the dean and bombay gave a speech about our scholarships, it was actually quite long, i wasn't paying too close of attention though- but they were practically praising us. we all had our jerseys on and had our heads up high and stayed proud due to our scholarships to the prep school.

we exchanged close glances around and at eachother, but i couldn't pay a lot of my attention to the dean. claps began after the dean finally finished his speech, and charlie had a massive smile on our face. i couldn't help but notice how proud bombay looked at us, he basically created us, we wouldn't be here without him.

...

" im not gonna be your coach this year guys" our former coach said with a blank face.

" yeah real funny." charlie said in a reply with a small chuckle. i knew coach wouldn't lie about that, so i just stood there awkwardly and tried not to say something bad.

" i just got the official word." was all bombay said in reply to charlie. he started rambling on but i couldn't focus.. he took us in and ditched us.

" surely you can stay, i mean if they want you now they'll want you later." was all i could say as the only emotion i felt was disappointment. " yeah just don't go." charlie said as if it was the easiest thing ever." that's not how everything works lily and charlie i wont want to pass up this opportunity."

" but you can't pass us up, right?" i didn't want to agree with charlie because i know that if i was in gordons position, we all know i would do the same- but i am still, of course, mad.

they started arguing but i already got the point, there's gonna be a new coach at this prep school who isn't gonna be bombay. this new coach wont even be close to as good as bombay. i just stared down and let them figure things out but a few seconds later conway just walked away.

" bombay, i'm very happy for you and i'm sorry he's reacting that way. i just dont understand why the team gets this amazing opportunity and you ditch. you're apart of the team too you know." i said before i ran up to check on my teammate and coach just stood there.

" i wonder what coach orion is like?" julie said as we were outside. " i mean probably pretty rough, this is high school after all" i replied.
" my dad said if i don't like him i can go home." she said proudly." thats nice, my dad said i better stay or he'll whip my butt." russ said and i couldn't help but laugh.

luis already had some drama. " y'know i heard in my dorm, that the guy who played for the minnesota north stars got suspended for punching out his OWN COACH."

" you mean the dallas stars!" dwyane and i said in illusion.

" i heard he punched out a fan"

" i heard he was a buddhist, y'know like kung fu or richard gere."

"seems like you guys have been listening a lott!" i stated but i quickly got cut off by ken. " kung fu wasn't a buddhist he was a trappist monk."

" are you talking about the old kung fu or the further adventures of the new kung fu?"

" y'all watch too much tv."

"clearly, i don't even understand how the topic got to this, i say it's too much talking.." i rolled my eyes.

"its the safest things to do in my hood!"

" i'll be back, i need to find ives." i ran away before they could reply.
