trendsetting-ness-Ones
“I am so damn serious…”
That is what he used to say to us before he would go on to carefully explain to us how things keep changing and if you do not watch out, you could get left behind..
He was always the one who would turn up with new slang whenever we would come back for the school term… he would also tell us the latest movies to watch and which tracks were hot at the time…
He was always the one who would be quiet at the times of heated debates, and was truly an excellent listener…. he was also always the one who would calmly say the final words of the discussion that would no doubt put an end to so many heated debates espeshlee with those that concerned sports, music and film.
As we moved higher academically, so did he…
He was very good at always referring to what the teacher said word for word and some times, we would wonder if he had a tape-recorder like them chaps in the American Universities…
He was always so good at “conversing” movies and turning up with a new trend every so often…
When he would walk this way, like Aerosmith, he was always followed and looking back in retrospect, he sorta didn’t know the amount of influence he held…
Till he became the Head Prefect of our school…
I was in his class, and as such, it seems he wanted to prove a few things… He always seemed to be stepping to me like I was trying to steal his space… what’s worse was that I made sure I never ever got in his way. You see dude had a big bro in A’ Level who was pretty rowdy so I just let things be..
Till he started playing rugby….
You see, for the un-initated, Rugby is true gentleman’s sport….
Many a time the viewers and those watching mis-contrue the game to be a milder form of boxing and wrestling all mixed up in one… as the injuries have proven, many a time it can a little bit true… but hey, just a little bit…
As the centre on the pitch, I had the nasty role to play-make and direct the flow of the game especially when we were attacking.. Many peeps mis-took this and in turn were pretty sloppy when it came to being defensive…
When dude started playing rouge, oh my good did he enjoi himself, peeps were treating him like a softy and then some… so when I disrespected his pretty boy self and tackled him to the ground, it was game on!
We settled whatever drama we had on the pitch and it got so intense sometimes that peeps would have to calm him down coz he was the one who had more influence.. if he fought, everyone else fought…
I was always in the back ground letting the skillz do the talking!
As time went on however, we let it be and realized that our beef drama (mainly from him though) was just a huge joke…
Till we went to Uni and fell for the same girl….
