#5 of The Gryphon's Goal

Here's part 1 of Chapter 2!


"Congrats on the win Saturday, Larry," Osaze said as the gryphon approached the lockers.

"Thanks! Were you there?"

Osaze smiled down at Larry, which was easy for him to do since he was close to seven feet tall. "Yup. I saw you block that goal like a pro." The smile then changed into a teasing smirk. "But you should really keep your eyes open when you're trying to catch the ball."

Larry gaped in surprise at Osaze. "How did you know?"

"It was a lucky guess. I always suspected one of my ancestors was a god of luck."

"Isn't it enough you already have a deity as your grandfather?" Larry asked as the tall jackal took a body wipe from his locker and started to remove the golden paint that decorated his right eye in the style of the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt.

"It is, but maybe it would help my jump shot if I had some more luck."

Osaze was on the basketball team, and Larry wasn't sure what the jackal was talking about. "Your jump shot is fine, isn't it?"

"Yeah, but only because I'm six-nine. Anyone my height would have an okay jump shot.," Osaze said, his grin revealing his sharp, canine teeth, bright white against his black fur. "I want to have a legendary jump shot."

Larry rolled his eyes. "You're addicted to basketball. Did anyone ever tell you that?"

Now that Osaze had removed the gold paint from around his eye, he proceeded to pull an English textbook and stuff it into a blue backpack. "You'd be the first to tell me that I have an addiction. So nice you care about me," he replied as he closed the locker door quietly. "You ready for our English test?"
