Here we go first day at a new high school. Nothing will happen I will be fine. For those of you who don't know my name is Jaune arc. Heir to the arc family business and high school student. I was in a different country because of my families business so I didn't really get to see the whole high school experience for at least my first two years. Now I'm enrolling in as a junior, great.
And these are my best friends Nora Valkyrie the bubbly girl who is way stronger than she looks. Then again she is the only female on the wrestling team.
Then there is my other best friend Lie Ren, the stoic from the three of us, he is one of the smartest people in our class and he is the only person who can get Nora to stop most of Nora's crazy plans. We have been friends since we were kids.
So today is my first day of high school and I'm nervous as hell. Then again I'm always nervous, especially after my dad "suggested" I play football, and not the one where you use your foot. No my father was talking about the one where guys get big just to hit each other very hard with pads on while fighting for an egg shaped ball.
But there is an upside to doing football, the cheerleader's tend to hang around the team a lot and there is one girl who really caught my attention. Her name is Pyrrha Nikos, the smartest most beautiful girl I had ever laid my eyes on. But she was out of my league by well, a lot.
But maybe doing football will get her to at least talk to me, she seems very hard to get and doesn't seem to go after any guys. My friend ruby told me that her sister had said that she is very shy and kind of socially awkward, but clearly not as much as me or ruby. But I digress.
Today is the day football tryouts are, well its more for the player to get their confidence up by hitting the weak ones who try out, otherwise it's to see where everyone stands. Then there's me I'm 6 '2" and 145lbs. that means I can play a fair amount of positions but since I played some baseball when I was younger and I was good at pitching I thought to try for the quarterback position. Then again it was the only position available since the previous quarterback graduated to go play in college.
So I thought it would be smart to go after that position, easy to play from what I've seen. But I forgot that on the other side was my sometimes asswipe of a cousin Cardin.
He was about 6'3" and about 200lbs of mostly muscle. He is already being recruited by some of the top colleges in the nation. But he knew why I really wanted to be on the team and he always said he would help him with anything because I got him out of being arrested after he got drunk when we were out one night, long story maybe for another time. He owes my lots of favors thinking about it. I still fear what he'll do to get me one the team. His methods of helping weren't the most orthodox.
Still I can't always rely on someone else all my life I guess it's time to start doing my own work. We got geared up and ready to go and I headed out to the field. O thankfully already warmed up before everyone showed up so I can just practice throwing the ball and learning the plays. Then the whistle blew, and it was time to playa.
Alright he we Jaune you got this all you have to do is score without giving the ball to the other team. This could end badly now thinking about it. Well here we go.
"ARC!, you're up don't let me down!"
"Crap" I whispered to myself.
I got into position and called for a simple run play up the middle just to test the waters. I called hike and gave the ball to the running back, but what I didn't expect was to see Cardin waiting for the back and he completely wreak the guy. I kind of felt bad for him, then again I'm the one who called that play. Whelp I guess it's time to see what I can do. The offense huddled up
"Alright I guess we cannot run the ball without Cardin in the way" I said
"Well no shit Sherlock!" said sun the wide receiver
"Just throw the ball in my area arc and I'll catch it."
"Whelp anyone else got a better plan." I said
No one said anything, "well I guess not alright Cardin is and idiot on three 1…2..3 "Cardin's and idiot!, Break!".
The look on Cardin's face told it all, he's going to hit me so hard I'm going to wake up in a week. Whelp here goes nothing
"Black 4 black 42, Omaha Omaha! Set hike!"
I did my 3 step drop even though I was already in the shotgun position just to give me some extra time. I saw Cardin bust through the offensive lineman, but I also saw sun just barely open. I thought to myself why the hell not he said throw to him in his general area. So I heaved the near suns predicted position and then I saws the ball go in the air an right into suns hands, it looked like he didn't even have to try to make an effort to catch the ball, maybe he's a lot better than I give him credit for. I was snapped out of my monolog by my coach.
"Arc my boy that was one the best throws I have ever seen in my life!"
Wait what
"Yah man that was awesome I didn't even have to be aggressive on the ball it just landed right in my hands that was awesome!" sun said excitingly.
Oh boy this will end well right?
Somewhere in a secluded office
"Hmm it seems Mr. Arc is more than meets the eye."
