cornerback and center since he was two. That is possibly why
Coach losing him was such a big b!ow to him and the entire school, Hailey and Lee kept shut to my relief but so far, nothing was working. Coach insisted I remain the middle linebacker. He finally gave me a chance to pl@yas the quarterback but I was messing up. We were losing miserably and I was to be blamed with my bad calculations and obse-ssion to score a t©uçhdown.
‘Jet!’ I shouted with frustration, calling out to Jet who was the center to tackle Napoleon from the other team. He was too far, he couldn’t reach Leon.
‘t©uçhdown!’
I face palmed myself angrily. Another failure. I sighed heavily, sliding my hands to my h!ps and looking at my annoyed teammates. Leon ran across the field, sm-irking at me. I glared at him. The announcer’s comment wasn’t ma-king anything better for me. ‘Mould! Come here!’ Coach shouted.
‘fv¢k!’ I ran to him and smiled at his angry face.
‘What the fv¢k do you think you are doing out there Mould! Is this the Chance you were asking for?! I always knew you couldn’t do Hans’ or Michael’s job but you keep insisting! Now look where it has landed us! Not even a single point!’
‘Sorry coach Winston,’ I apologized grumpily.
‘Maybe he nee-ds a professional help,’ my eyes wi-de-ned at that voice. Coach’s head and mine snapped to his direction. Sauntering to us in uniform and helmet being pla-yed with in his hands, was my worst enemy; Hans Kendrick.
How is he here?!
Why is he here?!
How is this happening!
‘Kendrick!’ Coach shouted in delight. ‘You’re back!’
‘I never left sir,’
‘But you didn’t resume,’
‘Business trip with my father,’ he said nonchalantly.
‘Wait a second! Who is that with Coach Winston?! It’s Hans Kendrick! Red Lion’s quarterback!’ That stupid gossip. I winced at the new scream that erupted from the crowd. Soon they were shouting his name. My teammates all ran to him, surrounding and welcoming him back. Trust Hailey to do something to mock me. Being the captain of the cheerleaders, she organized them to start a chant for Hans.
‘Go change your uniform son, the real pla-yer is back.’ Coach said, giving my back a ha-rd sma-ck. I nodded grudgingly and walked away.

Hans returning was one thing, his new change was another. He intentionally let me get tackled four times, I almost broke my ribs. So far, the game had taken a turn and we were in a draw. One more t©uçhdown and we’d win.
‘Ivan! Look out!’ He shouted. I turned around too late, the ball collided with my face. The f0rç£ s£nt me staggering back and crashing into our teammate. He ran over to me with an apologetic look. ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t calculate the throw,’ he apologized, giving me his hand. I sl@pped his hand away, returning it to my throbbing nose. ‘I’m sorry, did I break your nose? It’s bleeding.’ He said mockingly.
‘Bastard,’ I spat. He sm-irked and win-ked at me before jogging off. I inhaled and stood up.
‘You have to treat your nose Ivan, it’s bleeding badly.’
‘Mind your fv¢k Jet, this is my own business.’ He raised his ~hands up in surrender. I huffed and w~ alked out of the field to coach.
‘Sit, you’ll get treated but that’s the end of you pla-ying in this game, you are jinxed tonight.’
‘Geez thanks coach, I didn’t notice.’ I said sarcastically. He sneered.
Few minutes for the klaxon to go off, we were yet to score another point. All the pla-yers scattered across the field, the other team charging at the halfback. Just at the last second, he threw the ball towards Hans who caught it easily. The opposite team quic-kly turned to attack Hans. His eyes swiftly ran throu-gh the field, catching his target. He ran with the ball, skillfully sliding between the legs of two pla-yers from opposite team. He stood up with such a speed I ba-rely saw him do it. With one powerful throw, he hurled the ball towards Jet who was closer to the end zone and far from the opposite team. Jet caught the ball in a haze, not expecting the ball to be thrown to him.
‘Jet!’ Hans shouted. Jet snapped out of it, turning around quic-kly and hitting the end zone just before the klaxon went off. The crowd erupt with cheers. I sighed and looked at Hans whose eyes was on me. ‘You see that?’ He mouthed. ‘That is just one of the ways I can show you that no matter what you do, you can never be better than me. Get re-ady to meet the demon in me.’
I clenched my fists in anger. ‘fv¢k you.’ I mouthed back.
‘I alre-ady fv¢ked you,’ he laughed as the team jumped on him. I rolled my eyes to Maggie who was p@rt of the cheerleader. She was looking at me with disappointment. I looked away, smiling as I remembered I still had her to make him feel terrible.
It’s not over yet Hans.
⚡ Hans’ standpoint ⚡
The football pla-yers decided to celebr@te my return in a karaoke bar. The cheerleaders and some couple of students tagged along. I was smiling brightly as they all sang the funny theme song Lee created a year ago. They all stood with cu-ps in their hands and their free hands on their che-st like they were reciting an anthem. I averted my eyes to Maggie who was sitting nervously with Ivan. He c@m£ so he won’t look affected but I knew he was. I win-ked at Maggie who turned red almost instantly. I laughed and averted my eyes to Lee who climbe-d the main round table.
‘Shout the salute!’ She shouted, her voice standing out over the others.
‘Hans on back!’
‘Hooah!’ They shouted, beating their che-st. ‘Hans on quarter!’
‘Toss and catch!’ She shouted.
‘Ook hooah!’ I rolled my eyes at the ridiculous chant.
‘Hans of Red Lions!’
‘Quarterback Champ!’ I laughed and shook my head at their signature nodding and then the lion roar. Lee did that herself and f0rç£d them all to learn it. At first it was stupid to them but they soon started enjoying the ridiculousness of the chant.
‘Can you guys sit down and st©p embarras-sing me now?’
‘Why should we?!’ Lee shouted. ‘You saved Red Lions! Just when someone’s bad luck was about to ruin us, you c@m£ out like Superman! Am I right boys?!’ Her question caused a hullabaloo. I smiled and looked at Ivan.
‘Three cheers to Hans and Jet, for a wonderful game,’ Hailey toast. Everyone lifted their cu-ps.
‘Hans! Hans! Hans!’ They drank their drink half. ‘Jet! Jet! Jet!’ Then they finished it.
‘You guys better make sure Riley don’t drink again. If you don’t want him to str!p and try to marry Ivan.’ Hailey sniggered. Everyone laughed while he scoffed.
‘It was just that one time!’ Riley shouted.
‘ma-king out with Ivan, that was epic, right buddy?’ I asked him.
‘You must feel really good about yourself,’ he spat angrily.
‘Oh I am, I did what you were struggling to do in just thirty minutes. Doesn’t that make me a hundred times better than you? Even my little sister can do a better job as a quarterback than you. Too much of stolen puss have weaken your alre-ady bad skills.’ They all stared at me quizzically, except my sisters. Hailey was sm-irking and Lee giggling. None of them were expecting such words from me.
Wow, I am too nice.
‘Hans, are you and Ivan fighting? I can’t help but feel the tension between…’
‘Even a cat will know they are fighting Riley, that was a useless question.’ Jet replied.
‘I st©pped feeding the dog for a minute and he bite me by eating my bone,’ I looked at Maggie and sneered. The cheerleaders laughed.
‘I wouldn’t have ditched your as-s if you weren’t so bad in be-d. You were completely ballless.’
‘Oh!’
‘Ouch!’
‘Is that so? Lela, wanna get a stand with me and testify to her accusation?’
‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’
‘Hans, don’t do that, you’ll hurt Iris.’ Hailey whispered. Ivan furrowed his brows at her name.
‘Ah, I forgot to mention that I wasn’t actually d@t!ngyou because I liked you, I only d@t£d you as a bet…’ Her eyes wi-de-ned. ‘Ask your sweetheart over there, he knows what I’m talking about.’ I said nonchalantly, sipping from my drink.
‘Ivan, what is he talking about?’
‘Yeah Ivan, what?’ Lee giggled.
‘Let me explain it, we made a bet to see who would be able to find out if you were a pathetic screamer or a soft m0@n er. I won, you scream too loud it deletes all the plea-sure from the S-x. All I ever digested were thun-der sized headaches, church bell ringing eardrums and confusion. That my dear, is why our S-x life su-cked. I don’t derive plea-sure from girls that are capable of pu-lling my house down on me. Tell me Ivan, how do you manage her? Do you wear earplugs because I certainly did.’
‘I will not have your fv¢king mouth insult my girlfriend!’
‘Do you ever use any other swear word other than fv¢k? And mind you, it’s my leftover.’ Everyone laughed.
‘What’s that Maggie? Is that tears?’ Hailey taunted. ‘Oh, I’m so sorry,’ she mocked. ‘You just weren’t good enough.’
‘Shut up Hailey,’ Ivan snapped. Hailey scowled at him.
‘Wanna make her big boy?’ Lee asked challengingly, jumping down from the table. She loves fighting and I seriously wonder why. Ivan stepped back, knowing fully well she will beat him up to a pulp.
‘Look, we are here to celebr@te Hans return, not fight. If you can’t behave yourself Ivan, then you can leave with your bag of sounds.’
‘Ouch man,’ I laughed at Jet’s comment. He had always disliked Ivan. Many do but I was blind to why.
‘This isn’t over Hans, I won’t st©p until I show you what I’m capable of.’
‘And that is?’ I snorted. ‘You are capable of nothing… Other than failure that is.’
‘Don’t insult me!’
‘I wouldn’t have shown up if I wasn’t at home watching you run around the field like an aimless c0ckroach. I had to come save your low fat as-s, and t help the team rather. What the fv¢k were you doing in the field? You couldn’t even l@yout a single plan or calculate who you were pas-sing to.’
‘Ivan, let’s go,’ Maggie said shakily, tugging at his arm.
‘I know you are just pretending to not care but I know you do. It pains you to see me with Maggie, it burns you. If it didn’t, why weren’t you in school for a month? Why didn’t you show up?’
‘I spent my month strengthening my relationsh!pwith the girl I actually love. And to think I was cheating on her with this thing, hiding her to consider your feeling. Well, I don’t care anymore.’
‘You were cheating on me?’ Maggie g@sped.
‘You’re not the only one I cheat on her with, don’t feel special.’
‘You…’
‘Ivan, you like ma-king me watch you d@t£ my leftover, I don’t mind. Hope you have the heart to bless my relationsh!pwith Iris Hathaway, I’ll be more than glad to introduce you to her on Monday.’
‘You’re joking, right?’
‘Oh, I’m not, didn’t she tell you she had a b©yfri£nd?’ He opened his mouth to say something but shut it back. He took Maggie’s hand and stomped out. I chuckled. The ha-rd est b!ow would be Iris.
🐳 Ivan 🐳
I hammered on iris’s ap@rtment door aggressively, I didn’t believe the lie Hans uttered. Hi omeano on+23354 to be added to story headquarters room .Iris did yell at me countless of time that she had a b©yfri£ndbut I never saw her with a guy so I as-sumed she was lying. It wasn’t true, it couldn’t be true. Hans don’t have the guts to d@t£ the girl I like behind my back.
You never showed or told him about her… My subconscious reminded me.
The way I see it, he knew.
I heard the locks of the door snap open. She tugged the door open, a murderous look on her face. ‘Are you crazy! What are you doing here at this time?!’
I gr@bb£d her bicep r0ûghly and dragged her out of her ap@rtment. ‘Is it true?’
‘What’s true?’
‘You, d@t!ngHans Kendrick.’
‘Yes, now let go of my hand.’
‘That’s not true,’ I chuckled. ‘You’re lying, you’re both lying!’ I yelled. ‘Do you expect me to believe that you are suddenly d@t!nghim?! There is no way in this planet both of you can meet. You’re a church rat and him a castle cat. No way!’
‘Wow, thanks for the insult. If it makes you feel better, then okay, believe what you wanna believe but don’t be too shock when you see him with me. As for how we met, I’m sure you know I work for his cousin.’ I let go of her hand and reeled back.
‘This is a game, you are both pla-ying this to upset me.’
‘If that helps you sleep at night, fine, whatever you say.’
‘Why would you d@t£ him?! What does he have that I don’t?! What did he offer you? Money?!’
‘Love, care, kindness. You knew me for two years, chased me for as long as that but never for once offered to help me save my dying mother. You were fully aware, used it to taunt me sometimes and mocked my background. Hans never did. When he met me, he didn’t look down on me, didn’t insult me whenever I rejected him and come back later like nothing ever happened. He did the first thing I expected you to do, paid my mother’s bills and gave me a comfortable life. I’ve only been seeing him for five months but what he have done for and shown me, is nothing compared to the nothing you have done for me.’
I gritted my teeth together. ‘Five months?’ That was a month before he started d@t!ngMaggie.
‘Yes, five.’
‘You are aware he is just d@t!ngyou for your b©dy, just fv¢king you. He had another girlfriend, one he loves…’
‘One you were slee-ping with,’ she corrected. ‘Maggie Simenon, I know, he told me. And you say he is using me for my b©dy? Just using me for S-xual satisfaction?’ She gave a short dry laugh. ‘Dude, he have never even made me uncomfortable by asking me for S-x, we haven’t gotten to that stage. What did you do the first time we were alone? You tried to r@p£ me.’
‘That…I was drun!k.’
‘Mm hm,’ she sm-irked. ‘Deal with it sweetheart, I’m d@t!nghim and there is nothing you can do about it, end of conversation.’ She walked back into her ap@rtment and slammed the door shut. I inhaled and growled.
This is a game, I won’t fall for it.
