He ask me if I wanted to play for his team and I said no right away. I ran away from him and accidentally tripped and fell face first into a puddle of mud. I experienced mud tasting for the first time, so I immediately ran home to take a shower. The person I didn't want to see saw me right when I opened the door to the house, Opal busted out laughing causing me to be more embarra.s.sed.

When I was done showing I headed to bed tired.Nothing really happened for the rest of the months till the end of November when try outs for the middle school basketball team. I was so excited and met alot of people there. During try outs they made us run suicides to see if we can last long on the court during games which with my endurance skill it was a walk in the park for me.

Then they tested us on our pa.s.ses which I was ok in it since I played the point in my previous life and was more of a pa.s.ser than a scorer. Next was shooting which I dominated since I couldn't miss a single shot even when I tried to miss. After training my strength these past weeks I was able to shoot from almost everywhere. Everyone there was shocked a middle schooler could score like that. Coach automatically told me I'm starting for him as a point guard and I told him I'll play shooting guard or play for a different team.

He got scared and said "thats ok you can play any position you want". He asked me if I wanted to be the captain and I said no thank you. I don't need that stress of setting up plays because all I want to do is shoot the ball. We finished the try out successfully and I went home to tell my family the good news. My sister Opal didn't care much and my mother just smiled and said good job.

It seemed like they still didn't take me all that serious which I didn't mind time will tell when I prove them wrong. I wish I had a system so I could get it to do my homework because I had alot to do that night.Next day after school we had our first team practice. Coach was called K, point guard was Darrel, me at the shooting guard, Tom was small forward, Hack was power forward and Momba was our center.

Our team was called Bob Cats which I thought was pretty lame but what can I do about it. We had a bench but I honestly couldn't remember their names so I called them by numbers 1 for pg, 2 for sg and so on hopefully you get the point. Coach K had us play a game against the bench to see how well we play together. We started the game with momba winning the jump ball and pa.s.sing it to Darrel to run the point.

I quickly faked out #2 and got open behind the three point line and asked for the ball but Darrel ignores me and starts dribbling the ball like a mad man and trying to show off some skills. #1 quickly steals the ball from him and runs to the other end with great speed and makes the layup. Now they got the first point because this idiot decided to show off.

Tom gets the inbound and pa.s.ses to me instead of Darrel because of the dumb play he had just made. I dribble to the half court and just take the shot from there because no one was near me and I make it. The whole gym got shocked even Coach K was smiling like SpongeBob at this point. I tell Darrel to pa.s.s it to me next time I ask for it or when I'm open and he simply said "yes sir".

After telling Darrel off we start to get into a smooth rotation of score and defend. Momba was good at defending and scoring in the post due to his height sitting at 6'4 the tallest person I've seen since coming back to this time. #2 started defending me hard even from the half court line because I made a couple more shoots from there.

We won the game by a landslide thanks to my shots and the bench team didn't even look down but got excited at the thought of being on the same team as me and winning the cup for the season. Coach K called me over after the game and asked me if I wanted to replace anyone from the starting line up with the bench and I told him lets have our first game and see first how the starters will do before making that decision and told him to get ready for this season because all we gonna do is win win win.
