WILL POV—

The rest of the game, I was on fire. I had 4 blocks, 5 steals, and more than 30 points. I took my anger towards Andre and used it as energy for the game. The game ended, with us winning because of me of course.

We all rushed into the locker room to celebrate our win. The first thing I wanted to do was find Leah, but the gym was so packed that I didn't see her, before we came into the locker room.

"Everybody take a knee." Coach said.

We all took a knee to listen to coach as he prepared a speech.

"That was a great game out there. All of you put in so much work at practice and it paid off. Everybody contributed to this win, but one of you in particular put in extra work tonight." Coach said, looking at me.

Brayden patted me on my back.

"Will, you were great tonight. You weren't selfish and you took charge of great opportunities, allowing you to score. Come over, here." Coach said, pointing next to him.

I got up and stood next to Coach.

"You showed great athleticism tonight and I hope this will show the rest of your teammates what hard work does."

"Thanks coach, but if it wasn't for my team, I would've never had some of the opportunities we had tonight. We all did this together!" I shouted.

The locker room exploded with cheers and laughter from the team as we celebrated the win.

"Everyone quiet down!" Coach yelled.

"Even though it was a team win, I would like to give you the game ball Will for your great performance." Coach said, handing me the ball.

"Thanks, coach this means a lot."

"For Liberty!" I shouted, holding the ball in the air.

"For Liberty!" The team yelled in unison.

"Where's Andre?" Coach asked.

Too busy celebrating, I didn't even realize he wasn't in the locker room.

"He went to the nurse to check on his nose." One of Andre's friends said.

"I forgot he hurt his nose during halftime. How did he do that again?" Coach asked.

"He tripped and fell!" Brayden shouted out.

"Yeah, that's right. I hope it's not broken. Now, guys pack up and let's go home." Coach said, walking towards the door.

I started packing my stuff up quick like and in a hurry.

"Why are you rushing? We just won!" Brayden said, excitedly.

"I know, but what if Andre tries some slick shit with Leah?" I questioned, stuffing my clothes in my gym bag.

"He's at the nurse and she's probably surrounded by her friends." Brayden said.

"You're probably right, but I still want to make sure. Plus, I want to show her the game ball. She'll love it." I said, cheesing.

"Well, do you need a ride home or something?" Brayden asked.

"No, I'll catch one with Leah, thanks though." I said, dabbing Brayden up, before he walked off.

I put all of my belongings in my bag, grabbed my ball, and went out the door. I couldn't wait to show Leah.
