After school, on Friday, Jack and Lyle were playing basketball with their friends when a group of 12-year-old students walked towards them. Their leader, Maximus was the son of the ambassador from Country Z.
The twins had met him before when they attended his birthday party. Every now and then, their grandmother would force them to go for the birthday parties that were organized by the ambassadors or the rest of the upper echelon that she thought would benefit them.
"Oh, it's you guys…"
"What do you want, Maximus?" asked Lyle before he passed the ball to his brother.
"We want to use the court. You guys should go back to class."
"We booked the court until 6 p.m. If you want, you can play later."
Maximus sneered and with a finger, he poked Lyle's chest, "I want to play now..and I hate sharing with kids…"
"It's too bad for you. We booked it first," said Jack.
"How about this? 2 v 2. 15 points. Winners take the court," said Maximus.
