"Phweeee" Mr. Morales blows the whistle.
The boys gather around him.
"Today, as I already said will be selecting players to represent the boys team.
"So, you all have 10 minutes to get yourselves ready.
Whiles the boy are getting themselves ready the selected girls begin their training.
The coach helps them to perfect their shooting skills, but as for Theresa she was good at it.
"Wow, I can see your shooting skills have improved from the previous time" Mia said.
"I can also see that" The coach added.
"Yeah, thanks to a friend of mine" Tesa replied shooting another ball.
"Oh okay" Mia said.
"Have you got some water" Tesa asks Annie.
"Yeah, it's in my sports bag" Annie replied.
"Okay" Tesa said heading to the bench on which the sports bag laid.
"Get me one water from my bag when you are Coming" Keira screamed.
"Okay" Tesa replied.
Removing the water from Annie's bag, Ronald scares her from the back.
Her heart pounds on hearing the scream.
"Gosh, you scared me" Tesa said rubbing her chest.
"Yeah, I know that" Ronald said leaning on the bench.
"Looks like you were late today"
"Yeah, I woke up late, because I was very tired after the party" Tesa said sipping the water.
"Oh okay"
"Aren't you guys having your selection today" Tesa asks taking out a bottle of water from Keira bag.
"Yeah, we do"
"Then what are you doing here, or you were not selected"
"Noo, we've been given 10 minutes to get ready"
"Ah okay"
"How about you guys" Ronald asks.
"For now, we've just been shooting" Tesa replies.
"Phweeeeeeeee"
"That's your coach calling you guys" Tesa said.
"Yeah, I'm leaving, we will talk later" Ronald said jogging to where they trained.
"Okay, good luck" Tesa said and waves.
Ronald turns to wave back at her.
"Woow, he looks so handsome" she said to herself blushing and smiling.
She comes back to herself.
"No, I can't start liking him, impossible" she shakes her head and assures herself whiles walking to her training center.
"So, divide yourselves into four teams with five players each".
Soon they were grouped as Mr. Morales said.
"Let's begin the match with the first two teams" Mr. Morales said blowing his whistle.
Ronald's team was made up of Ernest, Vayle the best basketball player team, Willie and Jessie.
It was a really tough match, but it didn't really matter which team lost, because Mr. Morales was watching our skills individually.
With perseverance they ended the match as a draw.
"Good work, let take a break then we'll continue with the second match.
"I'm really tired" Ernest said gulping the water.
"Same, at least it was a draw" Ronald replied.
Ginna and Annie were still practicing dribbling with the help of the coach, while Mia and Keira were shooting in turns.
"Here you go" Said Tesa giving Keira the bottled water.
"Thanks" Keira said.
"No worries" Tesa replies heading to Annie.
"Annie's dribbling was so cool" I thought.
She ended the dribble with a high jump and a shoot into the net.
"Woow, that's impressive" I said clapping and smiling.
"Yeah, what's up, I saw Ronald with you at the bench". Annie asks walking up to me.
"He was asking why I came late"
"Oh, okay" Annie replies sitting on the ground.
"Here I took one water for you" Tesa said giving Annie the water.
"Oh, thanks I'm really thirsty" she said.
Back to the match.
The second team started well. The two teams had player of equal skills; this match also ended with a draw.
Mr. Morales claps for them, the starts with his speech.
"I think you've all done so soo well, But, as you all know, not all of you will be able to represent the school in the competition, therefore the names I'm about to mention are those that will be participating in the competition. Vayle, Ronald, Ernest. Good luck to the rest of you and better luck next time".
You can take your leave, those selected should wait behind.
"I believe It's a privilege to be chosen to be a part of the team in the upcoming competition, I expect you to put in your all to make the competition a success, also I want to encourage you to come early tomorrow so we can have enough training before the competition on Friday".
"See you all tomorrow"
"See you" we responded.
Mr. Morales turns to take his leave while we pack the remaining training items.
"Phweeeee" the coach blew the whistle.
"Since it's already late and tomorrow is the last day before the competition, I want you guys to make it here early to start training before I come. Okay" he said.
"Yes, coach"! They bellowed.
And parted ways.
