The boy I Will Never Forget

Chapter 4: She Wants War

It was the big day, the first game back from a year out. I was excited, but at the same time I felt kinda weird cause the team I'm playing against today is the school Jason seems to go to. Yea, I know he is literally everywhere I don't want him to be. I was still excited about my game though. Just as I left my house and started my car, I remembered i forgot my knee pads. So I went up to go get them and just as I was about to go in I heard something, or someone inside. It couldn't be Rachel cause she's already on the court. My heart was pounding again, I thought the worst. I was being robbed, someone was waiting inside to kill me, something is going to happen. The worst part about all of this was, I left my phone in the car. After a while of me standing at my door panicking and not knowing what to do, I hear a loud crash, like a window breaking. Then there was a deep silence inside, so I went to go take a peek to see if the cost was clear, and you will never believe was I was seeing. My house was wrecked! Everything broken my walls were painted, my kitchen was wrecked, my bathroom was flooding, and my bed sheets were ripped. I wasn't really worried about my place right now, I just went to go get my knee pads. As I lifted them a note was under it. I opened it and it was a "To Get List", it consisted of 4 things. " A knife, a wrench, Oil and a flashlight, which was the only odd thing to me. I put the note in my pocket and locked my place ignoring the wreck it was and ran down to my car to get the the court before the game started. As I drove, everything was going through my mind, I thought this girl was coming out to get rid of me for no reason! I really didn't want to throw my mind off before my game. So I get there and run inside because I was already late for warm ups, and just as I walk in, I slip! Right in front of everyone, and you won't believe what it was... oil....OIL! It's her I just know it! Nobody else has harassed me since then. Rachel came up to me and helped me clean up, luckily I had no oil on my uniform, it was only on my legs. So I stepped on court to warm up and I was feeling a bit weird because, I felt like someone was watching me. I just ignored it, cause at the moment this game was really important to me. The game was about to start and I took a peek at the players cause I was late for salute and I didn't get to see them. I was looking and they were all players who looked easy to play against, but once I saw who was there libero, my heart dropped. It was in fact, her... that rat who is trying to ruin my life, and now she's coming after my sport. i finally took a glimpse at her name, Grace... number 3 to the Charles High School Volleyball Team. She was benched on the first set so I was fine and even if she wasn't I was going to play better than ever. It was the end of the first set and we were victorious, Hopkins 1, Charles 0. I was feeling confident, now that she is stepping on court I will help my team carry our school to victory. As we were huddled I look over my coaches shoulder and I see Jason and Grace hugging, I felt a bit down but then he looked at me and smiled, and mimicked the words, "good luck". I smiled back and got onto the court feeling better than ever, as if nothing was happening. The game was pretty intense, she had good defense but mine was better. Jason would look at me many times and give me a thumbs up. It was the final point for our victory, 24 Hopkins, 23 Charles. Just as I blocked the ball went over it and I stepped on someone's foot and sprained my ankle. I was in excruciating pain, the game had to be stopped. In a blink of an eye everyone was surrounding me and telling me to get off court, I refused. I wasn't giving up, I got up and of course Grace was smiling, this is exactly what she wanted. I got back into game and I made the same play we were going for before I sprained my ankle. Setting it closely to the net for my middle player to hit it. We got blocked but it rolled off  the side of the net and everyone was nervous, on who's side will it land on, will we make it. Just as I thought it was going on our side it rolled over and BOOM! HOPKINS IS VICTORIOUS! This was the best thing that happened! While we were celebrating I saw Grace crying in front of Jason, and Jason left and began to walk my way. And you can guess it, Grace grabbed him and took him from my way. I didn't mind much this time, I was just happy we won.
