Okay,
Today's the D-day.
I was in my hostel, still in bed, browsing through my phone.
“You coming?” Pink asked, all dressed in her uniform and holding a pink pom-pom.
“Still gotta think about it,” I said, not taking my eyes off my phone.
“Come on, it’s going to be nice,” she urged. “At least come cheer me on; it’ll mean a lot.”
Fuck!
She had me there.
“Okay, okay, fine,” I said as I went to the bathroom to take my shower while she giggled.
“See you at school then,” and off she went.
I still can't believe I'm going. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? Nemus is banned, so he can’t disrupt the games.
I took my shower, got dressed, and shortly after, I was at school.
The stands were packed with students, parents, and alumni, all eagerly awaiting the showdown between the rival teams: the scrappy underdogs from Alvin High School and the Caveroop Warriors.
I went in looking for a place to sit before Eska waved at me from the back, and I went over to join her.
“Thought you wouldn’t make it,” she said.
“Yeah, me too,” I said almost in a whisper.
“Hey, T!” Zack called upon seeing me. He sat next to Eska.
“Hello,” I waved at him.
Shortly after, each team was called upon as their cheerleaders made an entrance, bringing immense excitement from the crowd, who were eager to see the teams.
After their performances, the teams came out with colorful entrances, chanting their names.
The Caveroop warriors, dressed in their sleek, polished uniforms, had been training hard for the past three months for the big day.
Their star player, Jesse McCurdy, was known for his impressive three-point shots and confident swagger.
On the other hand, the Scrappy underdogs, in their spirited jerseys, had clawed their way to this game despite numerous setbacks throughout their season.
Their leader, Aaron Sullivan, was a determined and hardworking player who embodied the team's gritty spirit.
As the games began, the Caveroop warriors took an early lead with a series of swift plays and precise shots.
Jesse made a stunning three-pointer that drew cheers from everyone in the crowd, even I was amazed.
The Underdogs, however, weren’t about to back down. Aaron Sullivan, despite being guarded closely, drove the ball through Caveroop defense and made a layup, earning a roar of approval from the underdogs supporters.
The first half saw Caveroop maintaining their lead, but the Underdogs kept closing the gap.
During halftime, the Underdogs coach, Ms. Drew, gathered her team in the locker room. Her eyes were fierce with determination and a flick of disappointment as she spoke.
“we’ve come this far, not just because of favours but because of hard work and sacrifices. We've been through alot of setbacks in the past and now is our chance to rise up again and be known. Are we going to let this nobodies beat us?"
"No!" They all choursed
"Good, so play with everything you’ve got!”
The Underdogs emerged from the locker room with renewed energy, their faces set with determination.
