Chapter 1 - pretty dead

World started with people there. Athletes, entertainers, geniuses and other skilled individuals are figures people love and aspire to be. The best of these individuals are those who strive, work and succeed. But the greatest of these individuals are those who live.

Reporter: here we go, the england football association are preparing their home teams for a tough international competition. Fifa has just announced a champions league tournament for the youth players. It's called "youth champions league tournament". With clubs and academies competing.

Reporter: It's said the best of the home clubs gets to represent england in the international stages. This definitely pumps up the adrenaline of strong and interested diamonds(youth players) who want to make a name for themselves. What do you think this debleopment brings, coach?

Coach devil noe: it doesn't matter really. Whatever the reason and what it brings is none of our concern. The biggest and only valid reason england are so jacked for this tournament is because we want to cure our stagnation both in the European and world competitions. Thus, we have made plans to summon our best weapons to win. However, what does it truly take to win? Whatever it is, that's what england has been lacking. The england youth players are going to find out 'this' by themselves.

Tv: It's a new season. There has been some team predictions.....

Mom: oh some boring football news. Norio, quit your games and come get your bag. You are late for school.

Norio: my pancakes?

Mom: they are ready.

Norio: okay. But...my Pokemon game is still going. I want to continue playing.

Mom: sighs. Norio, you gotta go to school. You this lazy bum. Your games are the reason you have no friends. You don't socialize Norio. Try to make more friends, okay? My sweet little potato. Here's some cash, grab anything you like.

Norio: yes! Mon, don't call me a potato.

Mon: come on. Mom meant that in a good way.

Norio: am off now, bye.

Mom: yeah. Take care of yourself, norio! And don't forget to bring your bag back with you cause it's too heavy.

Norio: no.....

Mom: oh, my little boy. He's grown really tall. 6foot3 when I last checked, how tall is he now?

Norio arrives at his school. The highland park high school. A quite rich and enormous school. Norio had to work a little to get into.

Norio: sighs. Now am at this troubling school again. Oh.

Norio pass the school's gate and walks towards the school compound. Looking at young boys playing football. Dressed in all white, shirt, trousers and jacket like every other student. He turned around to look at someone that called him. He matched his school's uniform with his white Schoolbag with a showing black zip and a white shoe, with white socks covered by the trousers. He has apparently bold build, a tall boy is said to be 6 foot 3 tall. He has short white hair, and black eyes. The person that called him his schoolmate.

Mane: hey.

Norio: oh... You.

Mane: yeah, I. Came here to watch on the football team, it's amazing. You watching too?

Norio: ah no. You caught me just arriving here.

Mane: okay, wanna watch?

Norio: no, I want to go to class.

Mane pulls Norio's bag, dragging him back as he tried to walk away.

Mane: yeah, I think you will watch.

Norio: huh.

Mane: chuckles.

Norio: oh.

Norio and mane watch the football club fron afar joining the other spectators in the school.

Principal: hey, hey. Who is here by this time?

Norio: oh, principal.

Mane: hi principal.

Principal: stop acting as if am not here because of you, tall boy.

Norio: huh?

Principal grabs Norio and pulls him with him.

Mane: chuckles.

Principal: come here. Where have you been during club hours.

Norio: have been at the football club.

Principal: can you play football?

Norio: no. I've never even kicked a ball.

Principal: okay. Have you joined a club yet?

Norio: um...

Principal: what?

Norio: I don't know.

Principal: you don't know?

Norio: yes.

Principal: are you joking?! I already told you to go find a club. If you don't, we will put you in one. The representative club. You are brilliant anyway, you fit.

Norio: no. I have already found one. The football club, am here now. So it's settled then.

Principal: you joined the football club? What? You?

Norio: yeah.

Principal: ha ha ha ha ha! Am sorry, but you joined the football club despite the fact that you admitted to have never kicked a ball ever?

Norio: yes.

Principal: oh my goodness boy. You must truly think football is a baby's play. Are you out of your mind, even pros say it's not easy to play football. How can you join the football club with knowing how to play football?

Norio: I don't know, maybe I just did, maybe j just didn't.

Norio walks away from the principal with his back before turning around. Suddenly he's faced with members of the football team.

Player Paul: oh, you should join our club and start playing, you said you just did, right? You have the build an the look. You will fit as a steady defender.

Norio: shocked. No, no no....

Joe: you used them us as a cover, you should pay back by playing for us.

Norio: you are getting it wrong, I've never even played football.

The football club members were about to give up, when...

Trent: then you are going to learn it. I've been watching you for a long time, you come to our club to stay and watch. Your stunt, kicking the can away at the opposite direction to cause a noise so the principal would follow it, leaving you alone that day did not go unnoticed. I was wondering when you were going to join. You were trying to avoid the principal, right? Well, you can avoid him entirely now. You have the physique he is not lying (pointing at Paul). You also have the potential, you just need to train, that's all.

Paul: yes, I think so.

Norio: well, I hate training.

Trent: yes, but you will learn to like it.

The football club members carry Norio with them as they leave the field for the day.

Norio: no way, leave me alone, let me go.....

Trent: stay still so you won't fall.

Norio: no way! Mane help!

Mane: chuckles. Go on norio, am cheering for you.

Norio: that's not a very friendly reply.

Mane: laughs out gently.

"Norio is forced to join the football club".
