My manager is upset because I have been skipping work for training. -This week is when I prove myself to me to my parents to my friends to the world. Our rivals who strut around in expensive sweat suits who pay for their private trainers who buy a new pair of $120 sneakers every week. The day has arrived. The entire school has showed up to watch our victory. I sink into the moment. Nothing else matters. This is our time. This is our game. The ball leaps into the air and I rocket up behind it.

-Training is the only priority right now. I can’t believe my teachers are giving me work when they know that the big game is this week. And I can think of no better finale than to play our rivals. Every week I drive by the city courts and watch them play on gravely asphalt. Their balls are worn their shoes are old their hoops have no nets. I ease into my seat of my Audi and relish in its comfort. The day has arrived. The entire school has showed up to watch our victory. I sink into the moment. Nothing else matters. This is our time. This is our game. The ball leaps into the air and I rocket up behind it.
