Chapter 22- Finals
"Oh hurry up!" I called for Aaron.

Today is the final day. I am waiting for Aaron and we have five minutes to get to the court or our team will get disqualified. Why are we late? Aaron overslept and Lucas decided to let him sleep.

"Let's go!" He said coming out of the room and we broke into a run.

"Finally!" Coach sighed.

With that we got on the field against our rivals Westwood High. This game we had to give our best. As this was the finals, Lucas, Aaron, Katie and I will play all the four quarters. Only one other male player will keep changing.

"Pass!" I called as Lucas was blocked by a defender.

He passed to me, I dribbled across and passed back to Aaron who shot the ball into the basket. Bam! First score. The match continued and both the sides kept scoring.

By the final whistle, both the teams had equal scores of 32-32. We got two minutes extra but none of the teams could get an upper hand on the game. Well then, let's see what the ref has to say.

"Five penalty shoots each team! Choose your shooters!" Ref declared.

So our shooters were clear. Lucas, Aaron, Clarisse, Coary and I. We could not take Katie because she is our defender not shooter. First shoot was our turn so Coary stepped forward.

He took the shooting position and got a grip on the ball. Bending his knees to gain power, he shot the ball towards the basket. The ball hit the board instead of the basket and fell outside. The opposite team's came forward and shot the ball right inside!

Next came Clarisse. He got into the shooting stance and firmly held the ball. She tossed the ball but even this time, it didn't go in. Another girl from the opposite team came forward and even this time they scored. We were lagging behind by two.

Aaron was next. Getting into the stance I could see his body stiffen in tension. His hands trembled but he got a grip on them. He shot the ball and BASKET! The guy from the opposite team came but couldn't score.

Next from our side cane Lucas. He was confident as ever. His body was at ease and with no trouble he shot the ball into the basket. The girl from the opposite team failed once again. Our team cheered because now the opposite team and us were equal.

My heart raced twice the normal speed as I walked to the shooting position. It was my turn. I dribbled the ball on the floor and set my aim. Before shooting, I looked at coach.

'Wind speed' Coach mouthed.

I moved my aim after calculating the wind speed. With that final change, I shot the ball. At full speed, the ball collides with the center of the board causing it to bounce right back into the basket.

The last shot of the opposite team was being taken by their captain. He stood in the correct place and took the perfect air. Once he shot the ball, everything was in slow motion. The ball hit the ring and circled it. Slowly, it fell out!

"Yaaaaaaassyaysass!!!!!" Cheers erupted from all ends and players came forward to hug me.

"Let's go get the cup champ!" Coach said.

The officials came to us holding in hand the cup and vacation trip vouchers to India. I accepted the trophy and the entire team held it together. We raised the trophy in the air and cameras snapped our pictures.

"You did it Princess."

"No we did it."

"Will you promise me something?" Lucas asked.

"If you promise me something in return."

"Sure. You have to stop not eating properly."

"You have to patch up with Parker."

"Deal." Both of us said in one voice.

We carried the trophy to the bus while coach checked us all out. Well I was being carried too. Aaron said I had done too well and my feet shouldn't rest on the ground. I know it's cheesy. But blame Aaron, I'm just quoting him!

"Coach we have to party!" Lucas said bouncing in his seat next to Katie.

"Yes!!!!" Katie agreed. Real mature...

"Oh no no kids we have to get back before school beings." Coach said.

"Awww..." Everyone groaned.

The bus drove at a pretty good speed considering the fact that we were so many people in it. But I could hear the kids occasionally groan and sigh on the fact that coach wouldn't let us party.

"My treat from McD!" Coach announced and everyone rushed out as the bus stopped at McD. Coach chuckled.

"Come on lazy head." Aaron said dragging me along.

In McD I sat between Lucas and Aaron while Katie was in front of me. I ordered a burger but I really didn't wanna take in all those cheese and mayo calories.

"Forgot your promise already Princess?" Lucas whispered.

"Ughhhh... Fine!" I sighed and shoved the burger in my mouth munching grumpily.

"Someone's grumpyyyy...!!" Aaron sang and I sighed at the childishness while Lucas and Katie laughed.

"Party at mine tonight!" One of the guys yelled.

"Are we going?" Katie asked.

"Nawww... I'm not." I said. I was literally done with parties.

"I'm staying with Em." Aaron added.

"Let's hangout for movies then!" Katie suggested.

"Call Lucy and Ashley over too." Lucas added.

"Oh and Parker also. I'll get the movies." Aaron said.

"Food is on me." Lucas said.

"Okay then, my house is empty. I'll go see Ethan after school and then all of us can meet up at mine." I said and they all nodded.

"I'll come with you to see Ethan, maybe we'll have to discharge him out. You might need me." Aaron said.

"Sure, Ethan will be glad to see us there. Sometimes I think he likes you more than me." I giggled.

"Of course he does, I'm awesome!" Aaron cheered.

"Yea Lucy told us, awesome kisser." Katie said and Aaron blushed red.

This is the life I have longed for... Hope everything stays well.
