We will be friends forever

It was raining heavily that very day as Austin walks back from the football field, he is cursing both the rain and the referee that officiated the match he just played in, "stupid ref, I don't even know who invited him to this tournament, he is obviously played to make us lose". He furiously kicked everything that comes his way, the referee has been partial in his judgment, Austin knew his team played very well to win but the referee was not having any of it, he ruled all three goals they scored as offside and when a shot was blocked by Gidi, the captain of Austin's team, he said it was a hand ball, even when the goalkeeper kept it out, he ordered a replay Austin was very angry, he has given his all for this match, he prepared and played it excellently, had the referee been honest, he would have gotten two goals and an assist but No, he chose to be partial "Hey man, stop" Austin doesn't recognize the voice nor was he in the mood for any talks now, he doesn't need any company, so he kept walking, increasing his pace but the owner of the voice was running towards him, so Austin stopped and turning, he found out the boy calling him is a member of the team they lost to, he remember him as he was a good player and dribbled past his teammates that they assigned two players to mark him, in a fair match, Austin would have loved to meet him, but not this match, his team cheated and he hate all of them "What is it man, do you want another penalty" The boy was smiling making Austin more angry "Oooh, you think it's funny?, you people are disgraceful, why cheat, if you don't want to play, say so, why cheat your way through?, is this what your coach teach you guys, how to dive around and bribe referees? I don't want to talk to you please!" "But man, did you see me dive?, when they gave the penalty did you see me celebrate?, I know we cheated and am sorry" the boy was looking at Austin with eyes full of pity "You didn't but your team did, so you are part of them" Austin was not having any of it "Not any longer, bro" "What do you mean by not any longer?, where u hired to play?", Austin asked looking suspicious "cut it man, I wasn't hired, that is my team, but I don't want to play for them any longer cause our coach keeps bribing referees and this won't help me to develop as a player, I need to play in a fair match to develop, that why I want to meet you, cause you truly impressed me today and I will like to join your team" "Am sorry bro, we don't welcome cheats in our team, I have to go" Austin started walking away "I ran all the way from the field shouting your name till I finally caught up with you here bro, at least that shows am truly sorry and also ready to join your team, why are you treating me this way" the boy's eyes was red and Austin could tell he was shedding tears although the rain didn't allow it to be obvious, he looked at the boy and felt pity, he was the best player among their opponent today, he didn't support the referees decisions and he came here to say sorry, Austin told himself he would need the heart of a monster to actually be able to turn this boy down "Am sorry man, you know the match made me very angry, but looking back now, I know I shouldn't have treated you like I did" "No, I deserve it, my team's attitude was disgraceful" "It's alright man, well my name is Austin" "Am Justin" "No wonder you was against your teams attitude " they were laughing now "Cut it man, my name have nothing to do with it" "It have everything to do with it, Justin with the justice, haha" "you are funny bro, do you live down the road" "Yes my lord" Austin was still laughing "please stop, I don't want to laugh too hard, my stomach is paining me" "Haha, so you live along this road too" "Yes, moved in a week ago" "Wow, let's keep moving down, so about our team, we train everyday by 4pm except on Wednesdays and Sundays" "Ok, I will be there on Monday, just help me and talk to your teammates so they won't eat me alive when I come" "No problem, have you started school?" "No, am still looking for the best school for me around here" "You can come to my school, so we can go to school together " "Ok, I will talk to my mom about it, what's the name" "Lord passion school complex" "Ok, so, for you is football just for fun or you actually want to make it as a professional? " "Well, I love the sports so if I get the opportunity to be a professional, I will be glad" Austin was smiling, he always imagined playing in Europe with all the fans cheering him as he dribble past defenders and hit those top corner shots "See how he is smiling, for me, I love football too and it's the only thing I want to do" "Yes ooh, just pray this country will give us the opportunity to show ourselves" "Keep praying to the country, me am praying to God " Austin laughs "cut it man, you know what I meant, pray to God too" he didn't even realize he is passing his house till he look around, "I have passed my house ooh, you want to sell me abii? He jokes smiling "Did I tell you to follow me, which building do you live in " "That yellow and brown four storey over there, I live on the second floor by the right, if you want to visit me and enter the left flat, nah u sabi ooh" "Stupid boy, do you think I will visit you, haha, meanwhile I live in that white building over there, not the second one oooh, the first one before you pass my house and enter that one that have big dog, haha," "Am not a JJC(Jonny just come, a term use to refer to people that came to a place newly), I know all the houses here" "Haha, I salute you, Mr. House manager" "Haha, you people live in the whole building? " "No ooh, we live in the first floor, if you just climb the front stairs, the door by your left" "Ok, we will see later , turns to go, "yes, before i forget, which church do you attend? " "Am a catholic, what of you? " "Same, so if you will be attending the eight o'clock mass, come and call me" "Ok ooh, wait for me ooh, I will come" "Oya na, bye" "Bye"
