Sorry it's taken such a long time! School is a pain in the butt! But here is chapter5 – so enjoy! And please send me reviews! I need 'em! And remember, I don't own any of these characters, so please don't sue me! You won't get any money from a broke student!
Note: there will be a bit of a time laps between some paragraphs. Not much, just by 30min to a couple of hours. I'll try to put (/) cuz it looks like a clock- just so ya'll know.
Also: what would be a good mascot for the home team? Not sure if I'll use it, but just in case. And what the heck are Bob's, Sam and Dave's last name!
ch5
"Congratulation Gretchen. You have just won the Noble Prize for stopping world hunger!" The announcer said as he gave her the prize. What are you going to do next?" "Well Travis, I think I'll try to find a cure for cancer." "Well that seems great! But just remember, you'll have to wake up soon." "What!" "Gretchen! Wake up honey! You're going to be late for school!"
"I'm up mom!"
Gretchen got dressed, and put her "Famous Noble Prize Winners" book in her bag. No wonder she dreamed she won the Noble Prize. She looked in her bag only to find something missing. Were did her permission slip go? The Boys Varsity basket ball team had an away game and she needed that slip to go. Normally Gus went to broadcast away games, but since he has yearly army opps. Game with his dad, she had to do the broadcast. Where could she have put it? She went into the kitchen to get breakfast. "Gretchen, sweetie. Here's your permission slip. What time to do leave school and when do you get back?" her mom asked. "Um, well." Gretchen thought for a moment as she put a pop-tart in the toaster. "I think the bus leaves at 2:00. It takes about 2hours to get there. The game starts at 5. We should leave around 8. So I think we should be home by 10, 11 at the latest". Gretchen got her pop-tart, and drank some milk. "Well, just be careful. Call us when you start to come home. Oh! Gosh, I'm gonna be late. Here sweetie" her mom said as she gave Gretchen 30 dollars. "Be safe and don't be late". Her mom ran out the door.
Lunch had ended and all the players were outside waiting for the bus. The cheep school had only sprung for one bus: for the players and the cheerleaders, so there was very little space left. As every one crowded on to the bus, Gretchen was last in line. She looked for Vince. He pointed to the seat next to him, luckily he had saved her a spot: although there were a couple of cheerleaders that looked angrily toward Gretchen. "If look could kill", she thought to her self. "Hey Vince! Thanks for the spot" she said as she approached him. "But one request? Can I get the window seat?"
Bob had been one of the first to get on the bus. So he had a perfect view of Gretchen when she got on. The conversation he had over heard his parents having that morning came back to him. "He was sleeping, and when I went to cover him, he mumbled some girl's name." "Who was it? One of those Ashley girls?" his father had asked "No, some girl named Gretchen. Have you heard anything about her?" "No, not really….wait. Isn't she that smart one from his science class?" Had he been dreaming of Gretchen the night before? He looked up in time to see her sit by Vince. He felt a bit disappointed, but why should he? It's not like he was saving her a seat. "Oh shut up and quit your wining!" He told himself. He turned on his IPOD, went to his pre-game song and closed his eyes. "Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the. ………………."
"Vince, wake up. We're here." Vince had fallen asleep on Gretchen's shoulder. It didn't really bother her that much. There had been times when he would fall asleep on her or the other way around. It had been that way since 5th grade. What did bother her were the looks she got from Emily, Cara, and Beth Ann. She knew Vince had flings with each one of them, nothing too serious or intimate. Cheerleader, they reminded her of wolves. Traveled in packs, and would kill what ever got between them and their pray. Vince was the pray. The guys walked into the gym to practice for the game; while the cheerleader started to go over their routines. Gretchen started setting up the cords, mic, and small satellite for the broadcast. She had learned from the past never to trust the opposing team to set up the equipment for her. She set up the small stand in the press box. When she got done, she got her camera out and started taking pictures of the guys. Photography was only a hobby for her. And if she did get some good shots, she could always sell 'em to the town's newspaper. After 30min, the guys rested for the game. Coach Evans gave them his speech of how he wanted his players to conduct themselves. 10min later, the gym was full with students, players and parents.
"Welcome to tonight's boy's varsity basketball game against the home team Riverbend Raiders and the visiting team 9th Street High school. I'm your host for the evening Gretchen Grundler. The game will be starting shortly, so if your not here yet, you better be coming! Remember folks, the winner of tonight's game goes to the final-four. Where they will be just two games away from the state championship. The starting five for the Raiders are James Carpenter, Josh Mackenzie, Mike Valentino, Mark Fallon, and Eric Jones. The staring five for 9th Street are Bob, Erwin Lawson, Vince LaSalle, Sam and Dave. And there is the buzzard!"
8:20pm
The crowed cheered as 9th Street High School was announced victorious. They had gone into overtime and had won 92- 89. Vince had been able to steel the ball and had passed it to Lawson, who went for the winning 3-pointer. After the game they had stopped at Subway for dinner. Coach said he didn't want the guys to eat junk food, but let them get some cookies. The ride home was filled plenty of conversation that Gretchen was left to her own thoughts. Chad, Vince's older brother had come along with their parents. He had gone to talk to Gretchen during half time. They caught up with each other. Gretchen couldn't help but feel excited when ever he was around her. She just didn't know what to say to him. She put her headphones on and thought of Chad just before she drifted off to sleep.
Bob has ecstatic! They were now only two games away from becoming state champions! He searched for his favorite winning songs. Queens "Another one bites the dust" and "Bohemian rhapsody". He looked around the bus. A few people had fallen asleep, while the rest either talked quietly or just listened to music. He noticed Gretchen's head slowly leaning to the side. Vince gently pressed her head against his shoulder, and she had fallen completely asleep. He suddenly didn't feel like listening to Queen. He looked on his IPOD until he found it He pushed play and closed his eyes, while listening to the song that matched his mood.
So that's chapter 5! Reviews! Send me reviews!
