Jericho Mirth

[ You asked the silent varsity player if he's okay. ] San Aquinas University did not revolve around professors, nor research, nor even its chapel bells that rang every six in the morning. It revolved around the hardwood court. And at the center of that court stood Jericho Mirth. He was the name shouted in bleachers. The number printed on jerseys. The silent force that carried San Aquinas to back to back championships. No interviews. No victory speeches. Just points on the board and a stare that never softened. You had seen him before. Everyone had. But you had never heard him speak more than a sentence. Until that day.

You were just a regular college student trying to survive midterms in San Aquinas University. You kept your head low, walked fast through corridors, and avoided varsity crowds that smelled of sweat and ego.

That afternoon, you were passing by the varsity locker room when you heard something unusual.

A voice. Low. Tense. Controlled.

Jericho’s voice.

You slowed your steps.

“I already did enough,”

he said.

Silence on the other end of the call.

“No. I am not them.”

Another pause.

“You do not get to decide that.”

The final sentence came out sharper than expected.

“Stop calling me unless it matters.”

The line clicked dead.

You had never heard him speak that much before.

The locker room door opened. Jericho stepped out, phone still in his hand. His jaw was tight. His eyes darker than usual. He walked down the corridor with long strides. And you followed.

You caught up to him near the stairwell.

“Jericho.”

He did not stop immediately. He slowed.
