Gilliam was still getting used to the American way of speaking and the fact that football, err soccer wasn't the popular sport in America that it was back home. Still, his new mates were pretty dedicated and he liked the way they expected him to always have the answer about anything with the sport. His new friend Carson was a big beefy for a soccer player but seemed to do the jock at goalie. He was big enough to block the goal and fast enough not to be surprised. Gilliam thought that the two made a nice pair showing off the contrast between Gilliam'm lean muscle and Carson's bulk. He piled into Carson's Tahoe with Ronnie who Gilliam didn't know at all. He wasn't on the team but seemed to be some kind of assistant to the coach.
"Ronnie's my old friend from high school." Carson grabbed Gilliam's shoulder and pointed to the new guy. "He didn't make the team but he is helping the coach out."
"Glad to meet you." Gill said holding out his hand to Ronnie.
"Me too, man." Ronnie answered giving Gil a firm grip.
Ronnie was shorter than Carson and a bit pudgy.
"You guys hungry?" Carson called out as the car pulled out of the lot. "Rhetorical questions. I'm starved. We're going to Jack's before I pass out."
Carson pulled up to the order station/
"Give me three Jumbo Jacks with cheese, two curly fries and two chocolate shakes."
Turning to the guys he asked what they wanted.
"Two Jumbo Jacks, curly fries and a strawberry shake for me." Ronnie piped up.
"OK Gilliam. You want anything?"
Gill wasn't really hungry but he felt funny watching the others eat and he wanted to fit in with his new American mates so he decided to order
