Chapter 3
"Logan returned from his date with Ephram two hours after he was supposed to be home."
Logan walked into the living room to see Emily waiting for him.
"Do you know what time it is?" Emily asked.
"11:00," Logan said.
"You were supposed to be home by 9:00," Emily said. "I'm going to have to ground you."
"Okay," Logan said.
"One week with no TV," Emily said.
"Okay," Logan said.
"And you will not be playing in Friday's game," Emily said.
"You're benching me?" Logan asked shocked.
"No," Emily said. "You're staying home. You're not even going to the game at all."
"The next day, Logan confronted Lainey."
"Thanks a lot!" Logan shouted. "I did what you said and now I'm not playing in Friday night's game!"
"That's not what was supposed to happen!" Lainey shouted. "You were just supposed to get grounded from TV!"
"This is my fault," Logan said. "It was my choice and I chose wrong."
"Stop being responsible!" Lainey shouted. "You're a teenager! Act like one!"
"You are such a bad influence," Logan said.
"Later that day, Coach Mellor paid Emily a visit at her house."
"Hey, Coach," Emily said as she opened the door.
"Hey, Female Coach," Coach Mellor said.
"Don't ever call me that again," Emily said.
"So Logan informed me that he will not be at the basketball game on Friday," Coach Mellor said. "He said you grounded him."
"He was past curfew," Emily said.
"But don't you think it's a little too harsh to ban him from the game?" Coach Mellor asked. "The whole team is counting on him."
"He should have thought of that before he was two hours late," Emily said.
"He's our star basketball player," Coach Mellor said.
"Well, your star player is grounded," Emily said. "Goodbye."
Emily then slammed the door in Coach Mellor's face.
