Tyler spent a huge amount of money to treat Sonia and Zane to dinner, and he was evidently quite proud of himself as he swaggered into the house.

He had already signed the contract for tryouts. Meanwhile, both Zane and Sonia had promised to keep this a secret for the time being. By the time he passed tryouts and officially joined the national basketball team, Tyler would no longer be fearful of Toby’s wrath because it would be insignificant. And so, Tyler hummed a tune as he walked into the foyer to change into his bedroom slippers. However, he entered the living room and was caught by surprise upon seeing Toby sitting on the couch. The latter was dressed in loungewear and was currently smoking a cigarette quite relaxedly.

“T-Toby!” Tyler jumped up in fright and stammered slightly, “W-Why are you back so early? I thought Tina’s still in the hospital. Why aren’t you there to see her?”

Toby glanced at him. “Have you had your dinner?”

 

“Yes, I have.”

“Come over here.”  Toby flicked the ash off his cigarette by the side of the ashtray using his index finger. “Let’s chat.”

Just then, Tyler could feel a cold sensation run down his spine. D*mn! Did Tina tell him that I’m going to join the tryouts? Tyler clutched his backpack and walked forward with trepidation. Then, he took a seat on the couch next to Toby, but his whole body remained quite tense. “Toby, it’s all my fault—” he started.

Tyler had planned to admit his mistake and take full responsibility for everything. The worst punishment he can inflict on me is to make me face the wall, so that’s not a big deal. Tyler wanted to prevent Toby from investigating this any further, lest the latter confronted Sonia about it.

“Go ahead and play basketball if that’s what you’re really keen to do.” Tyler had barely said anything but was interrupted by Toby before he even finished his sentence.
