There are some tough decision you make at times just to scale through some circumstances and you end up regretting them,instead of you to be happy you find yourself doing otherwise.the goal was a wonderful one which is suppose to be highly Celebrated but due to the situation on ground only few people celebrated me while others were running hectar scatter to the goal post in other to save the goal keeper who has already stopped breathing laying lifeless on the floor with Blood tripping out from his nose and ear. The feelings of guilt surge through me and my legs started shaking like an epileptic patient as I saw the best keeper I have played with so far been surrounded by students at that point I started praying vibrantly for him not to die.i was still deep into my meditation when someone tap my shoulder from the back and I turned to see Adaego ,vincent,adaeze and anabel at my back smiling cheerfully which reduce my pain a little as I forced a smile out of my lips too.
“calm down dude, everything will be alright”.Vincent cautiously retorted with a. Cheerful smile.
“is not that it is even youŕ fault, you made us proud don’t worry please just free youŕ mind”.adaeze said staring at my eye brows directly Like she wanted to remove my pain from them.
“yeah, I did but at the contraction of someone life, what if he… “.
“he won’t die”. Adaego interrupted my speech with a sharp blunt Voice.
“he just fainted and will soon be up on his feet with proper medication”.she added and I stare at her with my mind a little bit at ease at the sound of her sweet melodious voice which always heal my wound and calm my heart.
“please just calm down OK!,atleast for us, your friends”.Anabel elucidated slowly.
“yes we are always here for you, that is what friends are for”.Vincent added and I exhale deeply. We watch as gabriel is been carried into the school bus on a stretcher and they drove out slowly out of the premises and I said my last prayer pleading for his life.
We were called back to the field and the ss2 pass their ball signifying another start,a new keeper is seen standing on the goal Post as they played, yes they cos my mind was not at rest I felt like been substituted as I stare at the second keeper with the fear of playing a ball toward him in other not to break his head again like the previous encounter with Gabriel. As fate will have it the referee blow his final whistle which signify the end of the match and a pure winning to the ss1 as people started trouping into the field to congratulate us with shout of joy forgetting that someone is in the hospital cos of the match played, this is really football, anything can happen.

“you came to this school just two weeks ago on a scholarship,and I sat in my office thinking so loud on why a school will award one of their own a scholarship to leave the school but I was unable to picture a good reason out of my mind. Now I know why, they actually sent you out of the school not that they awarded you as it seems to like,they sat down and plan on how to send you out because they saw your star, because you are more than them,you are greater than the whole School, you are a conqueror!!”.the principal exclaimed aloud and people shouted in affirmative.
“call him conqueror!!”.the principal shouted.

“I said call him conqueror!”.the principal shouted again.
“conqueror!!!!!”.the students shouted back.
“I once told your mom that this School need you just like they need the staffs,you came to this school as a bare footed boy,embarrassed by your fellow mate, punished unjustly by people who felt your are not suppose to be in their mist,yes they are very correct. You are not suppose to be in their mist you are suppose to be in a league of people greater than them, above their standard over their reach, but above all you remain determined and focus keep it up wealth,the sky is not just your limit but your stepping stone”.he concluded and he pulled me into a tight hug for minutes before releasing me and I thank him Ernestly for his courageous advice and statements.he hand the cup over to me followed by echoes of uproar from the cloud and he also gave a golden medal to all my other teammate including uncle Victor as they smile cheerfully with joy.
“am sorry sir I cannot take this medal, it belong to Gabriel Johnson he deserve it”.i bluntly elucidated when he wanted to put my own medal on my neck and he smiled.
“you are not just good but also meek in Heart keep it up boy”.he replied and gave me the silver medal that was suppose to be giving to Gabriel before and he kept the gold medal for him.
