             Charles was all state quarterback for the Division One School Stoney Creek. All the guys wanted to be him and all the girls wanted to date him. He was on the top of the world, or was he? Not everything was great. His mother left when he was young and his father was a drunk, who wanted Charles to win at all costs. This affected Charles by turning his heart to stone. He disrespected teachers and was cruel to students, and cared for no one but himself. .

But Charles just ignores the coach and starts running towards the end zone. It seemed that Charles was about to be stopped as two huge defenders came charging towards him. Charles quickly threw an undersize wide receiver towards there feet tripping up the defenders while get trampled in the process. The Cougars won!.
             As the team starts heading towards the locker room you could hear the crowd cheering, "Samson, Samson, Samson." .
             The coach yelled from the sideline, "I told you to pass the ball, listen!".
             As Charles went into the locker room he noticed a man standing there staring at him with a weird look on his face as if he was looking for Charles. Charles turns to the man and yells, "What are you looking at?" The man just smiles and walks away.
             The following Monday at school, as Charles walks into his first hour class he notices the man from the football game sitting in the teacher's seat. .
             As Charles walked by he could hear the sub whisper in a low voice so only he could hear, "Fame isn't everything.".
             Charles causing a seen, yells back, "Shut up you"re just jealous that you were never as good as me in High School, you were probably a loser then and a loser now, I"m the one who deserves all the glory and fame, not you!" The sub just looked at Charles, smiled, and shook his head.
