9. The Game

I guess I was more tired than I had originally thought because I didn't wake until 9:00 a.m. which is very late to me. I noticed two other people were awake beside me though. Sam was in the bathroom brushing her teeth. Adam, in his lab, probably working. I wonder when he woke up. Once I ate breakfast, everyone started to get up. Today, there is no mission so Adam made us train. We played basketball the rest of the day and then a surprising guest joined us.

Adam, wearing a t-shirt and shorts and a headband around his head, which I didn't know he had, came out and play. He wanted to play a game. We agreed on a game boys versus boys. Emma said she'd rather be scorekeeper which was good because that meant the teams would be even.

We agreed to go easy on them because Adam never plays. We let the boys get the ball first because Adam probably isn't really good. Boy, were we wrong. Adam played like a pro. As soon as the ball reaches his hands, in a matter of seconds, it's in the hoop. Half way through the game, we were losing until Sam suggested that we use our powers. Shalimar said it would be like breaking a rule. I said that we never agreed on that rule. That convinced Shalimar and we all agreed.

The boys or I should said the boys and the old man had no idea what we were planning. That was a good thing because they'd never expect it. Once we used our power, we scored really quickly. Near the end, the game was close. Our powers only leveled the playing field . Adam's skills kept it a close game.

Surprisingly, Jesse and Brennan didn't use their powers. I bet it was because Adam told them not to. Finally, with 10 seconds remaining, Adam's team managed to pull a two point lead. We only had 9 seconds left to make a shot. I thought we should tie the game instead of risking a 3 pointer because they seemed worn out. If we extend the match, we will win for sure.

Shalimar agreed but Sam didn't seem so sure. She wanted to finish the game as soon as possible. At the end, we tied the game. After a few shots, we defeat them easily because Adam, their lead scorer, was really tired and Jesse and Brennan weren't doing too well either. We left the court very happy but all of us seemed very surprise at Adam's skills because everyone including me asked Adam a lot of questions.
