Shine Like a Star

Tryouts

I left for home to my grandma's house. It was really a tough day on my first. Meeting new friends and meeting this mean guy.

As I approached the doorstep, my grandmother Claire greeted me, asking how my first day was. I told her about this girl I met, Sam and she looked happy.

"Maybe you just found newfound love, Bruce.", she jokingly said.
"Nah." I replied. I may have lied to her a bit but I do have a crush on Sam. I made dinner and drifted to dreamland, thinking about the possibilities I can do on this new school.

"Beep, Beep, Beep." Was the annoying sound my alarm clock made as I woke up.
I got dressed for school and left with my bike and my grandmother kissed me goodbye.

I finnaly arrived, when a few students I met yesterday greeted me. I got into English class and sat next to Chuck and Tom, the "friendly guy". Chuck handed me a crumpled paper that looked like a leaflet.

I uncrumpled it and it said,
"Basketball tryouts later, Be there!"

Chuck showed me a thumbs up. Well, maybe I can try out, I thought to myself. I've haven't played BB for a while but i might as well try it. A bit later the bell rang and it was lunch time. I sat next to Sam, Tom, and friends. Apparently, the cheerleader's table ain't that far from the jocks'. Tom broke the silence and said

"Hey, this was meant to be a surprise but, for our one-month anniversary, I reserved us two seats in this fancy gelato shop, Nicole!"  I figured Tom was Nicole's boyfriend. "All for you, babe." Tom said with a smile.

We all shouted "wooohooo" while Nicole and Tom made out. The reservation time was 2:00 which was waaay before dismisal so they had to cut classes. Nicole was a bit worried that her dad might find out about them.

"I'm still having second thoughts since my father never actually approved of Tom but he's a really nice and funny guy once you actually get to know him. But he thinks he's just a bad example and he might find out about me cutting classes." All of us on the table convinced her. Tom said that if she gets caught, he will stand up for himself and take the blame. Nicole was finally convinced about it.

=============================================================================

I made it to history class but it was boooooring as hell, I sat next to Sam, though. She said that she was throwing a party since her parents are away for the week for a bussiness trip. It was her only opportunity to throw a party. I was also happy since this is my time to socialize around the students and meet more friends as they say: "The more, the merrier!"

Dissmissal finally came and I finally got out of this  boring, damned History class.

I put my books back to my locker and remembered about the tryouts so I proceeded to the court. This school may have a cheap tuition fee but it has many facilities! I thought to myself.

As I made it to the basketball court, on my way, I noticed that there were actually some students left after dismissal. Maybe they're here to practice what sport they are into or to just hang out in their clubs.

I saw Chuck, Eric and some other guys playing. They were actually pretty good since they beat the other team, first quarter scoring 34-26. I cheered as I sat on the bench. Then they came back, the other set played as the coach blew his whistle. Hey man, Eric said. Nice you made it, Chuck said.

Bruce chose Chuck and Eric's team for the third quarter. Bruce was the highest scorer, scoring 17 points for their team, making the score 58-46. 

"Whoah, Bruce you really done well this day, im pretty sure you will make it!", Eric complimented me. Chuck gave me a high five. The three of us actually made it to the team. The final score was 93-87 which was really close. The top scorers of both teams were chosen for Jefferson High's BB team, the Honey Badgers. But believe it or not, I was the 4th highest scorer out of the 32 who tried out. Chuck was initially great, who topped 2nd and Eric was the 5th, also not bad with Andrew, another jock who topped first.

We went to the parking area as we talked. I guessed Chuck was rich when I saw his car, A red van with pretty much had golden mugs with accesories all over.

"Dayuum, Chuck. That's one hell of an expensive van you have."

"It's actually my parents' car."

"Don't be modest Chuck. His parents actually gave it to him for his birthday." Eric chuckled.

"His parents are naturally rich." I laughed with Eric.
I noticed Chuck Blush. Pretty much for a muscular guy.
"So see you guys." I said as they waved me goodbye.

I made it to the team! Another good story to tell my grandma, I thought to myself as i reached our
street.
