Thursday… Game day!
Matt and Amy made their way to the boys' locker room, where Matt will change before the big game. When they got there, they met up with Torrie and Stacy, who were just about to leave.
"Hey guys!" Amy greeted them both.
"Hey!" They greeted back.
"You going to watch the game?" Torrie asked.
"Mhm." Amy replied.
"We're just about to go, want us to wait for you?" Stacy asked.
"It's okay, you two go ahead. I'll catch up." Amy replied.
"Okay, see ya." Torrie and Stacy waved goodbye to both of them.
"Oh and good luck Matt!" Torrie added.
"Thanks!" Matt replied.
Amy turned to Matt.
"So, what now?" she asked.
"Well, I have to change." He said and brushed his lips against hers.
"See ya out there." She said sweetly.
"Wish me luck." Matt said.
"Luck." Amy replied, "And you have a kiss to go with that too."
She kissed Matt and went away to the stands where the game will take place. Matt went inside the locker room and got dressed. He felt a bit nervous and was now pacing around the locker room; a bad habit of his.
"You okay man?" John asked, approaching him.
"huh?... yeah yeah, just nervous." Matt replied.
"Here, have some chocolate, it'll calm you down." Randy said, handing him a piece.
"Thanks man." Matt replied and took the chocolate and ate it.
"Feeling better?" Randy asked.
"Yeah." Matt replied with a smile.
"Good. Cos there's only 10 minutes till game time! Yeah!" John said, raising a fist in the air.
Randy smacked him on the head.
"Ow! What was that for!?"
"You just made him nervous again!"
"Well, I'm sorry! Can't a guy be excited for a game!"
"Go be excited somewhere else!"
"Oh so now you're the boss of me!?"
And the argument went on for five minutes until John stole Randy's underwear and was now running around the room, showing it to everyone; Randy hot on his tail. The whole scene made the whole locker room laugh and Matt forget about the game.
Amy went to the stands and found a seat between Torrie and Stacy and Jeff and Gil.
"3 more minutes until the game starts." Gil (Matt and Jeff's dad)said excitedly.
"mhmm" Jeff agreed through a mouthful of popcorn. He was now on his second bucket.
"Jeff, how much popcorn have you eaten? The game hasn't even started yet." Amy asked.
Jeff just shrugged and ate some more.
"Ah, just leave him Amy. He can eat the whole popcorn stand if he wants to." His dad said.
Amy shrugged and was gonna take a piece of popcorn, when Jeff slapped her hand.
"Get your own!" he said.
Amy gave him a look and rubbed her hand, turning her attention to the court.
"Hey!" Trish greeted and took a seat between Amy and Jeff.
"Hey! Game starts in 2." Amy said holding two fingers up.
Trish smiled at her and was about to take a piece of popcorn from Jeff when he slapped her hand away like he did to Amy.
In 2 minutes time, the game started and Matt and the others were doing great. They had scored 46 out of 42 in the first half. It was now the last quarter and Matt didn't look good, he looked like he was in pain. The coach called for a time-out.
"Matt, are you sure you're okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm good. Just a bit of cramping on my left." Matt replied.
"Maybe you should skip this part of the game." He suggested.
"No. No. I can do this." He said.
They all went back to the game and only 20 seconds remaining and Matt was handed the ball. He was running fast; the adrenaline rushing. He was almost there and he can feel someone behind him. He jumped to shoot but that person knocked him down, causing him to fall on his left leg. He heard something crack and he was now in pain, lying on the floor and clutching his leg. The game was over and everyone was cheering that their team won, well, not everyone; some were in shock and fell silent. The team wasn't rejoicing. The school doctor rushed in with nurses. Matt was then carried off to the hospital. His dad, brother and friends close behind.
At the hospital…
"How is he doc?" Gil asked.
"He's doing okay, just a broken leg that's all." He replied.
Gil smiled and so did the others. Matt was okay.
"You may go and see him, but one person for now. Nurse Kari will take you to him." He smiled and left.
"Ames, you go." Gil said. Amy looked up. Gil smiled and she went with the nurse to Matt's room.
Once they got there, the nurse opened the door and Amy entered.
"Just call me when you need something." Nurse Kari smiled and left.
"Hey Ames." He said.
"Hey." She replied and went and sat on the bed next to him.
Matt put his arm around her.
"So how are you?" Amy smiled.
"I'm good. Hey do you think Jeff will ever get a clue that Trish likes him?" he said.
Amy laughed and shook her head.
"Though, I don't know, but I think that he likes her too."
The conversation was interrupted when Matt's dad and the others entered the room.
"Speak of the devil." Amy muttered to Matt when Jeff came in and Trish just behind him.
"Guys, we got pizza!" John said when he entered the room with two boxes of pizza in one hand and Torrie in the other.
"All right!" Jeff said and grabbed on box and started eating away.
