Today is the day” Evan said. It was the big day of the soccer championship of the 17-18 year olds and it was his last day, last year on a soccer team before college. He was in his bed sitting up looking around the room. He saw his little fish swimming around in his fish tank. All of his soccer trophies and medals from past victories and teams. So he wanted it to be the best one and finish out in style since he was the starting center forward. Evan got out of bed, jumped up and hit his head against the ceiling. His mom yelled to him “What was that noise!?! But, breakfast is ready, come and get it before it gets cold sweetie.” He puts on his black and grey underarmer, his black and white jersey, and his black shorts and goes downstairs to breakfast.Evan looks at a picture of his dad on the wall as he goes down the wooden stairs. Evan gets kind of sad and happy at the same time and says to himself “Dad I’m going to be as great as you were.” His father was killed in a soccer game from someone going up for the ball with their feet and hitting him in the head killing him instantly. Evan always looked up to his dad for everything, like playing soccer and being a good, respectable man. Evan kissed the necklace around his neck, which was a golden soccer ball that his dad would have won if he hadn’t of died that day. He got to the bottom of the stairs and turned off the light to the upstairs. He turned towards the kitchen and the sun was shining brightly, coming through the kitchen window and it lit up the whole room. His feet got cold as soon as he touched the tiled kitchen floor and said “WOW, that’s cold, burr”. Evan’s mom said “Then why don’t you put some socks on then silly.” Evan sits down and his mom had made him his favorite breakfast. It includes scrambled eggs with a little bit of salt and pepper, five slices of crispy bacon not cooked too much or too little, home fries with some hot peppers to give it a little heat and onions to mellow it out, while being cooked in some of the bacon grease, but last but not least three large pancakes the size of a hand! To drink it all down was a large glass of whole milk. While Evan was eating his mom asked him “How do you think you will do today?” and finished the last bite of his eggs and said “We are going to win!! I mean I’m on the team, dah.” He laughed.Evan got in the blue minivan with the SOCA sticker on the back of the car and they left for the game. He was in the passenger side listening to music getting him pumped up for the game. He thought in his head “This game is going to be my own little World Cup!” while listening to “We Are the Champions” by Queen. He gets out of the car and thinks he sees his father in the stands about to watch the game and he looks back and he is wasn’t there. Evan thinks “Did I just see my dad, that can’t be??” The game starts and Evan isn’t really feeling that good, playing wise that is, he thinks he is being slow and he is missing balls and not passing well. The soccer game feels to him that its being played around him and the coach sits him on the bench. The referee blows his whistle for half time. Evan is bummed that he is playing so bad and the team is just tied instead of crushing the other team at this point. The half time is almost over and someone whispers in his ear “Come on, you’ve got this boy. I know you are great, so get out there and show me you are as great as I was!” Evan turns his head around and no one is there and feels really spooked and then thinks “Its dad he believes in me, he watching me.” He kisses his golden soccer ball on his necklace and tells the coach hes got it now and will not dissapoint him. Evan goes out in the second half and dominates. He passes the balls great, got to the balls great and scored two times. He was very proud of himself because he knew his father watched him play and from now on knew he was watching over him.
