Chapter 9: School Tournament - Part 1 (1/2)
The next morning, Amon woke up before the alarm clock and went downstairs. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he walked into the living room.
There, breakfast was already prepared and Amon began to eat in silence.
After eating, Sonia said: ”Your uniform is already here. Wear it and see how it looks.” Sonia smiled.
”Okay…” Amon took it and went to change. He looked at the foot weights that weighed 50 pounds each and wore it.
Minutes later he returned.
He wore a blue blazer with a white T-shirt and blue pants along with a black tie.
Amon looked very handsome in his school uniform, even Maisa felt her heart jump when she saw him, but she hid it.
Julia was more 'cheerful' and said, ”You look beautiful.”
”Oh! Thank you.” Amon said nonchalantly, even when he received a compliment from a Julia-level beauty.
After that, he said, ”Are we leaving now?”
”Yea.” Julius patted his shoulder as usual and smiled.
After that, they got into the BMW and Julius drove to school.
Their arrival was the sensation of the school. After all, last time Amon caused a little stir and had some mothers and fathers who wanted him to be expelled.
Some students were smiling happily, mostly men, as they were angry at Amon for being able to be around two beauties like Maisa and Julia.
Without changing his expression, even though everyone was looking at him, Amon entered. Afterwards, he walked towards the classroom as if nothing had happened and sat in the same seat he had sat in the last time.
The students looked at him with their mouths wide open.
The parents, who were there started making a fuss saying that they would take their kids out of school if he stayed, but the director just messed with his beard and said, ”Really? So when are you going to transfer them? Do you want me to write a letter of recommendation?”
This response, from the director himself, made the parents tremble with fear. They only threatened that to force Amon's expulsion, they didn't really want their kids to leave this school since it was one of the best in town.
If they left, where would they go? To a worse school? Of course they wouldn't accept that.
”Why? He's a delinquent who burned his own grandparents!” A fat woman yelled through the crowd.
”Are you serious? Know that there are cameras all over the school and slander can get you arrested, are you sure you mean that?” Professor Flávia asked indifferently.
”I, I…” The woman fell on her ass.
”You fools, if he had committed what they say he did, why wasn't he indicted? Why was he accepted to this school? Do you really think we accept any rubbish at this school?” The director said calmly: ”This is all slander, he did no such thing, not least because Amon wasn't even close when the fire happened. He was in the village's local market and the cameras filmed him; the fire happened at the same time as he was shopping for the month.”
”That…” Everyone was surprised to hear this.
”So it was all a lie? But why would anyone do that?”
”Who knows; but it can only be someone who knows what happened to Amon's grandparents.”
”Poor man, no wonder he was angry before; they accused him of killing the very grandparents who raised him.”
The roles were reversed, now the people around them felt sorry for Amon as they tried to find the culprit.
”You can look at the cameras!” The guy who found the paper and caused all this fuss said.
”Yes, in the classrooms and in the hallways there are cameras, it could be possible that it was filmed!”
”Yes, let's see the video from the cameras!”
Elijah was in a cold sweat.
He shivered and said, ”Since my brother is not guilty, shouldn't we just let it go? He's already suffered too much, better get this over with as soon as possible. And, we don't even know if the cameras caught the culprit, it's not worth waiting for something uncertain.”
”But I still think we should see, as this is a serious case!” Another student said.
The director coughed and said, ”Well, the tournament will start soon, let's check it after the tournament, how about that?”
”Yes, Yes!” The mothers and fathers who messed up before were the first to agree.
They were ashamed to stay there.
Amon looked coolly at Elijah but was silent.
After that they started with the first sport tournament, which was football.
It was between classes, Amon's class was class 303 and it was against class 301, that was Elijah's.
Amon has never played football before, but he quickly learned the rules and was chosen as a forward.
Elijah wanted to beat Amon for some reason and kept targeting him.
Amon didn't care and when the ball was thrown in his direction, he dribbled around Elijah beautifully and passed him with the ball.
Going towards the goal, Amon thought of several different paths in seconds when he was blocked. And, without them even knowing, made the ball pass through the legs of one of the opposing players with his heel. He then kicked the ball up into the air and caught it with his chest and continued to dribble past everyone until he reached the goal.
His foot recoiled back, and then he kicked the ball.
”Bang!”
The ball became oval with his kick, it was so strong that the goalkeeper peed his pants and didn't even want to try to catch the ball, but rather dodge it.
Are you crazy? He would die if it hit him.
The crowd went wild, they never saw a game like this in high school.
Applause with screams and whistles were everywhere.
Even some girls started screaming, ”Amon, Amon, Amon!!”
When the ball hit the net, it broke and the ball exploded into the wall.
This made the goalkeeper literally pee his pants and be thankful for being able to dodge. The goalkeeper was replaced, as the current one ran out in fear.
A few gasps of cold air sounded everywhere.
This was too strong.
