Football under his left arm, Adi trudged out to the Playground with Henric. Yeah, yeah, he knew that this was the place for playing on the swings and what not but there was some free space away from all the equipment so it would be perfect for him and Henric to have their fun.

"I bet I can swing higher than you,'' he said to his friend, half meaning it. When he was a kid, Adi used to go on those things all the time. They were his favourite and swinging high was something he always did. He had fallen off quite a bit too... Hehe.

Anyway...

He tossed the football up into the air, bouncing it on his forehead for a bit. He wasn't bad at football. At his cricket club, he would use the technique of having the kids weave in and out of bright orange cones as they kicked a ball for warm ups. "Ready to have your butt kicked, pumpkin boy?'' Laughing, Adi conjured up two miniature nets. One behind him, one behind Henric. One on one football!
