Chapter 11: Mitchell and Cameron leave

Chapter 11 - Mitchell and Cameron leaveSaturday, August 30, 2008.

7:00 AM.

The alarm went off, and Andrew opened his eyes. He got up and started changing in front of the mirror, stretching his arms while yawning. He took off the shirt he used as pajamas, exposing his torso and defined abs.

'Did I grow a bit, or is it my imagination?' Andrew thought, observing his reflection. His hair was dark and messy, with a couple of strands always falling over his green eyes.

He was thinking of cutting his hair before starting school, since it was annoying that the locks of hair blocked your vision, especially when making passes.

Andrew stepped closer and then moved back to examine his height in the mirror. Height wasn't something trivial for him. As a quarterback, the taller you are, the better, since it gives you a better view of the field.

Curiously, he looked at the mark on the wall of his room, one he used to track his height. Standing next to it, he noticed a small difference. "From 1.77 to 1.78... not bad," he murmured, pleased. It was a small change, but enough. He was now among the taller guys in his class.

After that, he finished changing. He


Andrew quickly showered and had breakfast with Mitchell and Cameron, who, after finishing, ordered a taxi to head to the airport. They already had their suitcases and everything else ready.

"Remember, if anyone asks, we went to celebrate our anniversary," Mitchell said at the door of the house, looking at Andrew. The adoption of the baby was something no one in the family knew. Only Andrew and the two of them.

"Yeah, I got it," Andrew nodded.

"What if Claire tells you that our anniversary was two months ago?" Cameron asked.

"I'll reply that we couldn't celebrate because of Father's work and that we waited until the holidays," Andrew answered, having already studied the responses Mitchell and Cameron gave him to handle any situation.

"That's it, you've got it. We're leaving, be good and have fun. We'll come back with your new little sister!" Cameron said excitedly, shouting the last part. Mitchell motioned for him to keep it down since it was supposed to be a secret. They said their goodbyes to Andrew and got into the cab.

"The house to myself..." Andrew muttered as he entered and closed the door behind him.

It was still too early to message his friends about the little get-together he was having that night. Most likely, they were still asleep.

He decided to play video games and then do his individual football training.

As he played Fallout 3, Andrew thought about high school, especially football. At this stage, things are more serious compared to middle school.

There's a state tournament, not just a district one. In his past life, he managed to win the state tournament, although he died right after making the pass that resulted in a touchdown.

State tournaments are closely watched by recruiters from both local and national universities, looking for new talent. Players who stand out in these tournaments can receive sports scholarships from universities with top-tier football programs, which is the first step toward a professional career.

Andrew is confident for two reasons.

First, he has already experienced playing in a state tournament and advancing through all the stages as a starting quarterback.

Second, his level as a quarterback and player has improved compared to his past self. His technique has improved after ten years of training, and his physique is better than Ethan's past one, despite being only fifteen years old, one year younger than before.

However, he will take this stage very seriously, as he can stand out from the beginning and attract the attention of university recruiters or even NFL scouts.

After finishing his gaming session, he used the backyard to practice passes and different drills. He finished at 3 p.m., taking brief breaks to catch his breath and drink water.

'Messages sent,' thought Andrew, having already informed his friends about the gathering that night. He told them they could invite their classmates if they wanted.

As for him, he prefers fewer people, as there will be less to clean up afterward. Also, his sleep routine would be affected, but it's just one day. It's not a big problem.
