Ernie swallowed hard and felt his throat with his
left hand.
Sal glanced over at Mitch. “Who the fuck are
you?”
“Mitch Bowman meet Sal Bonaducie,” Ernie
said.
Mitch extended out his hand to Sal.
“Up yours dork!” Sal barked out at Mitch.
Mitch slowly pulled his hand and was intimidated
by Sal.
“You have one more week, Ernie. One more
week,” Sal said with a dead serious tone. He glared
at Ernie then he walked away. He turned around
and held up seven fingers at Ernie. “Since you're in
college, that equals seven days,” Sal added then
walked away.
“What the hell was that about?” Mitch asked
curiously while they walked away.
“I owe the bastard $2,000,” Ernie replied a little
scared.
“For what? Gambling?” Mitch asked.
“I needed a loan for school. I spent all the
money my father left for me on partying and couldn‟t
get a financial loan. My Uncle is also broke and I
don‟t want to leave college and get a stinking job,”
Ernie told him while they walked toward the dorm
rooms.
In the locker room the Panther football team
were in high spirits after their win.
Rocky, Jake and Red dressed in front of their
lockers, as they just returned from the showers.
“Why did you knock Stefon Jackson down?”
Jake asked while he slipped on his pants.

“I can't stand homo's. They give me the creeps!”
Rocky replied while he intentionally shivered his
body.
Jake just shook his head, and he doesn't agree
with Rocky‟s outlook on gays.
“A little homophobic aren't we?” Red chimed as
he heard the entire conservation. “I heard that he
was a pretty good player at his high school. So,
Rocky, you're the team captain, why don't you let him
play?” Red added while he zipped up his pants and
reached in his locker and grabbed his shirt.
Rocky leaned over, and got in Red‟s face.
“There's no way I'm going to let a queer play on my
team. I hate the bastards,” Rocky said with a
threatening tone then backed away.
Both Jake and Red shrugged it off as Rocky was
being Rocky and they accepted it since he was the
star of the team and they were headed to the State
Championship game.
“Let‟s change the subject. Rocky, after we win
the State Championship game next week. I guess
you'll have NFL scouts crawling all over you,” Jake
said while he put on his sneakers.
Rocky stood up and flexed his muscles. “Yeah!
I‟m going to be a super star!” Rocky said loud and
proud.
The whole team cheered while Rocky sat back
down.
“You'll have all kinds of women crawling all over
you,” Red said while he put on his sneakers.
Another Panther player across the room joined
in on the conservation. “What about your girlfriend
Mindy Stanford?”
“Oh her,” Rocky replied and thought for a few
seconds. “Ah. You can have my leftovers,” he
replied with a smirk.
