It was 9:20 homeroom ended i needed to go to my first period of the day "English 1" From my schedule it says my first-period teacher's name is Mrs. Raymond room 212. "her name sounded strict" I was already judging her, just by hearing her name but internally I was hoping she was nice.
At 9:25 I came just in time before I was late for class.i looked around and sat in an open chair and then the class started. The room was quiet, when you look at Mrs. Raymond she released an aura of demanding submission and a look in her eye that said "I dare you to mess around"
I was right Mrs. Raymond was strict she was a black lady with braids and you could see wrinkles on her face. The class was boring she was introducing herself and what she dislikes and never said anything of her likes she looked like she had something against us and when she spoke their bitterness and her voice was so boring to listen to. "I hate this," I said internally shaking my head and sadness and bordom was expressed from my face.
After a 50-minute long boring class with Mrs. Reymand, it finished and it was 10:30 I was in the back of the class in my second-period Algebra 1 the teacher's name was Mr. Batiste. He wasn't that bad he was more fun and wasn't boring nor strict.
Spencer was in this class and he kept looking at me, I'm not sure why though. I learned something from Mr. Batiste his family came from France it was interesting but that class ended quickly we weren't doing any work I messed with that.
Author note: I'm not going to show every period I'm just going to skip
I was in my 6th period, it's me, it was a bit crowded in the gym as i looked around I say there were about 40 to 35 freshmen in here with me. My PE teacher is Coach Darnell he introduced himself "Hey welcome to PE, hope you doing well. Anyways you guys will address me as Coach Darnell" he said as he turned to look at everyone and then began to speak again "I'm also the pe teacher and the basketball coach, so for pe… you already know pe is I hope" he introduced himself briefly we were in the basketball court he took out some balls and made a fair team, and Brang out jerseys and yelling "YELLOW VS RED play fair play sportsmanship and no aggressive play this isn't a real game it's just for exercise"
He stands in the middle separating the teams and exaggerating his body language while talking. His aura was no-nonsense, you could notice him before you came into the gym, he was bald with a tight beard he was 6'4 had an ex-linebacker a square body, and a deep voice.
Coach Darnell started to shout again "We will play for 30 minutes with a 10-minute break for water and rest we only have 40 minutes of this class so get ready," Coach Darnell said as he was holding a basketball with 2 hands.
I was on the red team we had 7 girls and 13 boys which included myself. I was sizing up my teammates and noticed something "Hmm looks like they're only 2 people taller than me haha wait I don't remember being this tall at 15 how tall am I maybe 5'9 5'8? Hmm I'm gonna check when I go home" I was amused internally looking around the gym they were kinda short to me but not by much "This is an alternate timeline so I might have a change of height I was only 6'2 in my original timeline" I amused holding my chin
And then looked around at people looking at me weirdly and chuckling at me and realizing how weird I was acting. " okay you, you, you, you and you are the starting 5 everyone else sit down." Coach Darnell said and pointed at me when he said you so I stayed and then turned to look at him repeating the same thing to the other team.
"You all will be able to play but we can't have all of you on the court" coach Darnell yelled out. And then after my team and the other team were ready coach Darnell blew a whistle beeeeeep!!!
Before the game even started I noticed Spencer staring at me smirking he was on the yellow. And I was in the red team.
Yellow started with the ball with Spencer bringing the ball up to the half-court.
I pressed hard body to body with Spencer to not let him breathe or have an easy time. He tried to hesi me but I didn't fall for it. Spencer did another step back tween tween then a shot that I contested hard.
Airball
My team gains possession and I get the ball Spencer guard tight but not too tight to make sure I don't blow by him. I do behind the back step through and rush to the paint the 2 tall people that I noticed were the only ones taller than me were guarding me and I go up for the finish
The ball goes up hits back backboard but only hits the rim and flies out.
"Fuck" I think internally frustrated I was okay at basketball but nowhere near to being good at basketball.
14 minutes have passed since that play and coach Darnell was screaming "1 more minute till halftime!!!"
Spencer had the ball and was running out of the one-minute clock until there were only 15 seconds left. And started pushing into an offensive charge we were up by 2.
34:32
I only had 5 points 2 assists and 1 rebound my skills and talent were lacking. I was already planning to buy crypto like Bitcoin and start investing after high school.
Spencer dribbled and forced to guard him closely he did a cross-cross and a behind-the-back giving him space to shoot 5 seconds the students already getting hyped and Spencer did a hesi that I fell for and I jumped and gave Spencer space and he moved out the way.
Open shot green all net
BEEP!
Coach Darnell's whistle blew. I looked down people were going crazy all my classmates went to Spencer and cheered him on and people were clowning at me. All I can do is smile and look down. I took a glance at Spencer and he was taunting me showing me 3 fingers in my face and saying "You like that 3"
I just smiled and ignored him after resting and hearing people laugh at me the game started again. I was on the bench until there were 5 minutes left of PE.
My teammates passed me the ball Spencer isolated me and we had a 1v1. I did a cross and then started backing him down until he passed the three-point line.
I started to dribble behind the back hesi then a step through for a long 2.
SPLASH
All net no board or rim, I started to point at Spencer and he looked pissed off. No one scored for 5 possessions when their was only 30 seconds of the game left Spencer had the ball.
Spencer dribbled with deadly precision. Passing the ball left and right and walked me down the court. Then a tween and then a house that shook me off with 3 seconds left I jumped and put my hand up but it was too late.
Spencer shot the ball off in time and it looked like my contested shot was nothing and he looked like he didn't even see my hand.
Swish
Spencer started screaming in happiness, the gym erupted and Coach Darrel looked at Spencer with a nod. I stand there my hands on my hip looking at the net and then turn my head to see Spencer's lips curl up and then look at me while holding a finger on his lips and hushing me. I stared at him frustration showing on my face I said nothing clenching my hands and clenching my jaw.
Beep!!!
Coach Darrell's whistle was blown
"Okay good game all of you I hope you had fun class will be over in 5 minutes clean yourself up for your last period of the day good game to you all I hope you have a good game"
Coach Darrel said to everyone, I still have a look of frustration and anger.
Then as I started walking off the court my eyes widened in shock. A soft glow of a screen was in front of me showing me a butch of words

I stand there looking at this screen that everybody doesn't see but me. "What the hell is this," I say in shock "Is this a system"
