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.
