Game Day
Scholastic Decathlon
Callback Day
Help!

The hallways filled up with waiting students with posters and cheer equipment for the game. Michael, Luke, Liam and Zayn enter the homeroom where Ariana and Harry are studying for the Scholastic Decathlon. Luke and Michael ran around behind them and cover their eyes while Zayn brings over a pie that has the Pi symbol on it. "A pi pie." Zayn whispered to Luke and Michael so Harry and Ariana couldn't hear. When Luke and Michael removed their hands, both Harry and Ariana gasped when they saw the pie.

"Oh my goodness!" Ariana said.

"Oh my gosh!" Harry said at the same time as Ariana.

"What?" Ariana looked at Luke and Michael with a confused look. They pointed at Zayn. "Thank you!" Both hugged Luke, Zayn, Liam and Michael then Ariana realized when they forgot. "Oh. we have something for you, too."

"Yeah, come here, look." Harry grabbed Luke's hand and dragged him and his teammates to a white board that is filled with a large equation and a little diagram of a basketball player about to shoot the ball.

Both Harry and Ariana along with Becca yelled. "Ta-da!" Showing the board and making the team look even more confused.

"Oh...it's an equation." Luke said, trying to figure it out. Harry, Becca and Ariana giggle as they turn the board around over to reveal a poster of a large "Wildcats" making a basketball with the words "GO! Wildcat Hoopers" next to it. When Luke, Zayn, Michael and Liam saw it, they all said. "Oh!"

"That's awful." Michael said to Ariana. But as they stand appearing the image, Harry and Ariana began bombarding the team with plush basketballs. All of them were laughing and having fun. Not noticing Luke's disappearance, Harry squeaked when he felt being lifted and spun around by Luke. Next, Luke, Zayn and Liam exit the classroom as Michael brings Perrie and Niall over. Mr. Higgins arrives in time to see the presentation. "Stay right there and watch." Michael said to Perrie, Niall and Mr. Higgins.

"From our team to yours." said Luke. The entire Wildcat team is in a formation in the hallway.

"G-"
"O-"
"D-"
"R-"
"A-"
"M-"
"A-"
"C-"
"L-"
"U-"
"B-"

And of course, Luke being his cheeky self yelled "Exclamation point."

"Well, seems like we Wildcats are in for an interesting afternoon." Mr. Higgins said, looking at the basketball team offering. Behind him, some students including Harry and Ariana have gathered to watch the Wildcats' little presentation.

As Mr. Higgins turns around, Ariana told Harry to go. Him, Harry and the rest of the class get back to their seats. Perrie seems very pleased with the Wildcats offering. Niall smiles and shakes hands with all the team. As the school bell rings, the students from every classroom along the hall fill the empty corridor, all leading to the Wildcats game with their friends, family and cheering equipment.

The gym is filled with spectators as the cheerleaders do a routine. The game is about to commence. But in the locker room, Luke sits on the bench shirtless with his head in his hands. Just then, Coach Hemmings/Luke's dad goes to have a word and Luke looked up at his dad.

"Nervous?"

"Yeah, me too. Wish I could suit up and play alongside you."

"Hey, you had your turn." Luke joked. Things have seriously gotten a lot better between the two.

"You know what I want from you today?"

"The championship." Luke said seriously.

"Well, that'll come up or it won't. What I want is for you to have fun. I know all about the pressure. And probably too much of it has come from me. What I really want is to see my son having the time of his life, playing the game we both love. You give me that, and I'll sleep with a smile on my face, no matter how the score comes out." Mr. Hemmings finished his rant.

"Thanks, Coach... uh... Dad." Coach Hemmings smiles, and leaves Luke to finish sitting up.

Meanwhile in the auditorium, Perrie and Niall are warming up and Calum is practicing Harry's and Luke's song. In a classroom, the academic team with Harry pacing around and seeing his mum.

"Mum, you made it." He looked down. "I thought you had work."

"Oh, I did but I told my boss that I had to be here for you. I'll be in the stands cheering you on. Now," She lifted Harry's head. "Who's my favorite Hazzaboo?"

"Mum." Harry groaned and Becca giggled.

"Fine. Me."

"That's better." They smiled and Harry hugged his mum. "Thanks, mum for bringing me to this school. I wouldn't give it up for anything."

"You're welcome dear. Now go. Your team is waiting. And kick some butt!" Ms. Styles encouraged her son.
