~Win Or Lose~

Slater's P.O.V.

10 minutes before the end of the second quarter, we need to do our best and shoot more than 30 balls to the ring. Our opponents are already slacking off, confident that they're going to win over us. I'm starting to get irritated because we all did our best in training but why can't we even shoot atleast 10 times a row?

"Captain! You can do it!" Some of our classmates came to support us eventhough it's Saturday, some cheerleaders also came but Irene and her sisters aren't here. By now, our opponent team let their weakest members enter the court, for sure they'll let them play until the fourth quarter. Our coach is alrealy getting stressed and so are our team members, we kept on switching for the past quarters bug now I think it'll only be a waste of time.

"You okay Slater?" Jared patted my back as he noticed me already having a hard time breathing, I crouched down as I rested my hands on my knees. Sweat already rolling down on our faces but were still determined to win.

"I'm fine" I uttered and stood up again, throughout the game, one of us keeps on getting blocked by a oponent's team member, and now they're planning to corner me.

"Don't take it too hard, we can win this game" Jared advised, he's making me positive. Atleast I should be. The game continued until we are now in the third quarter.

"What the heck man?! You're supposed to protect the ball!" Dean shouted at me as my 'bodyguard' from the opponent's team kept on guarding me and stealling the ball from although I know that he's making a foul, the referee didn't even noticed it.

"Dean, stop it!" Jared argued, everyone's head are already burning. They think we'll lose but I won't let that happen, we will win this game.

"It's fine" I uttered and pushed Jared a bit, Dean sat on the bleachers and let Dave enter the court. We kept on shooting the ball whenever we had the chance and now, it's already the fourt quarter. We only need to shoot 5 more to beat the opponent team.

"Do you want to rest?" By now, it's our last timeout for our team and we immediately drank our water to lessen the nervousness we feel.

"I'm not taking a rest until I can shoot even a single shot"

"Slater, don't get it on you" Everyone began to go to their position and got ready for the ball.

"I won't" The coach threw the ball all me in which I immediately dribbled it and aimed to throw it in the air, I can sense someone who kept on monitoring my move throughout the game and he still remained to guard me until now. He kept on blocking me or stealling the ball behind me, sometimes the coach didn't even noticed that he made a foul. But since he kept on blocking me, why not let him make a foul for free throw? Since we just need to shoot 5 more.

"Foul!" I saw their coach hiss and his team mates outraged, Jared smiled at me and nod his head. I need to shoot two free throws so one of us can shoot 3 points still, we only have 2 minutes to do that. Everyone yelled when my first free throw entered the ring, then another which made us feel nervous, the clock began to work again. Vincent got the ball and passed it to Jared, I kept on blocking the opponent but then I saw how Jared is trying hard to find a way to pass the ball, but all of us are blocking the opponents. Once he saw me, he gave me a signal that he'll be passing the ball to me, I nod my head as we changed position. Him already blocking the opponent and me already trying to shoot the ball.

"Slater!" I turned to my right and saw Irene with her sisters, she gave me a smile which made me enthusiastic. Atleast she's here to cheer me up, with one sigh, I threw the ball and made 3 points.

We won!
