Chapter 72: Superbowl
Chapter 70
Terrance came up to me. "Thanks, bro. I can't believe I'm actually going to watch the Super Bowl at the stadium!"
Terrance was 1.80 meters tall and weighed 130 kilos. A giant—even among the 12th graders. And yet, he was in our grade, 9th. (Though not in our class.)
He's not exactly the brightest mind, to say the least. But he's someone I can actually talk to about football—American football, to be clear—and he really knows his stuff.
"How's it been, being the linebacker for our school?" I asked.
"It's been awesome, man. The upperclassmen are cool too," he said with a big grin.
"Nice." I thought to myself, you're like a giant bear. No sane person would pick a fight with that.
"Hey, I gotta go. The detention, you know..."
"I told you that wasn't necessary..."
"Nah, it's all good, bro," he said and walked off.
He got in trouble two months ago. He saw two boys were talking trash about me. He beat them to a pulp. I never asked him to do that, and I didn't give him anything before or after. He just said, "That's what friends do." That was it.
So yeah, when the tickets for the Super Bowl came in and I saw I had a whole VIP suite to myself, I didn't even hesitate. I sent him a message right away: "Wanna join me in the stadium box?"
