"Dude, did you get that text from Bobby earlier?" Tyler asked as he reached in his pocket for his phone. Josh thought for a second as he realized he left his own phone back at the park, a mistake he made all too often when in a rush to leave work. Either way, Josh's head perked up at the name. Bobby was his roommate his final semester in college. He, Tyler, and Josh all became an unlikely trio of friends after the events of that semester. Josh thought back to the first time he met the young football star before looking back to Tyler to respond.

By now Josh figured, thanks to the new coaching staff at the school, Bobby must've finished school and gotten scouted for the NFL. Josh smiled to himself, hoping it was something positive like that, that caused a sudden lull in communication between the three of them.
A little time passed, Josh and Tyler looked up as they heard a car pull in front of the house. Josh looked off into the distance, seemingly hundreds of miles away, as Tyler opened the door and saw Bobby getting out of a...
