A few minutes later, Tyler found himself standing in front of a fairly popular amusement park in the area. As he entered, he could hear the sounds of screams coming from teenagers his age or older going on rides. There was also another section filled with carnival type games, that were on the mild side.

He went with Jasmine to the ticket booth where they purchased two tickets and were led into the amusement park where Tyler could finally see it in it's glory.

As he entered, he couldn't really see much at all, or more to the point, he didn't really notice anything. That was because he was staring at the huge rollercoaster at the epicenter of it all.

After staring at it for a few seconds, he turned to Jasmine and said. "I am not going to ride that thing".

"Yes you are". Jasmine said as she held his hand and dragged him towards the queue for the ride.

"No, I'm not". Tyler wrenched his hand free from her grasp and was walking away.

"If we don't get on this ride, I'm not speaking to you again". Jasmine crossed her hands in front of her chest.

Tyler chuckled and looked back. "This is one of those your money or your life questions. I choose my life please".

Jasmine laughed when she heard Tyler's response and sprinted to meet up with him. "Fine we'll go on whatever lame ride you want to go on, but we're riding that rollercoaster by the end of the evening, mark my words Wilson".

"If you say so". Tyler smirked.

As the night passed, the two of them went on multiple rides and played a couple of games, albeit unsuccessfully, and they were on their way out of the amusement park when all of a sudden Jasmine started walking towards the rollercoaster again.

"This again? I already said that I'm not going on that thing". Tyler said.

Jasmine said nothing at first. She just smiled and then she whispered something into Tyler's ears.

As soon as she finished whispering, Tyler stared at the rollercoaster again, then at his hands, then he turned back to the rollercoaster.

"Fuck it man, it's just a rollercoaster". He muttered.

Ten minutes later, Tyler and Jasmine exited the rollercoaster. The former looked like he had seen a ghost while the latter couldn't stop laughing.

"Seriously, you sounded like a girl". Jasmine said in between laughs, referring to the sound of Tyler's screaming. "Why were you so scared? It wasn't even going that fast".

Tyler shrugged. It took him a few seconds but he got himself. "I don't know. It's supposed to be safe but a lot of things could go wrong".

"Trust issues much?" Jasmine rolled her eyes as they walked towards the exit.

"You just never know". Tyler said as they walked outside of the amusement park and started walking towards Jasmine's house.

A few minutes later, the wound up in front of Jasmine's house. Jasmine had a reluctant look on her face as she stared at Tyler who was standing a small distance behind her.

"Here we are again". Tyler said. He also didn't want to leave her but it had gotten quite late. Even if he didn't have a parent here to scold him for returning to the apartment late, he was quite sure that Jasmine had a curfew or something that she had to abide by.

"Here we are again". Jasmine echoed his words. She looked down for a couple of seconds before raising her eyes to look at Tyler. "I had a lot of f-"

Jasmine didn't get to finish her sentence. With a sudden burst of confidence, Tyler held her cheek in his hand and pressed his lips against hers.

It was quite sudden, but after the initial shock, Jasmine grew into the kiss and even wrapped her arms around his neck as Tyler slid his free hand to her waist and pulled her closer to him. A few seconds later, the pair pulled away, a little breathless.

"I've wanted to do that for a long time". Tyler muttered, making Jasmine smile a little.

"I know". She said. "Me too".

The pair continued staring at themselves for quite a bit of time, before Jasmine remembered herself and pulled away from Tyler completely. She walked towards her house and as she opened the door, she turned around and faced Tyler.

"If you do play tomorrow, score a goal for me". Jasmine said.

"I will". Tyler said with a smile as he watched her completely disappear into her house and stared at the long road in front of him.

When he got to the apartment, he was in an oddly good mood. His roommates noticed it almost immediately and started questioning him just a few minutes later.

"What happened. Why are you so giddy?" Enzo asked as the three of them sat in the living room, watching the early Premier League matchup. It wasn't a match between two big teams but the boys were bored to Brentford vs Southampton would have to do.

"Yeah, you've been smiling ever since you got back". Tony squinted his eyes as he stared at Tyler.

"I got into the matchday squad". Tyler said. It wasn't complete lie as it was the reason for some of his happiness.

Tyler didn't mind telling them what happened with Jasmine this evening, it really wasn't a big deal. They were already up to date on the other matters involving the two of them. What he didn't want was the teasing that came with it. He didn't think he was in the best condition to deal with that.

"Nahh, that's not it". Enzo turned his head as he stared at Tyler. "You kissed a girl this evening".

"Lies". Tyler muttered.

Tony burst into laughter as he also stared at Tyler. "Brother, you've been caught red handed... or should I say red lipped?"

"Red lipped?" Tyler's face was the epitome of question marks. He used his hands to feel his lips and after a second his face fell. "Fuck".

Jasmine's lipstick had gotten on his lips. Tyler continued feeling his lips, before using his shirt to rub his lips, hoping to rub whatever was left there away.

Enzo leaned forward, his face showing just how much he was trying not to burst into laughter. "You really thought that you could take that one past us lil bro?"

Tony laughed. "Do we look like we're children? We've been doing this stuff since before they gave birth to you".

"Shut up". Tyler muttered. He tried to stand up, but Tony pushed him back onto the seat and laughed again.

"You really think you can escape this?" Enzo asked before throwing a pillow on the floor, just in front of where Tyler was seating, then jumping on it. He then looked at Tyler like a child would look at his grandma telling a story. "So how did it happen, tell me everything".

Tyler recounted the story, explaining what happened, about how he asked her to come watch him, them going to the amusement park, her forcing him to go on the rollercoaster and then him kissing her when he dropped her off.

"Respect man". Tony said as he took Tyler's hand and shook it. "Respect. You were a bit of a pussy with the roller coaster thing but you got a W tonight so we'll let it slide".

Enzo's reaction was the opposite of Tony's. "So you could've made your debut tomorrow and you didn't even get us a ticket to come see you". He had a mock hurt expression on his face. "Know who your homies are for real".

Tyler laughed at his antic. "If you want to come watch me, you can come. If I say you're with me then you'll be allowed in. I just got a ticket for my grandma because I wanted her to enjoy the matchday atmosphere instead of spending the entire match cooped up in the VIP section cooped up with some boring old men from the board or something". Tyler replied.

"Thanks man". Enzo said. "I swear I love you more than some of my cousins". Enzo's last sentence made Tyler and Tony burst into laughter.

Tyler stayed with Enzo and Tony in the living room, talking and laughing before retreating into his room.

As he laid on his bed, preparing to fall asleep, he kept thinking about how his life would've been really different if he hadn't gotten the system. He remembered how defeated he was and how he had almost given up on football completely.

Football had him beat and broken down, and yet it's the same sport that has him happy beyond measure.

Life was so unpredictable and funny. And amidst that sea of unpredictability, Tyler was glad to be in the good side of it. Things could've ended up much worse for him. Much, much worse.
