Football Lord - Chapter 2

“Ding Ding!!!” ‘What f**king sound is disturbing my sleep’ Tony wakes up to find himself in an unfamiliar yet familiar room. Oh heavens save me, who kidnapped me. He jumps up and attempts to account for what he did last night remembering that he could remember having a date with a lovely lady he had failed to hit it off with. But after finding her a taxi he couldn’t remember anything else until the alarm clock woke him up.

“Tony, better come down stairs, your breakfast is getting cold” ‘The voice was definitely his mother, but he knew his mother couldn’t shout at him as loud as that any more because he was no longer a teenager… wait a minute’ he looks round the room again and see’s a picture on the drawer of his parents and his younger brother with a much younger version of himself.

Oh Lord, no wonder the room looks a little bit familiar. It was his room from when he was younger. He looked at his hands and legs and noticed that they were less hair on them, and the way he was moving his body he definitely felt a little lighter and his body was definitely more agile.

‘Could this be possible? could I have time Traveled or time warped or reincarnated like those foreign movies?’ right at that moment he heard his brothers voice George bringing him back to reality”Tony we are gonna be late for your trial”

‘Right at that moment he realized he was no longer 23yrs old or in the year 2020’ he immediately ran to the bathroom to look himself up in the mirror, and just like he guessed it was his younger face that was stirring at him right back. A stream of confusion hit him as he immediately got an headache. “What’s going on, someone help?”

Immediately he heard a ding, as if it was right beside his head as he immediately jumped up and looked around trying to locate the source of the sound. The next thing he heard was a stream of cheerful chuckles coming from very close to his head. “Who is there?” he immediately got a reply “There where?” Tony immediately ran to the wall trying to locate where the voice was coming from.

“Calm down, if you could only look at your scared performance” a soft and feminine voice said immediately followed up with a chuckle. Tony immediately believed he must have hit his head when he time jumped or whatever and he now had an alter ego following him to punish his unbalancing of time.

“First of all, I am not an alter ego and secondly you did not hit ur head, if not I would have felt that too” the voice replied again. Tony was now sure he was going crazy and was planning to run downstairs to his parents.

The voice immediately continued “There is no need for all the dramatics Tony, we are now one…” Immediately Tony heard they were now one he panicked and kicked into gear in an attempt to run to his parents again. “Wait, that came out wrong, please calm down and take deep breaths”.

After he had calmed down, she continued “I am what you will call an assistant or as most people like to call it a system, I don’t know the reason for our medging together, but from my functions and your memory, I would say I am here to assist you in achieving your dream of becoming a professional footballer”.

Upon hearing her explanation, Tony figured out she was right and that was why he magically, scientifically or spiritually appeared on a day he was to go for a football trial. She immediately continued “First thing first, I can assure you that this is not connected to anything spiritual, and secondly if you haven’t figured it out, our minds are connected. I can hear all your thoughts” she immediately clicked her tongue to feign annoyance and Tony immediately used both of his hands to hold his head first and then thought of where his mind could be then placed one of his hands on chest where is heart was supposed to be in confusion.

His stream of actions led to a prolonged mixture of laughter that could be said to be musical with occasional chuckles from the system or assistant. He was now definitely sure that her voice was coming from inside his head and not from his outer ear, which led him to think of signing himself up in a mental home.
