57 Graduation

Graduation was slowly approaching us as we are all preparing for final days in high school. There were people pulling pranks and some were shooting their shots for the last time at the ones that they loved. We had a problem where some seniors were trying to talk to my sister Opal, she got so annoyed that she pushed them my way saying if they could beat me in a basketball game she would date them. The seniors all knew who I was and didn't even think of trying me except for one guy but I crushed him so badly he didn't even have the chance to score.

The problem came with the freshmen that didn't know much about me. The whole junior varsity team came to ask me for a match. I wanted to make it interesting so I told them that they would all be facing me. The face they made had me laughing in my head but I looked very serious to them. They smirked and one guy made a rude remark saying that when I lose they were going to run a train on my sister which pissed me off. I calmly started the game which was the first person to five points wins. 

They had their starters play against me, their power forward was nervous going against me for some weird reason. It seemed like he had seen me play before unlike the rest of the team so before he could warn the team that I was a great shooter the game had already started. They let me have the ball first since it was five against one. As soon as they checked the ball up I took my surprise first shot to give me two points. 

The guys had a serious face on as they started to play better defense. The center and pf stayed back in the post as the other three played strong defense against me. They weren't giving me any chance to even breathe so I got one of them to get an arm above mines as I shot the ball with a foul. They started calling foul and getting ready to check the ball up again but then the ball went in the bucket to give me two more points. 

They tried to argue that it was a foul so the point didn't count but I quickly corrected them by saying \" I never called the foul\" this caused the whole gym to be in an uproar. One more point and I would be the winner. I was glad I played the whole team instead of playing them one on one. The five starters were representing the whole team so the bench members were made their starters were losing to one guy. 

Opal was watching all of this with amusement laughing to herself because she had become the manager for the JV team and they were always acting cocky so this was going to ground them up a little bit so they would be more humble to the game. Due to the team winning the tournament last year the school had gotten a lot of top new freshmen to join the basketball team but they were all cocky and they ended up losing in the first round but they didn't blame it on themselves but on the coach. 

The center was laying on his back with tears in eyes, the gym went crazy as the whole JV team was in shock at what I just did. The pf was the only one not shocked as he explained to the team who I was causing them to be more shocked. I laughed and told them to leave my sister alone as I walked out of the gym. I had gotten measurements 4 my graduation gown and had received a custom made hat to go with it I received so many medals from sports and some from academics.

I wasn't the smartest person but I was still able to use some of my knowledge from my past life to pass all my classes. On the day before my graduation, my sister Flo had finally made it back to the States after she had gotten contact with us she had completely forgotten that my graduation was coming up and had almost missed it. We had even told her about the incident with the kidnapping,  she has gotten so mad and disappointed at herself for not being there for us.

She caught the next plane to the states and made it on time a day before graduation so the whole family was available to support me which made me happy. Flo came back looking completely different she looked in shape and she had her hair in braids. I asked her how her trip and she told me that she ended up in so many places mostly Asia climbing small mountains and visiting local villages and trying out different cuisines.

I was impressed that she was able to do all that on her own and thought that maybe I should go on a trip like that one day. She told me how she was able to meditate with some monks and how they showed her the right way to do a lot of things I told her not to teach me because I want to go and learn for myself one day which she agreed.
