On The Clock (Book 2)

Chapter 8: Trash

We were alone in the house, which was fine with me, if it was that I was not going to lie to my self either. I knew that it was that I had not being feeling all too great. And I had not been playing all too great as of lately, after what it was that Xavier had said to me in the car that night, at that.
As it kind of felt like as much as it was that he tried to say that he was trying to help me, at that. It felt like a lot of the times he seemed to make me feel down on my self. As I had gone to practice, and we had played 3 more games since then, and we had in fact got blown out in all 3 of them, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
That was just when I then did in fact seem to go right on ahead, and I had left practice early one day. I had asked my mom to take me home, and she had agreed to it. As we had not said a single thing to one another on the way home, even though we both knew as to just what it was about.
Our conference schedule was now coming as that was our next game... It was our next 15 games as a matter of fact, as our conference consisted of 12 teams... If we played good enough, than we could get in to the top 8, and we would be able to make it to the conference tournament...
If we won that, all at the exact same time too, than it meant that it was that we would in fact get a pass to the State tournament, and we would have a chance to win that. That was just a pipe dream if felt like how ever, as I knew that was not reality. At least not just yet, never the less, once again.
I knew that it was that we could make it if we had a good record, all at the exact same time too. Though I doubt that it was in fact going to be the case, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I knew that it was that it meant that we would practically have to win nearly all of our games from here on out, all at the exact same time too.
As we had already started the year off bad, at that, as we were 1-4... And if it was that we did in fact get in to the conference tournament, all at the exact same time too. Than at some point we would have to go up against that kid who I knew was in fact number one in the nation, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
I gulped at the thought of that, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that we did not seem to stand a single chance against that what so ever. As I kind of just let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, at that. As I just then did in fact seem to start to get my mjnd and my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that it was that I had just so happened to be thinking on long before now, never the less.
As just as it was that I had in fact kind of seemed to start to go right on ahead and do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time as well, at that. And I then did in fact seem to get my mind and my focus on to reality.
I looked on over to Brandon, as I saw him coming right back on over to just where it was that I was at. As he just the did in fact begin to start to sit right on down on the couch, all at the exact same time too, all at once. As he then did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time as well, at that, and I just then did in fact seem to speak to me.
As it was that I had in fact began star to hear him speak to me, all at the exact same time too. I immediately then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead, all at once, at that. And I then did in fact seem to start to nod right back on over towards him. As I let him know that I was in fact paying my full attention on to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say to me right now.
As soon as it was that I had in fact just so happened to seem to do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. That was when he just then did in fact seem to start to continue to speak on over towards me, all at the exact same time too. As I of course then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact even feel like he even needed to say to me right now, never the less.
"You ready to get this started? Think you can come back down 130 to 67 in just 4 minutes?" He said to me, as he just then did in fact seem to start to laugh at me, as soon as it was that he had in fact just said as to just what it was that he had even said. As it was clear to me that he was in fact mocking me right now, never the less.
As he was of course using the Bulls, as that was in fact our home city, all at the exact same time too. Which I did not seem to care all too much about at all, what so ever. As I knew that I was simply just choosing the Cavaliers, all at the exact same time too. As I knew that it was that they did in fact have DeShawn Glass, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
That was all that I wanted to use, as I was so happy that they had in fact put him in the game for one thing. As I had made him play all 48 minutes of this game so far, all at the exact same time as well, at that. And I had made him run every play, even if it was that he was in fact a shooting guard, never the less, at that.
As that was the reason that it was that we were losing so bad. He was not the best at passing the ball, as 2k was kind of over exaggerating about how bad it was that he was in real life. But even at a shooting guard, which felt like a lot of disrespect to his game in real life. He could not even sink a wide open 3, which he had made plenty of heavily contested ones in real life, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just rolled my eyes a bit to my self, all at once, as I was not all too bothered by just what it was that Brandon had said. As I kind of simply let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too. And I just then did in fact seem to start to continue to speak right back on over towards him, all at the exact same time as well.
As I saw that as it was that I had in fact just done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact seem to go right on ahead, all at once at that. I then did in fact see him nod right back on over towards me, with his eyes wide. As it was clear to me that he was in fact paying his full attention on to just what it was that I was about to say to him, all at once, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to start to see him do as such a thing like that all of the sudden. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to continue to go right on ahead my self, all at once. And I just then did in fact seem to just start to continue to speak on over towards him. As I knew that it was that he was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I even felt like I even needed to say back on over towards him, all at the exact same time too.
"Yeah... Well... Maybe if 2k didn't have DeShawn at a 71... Then I would stand a chance..." I said on over towards him, all at the exact same time too, never the less, at that. As I kind of just let out a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that, never the less. As it was that I seemed to notice that it was that Brandon did not seem like it was enough for him what so ever, at that. To change his mind about the fact that it was that he was just simply a bad player, all at the exact same time too. I kind of just let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I tried to convince him once again, that he was some what decent, all at the exact same time as well. As I just then did in fact seem to just start to once again, continue to speak to him, as I knew that he was still listening as to just what it was that I had even had to say to him, all at the exact same time as well, at that. "He is the starter right now, they at least should show him some sort of respect... He is one of the lowest rated players in the game..."
I said to him, all at the exact same time too, as I did in fact kind of just seem to have my eyes squinted on him, as soon as it was that I had in fact just said as to just what it was that I had even said to him, at that. As he just did not still seem to be all too convinced other wise, as to the fact that it was that DeShawn was any sort of good, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As I kind of just seemed to let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, all at once. As in the end, I just then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead, all at once, at that, never the less. And I just then did in fact seem to start to notice, and I saw him roll his eyes a bit on over towards me, as a bit of a response as to just what it was that I had even just said to him, never the less.
I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm, and as normal as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, all at once, at that. As in the end, I just then did in fact seem to start to see him shake his head back on over towards me, all at once. As he just then did in fact seem to start to speak back on over towards me, as he had his eyes right on mine, as soon as it was that he just did in fact seem to start to do as such a thing like that all of the sudden.
I kind of just did my best to try to act as calm, and as normal as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, all at once, at that. As in the end, I just then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too, at that. And I then did in fact seem to start to nod back on over towards him. To let him know that it was that I was in fact paying my full attention as to just what it was that he even felt like he even had to say to me, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to start to do as such a thing like that all of the sudden, all at once. That was when he just then did in fact seem to start to continue to go right on ahead, at that. And I just then did in fact seem to start to hear him speak to me, all at the exact same time too. As I of course then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he did in fact even needed to say to me as a bit of a response, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
"Yeah... He's starting because old ass Seth Curry is hurt... Why do you think they are 9-32?" He said to me, as I kind of felt like he did in fact have a bit of a fair point on just what it was that he had even said to me, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I kind of just let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of shook my head a little bit to my self, all at once, as I felt like I should not let what it was that he had said bother me too much. I was sure that it was just the simple fact of the matter that it was that he was in fact a hater, all at the exact same time too. As I kind of just let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self all of the sudden, all at once, at that.
As in the end, I just then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead, all at once, at that. And I just then did in fact seem to start to click on the A button the controller, all at the exact same time too, all at once. As I just then in the end, did in fact begin to start the game back up, as I was ready to get this over with, so that it was that we could start up another game, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just kind of seemed to stand there, and I had in fact just kind of seemed to stare at the screen for a few seconds. That was when I just then began to start to go up the court with DeShawn, all at the exact same time too. As it was that he seemed to be very very slow, all at the exact same time as well.
Which made no such sort of sense to me what so ever, as I knew that it was, all at the exact same time too. That he was in fact of course, the fastest player that was in fact on the Cave, all at the exact same time as well, never the less, all at once, at that. As it seemed like he was slower than a center running up the court right now.
I kind of just rolled my eyes a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that. As in the end, I just then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. And I just then did in fact seem to start to stop at the 3 point line, as I saw that Brandon was in fact purposely leaving me open for a wide open 3 right now.
Which I knew that in real life, if it was that DeShawn was in fact to take that shot, that he would splash it in to the net, all at the exact same time too, never the less. But in this fantasy world of 2k, as I saw the smirk that was in the face of Brandon right now. As I then did in fact press on the button that it was that I needed to shoot the ball, all of the sudden.
He knew as to just what it was that I knew was going to happen, all at the exact same time too, never the less, once again. As I just then did in fact seem to start to let the ball out of DeShawn's hands, all at the exact same time too, never the less. As I just then did in fact seem to watch it soar on over to just where it was that the basket was at, at that.
But I knew 2k animations all too well at this point, as it was clear to me that the ball was not going to go in to the hoop, never the less. As I groaned as it was that the ball then did in fact not even hit the basket, as the ball then did in fact seem to soar out of bounds all of the sudden, at that. As of course no player on the Cavs tried to make a play to stop the ball from going out, which was at least some what realistic to how it was that the team did in fact play, never the less.
I kind of just rolled my eyes a bit to my self all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, all at once. As I could hear Brandon laughing, as he just seemed to pause the game, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was that he then did in fact just seem to start to do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well. That was when he then did in fact do a little bit over exaggerated as it was that he seemed to slump to the ground in tears of laughter.
I let out a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that. As I just then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time. As I just then did in fact begin to start to speak up to Brandon, all at once, at that. As I felt like I was a bit annoyed with just what it was that was in fact all even going on right now, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to start to do as such a thing like that, all at once. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to notice that all at the exact same time as well. That he did in fact look on over to me, all at the exact same time too. As he just then did in fact seem to start to blink his eyes a few times, at that. As it was clear to me that he was in fact paying his full attention on to just what ever it was that I was about to go on ahead and even say to him in the very first place any ways, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just kind of seemed to start to see him do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to continue to speak to him, all at the exact same time too. As I let him know that of course, that it was that I felt like I needed to say some thing to him, at that. As I knew that it was of course, that he was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I did in fact feel like I even needed to say to him, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
"DeShawn just scored 25 the other night... Can they not at least show him a little bit of respect? Like come on... Even you good shoot better than that Brandon..." I said to him, as I rolled my eyes a bit on over towards him, as soon as it was that I had in fact even just said as to just what it was that I had even said to him, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just said as to just what it was that I had even said on over towards him all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too. That was when Brandon then did in fact seem to start laughing, all at the exact same time too. As it was clear that he had not thought as to just what it was that I had said as to that being all too funny, all at the exact same time too.
Which I was a little bit lost as to just why that was the case. As for one thing I knew that I had just meant it as a joke, all at the exact same time too. And I also knew that it was in fact kind of true, all at the exact same time as well. At that, as I knew that the only time that it was that Brandon had in fact actually been able to score this season. Was when he got fouled, and he had been lucky enough to make 1 of those 4 free throws that he had shot.
It was clear that it kind of hurt him, and it kind of just seemed to get in to a bit of a soft spot on him, as to just what it was that I had even said to him, never the less, at that. Which I had of course not intended to do what so ever, at all. As I kind of just seemed to start to dip my head a little bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that I had in fact kind of just seemed to stare at the ground for just a few seconds longer, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to hear the happy, and funny voice of Brandon once again. As it was clear to me that right now, all at the exact same time as well, that he was in fact beginning to start to speak to me right now.
I kind of just lifted my head up a little bit at first, all at the exact same time too, all at once. As I kind of just seemed to stand there and stare for just a few seconds more, all at once. As I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was really even going on with my friend right now, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to stare at him right in to his eyes for just a little bit more time, all at the exact same time too, at that. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time as well. And I just then did in fact seem to start to nod right back on over towards him. As it was clear that it was that I was in fact letting him know that I was in fact paying my full attention on to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say to me right now, never the less, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to start to do as such a thing like that all of the sudden, at that. That was when in the end, I just then did in fact seem to start to hear him. As it was that he did in fact just seem to continue to speak to me, luckily enough for me of course. As I of course did in fact just seem to start to begin to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say to me in the very first place any ways, at that.
"Well... Maybe he just got lucky that game... In my opinion, he is still trash... The Cavs have a history of drafting players like that..." He said to me, as I saw that he once again did in fact have a bit of a smirk on his face, as soon as it was that he had said as to just what it was that he had even said to me.
As I was simply just glad that it was that he was not seeming to be all too upset with me what so ever right now, all at the exact same time too. As I kind of just seemed to let out a bit of a rough sigh of some sort of relief to my self, all at once. As soon as it was that I had in fact heard as such a thing like that all of the sudden, at that.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm, and as normal as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, all at the exact same time too. As in the end, I just then did in fact seem to start to look back on to the big TV screen that was in fact in front of me right now, all at the exact same time too. As I kind of let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to start to do as such a thing like that, all at once.
I felt like I probably should not say any thing else about that at all, what so ever, at that. As I did not want to hurt his feelings any more than it was that it kind of felt like. And that it kind of seemed like it was that I had in fact even just done in the very first place any ways, never the less, at that.
As it was that the game seemed to start back up, all at the exact same time too, all at once. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to notice that all at the exact same time as well, never the less, at that. That it was that it just so happened to be that Coby White just seemed to sprint up the court running over twice as fast it was that DeShawn Glass had ran, all at the exact same time too.
As just as it was that he had in fact got to where it was that my defense was in fact standing at, all at the exact same time too, all at once. That was when he blew past DeShawn, as it seemed like DeShawn did not even humanly seem to under stand the game of basketball, all at the exact same time too, never the less, at that. As after it was that he had done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too. That was when he just then did in fact seem to go right to the hoop, and get a wide open lay up, all at once, at that.
As I grunted out quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, at that. Just as soon as it was that such a thing like that had in fact even happened, never the less. As I just then did in fact seem to start to turn my head right back on over to Brandon, who I saw had a big smile on his face right now, at that.
I kind of was once again a little bit annoyed by it, never the less. Though I knew that there was no reason for me to be acting as such a way like that, never the less. As I was sure that I too would in fact be happy my self, if it was that it was just seeming to be that easy for me, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
I kind of just seemed to stand there, and I just seemed to stare for just a little bit more time, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. As I just then did in fact seem to start to go right on ahead and do as such a thing like that all of the sudden, all at once. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to speak back to Brandon, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to start to do as such a thing like that, all of the sudden, all at once. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to all of the sudden see him turn his head on over towards me. And he just then did in fact seem to nod on over to me as well. As it was clear to me that he was in fact letting me know that he was in fact paying his full attention at the very least, on to just what it was that I was about to say to him all of the sudden, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just kind of seemed to start to do as such a thing like that, all at once, at that. That was when I just then did in fact seem to start to continue to speak on over towards him, once again. As I knew that it was of course, that he was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I did in fact feel like I even needed to say to him in the very first place any ways, never the less, at that.
"Nah... I just think that 2k is trash..."
