Chapter 255 The University 5 (1/2)

After another day of classes and training with the basketball team, Jake returned to the dorm again, after Jake started training for the basketball team no one asked him what he was doing and they always expected him to come back for dinner together.

The good part of the universities was that you could set up your daily schedule, Jake wanted a full training and so did a lot more classes and fit perfectly into the training time and coincided with having the same schedules as William.

As classes were easy for Jake he intended in the future maybe the graduate and maybe more in the future, so he would make his mother more proud, that day when they went out to dinner Zack started talking what he was thinking a few days ago.

”I think we're already friends after spending so much time together before I decided we wouldn't talk about personal matters to make you more comfortable but to be true friends we have to get to know each other better.”

”Of course one can choose what to say and what to keep to oneself, as I suggested it I'll talk about myself first.”

”I was born in this very state of North Carolina, my family lived in a city not far from here, so I could come to university and that city first to know the best places to eat and where to go.”

”I have a living father and mother and they live in the city where I lived since it's near here, I have a brother who is a year older than me and studies at this university since last year.”

”I'm doing this university just because my parents want it, I like to run sometimes, but just for fun.”

Zack was very honest and talked about almost everything in his life, so he left Jake and William in a situation that they had better say as much as they could to share so they wouldn't look bad, it was William who spoke later.

”I came from New York and wanted to study here because I'm a fan of Michael Jordan, I have a living father and mother and I have a little sister named Lili, I came to study here because I want to be a great businessman one day and make millions on the stock market. of values ​​when I get back home.”

William talked less about him, but said things necessary for Jake and Zack to know a little more about his life, after the two of them it was Jake's turn to talk more about his life, Jake was probably the one who had more to talk about and decided to talk only about things that people already knew.

”I'm from Miami, I just have my mom with me named Eva, I'm on the basketball team here at school and I also run marathons professionally.”

”I came to this university to fulfill my mother's dream to see me graduate from a university and also from the basketball team she has at that university and also to gain more knowledge about business and economics.”

The two just looked at Jake and said nothing, Jake knew they didn't believe him, but it was the truth so he was calm about it, in time they would know everything anyway.

”So you were going to basketball training after school every day, I confess I didn't expect it, it's normal for some people to come to that college for basketball.”

”Me and William here are also basketball fans and with your height, you can really get a spot, but what do you mean by running marathons professionally? I ran some marathons too, I didn't finish, but I ran.”

”I say I'm a pro because I won a major marathon in Chicago last year, I came second in the New York marathon and got the gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics that year.”

Zack was trying to make Jake's statement more real by slightly diminishing what he said he was doing, but after what Jake said about his achievements as a pro he couldn't say anything anymore.

”Actually, I didn't expect it to be so hard for you to believe that, didn't you watch the Olympics this year?”

In fact, neither of them had attended the Olympics this year, William was busy organizing things to come to college and never really enjoyed watching sports competitions like basketball and football and baseball.

Zack hadn't attended for the same reason as William, he sometimes came to the university to get to know the campus and the city and not feel lost when classes started, so he didn't have time for that.

Even though Jake was famous on television, it was only when he was in a competition or on a television show that no one watched the marathons or knew about Jake.

Maybe some with better memories might recognize Jake because of the television commercials or the Olympic broadcast, but usually, people didn't expect to see someone on television right in front and think it's just like.

Zack and William then had to believe that Jake was telling the truth, even if they didn't quite believe that being on the basketball team was easier to believe and confirm.
