The school day went by fast as if it was going as fast as possible. The bell rang and everyone got ready to go home. Lucas on the other hand noticed a boy at the back of the class. The boy was skinny and a lot shorter than Kyran, the boy was about 4 foot 11 inches. The boy looked over and saw Lucas looking straight at him. The boy looked shocked as if was unnatural for someone to notice him. Lucas decided to walk over to the kid. "Hi," Lucas said. "Do you do any clubs?"
Harley quickly ran other saying, "Lucas you can't just say that without getting to know them first."
"It's alright," the boy said. "People don't usually notice me much as people's attention is constantly dragged away from me."
"Okay then," Harley replied. "Anyway I know I just asked Lucas not to say this but bo you do any clubs."
The kid looked for a moment before his eyes landed on Lucas's slightly opened bag, the basketball just visible. "I think we are going to the same club," the boy said. "I'm Silas the fifth member of the Basketball club."
Lucas just smiled. "Well at least we now know everyone in the club." Lucas said picking his bag up. "You might as well walk with us to the gym. We are going to the same place."
Silas thought for a moment. "Are you sure?" He asked, "you might forget I'm here."
"Don't worry," Lucas replied still smiling. "I'm the one that's supposed to be training you after all. The other two are probably already there." All three of them walked into the hallway. For being a highschool it was very quiet. They however did picked up on one of the P.E teachers talking to Nico. "Nico you know this school has never won anything," one said.
"I know that," Nico fired back. "But I've seen those kids play they have a determination that no one else does in this whole school." Nico opened the door ready to step out until he looked up to see Lucas, Harley, and Silas. "You heard that didn't you," he asked.
"Yeah we did," Lucas replied. "But just to tell you we won't lose easily." All three of them followed Nico in silence down to the gym. When they got there they saw Kyran and Jake already there already in there normal clothes. "Before we go in," Nico started. "You must choose someone as your team captain."
"Why," Jake asked. "Does the school have some role that you need a team captain to even be a sports club."
"Uh," Nico replied. "You are spot on."
"That was just a guess," Jake revealed.
"Well it doesn't matter," Kyran interrupted. "We are just going to pick the same person anyway."
"Okay then point at them," Nico told them. They all pointed towards Lucas. "Why him?" Nico asked.
"He gets angry the least," Harley answered. "Can we just play now?"
"Fine," Nico answered. "I'll choose teams for you. I think Lucas you play with Silas and the rest of you on one team." As soon as Nico finished talking all five of them ran to their positions. "Jake's team starts."
Lucas passed the ball to Jake to start the game and instantly Jake passed the ball to Harley. Harley caught and started dribbling up the court he had made it three quarters of the way up the court before he say Lucas hadn't moved yet. But Lucas was talking to someone but Silas wasn't near. Then Lucas shouted "you should pay more attention to the guy cause I've already found a way for him to play." Then Lucas started running the other way.
'wait what?' Harley thought, 'what is he on about. Wait where's Silas.' Suddenly Harley lost the ball, Silas had appeared right next to him and had hit the ball straight to Lucas. Lucas caught the ball. He jumped into a shooting form but just as he shot Jake jumped and blocked it. The air stayed in the air for just a few seconds before falling right into Kyran's hands at the halfway line. Kyran lifted the ball into the air and shot. The net swished as the ball flew into the the next. Harley's team got the first points. "Silas pass me the ball," Lucas told Silas. Silas listened and immediately indounbed the ball to Lucas. "Five minutes left!" Nico shouted. Lucas run forward with a sudden burst of speed. Harley run into Lucas's path planning to block his route. Lucas bounced the ball to his other hand and then back. Lucas burst forward again with the same burst of speed again. Then Jake tried to get in the way Kyran prepared to steal. So Lucas did the last possible option in his mind. He moved the ball to his left hand and threw it up towards the hoop. It went up above the hoop and swish the ball fell straight into the hoop. "Times up!" Nico announced "finally score by were Lucas is standing behind the three point line. 3-3. A draw."
"Well that was a good game for us." Harley revealed, "usually we can't even score more than a two pointer and Kyran is usually stopped by the wind."
"Yeah," Kyran agreed. "Your last minute shot was a suprise as well usual you have to be near the hoop."
"A lucky shot I guess," Lucas replied.
"Well," Nico started. "If you want to stay longer to practice you can."
Jake, Harley and Kyran left to go home as none of them liked practicing. But Silas and Lucas stayed.
