I am Widow

Chapter 42

February 25: Lunch

"Okay, so tonight is the big game?" I ask Paul. We are siting in the usual spot and with the same people except James is missing. It's only Paul, Mike, Jessica and me.

"Yep, can you go?" Paul asks.

"Yes, it's my boyfriend's big night. It will be mean of me not to go." I say.

"Okay, we me and Jess are going to make out in the teacher's launch." Mike says. He gets Jessica and they run out.

"Mike can be so weird sometimes." I say. Paul agrees, "Yes he is."

The bell rings and Paul walks me to class. I see Jackson walking Rachel to her class as well. She pushes her face into his. Jackson pushes her away, "Don't use me to make her jealous." he says. Jackson walks away and leaves Rachel there. I kind of chuckle inside.

"It's okay, I am not jealous." I say as I pass by her.

JACKSON POV: AFTERSCHOOL

"You are totally gonna win." Rachel says.

I am walking her to the parking lot. I still don't get why I am with her. I guess I just don't want to be alone. Or I don't even know the reason, I am just a total asshole.

We get to her white car and I see Widow kissing Paul. They are across Rachel's car, so I can see everything. Widow is so into Paul's lips. The pain comes back to my heart as I see them. Why in the world did I cheat?! I am so fucking stupid!

"Babe, are you hearing me?" Rachel asks.

"Oh, yeah. See you in the game." I say.

I walk out of there, I don't want to see my love of my life kissing another guy.

I arrive to the lockers and see the team getting ready. I need to get my mind in focus. I cant think about Widow or let Paul get to me. I take a quick shower and put on some exercise clothes.

"Hey! Guess who is coming to the game?" Garret asks. I cant still believe he talks to me like he use to.

"a group of college coaches to see who they get! We can get a scholarship and play with the awesomeness! And from there, we can go professional NBA stars!" Garret exclaims.

I chuckle, "Wow, you really want to play basketball. But remember Garret, you are a sophomore. And the couches will only get seniors for their teams."

"I know but we can still make an impression right?"

I pet his head and nod.

"OKAY! Let's go get some practice before the game." I yell.

5 minutes before the game

The crowd gets pumped as they see us enter the court. Everyone wearing black and white for support. I see Rachel with a big poster that says my name. My dad is next to her cheering me on.

We start to warm up. I throw some hoops with James. Paul is talking to Coach.

"Okay! The game is about to start, so get your behinds down. Get ready to see a grand game of basketball!" the announcer exclaims.

I get the boys in a circle and give a speech.

"We are finally here. This is serious, not another game. You all are great players and guys. We have to play like never before. You see these people? They are here to see us win and beat their ass to the ground,"

"And we all can do this! Who are we!?" Paul yells.

"The Wolves and we will win!!"
