Chapter 245 The Olympics 1 (1/2)

Eva was very happy when Jake returned home and even more so when she received Tom Cruise's autograph, she was very proud to know that her son would be in a movie with Tom Cruise.

She didn't have to wait long to see, Jake showed her the camcorder footage, the picture quality was much lower than the cinema, but Eva was happy to see her son performing with Tom Cruise.

Of course Jake explained that if this was put into the movie he wouldn't appear with Tom Cruise in the scene, yet she didn't care, it was cool enough to see her son playing a great actor.

Over the next few weeks Jake spent his training, he was focused on winning for sure at the Olympics, the school also ended after a few weeks and Jake didn't attend prom as he said he wouldn't.

He wasn't a party-keeper, and besides the people in his room and some people on the basketball and football team, he had no one he knew at this ball, and even if he does, it wouldn't hurt everyone's ball.

Everyone closest to Jake who studied with him got great grades and went to the universities that took the test, of course, he still had to know if they would be accepted by the universities.

Basketball and football teams would have the help of the school as promised to them when they all transferred to Elite school, of course not everyone would receive a scholarship.

But just the opportunity to go to university would be something many young people would fight for, so everyone was pleased, having entered the elite school that had a good reputation helped all students get a chance at university.

Jake had a party at his house after the prom and called all his classmates, his teammates in basketball and football, everyone who was invited to the party showed up and was surprised to see Jake's mansion.

Few students outside the basketball team knew that Jake was rich, many were prejudiced and also thought that Jake was poor for getting into the school through a scholarship, but now they realized how foolish they were, Jake never needed a scholarship with how he had as much money as he was smart.

That was a happy day when they would meet maybe for the last time, some let it slip that Jake would attend the Olympics and everyone promised they would watch and cheer for Jake, Jake thought he was lucky not to say he had participated in the Tom Cruise movie.

At the end of the party Jake stayed with only his closest friends, he talked much more with his basketball teammates, after all even though Jake intended to keep in touch with them was not something that could be guaranteed.

He also wanted to keep in touch with his teammates he had before moving to Elite school, but now he couldn't find anyone else to talk to, Jake didn't even know if they entered a university or started work.

That's why Jake had the idea of ​​having a party like this, he didn't like the ball and so he had to create a similar event to have good memories of all his friends after everyone left only Joseph had been left behind.

Joseph would later go to Princeton University to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, and Liza wanted to help Joseph after college if she was to marry him, but as they were not even engaged she decided to do journalism at Columbia University.

So they would be separated for 4 years while studying, that would be a good test to know if they would really love each other even after 4 years without being able to spend much time together, Jake would also have to separate from his best friend.

But their friendship was harder to break, after all, Jake would still always keep in touch with Matthew and Oliver, plus he would have 5 percent of the company stock that Joseph would have to take on in the future.

Even though Jake felt emotional about having to part with a friend who stayed with him for 7 years, after those years apart Jake wanted them to remain, friends, Joseph felt the same way.

”Our school time is over, isn't it?”

”At least high school is over, we still have university and a few more years to study and say it's really over.”

”Are you going to be okay staying so long away from Liza?”

”I will miss her, fortunately, we can see each other several times in those 4 years, after that we will be ready to think about marriage.”

”Study well over the next few years and you'll be ready to take over your grandfather's company.”

”I will, luckily I'll still have you to help me when the time comes.”

”You can count on me.”

”I hope you succeed in college basketball at the university you are going to, and also in the Olympics this year if you have time to get a girlfriend for you too.”
