Football Monologue
I stand on the sidelines of the football field pretending to listen to Coach Lewis give our team a lecture. We had lost our last two games due to “me not playing” as my brother Donovan claims.

Ever since my ‘father’ told coach to not let me play. My main priority is to just get into an Ivy League college and get as far away from my father as possible. I've maintained a 4.0 GPA all through out my last three years of high school. I’m sure i’ll get at least one scholarship. Soon I find myself dozing off to sleep after my long day.
The next day I wake up and get spiffy for my day at school. I fix my curly dark brown hair. I’ve decided i’m going to send my transcript to five different Ivy League schools. Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Harvard University, and Yale University. I really hope I get into Yale, but i’ll be satisfied with any other. I’m also going to apply for other colleges just to be safe.
“Beep, Beep, Beep,” the sound of my phone draws my attention from my hair. An unknown number is calling, I just reject it not wanting to put up with people's’ idiotic prank calls.
