Beckett Butler

Chapter 2- Basketball

Mom made chicken enchiladas for dinner.

"Beckett, would you like to give the prayer?" Mom asked.

"Sure." I said as everyone folded their arms. I tilted my head down and closed my eyes, along with the rest of the family.

"Thank you Heavenly Father for everything we have. Our family, all the Butlers and the Crofts. For every blessing we have in our family. And that everyone is happy and healthy." I said.

"Amen!" Everyone said together. Dad pulled out the camera.

"Thanks TitanTard for that prayer. Look what Mommytard made for dinner! Chicken enchiladas!" Dad said. I smiled.

After dinner, Emmi ran to get her dessert mom and her made.

"CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!" Brock yelled.

After dinner we watched a movie and the little kids went to bed. That left Gavin, Logan and I.

"Hey, Gavin, why don't you get us some chips?" Logan asked Gavin.

"Fine." Gavin said and went to grab a bag of chips.

We watched some tv and ate some chips and then dad came down.

"Beckett, Gavin, bedtime." Dad said.

Gavin and I shared a room. Brock used to be in the room too, but then he moved in with Daxton.

I climbed up to the top bunk. I fell asleep pretty quickly.

-------------2 Days Later----------------

My iPhone alarm went off at 6:00. I got up and went to mine and Gavins bathroom. I got in the shower.

When I was done, I got dressed into some jeans and a t-shirt. I went to the kitchen and mom was making my lunch.

I grabbed some Fruit Loops and sat at the Breakfast Nook. I went to brush my teeth.

"You ready Beckett?" Dad called from the front door.

"Yup! Coming!" I said grabbing my bag. I jogged to the door.

"Bye Mom!" I said.

I went outside and got in Dads truck. Dad drives me to school and Mom takes the other kids.

I am in middle school. As I said earlier, I'm in grade 8.

"See ya later dad. Love you." I said getting out.

"Bye Beck! Love you too." Dad said.

I jogged to the door. My best friend Isaiah met me at the door.

"Beckett, big news. Lillian, Joseph... Over!" Isaiah said.

"Isaiah, that is music to my ears." I said. Lillian is the prettiest girl in school. I plan to go out with her.

I'm not going to lie, I probably am one of the coolest guys in school.

I walked over to my locker. The bell rang so I got my stuff for 1st period. History. Ugh.

I went to homeroom. Isaiah is in all of my classes. Everyone in my home room is in all of my classes. That means Lillian is in all my classes. The morning announcements came on.

"Boys Basketball team tryouts today after school." The Principal said. Yes! I'm going to try out for basketball.

4 periods later, it was lunch. Isaiah and I sat at the cool table. We have our own spots. After we ate, everyone went outside.

I pulled out my phone and called dad. He said he would pick me up.

Isaiah and I jogged to the football field. We threw Isaiah's football. Logan taught me how to throw a perfect spiral. The girls love it. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lillian and her two best friends, Jessa and Callie.

"Hey Lillian!" I said throwing the ball and turning to her.

"Hey Beckett! How's it goin?" Lillian asked. Isaiah came over to me.

"Good. I heard about you and Joseph. You doing ok?" I asked her. My plan was to become her friend, then make a move.

"I'm fine. I saw the one take Sunday yesterday! You and Logan wrestling! You guys are hilarious." Lillian laughed. Dad does Monday to Friday and Sunday vlogs.

"I try!" I smiled. "But Hey! If you ever need to talk, I'm here." I said.

"Thanks Beckett! I'm glad I have a friend like you!" Lillian smiled.

"Hey, I'm always here! Hey Jessa, how is Benny?" I asked. Benny is Brocks friend.

"He's good." Jessa answered as the bell rang.

We went back into school and went to 5th period. After 6th period it was time to go home. Basketball.

Isaiah and I got our gym clothes and jogged down to the gym. Coach Nelson threw us each a ball. I shot 5 hoops and swished all of them. Then Coach called us over.

He split us into teams and we scrimmaged. By the end of the game it was time to change and go home. I ran up to my locker and grabbed my bag. I went down to the front foyer.
