Jayden POV
Why am I being called to the principal's office? What have I done? I don't remember if I did anything wrong, thoughts begin to feel my head running through all the possibilities but all stopped when I reached his office I took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
*KNOCK
*KNOCK
*KNOCK
After the 3rd knock I heard a faint 'come in' taking one last breath before opening the door to reveal the principal of this hell hole of a high school.
"You wanted to see me sir?"
"Ah Jayden, yes I did want to see you and don't worry you're not in trouble I just have some news to tell you." He told me with a smile as I sighed in relief before sitting down.
"So as you may or may not know the manager of our basketball team has been relieved of their duties so as expected we need a new manager," He started off as I sat still listening closely.
"And the problem with that is competitions and such are coming up along with the competitive tournament which is just around the corner so they need a manager." He explained as I nodded nervously.
"So I figured since you have good grades, you manage things better than anyone I know, you are practically perfect for the job so I have decided to make you the new manager of the basketball team." He finished as my eyes widened as my body stayed still.
I can't do this....
Why me out of all people?
You couldn't have chosen anyone else?
I'm sure there's someone better. Right?
"So here's everything you will need a team jacket team, the team schedule, names of people on the team etc." He told me as he slid me the papers from his side of the table.
I looked at the papers feeling nauseous my head still not rapping around the situation I think he realized this as he spoke up.
"Look if you want, if you would like if it would make you feel comfortable your best friend, Nathan, can help you if you would like that." He told me with a small smile as I let out a breath of relief I didn't know I was holding in.
"I would like that."
"It's settled then." He said as we both got up, and shook hands, but as I turned to leave I stopped and turned around to look at him.
"Sir?" I said as he looked up at me confused.
"Yes?"
"Thank you, thank you for this I mean." I think making him smile as I left him knowing there's at least one good person in this hell hole.
