On The Clock (Book 2)

Chapter 22: To The Park

Wake up... To to school... Practice... Go Home... Sleep... That was the rinse repeat that I felt like I had seemed to have been living in over the last couple of months.
2-4 that was our record. It was a terrible record if it was that I was not going to lie to my self. As I knew that we were in fact placed last place in the conference just now, all at the exact same time too. As that was due to the fact that it was of course.
That we had only played 1 game in the conference as it was so far, all at the exact same time too. And we had gotten blown out more than any other team, all at the exact same time too. As I felt like even if it was that we did in fact win this next game. For all I knew we could still be ranked #9 in the conference, even with .500 record, never the less.
That was if it was that we did in fact win this next one of course. As we were in fact about to go in and play a fairly hard team, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. As they were 5-1. Their only loss being to the first game of the season against their conference opponent of course.
Which just so happened to be the #2 seed in the conference, all at the exact same time too. As it was that they seemed to be just as good of a team as the team that we had played first game of the season, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have thought on those thoughts for just a little bit more of some time, all at the exact same time too. I felt like I could not lie to my self either, never the less. I felt a little bit hopeless as to the fact that it was that we were in fact going to do any thing this year, all at the exact same time too.
Which did in fact suck, as I knew that we were in fact going to lose Braxton, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. As I sure hoped that there were going to be some more kids that were in fact going to take the team more serious next year, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
I felt a little bit weak of it was that I was not going to lie to my self either. As I felt like I was thinking far too negative as to just what it was that was even going on just now, if it was that I was not going to lie to my self either, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I knew that we actually did not have that bad of a team, all at the exact same time as well.
Now that we had Braxton, I felt like we could in fact make a little bit of a run. And I felt like we could in fact make a little bit of a push to get in the conference tournament, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I kind of cracked a little bit of an excited smile on my face at the thought of that, all at once.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a little bit more time, all at the exact same time as well. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly speak a little bit quietly too my self, all at the exact same time too.
"We can win this game... We can win this game..." I said, as I just seemed to repeat my self a little bit, as it was that I felt like I did in fact just seem to start to think on that a little bit more. As it was that I did in fact just seem to start to sit at the dinner table, as if it was that I was refusing to eat.
It was not the fact that it was that I did in fact not want to eat. As this was in fact one of my mother's most basic meals that she made when she knew that she was in fact going to be a little bit extra busy, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was of course a big pan of chili that she left in the fridge for a few days.
That way she did in fact not have to worry about making meals what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. As I kind of just seemed to let out a little bit of a rough and a little bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at once, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to get my mind and my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts, all at once.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to stare at the bowl of chili, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear the voice of Brandon. As it was that he just then did in fact just seem to start to speak on over towards me, all at once, at that.
As it was that I was a little bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on just now. As it was that it did in fact seem like I had in fact completely forgot about the fact that he had in fact been with me all this time. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to blink my eyes a few times, just as soon as it was that he had in fact just said as to just what he had even said to me, all at once.
As it was that I just seemed to do my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could. As I just then did in fact in the end, all at the exact same time too. I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say towards me just now, at that.
"Relax man... The game isn't that serious..." He said to me, as I kind of just tilted my head a little bit on over towards him, all at once. As it was that I was a little bit confused as to just what it was that he was even getting at just now, at that. As it was that he did in fact know as to just how serious it was that I did in fact take basketball, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I felt like he should know that it was that it was in fact serious to me, as to just what it was that I was even thinking on just now, at that. As it was that I kind of just seemed to squint my eyes, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that, never the less. As in the end, he just then did in fact just seem to roll his eyes on over towards me, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to continue to hear him speak on over towards me, all at once. As I just once again did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say to me just now, at that. "You're already up by 14 points... There's 3 minutes left to go in the 4th... You've got this on lock... You have the ball..."
I was a little bit lost as to just what it was that he was even talking about just now, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was that I seemed to tilt my head a little bit more on over towards him, at that. As I wondered if it was that he was just seeming to play and make up some sort of scenario just now, all at the exact same time too.
How ever, just as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared at him for just a little bit more time, all at once. I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that he just then did in fact just seem to start to nod his head on over towards some thing that was in fact in the other room from us just now.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have realized that he had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to turn my head on over towards it. As it was that I saw that it was that we were in fact playing Madden, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that I was in fact the Bears, and he was in fact the Rams, all at the exact same time as well, at that. As it was that I did in fact have Justin Fields lined up getting ready to snap the ball, all at once, at that. As it was that I kind of just seemed to roll my eyes a little bit to my self, all at once.
As it was clear that he had in fact thought that it was that I was talking about the Madden game that we were in fact seeming to have been playing just a few minutes ago, all at the exact same time too. As I just seemed to let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self at first. As it was that I knew that it was not at all as to just what it was that I was even getting at, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared 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 just seem to start to get my mind. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to get my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to begin to blink my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time as well. As it was that I just then did in fact begin to start to speak right back on over towards him, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have done as such a thing like that. That was when I just then in the end. I then did in fact begin to start to see that he still had his eyes right on to mine. As it was clear to me, that he was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what ever it was that I did in fact feel like I even needed to say to him, at that.
"That wasn't what I was getting at..." I said, as I just seemed to roll my eyes right back on over towards him once again, as it was that he did in fact just seem to start to seem to get a little bit lost as to just what it was that I was even talking about, at that. As I saw that he did in fact just seem to start to tilt his head on over towards me, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to realize that it was in fact the case, all at once. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to get my mind and my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff that had in fact just seemed to be in my head long before now.
I kind of just did my best to try to act as normal as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, at that. As it was that Brandon then did in fact just seem to start to squint his eyes on over towards me just now, at that. As he just then did in fact just seem to start to speak right on over towards me, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have realized that it was in fact the case, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to blink my eyes a few times at first. As in the end, I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say back on over towards me, all at once, at that.
"What were you talking about then?" He said to me, all at the exact same time too, as it was that he seemed to be acting like I was some sort of hostage. And that he was in fact interrogating me, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that. Which did in fact kind of make me feel a little bit uncomfortable if it was that I was not going to lie to my self either.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a little bit more time. That was when he just then did in fact just seem to start to stare at the TV screen that was right in front of him. As it was that he seemed to almost feel like he was in fact going to find all of the answers that he did in fact need from there, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have continued to have stared at my friend right in to his eyes for just a little bit more time. That was when I just then in the end, did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden breathe in quite a bit to my self, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have done as such a thing like that. I was just about to open my mouth and get ready to speak right back on over towards my friend, all at the exact same time too. When I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear a 3rd person in the room just begin to start to step up and speak, all at once.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have heard as to just the fact that it was in fact the case, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to turn my head on over towards who it was, at that. As it was that I did in fact just seem to see that it was that Xavier was in fact in the kitchen just now, all at once, at that.
As it was that he did in fact just seem to be eating another one of my mother's yogurts, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I kind of just seemed to roll my eyes a few times at first. Just as soon as it was that I had in fact began to have realized that it was in fact the case just now.
As I just then did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too. And I just then did in fact begin to start to stare at him, at that. As I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say on over towards me, all at once, at that.
"I think he was talking about the game tomorrow Brandon..." He said on over towards Brandon. As it was that he did in fact have his eyes squinted at my friend. Just as soon as it was that he had in fact just seemed to have said what it was that he had even said, never the less, at that.
As it was clear to me that Xavier at the very least. He had in fact been under standing as to just what it was that I had said to my self. As I kind of simply just wished that I had not said that out loud, if it was that I was in fact going to be for real with my self, never the less, all at once.
I felt like it was stupid of me, even though I was sure that Xavier felt like it was that I was right. And as to the fact that it was that we should in fact be thinking on the game tomorrow. Rather than the fact that it felt like it was that we were in fact playing Madden, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have thought on that for just a few seconds of some time, at that. I just then did in fact just seem to let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too. As I just then did in fact pick up my spoon, and I just then did in fact begin to start to eat some of the chili that it was that my mother had made for us a few nights ago, never the less, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too. I felt the not so warm flavor of the microwaved chili hit my tongue. As I kind of grunted, all at the exact same time too. As I knew that this was an easy meal for my mother to make for us.
But I was not going to lie to my self either, at that. This was probably one of my least favorite meals that it was that she did in fact just seem to make for us, never the less. As I knew that it was cheap and for her as well, but I just did not like eating this non stop for nearly an entire week.
I kind of just shook my head a little bit to my self, all at once how ever. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly just hear a beep. As it was that every thing in the house just then did in fact suddenly begin to go dark in the house, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was clear to me, that the power had in fact gone out in the house, all at the exact same time as well. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to groan this time out loud. As it was that I did in fact hate when it seemed to so often happen in this place, all at the exact same time too.
I was not going to lie to my self. I felt like that was the reason as to just why it was that I hated living in this place as well. As well as the fact that we were in fact in the slums, all at the exact same time too.
The power went out so often, and it usually took a few hours for them to get back up. As this part of the city, which you might think it was that it would in fact be important. Was not all that important at all as a matter of fact, even with the fact that it was that it was in fact heavily populated all around, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I kind of just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a few seconds of some time, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear the loud voice of Brandon. As he just then did in fact begin to start to speak up.
As it was that he did in fact not seem to be all too happy as to just what it was that was even going on, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was that I kind of just seemed to look right on over towards him. And I just then 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, all at the exact same time too.
"Damn it! I didn't have save progress turned on!" He said, as it was clear to me that he was talking about the game of Madden that it was that we had in fact just been playing. Which I kind of rolled my eyes a little bit to my self just as soon as it was that he had in fact just seemed to have said as to just what it was that he had even said to me, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have realized that it was that it was in fact the case, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden get my mind, and I just then did in fact all of the sudden get my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff, all at once.
As it was that I felt like it was that I just really did not care at all about the game that it was that we had in fact even just been playing. Even if it was that I was in fact winning or not, I just really did not care at all. As it was that I was actually a little bit glad as to the fact that it was in fact the case.
If it was that I was not going to lie to my self either, never the less. As I felt like I wanted to do some thing different than what ever it was that he felt like he wanted to do. As I really did not want to stare in front of the TV screen and rot my brain all evening, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have thought on that for just a few seconds of some time, all at the exact same time as well. I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak out loud, all at the exact same time too. As even though it was in fact a little bit dark in the room that it was that we were in fact even in just now.
I did in fact just seem to start to see that it was of course. That both Xavier and Brandon both then did in fact just seem to start to turn their heads right on over towards me. As it was clear to me that it was of course, that they both were in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what ever it was that I did in fact feel like I even needed to say to them, all at the exact same time too.
"Oh what a bummer... What will we ever do now?" I said out loud, all at the exact same time too. As it was clear that I was in fact being a little bit sarcastic as to just what ever it was that I had even just said, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to get my mind and my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts, all at once.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a few moments of some time, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact see that it was that Brandon just then did in fact just seem to start to squint his eyes on over towards me, at that. It was clear that he knew that I was in fact being sarcastic as to just what it was that I had even just said out loud, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that we had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for quite a bit more time, all at the exact same time as well. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to get my mind. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to get my focus off of my good friend Brandon, at that.
As I just then did in fact begin to start to hear the voice of Xavier, all at the exact same time too. As it was that he just then did in fact begin to start to speak up to the both of us. As it was that I kind of just seemed to let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self, at first.
As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to turn my head on over towards him in the end. As it was that I just seemed to look at his face through the dark, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say right on over towards me, all at once.
"Well... I guess that means that we are going to the park!"
