The big day came- the day where I had to play basketball in front of the entire school. Hopefully, they had something better to do than watching this boring game.

I was already at the court to warm myself up. Coach Morison always talked like this.

"So, you guys have to win!" "You'll make your school proud if you win." In a very weird accent, I don't know where he was originally from. I was really nervous until my friends showed up. Jake never actually talked to me but he showed up in sports wear. Of course they made a sign for me, which Emmet was holding.

'I wanna see you sweat, Edwardo!'

Coach Morison told us to go to our positions. I don't know why he came to the idea but I had the 'Edward has to stand in the middle of the field so he can run like a thirsty motherfucker'- position. It was 3pm and almost 100 degrees. I was sweating even though I just stood for 5 minutes. The coach whistled and the game began. All I did was to just run around so it looked like I was into the game. I could hear Bella and Emmett shouting my name. To not diasppoint them someone handeled me the ball. I ran forward to the basket, dribbled the ball and throw- it didn't went into the basket, but I tried. I ran back to my position, to help , to get another chance. Firstly, without success. I got the ball, dribbled it until someone pushed it away from me. Of course I tried to get the ball back but this one guy always touched me to keep me away from it. And I got really angry about this. The next time we were both running to the ball, I just moved my hands like an idiot and fortunately, I got him. I ran again to the basket, jumped and the ball landed in the basket. "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", was all I could here. Someone of my team hit my shoulder and Coach Morison shouted: "GOOD, CULLEN!"

I was proud of myslef. All this time where I practised, I was so bad but now at the game I finally got it. I ran back to my position and sweated even more. Sometimes I thought that I couldn't stand straight anymore. In my mind I called the annyoing guy, yeah just the annyoing guy. He always covered me even though, I stood in the wrong corner.

The next time I had the ball, we ran almost outside of the court- outside enough to trip over shoes from the viewers...because that's exactly what happened to me. I ran really fast so that no one could steal the ball from me but some jerk of viewer let me trip over his stupid feet and I hit my chin on the ground. But that's not all. After I fell down, I fell some meters further over the ground. My chin hurted like shit and I thought that my neck could be broken. Paramedics helped me and covered my bleeding chin with a band aid.

"It's just a graze. A big graze, but it could have been worse."

"I know.", I said. Talking wasn't good, it hurted.

I couldn't play anymore, so I went over to my friends, very careful not to trip again over something. I knew exactly how these shoes looked like.

Everyone was looking at me while I made it thorugh the crowds. I bet they thought that I was a huge faggot. I just wanted to impress my friends and I completely failed because I tripped over someone's feet. But this someone let me trip, I was completely sure about that.

"Hey, you were good.", Angela said and hugged me. They all patted my back and said that they were proud. I looked around. "Jake is playing for you.", Bella said. I emediately looked at his shoes- red. The shoes I tripped over were green and black.

"I hope he is better than me."

"C'mon, Edwardo..bro! That was good, we are proud.", Emmett said.

He called me bro. I smiled.

"Does it hurt?", Rose asked me.

"Uhm...yes. It burns."

"Put ice cubes on this later and also on your hands."

I looked at the band aids on my hands, on both hands.

"I can't even hold a book anymore, my life is so exciting.", I sighed.

"Let's go to the tree again, tonight.", Bella said and looked at me. I nodded.

We asked some more to come with us but at the end it was just me, Bella and Maddie. I hoped that the beer would take away the pain from my grazes. Accidently, I hit my chin against Bellas shoulder as she hugged me because she was kinda drunk.

"I have to do so much for my exams. Can't believe they start next week. Hey, let's learn together!" This took her a while to say.

"Ok, that's cool.", I just said.

"Maddie say something, all you do, is staring at one point.", Bella said. He took a deep breath.

"Bella, you knew that I was in a relationship?"

"Was? ...What happened?" She looked so cute when she was wasted. At this moment I had the strange urge to kiss her, just to be near.

"She broke up with me, ON THE PHONE!" He shouted the last one.

We winced because he shouted, stood up and started to hit the tree.

"Over the phone! She just told me that she loved another guy. 4 years for nothing." He still hit the tree.

Then he sat down again between me and Bella. I actually didn't really listened to him, all I felt was Bella's hands, as they grabbed my arm because she was afraid while he shouted.

"I'm sorry, Mad, come here." She hugged him and he started to cry.

This.

This is reall friendship. We all care about each other, we want to help others. How different this situation was than in Forks.

I patted his back.

"I know that I'm crying and that I am drunk but I love you guys." Then he cried again.

"We love you,too, man."
