12: Ni-Bump-ght - Part Two (Caleb)

We don’t have enough players here to have a football team, lucky for me Salem Center had a youth football club not affiliated to a high school. So at least I get to train and play a little and I love that. This morning’s training session raised my spirits so much that when I got back to Xaviers I was buzzing. Yesterday had been a disaster, I looked like a total dick in English doing an oral presentation in English on Macbeth. The words would just not come out. So embarrassing.
I needed to get out and keep the spirits raised, there are one or two minds here that are quite intrusive, not deliberately as they are unaware of it. Normally I can block these out, but one of them… it’s too hard. So, get out and stay happy.
I called up the noticeboard and saw no one was going to town, terrific. So it was drive myself. As I collected my car keys from my room the noticeboard pinged with an update. I messaged back right away: RED VOLVO V40 FRONT STEPS TEN MINUTES.
There were a couple of young women standing there waiting when I pulled up.
I opened the door and stood to greet them. As I introduced myself I realised that what I had taken for something on the steps was actually a spear.
“Ah… there’s no way I can fit that spear thingy in a car this small.” Added to which the whole car had had it’s monthly detailing the day before and I had paid extra for leather seats, I did not want them skewered by a bad Game of Thrones prop.
