[ double-checks that everything in the house is straightened and in its proper place, despite having cleaned everything earlier that morning. a few peeks up the stairs towards her brother's room is the only other movement she makes besides nudging things here and there, taking a seat on the edge of a chair when she realizes that it probably won't be very long now. is quite aware (was made aware) that her brother had tricked anthony into thinking they were going to meet at twelve instead of twelve-thirty, but still can't help but glance outside the front window every few minutes to make sure that she would be there when he arrived. ]

[ well. it's not his favourite topic, but it's a topic. ]

Same kind of load. A couple of bad ones and a few bird courses.

[ nods, as if interested. ]

What are your plans for the future?

Get my degree. Try not to sell my kidneys for money. Live happily ever after.

My question was meant for after you graduate. Are you going to pursue a higher degree? Seek employment?

Oh. [ pause. ] Work sounds good. More school doesn't.

And why is that?

You'd pick more school?

Of course. Learning is one of the main foundations of life.

Masters? Ph.D.? [ another pause. ] Law school, medical school, pharmacy, rocket science. . .

I am staying for my masters, at the very least. If it were not for my passion of the human body, I would have pursued law school.

[ considers this for a moment. ]

You could be a sports therapist. Put two of your passions together.

[ nods, clearly very satisfied with his answer. ]

That is my goal.

[ also nods, pleased with himself. ]

Does it take long?

Not as long as it would if my goal was to enter into law school. But I would enjoy staying in school as long as I am able.

Terrorizing the soccer team.

I am merely encouraging my team to use their skills to the fullest.

We are not machines, robo-captain.

You can still enhance your abilities. I understand that you believe the world revolves around you, but most of your teammates wish to be professionals. I am training them with that in mind.

[ considers this. ]

You get more excited than they do.

I am excited because they show passion despite the rigorous training. Their excitement may come later when they are accepted into a professional team of their choice.

[ sips at the lemonade thoughtfully. ]

Is there anyone that wants to make it professional that want to be a goalie?

There very well may have been.

I could. . . [ vague hand gestures. ]

[ looks down at the table in thought. ]

It would not be necessary. Did I not tell you before? The others did not try as hard as you did. The ones that did had a deplorable attitude, as if they were entitled to the position before they had even started. People like that are unsuited for professional soccer, let alone college-level. I would have rather put a rock there than have them on my team.

[ blinks. blinks again. stares. blinks yet again. stares down at his lemonade. ]

Oh. Uh. Okay.
