5: Making It Official

*Cory*

“So the decision has been made Cory Smith, you have decided to go to University Of Florida, how does it feel?”

It was signing day and I was finally getting to sign that contract to be an official Gator, it took some time but finally Alia made her decision. So the whole plan was already set, I was going to finally meet the girl of my dreams.

“It feels great, I’m finally going to a school that has a good football team and great advantages for me to bring them to a BCS Championship and regain that title for a few years,” my mom cleared her throat and I smiled, “More or less my education does matter too, so I’m trying to make the best of learning and balancing football at the same time.” I explained and the reporters started swarming around my front porch.

 I walked in with Coach McCain and the Assistant coach, Coach Nesting then sat at the dining table and slid the contract towards me and I looked at it. This was the big day well besides other things; this was one of days that I have really been waiting for in my life.

“Are you ready to become a Gator?” coach McCain said and I smiled and nodded my head.

“More than ever.”

He handed me the pen and I signed exactly on the dotted line next to his signature. We both got up and gave each other a firm handshake and he gave me a Gators snapback and my mom took thousands of pictures and the assistant coach took pictures with me maybe for their website then it officially became the start of my life.

“Mr. Smith, we will see you in August.” Coach McCain said and I nodded my head.

My future was officially starting.

Once I escorted them out, I saw double the reporters and Alex was literally swallowed by them.

“Ay yo!” he yelled reaching out his hand and I walked through the crowd and walked over to Alex and just saw the swarm of news and reporters come over to me with cameras and tape recorders.

“Mr. Smith how does it feel to be playing for the Gators?” they questioned.

“Great.” I said and grabbed Alex; I really didn’t want him to be out there by himself while the reporters camped out in my front door.

We ran into the house and locked the door behind us and we ran upstairs.

“Nigga, man you…” he sighed and I smiled, he knew why I made this decision.

I sat down on my bed and smiled then clicked onto Alia’s twitter profile. Damn was I fascinated with her, very much at that and if it took me going to the same school as her just to see her then so be it.

“Man you were really serious about going to school with this chick?” he questioned and I smiled.

When I said something was going to happen it will happen.

“Yeah, I really like her even after we started talking on the phone, I think its for real, I really want to meet her.” Alex shook his head and leaned back on the sofa that I had in my room.

Alex really wasn’t up for all these things that I was doing for one chick because there were other fishes in the sea but hey I wanted my own one of the kind fish. A lot of things came through my head like what if this chick really didn’t like me? Hey if she didn’t then I was going to continue my football career and try to get over her then look for the next chick.

“Man you tripping, but hey it’s your life.” He said and nodded my head then took a picture of the gator snapback and tagged Alia in it.

@69StreetChef: @MoreThan_Tweets: Now You Believe Me? Lol See You In August Boo.

I smiled once I sent that tweet and lay back in my bed, but then was suddenly pulled up again by a phone call from Tia, my ex.

Me and Tia were together for more than a year and come to find out she was more in a relationship with my football status than me. I mean what type of girl would just fall in love with you because you are a football player? Tia. I know the reason she was calling me, it was because I signed with a Florida team and she been trying to go to Florida for the longest due to the fact that Chicago was cold as fuck as Florida was like a damn sauna.

“What?” I answered the phone with straight attitude and I could hear her scoff and roll her eyes.

“I just wanted to call you and tell you congrats on going to University of Florida.” She said and I laughed.

I know this chick and how she act and she wasn’t just calling me to congratulate me, she called me to try and hang out with me just because I was hitting the big tops.

“Thank you and bye.” I hung up not even trying to listen to another world because she was going to start to bring up shit that I didn’t want to think about because me and her was done and over with.

My Kanye West ringtone came up and I got a mention and immediately went on twitter knowing that it was from Alia.

@MoreThan_Tweets: @69StreetChef Lol I hope that you come and see me first.

@69StreetChef: @MoreThan_Tweets Lol Just Say When

I smiled and put my phone back down and Alex looked at me and shook his head.

“Man you’re ass is sprung off of this chick man, just hope she don’t reject your ass on the spot when she see you. Cause you know some people in person is not the same as over the internet.”

“I know that man.” I said and sighed.

I know Alex was my best friend and he cared for me but I wanted to find love on my own just this time.
