The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary

Chapter 119 Relationship Problems 2

He could accept being out for two years from the main team because he knew that many players would not normally play at that time, so he thought he was not losing so much, even if he went to another team if he could not win it would not be worth playing.

But Jake could not stand another year that would be lost, so he would wait to see if something changed until the middle of the year before the third year of high school began and if nothing changed he would not even begin the next year at this school.

Jake thought that now that his friend had a new girlfriend he would not be too lonely even if Jake had to go to another school.

Eva also knew what Jake had in mind, in fact, she had been surprised by the maturity of her son for having endured staying almost two years without playing for responsibilities, so whatever Jake did she would support.

So Jake and Eva ended the trip and returned home, Jake did not know now how he could convince his mother to make the trip next year Jake had already bought several books to be able to learn Japanese, but he was sure he would not learn in one year only.

In addition, at school, classes are getting harder and harder, and there were many things Jake did not know, so he did not have as much time to read his books in class.

Joseph had his grades down because of his girlfriend, but Jake had no excuse to let his grades drop, at most he would stop reading books from other subjects in class, but it was not necessary yet, perhaps because his intelligence was so high in statistics Jake can learn things more easily now.

And so the first days of school began after this vacation, Jake thought of his future as he walked the halls and did not even see his friend Joseph coming.

"So, Jake, what are you thinking you're so distracted about? If I had a holiday like yours I'd be happy."

"Do not tell lies, I talked to your father the other day and he said that he called you to travel several times and you who did not want it even more now I do not think you would agree to stay a few months out of the country and leave someone behind."

"I told my father to stop being such a gossip, he tells everything to you."

"You look pretty happy to anyone who has the grades dropping."

"I do not care about that much anymore, I do not need to have the best grades in the room so I can graduate from school and go to a university, have no reason to study so much."

"I'm happy because after so long my girlfriend finally admitted that I was wrong and that I should not say she does not like you, so she said if I wanted I could introduce her to you."

"Who would have thought you'd have the talent to control women, all right then, when are you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?"

"It's going to be this weekend, I'm going to take you and her to lunch at a restaurant."

"You're too exaggerated, you do not have to be so formal, introduce yourself to me at the end of class today."

"Not this time will be my way, you have nothing to do on the weekend, you could do this favor for your friend."

"So dramatic, all right then, I'll be there at this restaurant."

Jake saw that Joseph was quite happy and smiled too, now he was curious to know who this girlfriend was that was so mysterious for more than a year, Jake could say that Joseph really liked her very much and thought that perhaps in the future Joseph might end up marrying her.

And so the week went by quickly, Jake wore a social shirt that he had bought recently, she was quite wide now, Jake bought several clothes after returning on his trip from Germany, but he was not with Eva this time.

Eva was a bit sad about it but she accepted that her son was growing up, but that was not the reason Jake did not let Eva go with him.

Jake did not even care that he was going to buy clothes with his mother until he was 30 years old, the reason was that even if Jake had enough money he did not want to waste anything, so his old clothes did not suit him anymore.

On the other hand, Jake who had come from the future knew that he would have a big growth spurt in these next six months that would only stop after he turned 18, and with the system, he realized that he would be much higher than in his past life.

So this time since he was forced to buy new clothes to have something to wear he would have to buy clothes much wider than his current size, and in a few months, those clothes will fit.

Eva even fought him after he came back from shopping for not knowing how to shop, it was good that Jake did not have to care about the cost of the shoes because he earned from Clara's company.

When he arrived at the restaurant he saw Joseph sitting alone, it seems that his friend's girlfriend had not arrived yet when Joseph saw Jake he smiled but then looked oddly at his clothes.

"The clothes are beautiful, but was not your size right?"

"You'll see in a few months, I know what I do, besides, I did not plan on having to wear this anytime soon because of you, my sportswear is tailor-made."

"I get angry at athletes because of you, people usually get strange wearing sports clothes every day, but since you have muscles and you look like a model using them, I get angry."

"Thanks for the compliment I think, you also should already have how many models of different glasses, 20?"

"Very funny, my girlfriend said that as I have to use it any way I could do it in style, and I think she's right."

"Speaking of your girlfriend, do not say that you marked her late on purpose."

"I thought you were going to say she was late, but you're right, as she already knows you and you do not know her, I thought it would be nice if she came later."

So Jake had to wait a few more minutes to meet his friend's girlfriend.

After a while she arrived in an elegant dress, as everyone was 15 or 16 she already looked like a woman, Joseph hoped that Jake was surprised, but Jake seemed to know already who it was.

Jake was not stupid after his friend said he had some problems with his girlfriend, Jake already had a few candidates only, so he just had to confirm.

"Well it looks like you've been waiting, I'll introduce you anyway, this is my girlfriend Liza."

Yes, it was Liza the only woman who had a little more serious disagreement with him, actually Jake had thought it was her, but Liza would have to be too childish to dislike Jake even though he was the one who had been harmed by having to leave the team.

But it turned out that she was really childish and had been angry with him, Liza was proud and even though she had already realized that Jake was not wrong she did not want to admit it, but after a few years she realized that Jake was more mature than her, so she was embarrassed to do it and even bring trouble to her boyfriend.

Actually contrary to what she thought, Jake had even forgotten about Liza after that time the more she got mad at her, Jake simply did not care for Liza before, so Joseph could have settled for it.

"Jake, I wanted to apologize to you, I already apologized to Joseph too, I know that my behavior was childish all this time and at the time as well."

"I do not think you need to apologize to me, I never cared about that and even forgot you."

She was a little annoyed at him saying he did not even remember her, but it showed how angry she had been for nothing during those years.

"Well, if you're all right then I'm relieved, I did not want my girlfriend to be against my friend."

Jake just smiled that was never a problem for him, but maybe it was because he went through a lot in life and his mind was more stable if he was really young things could have been more problematic.

So the three of them talked quietly for lunch and after a while, Liza had some time in the bathroom to 'adjust her makeup' and Jake and Joseph were left alone again.

"So Jake, she's cool is not she."

"I knew your girlfriend should be cool since you liked her like I said she had to be cool just for you and not for everyone else, otherwise you could have a lot of rivals."

"Hahaha you're right about that, now I've settled down with things being sorted out."

"These things are normal when you and she grow up and mature fewer problems like that should happen."

"But changing the subject a little, when do you intend to introduce her to your father and grandfather? From what I noticed you seem to really like her, and she also seems to really like you, so before your relationship becomes more serious I think your parents should know just like her parents."

Jake did not want to be boring, but he knew that it was never a good idea to take too long to make things clear to the families, just so they would have a serious and serious relationship, Joseph had been dating for more than a year, it could not be too long more for parents to know.
