As Josh and his football coach talked about the future of Josh with his team he began to bite his nails in anxiety. As the conversation wore on Josh began looking at the clock that back into the eyes of his coach then back at the clock again. Noticing the changing demeanor of Josh the coach grew increasingly angry and agitated.
“Josh you really put me in a difficult situation here.” The coach said.
“I apologize for the inconvenience but I assure you this is not my fault.” Responded Josh.
“This is more than just an inconvenience. This is putting our entire season in jeopardy not to mention you future playing football. “
“I did not vandalize that car. In fact the only reason I did not say anything earlier is because I did not want to create a problem with the other players.”
“Well now everyone is pointing the blame at you and no one believes you. You can’t blame them though, especially considering what happened last summer with the drugs.”
“Now you leave that out of it. This is ridiculous not only was that a onetime thing but the two have nothing to do with each other.”

“Hello.” Said the coach.
“Hello coach I’m calling in regard of the situation with Josh”. Said the man on the phone is a deep voice.
“O yes I was expecting a call. One moment please.
The coach left the room leaving Josh alone to ponder what the two men could be saying. The clock in the room struck each second with a crisp click. Almost loud enough to make one cringe at the beat of the old metal clock. After a short while the coach came out of the room and sat down next to Josh once again. Looking him in the eye he cleared his throat and began to speak.
“Ok, we have decided to let you play the home coming game.” Said the coach.
“Good because you now
