"Being shy and out of the picture helps a lot." I say.
"That was good!!! Have you ever played basketball?" Jacob said.
"Not on a team, only by myself. I shoot a little sometimes. I'm not that good tho."
"Oh cool!" he says, thinking about the game. The bell rings, all the guys run out of the locker room. The coach is last.
"You coming kid? You can sit with the team." Coach said.
"Sure!?!?" I say lacking in self confidence. Then I run after the team with the coach. I sit behind the coach, Jacob sees me and nodes up. I see him do that and wave back. The game starts again and I zone out. My eyes start hurting a little, I reach into my coat pocket for my glasses. I slip my glasses on I looked a little nerdy.
...........................................................................................................
Well the rest of the game I helped the coach out, and look at Jacob occasionally. In the end the team won the game.
........................................................................................................
The team wins with the last bucket. I jump up with the rest of the crowd. The team did there stuff like all them run out and jump around. I walk with my glasses still on.
"Hey Lance!!!! Come here." There was that voice again.
I turn around, and push my glasses up. "Why you guys won the game?" I said walking to them.
"Not without your help we would have lost." He said. "Why don't you come to the victory party? Its at my house in half a hour."
"Ok, but I don't know where you live."
"Do you have a phone?" He asked. I pull mine phone out and give it to him unlocking it first. "Well here is my number, I will text you my address as soon as I get in the locker room."
"Ok" I get my phone back and look what he send to himself. 'Hey u know who i am ;)' I watch the guys go back into the locker room. I get a text from Jacob. 'I know you nerd ;)' I blush a little.
'Oh is your house far away mine isn't so i walked hear I might need a ride.'
'No not far I walked also maybe we could walk together.'
'sure if you want??"
'wait for me out by the locker room;)'
'K'
I wait out the locker room, it was about five minutes till he came out. "Well what is with the glasses new kid?"
"I don't like them on me I look rediculuce." I say blushing just a little.
"They look good on you kid. Now we sould get going." He said with a grin on that face.
We walk to his house. "Hey my house is on the other side of your back yard." I say
"Cool." he says walking a little closer to me. we walk up to his house.
"Hey who is you friend?" Jacob's mom ask.
"This is Lance, with out him we would have lost the game today." Jacob said.
"Well see you guys later." His mom says. She gets in her car and drives off.
