“You ended that man’s career! How on Earth do you do that every week?” Jackson asked retorically.
“You’re saying I ended their career? What about you, 2 interceptions and 5 tackles in one game! I can see why you committed years ago,” I said. Jackson was my best friend, and more importantly, was the best football player our school had ever seen, followed shortly by me of course.
“Its easy to dominate when the other team plays a freshman at quarterback. I guarantee that I would not have done as well had there been a more experienced qb out there.”
“How are you so humble. You are the best player in the state. You committed in your freshman year for crying out loud!”
“What can I say, lots of guys commit early, I just got lucky. Speaking of committing, have you decided where you are going?” He asked me. I honestly hadn’t, it hadn’t even crossed my mind.
“Not really. I’m thinking about going to LSU, but I’m not sure. Any advice?”
“Well, go somewhere that offers a good education, and make sure that the team gives off a good vibe. Thats why I picked Georgia.”
“I might actually want to go to Georgia. Seems like a good team, and we can continue to dominate together.”
“Thats an idea,” he said, “but make sure thats not the only reason that you go there. Go somewhere you want to, because I’m sure you are going to dominate wherever you go.”
“So, we playing Halo tonight?”
“Of course, its Friday night after all.”
Great to see a Halo reference. This is very good dialogue work. There are a few minor punctuation errors. For example, the sentence below should be punctuated like this:
“What can I say? Lots of guys commit early; I just got lucky. Speaking of committing, have you decided where you are going?” he asked me. I honestly hadn’t. It hadn’t even crossed my mind.
Check carefully – I made about five changes.
