Tris Pov:
We step onto the court ready to face Sweden and beat them right now. Their coach is Jeanine Mathews, she is one of the smartest coaches around. Coach Tori may be a good coach but she's all about just playing and not really having set offenses, she is a coach of bravery. The ref throws the ball up and Christina tips it to Lynn who goes and scores. (Time skip to the end of the game)
Everyone is lining up for a free throw that can win the game. I'm shooting the score is tied 64-64 right now with one second left on the clock. All I need to do is hit one of these and we win. Right? That may be harder because I see the mens basketball team walk in right when the referee passes me the ball. Focus Tris. You have to hit at least one of these. I think to myself, I can do it. I will do it. We're not losing. Free throws win games, that's what is about to happen. I do my free throw routine of three dribbles then spin the ball. I close my eyes and let all of my adrenaline simmer down. I shoot the ball it goes in. Marlene, Christina, Lynn and Shauna all clap my back and hand. One down one to go. I do the same thing for the next one and make it. "TIME OUT!" Jeanine yells.
We run over to Tori and she claps me on the back. "Good job Tris those were clutch right there. Now we have to defend the ball when they get it in don't let anything happen no fouls. There's one second we can do this right ladies?" She asks us. "YES" We all scream back to her. We walk back onto the floor and I see Four and I make eye contact with him. He smiles and gives me a thumbs up. I just laugh to myself and focus back into the game. Their guard takes the ball out. I go back and trap with Marlene not letting their secondary guard catch it. They get a five second call. We get the ball back, Lynn takes it out and passes it to me. I hold the ball and we won! We beat Sweden which is a nationally ranked team of number 1. Holy shit my whole inside is shaking right now! I am over joyed the same with everyone else. "That was a huge win!" Christina said.
"Ladies guess what?" Bud asks us. We all look at each other confused by what is going on. "What?" We ask in unison.
"That was the championship game!" Tori comes over and puts her arms around all of us.
"WHAT!" Shauna shrieks. "Why didn't you tell us?"Marlene questions.
"We wanted you guys to just go out and play we didn't want you to worry about winning and you guys did you all played amazing!" Bud tells us. This means that I go back home to nothing. I really hope one of the girls will let me stay with one of them.
"So go get your hotel room packed we're scheduled to leave after the ceremonies which are tomorrow." Tori tells us. Great just great. I go into the locker room and take a shower then change into my sweats and sweatshirt. I walk out with the rest of the girls on to find the on and only Four and the rest of the team waiting for us.
"You guys played a lovely game out there." One of the guys says who looks a lot like Uriah.
"Um thanks." Shauna says while blushing. Someone's got a crush.
"I'm Zeke," he walks over to Shauna and they get deep into a conversation. I just laugh while Christina is checking out a guy with green eyes and blonde hair.
"I'm Will." He says with a deep masculine voice
"I'm Christina." She says and they start talking
All the girls start talking with the boys while I stand awkwardly not saying anything to Four. I get butterflies in my stomach and I don't know why.
"Those were huge free throws that you shot today." He tells me while taking a step closer.
"Thanks when do you guys play?" I ask him hoping it's soon so I will be able to watch him play.
"We played just before we walked into your game." He tells me and it feels like my stomach has a huge whole in it.
"Oh did you guys play well?" I ask him trying to hide my disappointment. To my luck I did it pretty well. "Yeah we won by five."
"That's amazing good job." I say half heartedly.
"Girls it's time to board the bus." Coach Tori calls out.
"I'll see you back at the hotel hopefully." I tell him.
"Yeah same." he says and walks away.
I grab all the girls and get back on the bus.
"They were so cute!" Lauren yells,
"I know right. I was like oh my god you're actually talking to me!" Christina shrieks.
"Will you all just shut the fuck up?" Lynn yells. I nod my head in agreement with her.
"Lynn language." Bud calls out. Lynn just shakes her head in annoyance.
"Zeke was totally into you Shauna." Marlene tells her. Shauna looks so pleased. Christina is so engrosed into her phone I go over and see she's texting a boy named Will.
"Will?" I ask her, she turns around and has a look of horror on her face.
"You scared the shit out of me you little bitch." She laughs. Then says; "He gave me his number at the gym." She tells me. I give her a hug and laugh.
"So what about you and that tall guy. He was so hot." She tells me.
"I don't even know him. All I know is that his name is Four."
"Well we are all hanging out with them when we get back to the hotel, we're going swimming." Christina tells me. I hate swimming. I'll most likely just sit in the hot tub the whole time.
"Fine." I say. The bus pulls up to the hotel and we all exit and grab our bags and run up to our rooms to get changed for swimming. Today was such a long day I can't wait for it to end, but right now I have to focus on getting Four to notice me more then he has.
