IT WAS BRIGHT and early 5:45 AM on a saturday to be exact. It was Saturday practice, it didn't start till 8:00 AM but my father has always told me to be the first one to be there and the last to leave; that's how a coach will remember your face.
"Oh- Darnell you scared me." Coach Carter smiled.
"Sorry coach." I smiled slightly.
"What are you doing here so early?" He asked.
"Just thought I'd get a head start sir." I nod.
He sat down next to me.
"You know you're one of the hardest working kids on the team." He pats my back.
"I would hope so sir." I smiled.
"You know I see you after practice son, who's that girl you're always with?" He asked.
"That would be Athena- my soon to be girlfriend." I admit.
"Keep her around, she seems like a keeper." He smiled.
"I forgot to tell you, University of texas." He admit blankly.
"University of Texas what?" I asked not following.
"Mike Campbell, their defensive coordinator, is somebody who trusts my word. And he thinks a little different than most coaches." He admit.
"At University of Texas?" I asked.
"Yeah." He nods.
I stared at him an Awe.
"M- Me?" I stuttered pointing to my chest.
"No guarantees, of course." He warned.
"Well, did they show any interest?" I asked.
"Well, they came up yesterday to recruit Asher."
He explained.
