Chapter 15- Guys meet Jemima my girlfriend
We had a quick warm up before the match started. First was the girls match. I quickly did my stretching and ran a bit to get myself heated up.

"Okay girls tell me your strategy." Coach asked.

"We mark each and every opponent and nobody leaves their man. Make a score of 30 or 28 and win the game." I said.

"Perfect, get going!" Coach yelled.

I was the tallest in the team so I go for jump start. The ref. held the ball in the centre of the court. Opposite me for jump start was the other team's captain Serina.

As the ball was tossed in the air, I lunged for it. I being taller easily tapped the ball passing it to my player Mara. She dribbled the ball towards the basket but got blocked and passed to another one of my team mates Clarisse.

I knew Clarisse was gonna get blocked too so I ran past the opposition's defenses and Clarisse passed the ball to me. I took a layup and shot the ball into the basket! Bam! We scored.

By half time I was sweating like a pig. Players were being changed but I still had to play. Captain roles are tough. After drowning a bottle of blue Gatorade I was ready.

The game continued and soon the score was 26-26. We were on a tie. I looked at my coach for timings and he mouthed '30 seconds left' I knew what I had to do.

"Pass and mark your man!" I yelled out.

This is my emergency strategy. This means who ever in my team has the ball passes it to me. Then everyone has to mark one player so that no one can reach me. That my team did perfectly.

With the ball in my hand adrenaline rushed through my veins. I dribbled towards the basket. All players were marked except one. The captain. She rushed towards me but when she reached me, I rolled the ball from the space between her legs and caught it with the other hand and then bam! Basket....

I heard the whistle ring in distance and cheers broke loose. My team lifted me up on shoulders and we walked to the side.

"Good strategy there." Lucas said. I just ignored.

"Amazing work Emily! Well done!" Coach praised.

"Yea good one Em." Ethan added.

People congratulated me and praised my work. I was actually happy for once. Changing into casuals, the girls team came back so that coach could inform us about the rest of the tournament.

"Okay girls, the rest of the tournament is boys and girls together. Only if the boys win today you all go ahead. If they lose even you girls don't get to move forward. There are three more matches left and they won't be conducted here. You will have to go out of town for seven days. Clear?" Coach said.

"What about our school?" Mara asked.

"I have taken care of that. You won't be counted absent and the teachers will help you cope with all the work."

"Okay then." I smiled. Just hope the guys win.

We sat in the bleachers. By we I mean Katie and I because she was my only 'friend' from the team. So, we sat together watching the guys match begin.

Just like me Ethan took the jump start. The match went well until the part when Ethan fell. Oh no not because of his clumsiness but because of cheating.

The opposite team's player tripped my brother when he had the ball. Aaron yelled for a foul but my brother lay on the court certainly in pain. I ran towards him but was held back by the officials. Lucas and Aaron carried my brother to the bench and the opposition was disqualified.

"Ethan breath!" I cried sitting next to him.

"Look at his ankle." Aaron said.

His ankle was swollen and blue-black. Oh my god....his bone.... Holy shit it's dislocated! My body froze and panic was evident on my face. What do I do?

"Emily what is it?" Aaron asked.

"It's dislocated, shit." Coach cursed.

"How will he play the next match?" Lucas asked.

"Next match?! Are you crazy! He can not walk and you want him to play! Let's get him to the doc!" I yelled.

We carried Ethan to the nearby hospital and waited until the doctor examined him. Everyone was sent home by coach and then I told coach to leave too. Aaron held me as I cried once again. After about half and hour the doctor came out.

"How is he?" I asked.

"It is just a minor dislocation. We will keep him here for a week and then he is okay to leave." The doctor said.

"A week? Aaron it means I can't go for the match." I said.

"Emily let's go see Ethan first." Aaron said and I nodded.

Ethan lay on the bed with his left ankle plastered. He smiled as I came in. I sat next to him dreading every moment. I hated hospitals but I had been here countless times.

"Em don't cry. I'm fine." He said cupping my cheek.

"I know." I smiled.

"I'll call coach and tell him that the three of us aren't coming." Aaron said.

"Aaron you have to go!" I said.

"No---" Ethan interrupted Aaron.

"You are going too Emily." Ethan said.

"Come on I'm not leaving you alone." I said.

"There is someone to take care of me." Ethan smiled.

Just then a female entered the room. She looked almost eighteen. Light brown hair, green-grey eyes and the perfectly fair skin. She is really pretty.

"Oh my god Ethan! Are you okay?" She said.

"I'm fine Jemima." Ethan said and they kissed. I was beyond shocked.

"Guys meet Jemima my girlfriend. Oh and just by the way mom knows about her." Ethan said.

Okayy...WHAT?!
