Its game night and Im inside the bus arriving at the arena for the Finals. The bus stops and before we leave the coach has some words.
Coach: The moment you leave this bus you are on a work trip. Now let's go out there and get this championship.
The whole team yelled and we started to get out. I got out with my beats on my head and my bag on my shoulder. Cameras started to follow me on my way to the locker room. I get inside and I got some teammates already getting ready and others stressing out. I decided to do my job as the captain.
Lucas: AY let me yall have your attention fellas.
Everyone looked at me and the others with headphones they took it off so they could hear me. We got into a little circle.
Lucas: Yall know how much this school have been waiting for this man. Now this is IT. Its our time, forget about your problems and everything that is trying to tell you that its impossible to walk out of there as a WINNER. Lets go out there and give this people a show and make our school, our state, all of our family's proud. After tonight its the end of the trail for me as an high school basketball player. And I want to walk out as a Winner.
Everyone listens really closely and nodding their heads time to time agreeing with every word im saying.
Lucas: LETS WIN THIS THING AND BECOME THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD TODAY!!
Eveyone yelled and put our hands together in the middle of the circle and we throw them in the air saying "WE ARE WINNERS"
20 minutes later
I was just sitting waiting for coach to call us and I heard my phone. I saw a message and smiled. Lexi sended me a photo of her with my parents and her parents on the bleachers routing for me. My father is wearing the team jersey with his number and the name of "THE MVP's DAD". My mom is just wearing a normal outfit but has a hat with the team logo. Bob is wearing my jersey with sun glasses. Angela is wearing something casual like my mom but has a team jersey under her jacket and Lexi...

(Imagine this with the team's jersey)
I see the coach come in through the door and he tells me to take the team out.
Lucas: Alright Fellas!! LETS DO THIS!!
I started running towards the court and the team runned behind me. We had a few minutes to take some shots up and warming up before we heard the buzzer meaning the game is going to start. I gave a little wink to Lexi while doing my handshake with my teammate. People have been seeing us together a lot more now that I am 18 and she is going to WWE so nothing is wrong anymore about showing it to public. I get in my position and just wait for my big man to win the tip off. He doesnt win it but its not a big deal we just have to play good defense.
Skip first quarter
Its 23-30, we are winning by 7 but its still a long game. Coach just tell us to keep doing the good work and it will pay off in the end.
