"Russell?" "Russell!" Screamed coach Drew as he was explaining something. "Yeah coach?" I responded back still looking at the cheerleading squad practice in the faculty right next to us.
"Gimme ten laps"
"But coa-" I was cutoff before I could even say anything.
"You heard me get your ass on the line!"
I silently cussed as I ran over to the line where we ran suicides.
"Tweet!" Went coaches whistle violently ten more times.
"Now you better pay attention or you'll be running double!" Screamed Coach Drew. We sat there in the gym listening to the echoes of Coach Drew's scream. "Now if you want to be a cheerleader you can go over there and Cheer with squad". The whole team laughed.
"I'm sorry Coach".
"You better be".
"Alright everyone I want you all to be in bed by 10:00 tonight we have a big game tomorrow night against Grand Rapids Catholic Eagles, I'm especially talking to you AJ, No more sneaking out going to the streets to smoke crack. Your Grades are already failing."
"Ok Coach I can't make any promises" said AJ.
"Then I can't make any Promises you'll play tomorrow". The whole oohed.
"I'm already half asleep" said AJ as he faked a yawn.
"Alright let's end with prayer" said coach Drew. "Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee, blessed are thow among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus, Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now at the hour of our death. Amen. Mary Queen of Victory!"
"Pray for us!" The whole team shouted.
"Alright now get home yall" said coach Drew.
