The Forgotten Crest
Chapter 1 The Challenge
"MUM!! Hurry up or we're going to be late for the basketball game!" I yelled at mum who was in the shower.
"I'm nearly finished Jay!" she shouted back. Yep that's me, Jay Tamachi; I'm just a normal 13-year-old girl with maroony red hair and bright blue eyes. Today I'm going to a play in a basketball match against one of the 'hottest' guys in my year level, T.K. (well that's what my friends think) They reckon that we'd be 'perfect' for each other seeing as he's the captain of the boy's basketball team and I'm the captain of mine. My team and I are playing against the boy's team; it's like a playoff to see if the boys are better at basketball than the girls. Well we'll show them who's better and who's not, T.K hasn't seen what I can do, ha, well this will be one heck of a match.
"Mum have you seen my jersey?" I asked her. My team plays in red and white jerseys, they're cool.
"No but Jessie-Lee might have!" She shouted. Jessie-Lee's my 6-year-old annoying little sister; she has cute brown curls and sweet innocent green eyes. She can be so cute sometimes, but when you get her mad, just watch those arms go, be sure to keep your eyes on her legs as well or you might find your self gasping for air on the ground from a well aimed kick in the stomach. Geez she's strong for her age.
So I walked around our large apartment, I finally found her playing some game on my mum's computer.
"Hey Jess do you know where my jersey is?"
"Mmm…" she muttered, her eyes transfixed on the computer screen.
"Jessie?!" I said a lot louder, it takes a lot to get her away from the computer screen.
"What?" She snapped angrily. I took a quick step backwards.
"Uh…I was just wondering where my jersey is, because I can't find it?" I said softly, ready to take another step back incase she started punching.
"Oh, it's in your room under your computer table," She said a lot calmer.
"Phew, thanks Jessie." I sighed; glad she didn't slash at me like a tiger.
Hey wait a second how does she know it's in my room; she's not even supposed to go in it, ugh, she must have been snooping around again. Oh well at least I know where my jersey is.
I walked into my room the first thing I noticed was that the school photo that was on my desk was gone. I turned around to go have a word with Jessie-Lee, what am I saying, to yell at Jessie-Lee, but she was standing at the door.
"You've got a boyfriend, you've got a boyfriend!" She chanted at the top of her lungs, the school photo clutched in her hand.
"Give that back!" I yelled at her, she ran straight out of the room. I darted after her, me being a lot faster than her, caught up quickly. I grabbed her around the waist then wrenched the photo out of her hand. I let her go and she ran off singing "Jay's got a boyfriend!"
Gee I wonder why she's saying that I've got a boyfriend, I than put the photo up to my face, the answer was written on the photo, one of my friends had drawn a big love heart around T.K's face.
I went back into my room and put the photo into a draw on my desk.
"Jay hurry up we're leaving!" my mum yelled from the lounge room. I scrambled under my computer desk and picked up my jersey, something fell out of it clattering on the floor. I picked it up; it fitted perfectly in my hand. The device had was dark blue, it looked kind of like one of those little hand held computers. Suddenly it beeped, it startled me, and I hit my head on the computer table.
"Oww!" I moaned as I rubbed the back of my head. Geez what is this thing?
"Hurry up Jay!" my mother, yelled again. Oh well I'll find out later, so I put the gadget into my pocket and hurried out to meet her. We drove to the stadium in our new snazzy little convertible, it's neat, I love it.
*****
When we got there my teammates were already in the change room, so I sprinted inside. CRASH! I ran head long into someone and then fell on the ground; I heard a loud clatter as something else fell to the ground.
"Sorry, I didn't see y…" I started but then I noticed who it was, it was T.K, my face began to turn hot.
"Hey Jay you dropped somethi…" T.K fell silent. What's wrong why did he stop talking?
He bent over and picked up the blue thingamajingy that I found earlier, then straightened.
"Where did you get this?" he asked as he put his hand into his pocket.
"I found it in my room." I said. Suddenly he pulled out another one out of his pocket, but it was green. "What, you've got one too?" I asked, as I stared at the two things in his hands.
Suddenly the buzzer went, to tell us that we have five minutes.
"You better get changed." He told me, as he gave back the thingamajingy; suddenly I realized that I wasn't in my jersey.
"Yeah, well…uh…bye." I hurried off to the change room; I changed into my jersey silently, still thinking about the way he looked at the blue thingy, "Oh well, I'll find out later." I said to myself once again.
I hurried out to the court where they were nearly ready to play. We assembled ourselves on the court; me being the tallest stood inside the ring in the middle of the court. The other team also took their places around the ring; T.K was the one who was doing the jump ball with me.
Just great he has to be taller than me doesn't he, I thought bitterly.
The whistle blew and the Ref threw the ball into the air, I jumped as high as I could and I hit the ball to Kelly she raced up the court, beep the whistle blew again, one of the boys fouled her. She stood on the sideline ready to throw it in.
T.K was marking me closely; damn I wish he'd go away.
I then raced into an open place and Kelly did a quick chest pass to me. I turned around and T.K was there so I tried to bounce pass it to Mel but he grabbed it quickly and dribbled it down the sideline of the court, I ran right beside him making it hard for him to move so he did an over the head pass. But I intercepted it in mid air and passed it to Kathie, she passed it to Kate who was right under the ring, she took a shot, and she scored. Two nil to us.
"Woohoo!" I shouted as Kathie high fived me.
"Don't celebrate yet, we're just warming up." T.K. grinned.
"Ha, well so are we, you ain't seen nothin' yet!" I retorted.
The game went on, after five minutes we were beating them 6 to 4, two well-aimed shots by yours truly, one a three pointer and one a free shot.
"So when are you going to be warmed up?" I scoffed.
A sly grin spread across his face and didn't answer.
I'll show him.
After a while the Buzzer went to tell us it was half time. The score was 10 all.
"Now Jay you've done really good, but I've noticed you're getting a bit tired so I'm going to take you off for awhile…" Said the Coach.
"But coach I'm not that tired, really." I complained.
"We need you on later so just cool off for a few minutes, Emma take her place." He barked, Emma is another player, she's my best friend, and we've been friends ever since we were little kids. "Kristine you take Mel's place." The coach hollered.
The Buzzer went again to tell us to start playing.
Great now I'm stuck on the bench for a while, but I suppose the coach is right I do feel a bit puffed. T.K was already taken off the court so there's no a real threat of me coming off since he's the best player on his team and plus Kelly's on there and she's a good player probably better than me, and she's only new on the team.
I watched how Emma scored another basket. Making the score 12/10. I relaxed for a little while and took a sip out of my water bottle; after five minutes passed, I looked over to the opposing teams bench T.K was getting ready to go back on. I spat out some of my water, and then looked at my coach, about to ask him if I can go back on but he shook his head. I looked back at the game T.K was now subbing on. Damn, if wish I could go back on. I sat with my arms crossed and watched the game.
Emma had just got the ball and tried to pass it to Kristine, but T.K intercepted the ball and shot up the other end; Gee he's fast. Then he did a chest pass to Mitchell; he's got a strong pass. Then Mitchell took a shot and scored.
"Coach can I please go back on, I've had enough rest?" I pleaded.
"Fine then, swap with Kate and Mel swap with Kathie we might as well do all the subbing at once." He allowed.
"Yes!" I exclaimed, and then I got up and called to the Ref for a sub.
Yeah, I'm back on the court where I belong.
I ran up to T.K and started marking him.
"We meet again." He said.
"Yes indeed, you up for the challenge?" I smirked.
"Uh huh." He nodded determinedly.
Now I'm back in the action, Emma had the ball I ran into an open space and she passed me the ball, I turned around to find T.K in my face I dodged him and then darted up the court. I passed it to Mel; I ran up closer to the basket, she passed it back to me, I took a shot and I scored.
"Yeah!" I shouted and I threw my fist into the air. We were back in the lead with 14 points to 12.
Over the next half my team scored twice and T.K's team scored three times, we're exactly the same and there was only one minute left in the game, and I got fouled while shooting, so I got two free shots. These shots were the deciders if we won or if we came a tie.
An eerie silence filled the stadium, as I got ready to shoot, my heart was pounding really fast, I twisted the ball in my hands; then took two deep breaths, I shoot…it missed. I got the ball again, suddenly as I was about to shoot a loud sneeze pierced the creepy silence, I nearly lost my balance but I didn't let go of the ball, I regained my balance. I took a shot, and then I scored.
"Yeah we won!" I yelled over the top of all the shouting, my teammates came over and patted me on the back, all-yelling with joy.
"We won 19 points to 18!" I howled.
We shook all the other team's hands, and then I came to T.K.
"Great game T.K!" I exclaimed, as I shook his hand.
"Yeah, it was." T.K replied.
"Hey T.J. you lost against a girls team!" exclaimed a boy with goggles on as he came over from the stands.
"Can't you spell T.K yet Davis?" T.K asked him. So his name must be Davis.
"Hey T.A, how do you know Jay?" Davis asked T.K, just noticing that I'm standing there.
"She's in my class." Said T.K.
"Davis, how do you know my name?" I asked him, curiously.
"You're like, one of the most popular people in our grade, like me unlike T.P here." He said, knowingly.
"Gee, funny I haven't heard of you before." I retorted tartly.
Gee he's starting to get on my nerves.
"She's got you there," laughed T.K.
"Be quiet T.C, well then if you've never heard of me before how do you know that my names Davis?" He barked, proud of his come back.
"No duh, T.K. said it before!" I huffed.
"Ugh, well at least I'm better at soccer then you!" He shouted.
"Prove it." I said calmly, with my arms crossed.
"Fine then, tomorrow after school at the soccer field. You and a goalie, be there or be square." He challenged.
"Bring it on!" I snarled.
It looked like we could start throwing daggers at any second.
"Hey cool it you two." Said T.K.
"Hey Jay, hurry up, we're going for Mac'as! (McDonald's)" Shouted Emma from the bench.
"I'm coming!" I hollered, "Well it was a 'pleasure' meeting you Davis, See-ya T.K." I ran to the change room. Then I got changed back into my dark blue top with a jagged bottom edge, black 3-quarter length pants also with jagged edges, black bandana and blue gloves with the tips cut off. I put my dirty clothes in my bag where I found that blue thingy; I put it in my pocket, and then threw my bag over my shoulder and head out the door.
As I was about to get into my car T.K came up behind me and said, "Hey Jay after you go to McDonalds can you meet me at Kari's place? We need to talk."
"What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked him looking quizzical.
"Well…uh," His eyes darted towards my waiting mother, "About that 'Math's' assignment we have to do." He said.
"What math's assignment?" I blurted.
"You know the one we talked about just before the match." He urged, eyebrows raised indicatively…as if he didn't want to talk about it in front of my mother.
"Oh that math's assignment, okay where is Kari's place?" I asked T.K.
"It's 3 building south of yours." He explained.
"Yep I know the place," I replied.
"It's no. 32 okay? Well I'll see you there." He said as he walked off.
Hmm, I wonder what he really wants to talk to me about, because I know for a fact that we don't have a math's assignment. Oh well, I'll find out later, Geez I'm thinking that a lot lately.
I then hopped in my car.
"What math's assignment?" My mother questioned me.
"Oh, it's just one that we have to do in class, that's all." I answered.
"Isn't he the one you played basketball against?" she asked.
"Yep, we kicked their butts." I chirped happily as we drove away.
The trip to McDonald's was very enjoyable, I told mum just to go home and that I can walk to Kari's house because it's not that far away.
So when everybody left I headed over to Kari's. When I finally got to no. 32 I knocked on the door, I waited for a little while. Then the door opened and T.K appeared.
"Hello," I said happily, "So what did you want talk to me about?"
"Come inside, I what you to meet a few people." He steered me inside ignoring my question, then into another room, that looked like Kari's bedroom.
"T.K why did you call us all here, we have other things to do you know." Complained a tall blonde sitting on a chair next to the computer, who looked a lot like the singer Matt. Then I realized that it was him.
"Who are these people?" I asked T.K quietly.
"This is my brother Matt," He pointed at the blonde, "This is Tai, Kari's brother. Izzy, Sora, Joe, Yolie, Cody, Ken and you already know Davis. Everybody this is Jay."
"It's nice meeting you Jay, T.K enough with the introductions, why did you call has all here? When you called you sounded urgent?" Asked Tai.
"Show him you digi-vice." T.K asked me.

Scene 1
Director: "And, action."
So I walked around our large apartment, I finally found her playing some game on my mum's computer.
"Hey Jess do you know where my jersey is?"
"Mmm…" she muttered, her eyes transfixed on the computer screen.
"Jessie?!" I said a lot louder, it takes a lot to get her away from the computer screen.
"Get into that pokeball…" she muttered.
"Jessie-Lee!!" I almost screamed.
"Damn it, Jay you just made me miss catching a Pikachu."
Director: "Cut, are you actually playing that game?"
Jessie-Lee: "Well I don't get to play it any other time."
