Chapter Ten: How It All Began
That night, when all the guys were starting to take their showers, Bob made sure to use up all the hot water in order to give Vince and Lawson a taste of their own medicine. Needless to say, once that water came on, the two rivals started screaming their heads off, hastily put their houserobes on, and ran outside in the warm summer air...only to run into Bob with a smirk on his face.
"You guys have a nice shower?" he asked them.
"M-man, are you c-crazy?" Lawson stuttered, still shivering from the icy blast.
"Yeah, you tryin' to give us pneumonia or somethin'?" Vince asked, who was shaking also.
"Maybe. Of course not, guys! Don't be stupid!" Bob told them. "Now, if you guys don't want to spend the rest of our camp experience having cold showers, you better tell me what the heck you guys' problem is, because I've had about enough of these pranks and junk."
Vince and Lawson gave sideway glares at each other, and finally they talked.
SEVERAL YEARS EARLIER
It was a nice fall day at Third Street Elementary. Kids were running around the playground playing tag, jumping rope, or just hanging out. Vince, who had just entered first grade along with his other friends, was looking for something to do. The other guys were busy playing foursquare, which he wasn't too fond of, so he had decided to seek other companionship for the moment.
He spotted a group of second graders who were playing a game of horse on the basketball court so he decided to check it out.
One of them, a kid in a maroon colored sweat jacket, noticed him and nudged the one wearing a blue baseball cap, who was obviously their "leader". (A/N: is it obvious where I'm going with this?)
"Well, well, well," the blue hatted kid smirked at him. "A lone first grader, daring to intrude on second grade territory."
"Uh, yeah, I was wondering if I could try shooting that ball," Vince said to them.
The blue hatted kid looked at the maroon jacket kid, who muttered, "Are you crazy? He's a first grader, he can't play with us!"
"Hello! All the more reason to play him! First graders are puny and ain't learned their knowledge yet, so that means we'll win!" the blue hatted kid explained.
He turned back to Vince. "You gotta name, first grader?"
"Vince LaSalle."
"Cool. I'm Lawson, and this my man Jocko. So, you think you can shoot the ball, huh?"
"Well, I could try," Vince stated, never having shot a basketball before.
Lawson gave Jocko a "what did I tell you?" wink before tossing the ball to Vince. "Well, there's a first time for everything." Yeah, he thought silently. A first time to be a loser!
Vince looked up at the high goal. Geez, it was taller than Miss Finster! He took a gulp closed his eyes and...SWOOSH! He opened his eyes to see the net swaying back and forth and the ball was bouncing away. Lawson and the other second graders had astounded looks on their faces.
"Wow!" Jocko breathed. "Did you see that? He made it on the first shot! And the only thing the ball touched was the net! That kid's a athletic prodigy!!"
By now, almost every kid on the playground was surrounding them all, giving cheers for Vince on being the youngest kid to ever make a basket.
Lawson couldn't believe it. HE was supposed to be the best athlete. HE should've made that shot. HE should be getting all this glory. At that moment, he felt the most extreme feelings of jealousy he'd ever had, and they were all aimed at this puny first-grader with the jersey.
"You think you're so hot now, just you wait," he growled at Vince. "Nobody takes away MY glory and gets away with it. So you just better back off, LaStupid, or you are going to get extremely hurt."
Then Vince gave his first comeback remark ever. He lowered his eyes and said, "Bring it on."
