35

The days leading up to Win's match was packed with training sessions. They had to make sure that they win so that they will get to play for the semi finals and then the finals as well. Three full games. They even decided to practice on Saturday and Sunday so Win didn't really get much time to hang around with his friends during lunch or after school but as for Bright he they had managed to call each other every night and talk for an hour or so.

Things at the club was getting pretty busy for Bright with the compiling of the previous work and getting prints of them all to file and keep.

Monday finally came by and the football players came in their jerseys since they had to go to the stadium instead of attending the morning assembly like the others.

"Good luck, you're gonna win this for sure", Bright told Win and waited for all the players to board the school bus that will be taking the players to the stadium. Win boarded last since he was the captain and he took responsibility for the head count and checking if they had everything needed.

"I hope so. Pray for me alright"

"I will. Now go", Bright said and Win closed the doors of the bus and waved at Bright as the bus started moving out.

"Remember you guys. All this practice shouldn't go to waste. Think of that trophy coming back home, to our school where it belongs", Win told his team mates to motivate them.



"So I'm betting you 100 bucks that Win will score two goals for today's match", Off told his friends at the lunch table.

"I'm guessing they are going in for penalty and Saint will have the winning shot", Luke added.

"I don't know the football team that well so I have no opinion", Dew said when Off and Luke looked at him for his prediction which was fair enough so they turned to Bright who was constantly checking his phone. He was now behaving like how Win was when he was waiting for his junior's result.

"Bright?", Luke called out, nudging him a bit to bring him back to the conversation.

"I just know they will win this"

Just then on cue, they heard a lot of chaos which was coming from the front of the school which gave a lot of relief to everyone at the table. Especially Bright.

'You did it'

They heard thundering footsteps coming towards the cafeteria which made everyone look towards the door. All the students were all set to cheer for the semi finalists. The players barged in through the doors, still in their jerseys, celebrating around with everyone. Since everything was now chaotic, Bright and his table couldn't see what was happening at the front.

"I guess we should wait for everything to settle down", Off told his friends and they stayed in their place watching the celebration. Bright wanted to see Win so bad, he must be so happy right now, he thought.

They finally saw someone suddenly darting towards Bright and hugging him tight which caught him by surprise but he knew who it was and hugged the other one back with the same passion.

"We did it Bright! Can you believe this?", Win said, still not letting go.

"Did you just leave that team celebration to hug Bright?", Off asked. Some people from the cafeteria seemed to have noticed what had happened in the other side of the cafeteria. The captain of the team left the celebration to be with the one he loved the most.

"I told you, you can do it", Bright said, slowly pulling apart and patted on his head. "Good job"
