back home

tuesday i'm back in dallas fourth quarter coach smart puts me in and i get knocked to the ground on the rotation and all of a sudden i'm back at wilson and i'm late for class and I CAN'T FIND MY BACKPACK and i look for mom in the stands but instead of her i see coach nelson and coach is just shaking his big head again AND THEN I GRAB THE BALL FROM TIM THOMAS but monta comes up to me before i can dribble up the court and takes the ball and runs away and scores. then after the game i feel pretty good and i go to dinner and my family and friends tell me how fun it was and i say i had fun too. i get calamari and steak and an iced tea and when it's time to go back to the team mom hugs me and says she's so proud of me and she cries a little bit WHICH MAKES ME START CRYING and i get on the team bus and cj 's eating banana bread and watching independence day and he asks me if everything's okay and i say i'm good and i sit behind him and try to read my book but i end up watching the movie
