As time passes away,
“Tomorrow marks the start of preliminaries for the interschool basketball competition. Teams are separated into brackets. There are 14 schools participating in our bracket, all of them wanted to become the best.” Clave said “Only two out of this 14 school will participate in the Interschool championship rounds. We placed second last year in overall but now we won’t be aiming for it instead we’ll aim to be the champion!” Clave looked at everyone in the court “Let’s do this!!!”
“YEEEEEAAAHHHHHHHH” Everyone shouted
“I’ll be calling the starting five” coach Vincent said “Clave and Enson will be joining. The other three are, Zanji, Albert and Glenn”
“What about Aldrin coach?” Clave asked
“He’s our secret weapon” Coach Vincent explained “We can make it to the preliminaries even if he doesn’t play. I’m saving the best for last.” Coach Vincent looked at Andrein “You’re the person I needed for the championship” Coach looked at everyone. “Get back to practice”
“Hey, you look sad” Clave whispers to her
“I want to be in the starting position and I want to play”
“Coach Vincent has a point you know… just like what he said, He’s saving the best for the last and it’s a relief for me. I don’t have to worry for you”
She sighs “Let’s practice”
As the practice ended,
“Looks like your girlfriend’s already here” Clave said
“I should be going then” Andrein said as she run towards Trisha
“Are they together?” Enson asked
“Yes” Clave answered
“Hmm… Good for Trisha. She looks happier now”
“Tomorrows your first game” Trisha said as they’re walking home
“Yeah”
“You sound sad”
“I’m not playing until the championship.”
“You should not be sad for that. I know there’s a reason”
“There’s always a reason for everything”
“I’ll be cheering for you”
“Why would you cheer if I’m not playing?”
“Don’t be sulky.” Trisha said and kissed her
“Trisha?”
“That’s to cheer you up”
Andrein smiled “Thank you.”
“I love you”
“I love you too”
As the preliminaries started,
“Your girlfriends watching” Clave said as he found Trisha
“Yeah, even though I’m not playing”
“Is that’s the reason you wanted to be in the starting five”
“Yeah”
Clave smiled “I’m sorry about that”
“It’s fine.” Andrein looked at Trisha and smiled
