Real Potential

Later that day, there’s a knock on my bedroom door. Ollie from football comes in. “Alright, mate,” he says. “Hope you don’t mind me coming over. Got your address from Liam.”

I scratch my neck, surprised to see him.

I wonder what kind of house Ollie lives in and feel myself go red with embarrassment.

“I didn’t know what Ryan was up to,” he says. “I only found out after. If I had known, I would have said something.”

“You?” I ask.

“Why?” I ask.

“Doesn’t matter,” he says. “But Ryan is OK. Once you get to know him. He would do anything for a team-mate.”

“Doesn’t seem all that OK to me,” I say.
