I stood there and stared, as it was that I did in fact just seem to have my head down as it was that I did in fact just seem to be a bit hurt as to the way that things were going just now. As it was that I wished that it was that I was in fact on the floor right now. As I knew that it was that I should be leading this team in a winnable game that we did in fact have just now.
Though, perhaps the team was in fact better off with out me, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I knew that it was that I was in fact caught skipping classes of course, as well. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to hate my self.
Perhaps I was in fact a negative impact on the team... Perhaps basketball was not the sport for me... Hell... Was any sport the sport for me? I felt like I should simply just be doing what it was that my mother was doing just now, never the less.
I knew that it was that it wasn't fair that she was in fact working so hard for me, none the less. And that it was that in return, I was skipping my classes, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to let out a rough sigh to my self all of the sudden, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe, all at the exact same time too.
"There is no one else to blame... It's your own damn fault..." I said to my self, at that. As it was that I felt like I almost wanted to just cry. As perhaps I should just leave this locker room just now, never the less. And that it was that I should in fact go and wonder around the school, never the less.
Or maybe... Or maybe just run away... Maybe that was a good idea... As it was that it was in fact some thing that it was that I was in fact kind of thinking about doing just now.
Maybe this world would be better off with out me... As I knew that all it was that I seemed to do was cause stress and chaos in to every one else's life. As it was that I knew that Xavier was in fact under a lot of stress just now, as to the fact that he was in fact coaching me and the team, at that.
Though, I also knew that it was that Xavier was the last person that it was that I felt like I should in fact feel bad for, never the less. As it was that I knew as to the fact that it was that the reason that I had skipped school today. Was to clear my mind off of the thoughts of what had happened last night, before the game today.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have though on that for just a few more moments of some time, all at the exact same time too. I just then did in fact just seem to start to just breathe in quite a bit of a rough sigh to my self, all at once, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak to my self once again.
"Fuck you Xavier... I should just go and tell my mom about what you did last night right now..." I said to my self, all at once, at that. As it was that I really felt like I was in fact tempted to go and do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was that 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 that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now, never the less.
I knew that if it was that I was in fact to do as such a thing like that. That I could kiss my dreams of becoming an NBA player good bye. As it was that I felt like it was that I should just simply suck up as to the fact that it was that what I had done was stupid, and that it was in fact wrong, at that.
Which it was that I also kind of felt like it was that Xavier needed to do the same thing for me and Brandon as well, at that. But I knew that it was of course, none the less. That he was never going to do as such a thing like that. So I felt like it was that I was in fact wasting my time on the fact that it was. That I was in fact hoping that it might in fact even be the case, never the less.
As it was that 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 those other thoughts, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly hear the loud beeping. Of what it was that it was clear that it was in fact the end of the quarter, all at the exact same time too.
Or rather, it was in fact the end of the half, never the less. As it was that I just then did in fact begin to start to remember as to the fact that it just so happened to be. That it was not the first time that I had in fact heard the beeping so far this game.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have realized, and I had in fact just seemed to have noticed that it was in fact the case, all at the exact same time too. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to once again let out another soft sigh to my self. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak to my self, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
"Welp... Here we go..." I said to my self, as just as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have said as to just what it was that I had even said. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to continue to go and hear the fact that there were in fact foot steps. As it was clear to me that my team mates were in fact heading in to the tunnel, all at the exact same time too, never the less, at that.
As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to get my self up from off of where it was that I was sitting at on the chair just now, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to continue to go right on ahead, all at once, at that. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to just calm my self down all of the sudden.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have done as such a thing like that, never the less. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear the voices of them as they were speaking to one another, at that. As it was that I just seemed to catch the voice of Zaire, at that.
As it was that he did in fact just seem to start to speak to one of his other team mates just now, at that. As it was that I simply did in fact seem to blink my eyes a few times at first. As I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that Zaire did in fact feel like he did in fact feel like he even needed to say just now, all at the exact same time too.
"I can't wait to get back home and get some thing to eat man..." He said, as it was clear that he was in fact at the front of the tunnel, at that. As it was clear to me that it was that I just then did in fact just seem to have missed a whole lot whilst it was that I was in fact in the locker room, at that.
As it was that it was in fact clear to me that it was of course the case. That it did in fact just seem to be the fact that the team must have a very big lead. If it was that Zaire felt like he was more worried as to the fact that it was that he needed to get some thing to eat, over the game that was even going on just now, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a few more seconds, all at the exact same time too, at that. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that it was that all of my team mates then did in fact just seem to start to walk in to the locker room with me, at that. As it was that I saw that they all seemed to have their heads down just now, at that.
I did my best to try to keep my hopes up how ever, all at the exact same time too, never the less. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to continue to go right on ahead. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak to them all, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact, just seemed to have began to have done as such a thing like that. I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that they all then did in fact just seem to turn their heads and eyes on over towards me. As it was clear to me, that they were in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what ever it was that was in fact even going on just now, and what it was that I even had to say on over towards all of them, never the less.
"Hey? Whats going on? What's the score?" I said to them all, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I still had my hopes up as to the fact that it was that we did in fact seem to be winning this game, never the less. As I felt like our team would in fact be some what good with Braxton on it, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to look on over towards Braxton, in hopes that it was that he would in fact tell me the good news that I was hoping to hear, never the less. As it was that I just seemed to see that he seemed to have his eyes wide. As it was that it seemed like he was not all too sure as to just what it was that he should even say back to me just now.
How ever, just as soon as it was that he had in fact just seemed to have noticed that it was that I did in fact have my eyes right on to him. He just then did in fact just seem to realize that it was that I was waiting for him to speak to me right now, at that. As it was that he just then did in fact just seem to start to speak right back on over towards me all of the sudden, at that.
As soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have realized that it had even been the case, all at once, at that. I just then did in fact just seem to let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self, as well. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to begin to listen as to just what ever it was that he felt like he even needed to say to me, all at the exact same time.
"Man... It's a blow out... Thats all you need to know..." He said to me, as it was that I kind of felt like it was that I wished that it was that he would go in to a little bit more detail as to just what it was that he had meant by what it was that he had said to me.
But based off of the grim looks on my team mates, I had to assume as to just what ever it was that he had in fact meant by just what it was that he had even said to me never the less. That it was clear to me that it was nothing at all good, at that. As it was that I kind of just then did in fact just seem to start to dip my head a little bit low to the ground all of the sudden, at that.
Just as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have done as such a thing like that how ever, never the less. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear the voice of Pearce. As it was that he just then did in fact just seem to start to steo up and speak all of the sudden, all at once.
And as much as it was that I felt like I wanted to believe that it was that he was not talking to me, or at least talking about me just now. I knew that right away, it was not the case what so ever, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to lift my head up, all at once, at that.
And I then did in fact just seem to see that it was that he did in fact have his eyes right on to me. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to stare right back at him as well. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to listen as to just what ever it was that Pearce did in fact feel like he even needed to say right on over towards me just now, all at the exact same time too.
"Yeah... Where the hell have you been at? Why are you just sitting here in the locker room?" He said, as it was that he did in fact just seem to have his eyes squinted at me, just as soon as it was that he had in fact even just said what it was that he had in fact even just said to me, never the less.
As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to get my mind and my focus off of the rest of those other thoughts, at that. As it was that I was a little bit lost as to just how it was that he didn't know as to just why it was. That it was in fact even the case, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As I seemed to just stand there and stare with my head a bit low to the ground, at that. As that was due to the fact that it was that I knew that I was not allowed to play. As that was due to the fact that it was that I had in fact skipped my classes today. Which I was sure that they were all going to be a little bit upset about, all at the exact same time too.
But I kind of felt like it was that I knew as to the fact that there was a reason that I had skipped classes today. As it was that it just then did in fact just seem to start to kind of upset me all of the sudden, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to lift my head up.
As it was that I felt like I did in fact feel like I wanted to say some thing about Xavier, at that. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear the voice of Xavier all of the sudden, at that. As it was that he just then did in fact just seem to start to speak back to the entire team that was in fact here just now.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have realized that it was in fact the case of course. I just then did in fact just seem to turn my head right on over towards him, all at the exact same time too. As 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 to us all just now, at that.
"Your leader... And your team captain... He decided that he was going to skip his classes today... And of course, that is against the school, and the league rules for game day..." He said to every one, as it was that they all just then 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 turn their heads right back on over towards me.
As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to see that it was. That they all did in fact just seem to have their eyes wide just now. As it was that they just then did in fact just seem to start to continue to do as such a thing like that. As it was that I felt like it was that I did in fact just kind of want to dip my head a bit low to the ground.
As it was that I did in fact want to feel a little bit had, and a little bit guilty as to just what it was that I had done. But I knew that this was in fact still all of Xavier's fault, never the less. As it was that I simply just kept my eyes squinted at Xavier, as it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear the voice of Steve, at that.
As it was that he just then did in fact just seem to feel like he did in fact want to speak to me, all at once. As it was that I kind of felt like he was the last voice that I wanted to hear speak just now, never the less. But either which way it did in fact just so happen to be, never the less. I did in fact just seem 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.
"What the hell man? What were you thinking? I thought you said that we were supposed to be a team... And we put the team first..." He said to me, as it was clear to me that he was in fact quite a bit upset as to just the way that things did in fact just seem to be going just now. Which I kind of felt like I could in fact not blame him as to just why that was the case.
But either way, I kind of was in fact a little bit upset as to the fact that it was that I was going to have to take the blame for this all. When it was that I knew that Xavier was the one to blame for doing what it was that he had in fact done. To get me to be the way that it was that I had in fact been all day, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to simply turn my head right back on over towards Xavier, all at the exact same time too. As Xavier had his eyes wide as it was that I did in fact just seem to have my eyes squinted at him just now, never the less. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden just speak back to Steve, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have done as such a thing like that. It was clear to me that based off of the fact that it was, that the entire team was in fact staring at me just now, never the less. That they all 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 all of them just now.
"Yeah well... I kind of had my head lost in some other thoughts..." I said to them, as it was that I knew as to the fact that it was. That I had in fact meant just what it was that I had even just said right now. As to the fact that it was that I was in fact talking about Xavier just now, never the less.
As it was that Xavier did in fact just seem to start to realize that it was in fact the case all of the sudden. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to see him squint his eyes right back on over towards me all of the sudden, all at once, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact clearly could tell that he was upset with me.
I kind of simply did in fact not seem to care what so ever as to the fact that it was in fact the case. As it was that I could in fact just seem to see that it was in fact in the back ground. That Brandon did in fact have his head down low to the ground just now, never the less, at that.
As it was that it was clear that he did in fact want to back me up just now, all at the exact same time too. But it was also clear that he did in fact know just as well as it was that I did in fact know as to the fact that it was in fact the case, never the less. As to just what it was that would happen if it was that he was to do as such a thing like that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have looked at Brandon from the corner of my own eyes for just a few more seconds. That was when it was that I just then did in fact fully just seem to get my eyes and my focus back on to Xavier. As it was that he just then did in fact just seem to start to speak right back on over towards me all of the sudden, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have realized as to the fact that it had in fact even been the case, never the less. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to simply just breathe in a bit of a soft sigh to my self. As it was that 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 to me just now, at that.
