"Stephen Adams, you've been award a full ride scholarship."
Steve's eyes widened in shock after hearing the news, looking left and right as if the coach was speaking about someone else. He didn't have long to think as the entire team broke out into cheers.
They piled onto him, showering him with congratulations.
Ken smile genuinely, watching his friend's reaction. He had been working hard this whole time, and no one deserved it more than Steve.
While his family had come into some money thanks to their inheritance, the money would have only lasted another semester before Steve would have needed to find other arrangements.
With this, he wouldn't have to stress about finding work or going into tremendous debt in order to pay off his tuition fees.
When things had finally settled down, the two friend's locked eyes. Steve could tell that Ken had a hand in this, though he had no evidence to back up these claims.
"Thanks man."
