On The Clock (Book 2)

Chapter 42: Tomorrow

I simply just let out a rough sigh to my self, all at once. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to stare at the ceiling that was above me. As I was not in the mood to do any thing today what so ever.
I felt like I wanted to get ready to watch the Cavs game that was on tonight. As it was that I knew that DeShawn was in fact going off, as he had averaged over 30 points in his last 5 games. But I just felt like I didn't care about basketball just now.
I felt like I didn't care about any thing what so ever, at that. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to let out a rough sigh to my self. As I almost wanted to cry just now, all at the exact same time too.
As it felt like it was the perfect time for me to do as such a thing like that. As I knew that I was in fact home alone just now. But I simply stopped my self from doing as such a thing like that how ever.
As it was that I then did in fact start to look away from the ceiling. As I then in stead just seemed to stare at the blank white wall. As I seemed to speak to my self a little bit under my breathe, all at the exact same time too.
"I'm so stupid... So damn stupid... I should be practicing with the team tomorrow... I am ruining the season for every one..." I said, as it was that I knew that it was in fact the case. As much as it was that I wanted to say that the guy had in fact egged me on.
I knew it was the case, but no one wanted to listen to me for what ever reason. And it did in fact kind of hurt me that it was the case. As it almost made it seem like I was the bad guy, and what the other guy had been doing was some how okay.
I just shook my head a little bit to my self, all at once. As I got my mind and my focus off of all of that, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to breathe in quite a bit of a rough sigh to my self, at that. As I then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead.
And I then began to just look at the TV remote, all at once. As I eventually gave up on sitting here doing nothing, all at the exact same time too. As I then began to lift up the remote, as I began to start to speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe.
"At least do some thing..." I said, as I took the TV remote and then I turned on the TV with it, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I immediately heard the loud TV for what ever reason or another, at that.
As it was that I was not all too sure as to just why it was that loud. I quickly then did in fact just seem to lower the volume a ton. As I was almost tempted to mute the TV, if I was not going to lie to my self.
How ever, I did not do as such a thing like that what so ever. As it was that I then did in fact in stead just go right on ahead. And I then began to start to all of the sudden turn to the channel guide, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at once. That was when it was that I began to start to scroll through the channels, at that. Until I stopped on one, with a little bit of a smile on my face as I began to start to speak to my self.
"Ah yes... Good ol Stephen A. Smith..." I seemed to have said to my self. As he was always the best, and my favorite sports broadcaster to watch. As he did in fact seem to be the most outrageous, and the most emotional when it was that he made his takes.
I then did in fact just seem to click on the channel that was on ESPN. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to shake my head a bit to my self as I did as such a thing like that. As I immediately did in fact just seem to notice that he seemed to be in an argument with some guy already.
As it was that I began to start to realize that it was in fact the case, all at the exact same time too. I leaned back against the TV with a big smile on my face, all at once. As I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that the guy felt like he had to say just now.
"This is the year! This is going to be the year that Joel finally takes his team to the finals!" The guy said, with a big smile on his face as it was that he had said what he had said. As it was clear that he believed that what it was that he was saying was the complete and utter truth.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to start to simply stand there and stare for just a little bit more time. That was when it was that I eventually did in fact start to hear the voice of Stephen A. Smith. As it was that he then did in fact just seem to start to respond right back to the guy, at that.
As it was that I began to start to see the TV screen switch to the Stephen A. Smith, at that. I saw that he did in fact just seem to be laughing at the guy just now, as well. As I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that the guy felt like he must say, all at the exact same time too.
"You're joking me right?! Please tell me you are joking me! Joel has been a shell of his former self after Harden! They are definitely going no where with his big ol 65mil that he's making this year! They have no money to pay their other 14 players!" He said, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that he seemed to have a very fair point on just what it was that he had said, at that. As it was that I kind of just simply nodded a little bit to my self, all at the exact same time too. As I then began to start to speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe all of the sudden, at that.
"Always right... He's always right..." I seemed to say to my self, at that. As it was that I continued to stare at the TV screen that was in fact in front of me still, at that. As it was that I seemed to feel a whole lot better about the Cavs chance at their future, over a team like the 76ers.
As it was that I then did in fact just seem to simply stand there and stare for a little bit more time. That was when it was that I just then did in fact seem to hear the voice of the other guy, all at once. As it was that he did in fact just seem to be speaking back to Stephen A. Smith, at that.
The guy seemed to have his eyes squinted at Stephen. As if it was that he felt like he was some sort of idiot, all at the exact same time too. As I then began to start to listen as to just what it was that he felt like he had to say back to him, all at once.
"You're joking me right? He is still a star! This is their best chance since they had Ben Simmons!" He said, all at the exact same time as well, at that. As it was that I kind of felt like the guy was in fact right, at that. As he might not be as great as it was that he had in fact used to be, none the less. But the league was finally out of the league with super teams.
And I felt like him and Tyrese Maxey could very well make a good run in the play offs, at that. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to stroke my chin a little bit. As it was that I seemed to think on that for just a little bit more time of course.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to stand there and stare for just a little bit more time. I then began to start to hear the voice of Stephen A. Smith, all at the exact same time as well. As the both of them were in fact on the screen at the same time, at that.
As it was clear that this was in fact going to be a big response that he was about to say. As I did in fact seem to tense my self up a little bit for some odd reason, at that. As I then began to start to listen as to just what ever he felt like he must say just now.
"Even so... Joel isn't happy on the 76ers... They trade to trade him in the off season? Would you want to be on a team that doesn't want you..." He said back to the other guy, all at the exact same time as well. As it was that the other guy did in fact just seem to have his eyes wide, at that.
As it was clear that he was in fact thinking back on all of the trade talks over the summer. As it was clear that he realized that he had in fact lost in the argument, all at the exact same time too, at that. As he then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead and dip his head a little bit low to the ground, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that of course. I then saw a little bit of a smirk on the face of Stephen A. As it was clear that he now realized that he had in fact won in the conversation, all at the exact same time too.
The guy how ever, seemed like he was in fact not giving up just yet, at that. As it was that it seemed like he was in fact giving one last shot back at Stephen A. Smith, at that. As I then began to start to listen as to just what ever the other guy felt like he must say in the very first place any ways.
"Even so... He is still a star... They are still going to push it this year... We are past the dead line..." He said, all at the exact same time too. As it was clear that he had in fact given up on the fact at this point that Joel Embiid did in fact still want to be in Phili.
As it was that Stephen A. Smith did in fact just seem to hold that smile for a bit more time. As it was clear to me that he knew that he had in fact won, all at the exact same time as well. And it was clear to me as well, that it was just about all that it was that he had really wanted.
I kind of just seemed to simply stare at the both of the guys for just a little bit more time. As the screen then did in fact just seem to go full screen, all at the exact same time as well. As I then did in fact just seem to start to hear the voice of Stephen A. Smith.
As it was that he did in fact just seem to be speaking to the viewers that were on TV just now. As it was that I seemed to lean back in to the couch, all at the exact same time too. As I then began to listen as to just what ever it was that he felt like he must say, all at the exact same time too.
"Well... Now that we got that out of the way... We will be back for the talks on the next stars in the upcoming draft!" He said, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was clear that he was in fact letting us know that we were now heading in to a commercial break, all at the exact same time too.
I grunted, just as soon as it was that I did in fact just seem to realize it was the case. As I then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too. And I then began to go right towards the remote, to mute the TV.
I hated the commercial breaks, as there was nothing that I liked. As it was just a bunch of stupid stuff that I was sure that didn't even work. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead and begin to start to speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe all of the sudden.
"Lame..." I seemed to have said, all at the exact same time too. As I then did in fact just seem to all of the sudden go right on ahead, all at once, at that. And I then began to start to just simply begin to reach in to my pocket to grab my phone, at that.
As it was that I was in fact tempted to just go and see if I had got any text messages from the group chat. Which I felt a bit bad about, as it had actually been quite dead. Since it was that I had in fact gotten suspended from school, none the less.
Which I felt like didn't make all too much sense to me what so ever, none the less. As I knew that I rarely did in fact ever talk in the chat what so ever, none the less. But then again, I also knew that I was in fact the team captain, none the less.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too. And I tapped on my phone screen, all at once. I then noticed that it was that there was nothing on there besides a few sportcenter notification.
As it was that I realized that it was in fact the case, all at once. I simply did in fact just seem to lock my phone once again. As I then began to start to just speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe as well.
"Man... I hate this..." I said, almost as if I was talking to some one, just as soon as it was that I had said what I had said of course. How ever, I knew that I was not talking to any one at all. As I was alone in the room, as my mother was in fact at work.
And Xavier was in fact doing practice with the team, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I just seemed to wince at the thought of that, all at the exact same time as well. As I knew that it was that I should in fact be with them, none the less.
As it was that I felt that kind of way, all at the exact same time too. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, all at once. And I then began to start to hear the front door of the place begin to start to open, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I seemed to realize that it was the case, all at once. I then did in fact just seem to start to turn my head on over towards the front door, all at once. As I saw that much to my own surprise, it was in fact my mother who was at the door.
As it was that I seemed to just stand there and stare at her for a few moments time. I then did in fact just seem to start to begin to speak on over towards her, at that. As I was sure that she was in fact listening as to just what it was that I had to say to her, all at once, at that.
"Well you're home very early... Did you quit another job?" I said, as it was that I felt a bit bad for assuming as such a thing like that. Though it was some thing that did in fact seem to happen fairly often for my mom. As I knew that she was a lady of not all too much patience.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stared at my mom right in to her eyes. That was when it was that she then did in fact just seem to roll her eyes right back at me. As she then did in fact also begin to start to speak right back on over towards me, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had began to have started to realize that it was in fact the case. I then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead all of the sudden, at that. And I then began to start to listen as to just what ever it was that she felt like she must say to me, all at once.
"No... I went to go speak with you guidance counselor, and your English teacher..." She seemed to have said, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I did in fact just seem to feel a whole lot better about every thing, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
Just as soon as it was that she had said as to just what it was that she had said, at that. As it was that I felt like it might in fact seem to bring some good news, all at the exact same time too. As it might mean that things might not end up being as bad as it was that it seemed like it was going to be for me, all at once, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared at my mother for a bit more time. As I saw that she did in fact just seem to put her keys on the counter. As I then began to start to all of the sudden speak right back on over towards her, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to start to stare at her with my eyes wide, at that. She just seemed to stare right back at me with a blank look on her face, at that. As it was clear to me that she was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I felt like I must say to her, all at the exact same time too.
"I'm not expelled from school am I?" I said to her, as it was that I felt like it was not the case at all. Though I also kind of felt like I had in fact beaten the shit out of the kid. As I had in fact sent him to the ER, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I kind of just seemed to stand there and stare at my mother for a bit more time. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to see her shake her head to me. As she then did in fact just seem to start to speak back to me, all at once.
How ever, she seemed to have a little bit of a smile on her face as she did as such a thing like that. As I was in fact a little bit lost and confused as to just why it was the case. As I then began to start to listen as to just what ever it was that she felt like she must say back to me all of the sudden.
"No... You got lucky son... Your English teacher convinced the school to cut off the OSS... You're going back to be able to play tomorrow..."
