Capítulo 14: VAGUE DREAMS
Haru said a little boy as he smiled. What is it? Asked Haruko. Let me show you something cool, you've been wanting to see me do it for a very longtime but you were afraid to ask said the little boy as he dribbles the basketball through his legs.
Whoa , you're so amazing, that's so cool said Haruko as her eyes glistened with excitement and her interest peaked. You really think that crossing the ball between my leg was amazing wait until you see me do this trick said the little boy as
he proceeds to spin the basketball on his fingers.
I'm amazed you are able to do stuff like that, who taught you? Asked Haruko. I honestly don't remember any of that , all I know is that I'm able to do all this but it's amazing isn't it Haruko.
Haruko, Haruko, Haruko Takahashi! Shouted the teacher frightening Haruko from her sleep. Err..r , yes sir ! Yes sir said Haruko as she took up her textbook and wiped the drool from her mouth.
Ms. Takahashi, please continue where Takeru left off. Yes sir said Haruko as she tried reading the book however she was confused. Um sir , I'm afraid I don't understand this said Haruko as she squinted her eyes trying to decipher what's on the page.
That's because your book is upside down young lady said the teacher. Oh my bad sir said Haruko as she blushes out of embarrassment. Everyone in class laughed at Haruko's mistake.
Read line six on page eighty six in the textbook please said the teacher as he sighed. And there he stood all alone , forgetting all the hard work he had done, all the things he had accomplished, all the great men and women he had met throughout his life and all of his love ones . He cried when he came to the realization that the old man was right .
Thank you Haruko, that was excellent English speaking, well done but next time please do not take my class for a nap session. Yes , I'm truly sorry sir said Haruko sincerely. As the school bell rung , Haruko separated herself from the crowd and went to her favorite chill spot, a bench under a cherry blossom tree.
I haven't had a dream like that in years, I wonder if it's a message. I can't remember the face of that person or where exactly he came from or if he is even around anymore. He just appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared without a trace Haruko said to herself.
That little boy despite being able to smile so bright when he played basketball carried alot of burdens all by himself. I didn't understand back then but I could have seen it in his eyes.
He was the one who made me fall in love with the sport and wanted to go pro at a very young age, I trained very hard everyday to get to a level where I'd be a great player.
I'm certain that if I continue to play basketball maybe our paths will be crossed one day. I would like to thank him for introducing me to basketball said Haruko.
Haru, I see that you look troubled said a girl as she walked towards Haruko. no, it's nothing like that Sayaka , I'm just lost in my thoughts said Haruko.
oh I see, Haruko, are you fixated on what our teammates say about you behind your back? I don't like how the girl's in a lower grade than us looks at you and gossip. They look down on you because they feel as though they're better because of the last game we had in the previous season. I know that it must be hard to train and play with them while they are talking bad things about you. If it's bothering you just give me the signal to knock some senses into them said Sayaka concerned about Haruko.
That won't be necessary Sayaka. Maybe in the past I was affected by what they said behind my back but, overtime I stopped caring about what they say and focus more on becoming a better player said Haruko
.
I know that you will prove to all of them this year, that you are amazing said Sayaka as she smiled. I definitely will and this time I won't make what happened last season happen again.
We were up by six points and was halfway through the second quarter of the match in round two. The scores were twenty two to sixteen and we were doing pretty well in that game with me playing incredible defense and making alot of good passes however, after sometime the opposing team caught on to to the fact that I can't score a shot.
There was nothing our coach could do, I was the only second year able to play decent enough on the starting team. Sayaka, Suzume and Kotone were inexperienced back then Haruko said to herself. So the coach had a hard time deciding whether to sub me out or not because it wouldn't have made much of a difference and it wouldn't change the outcome.
So for the remainder of the game they left me unmarked and heavily guarded my teammates forcing me to take shots before the time on the shot clock ran out. I was so useless and I couldn't help the team in anyway at all Haruko said to herself. In the end we lost thirty seven to twenty six. My coach didn't blame me for the lost neither did the third years they all said that I did the best that I could.
So after the previous captain and the coach of our team decided to make me the captain for this year our juniors went ballistic. They started bad mouthing me and even avoiding me and ignoring my instructions when the coach is not around. It was a horrible experience for me so this time, I'll be sure to aim for the top and win this thing once and for all Haruko said to herself.
