It was Sam, he was standing at a corner. The final and last game begin. Alpha vs Omega high school.
They started and alpha score a three point. They were good at dribbling and get the ball. Settle down, christabel Sam kept saying in his mind. Alpha high was winning with 30 points. Second round finish, and so did the third. Alpha was leading with 40. Remember christabel what you learn now should be used at the final round. This will pressure your opponent, and they will lose their ground. Sam said, when he was teaching the girls team. The fourth round started. Christabel hit the nest with a three point. Alpha high had their mouths wide open. Don't worry, their captain said, she is the only one that can earn points. Mark her, she gave the hand signal. They pointed all focus on her. To their greatest shock, another person score. The crowds were not enjoying the game before. But now it has become all noising. The point gap close quickly. Alpha high lost balance. Two minutes to go and alpha high was winning with one point. They attack fearless and got themselves a foul. A minute left on the time board. Charge in, christabel yelled at her teammates. They arrange themselves properly covering, christabel who was running towards their nest. Sonia was with the ball. Thirty seconds left. Sonia lift ball. Alpha high already got their eyes on christabel. She has fallen to their trap. Sonia lift the ball flying for a three point. The crowd went silent. The captain of alpha high watches the ball as it flies pass them. They were misled by christabel. They all bow their head down. We have lost thought came up. The ball bounce on top of the nest but fall out, before they could react christabel was already on high for the rebound. Which she did successfully score them a 2 point. wow, the crowd screamed. They have won. We won, they gather. Nice shot Sonia. Just as you plan, she said to christabel.
Omega high School took their medals and the trophy. Mr. Carlos and Mrs Sarah hug each with joy. Christabel tried to find Sam, but he wasn't there. Marcel too. Where could they have gone, she wondered. Christabel got home. Her dad hailed her. "My champion" he said. Her mom was there too. They hug her, they burst into laughter for nothing noticeable. Marcel shows up on the scene. Christabel he said. The family turns in his direction. Christabel got released. She and Marcel walk for a while. They finally turn to each other.
