LIFE ABOVE THE BOTTOM

EPISODE 6: DEFEAT BY MEETING

Where when I found out who my opponent in the next tournament I was shocked because at this moment, he had entered the school that would be my opponent.

I'm sure he'll come to the tournament to support his school playing against my school.

I immediately rushed into the field to see around the bleachers, whether he came or not but I did not see him at all on the bench. I immediately got ready for the warm-up because in a moment, the quarter-final will start. The opponent of my basketball team is a basketball team from SMAN 1 BALIKPAPAN that we have fought in the SMANSA CUP. Our team time may lose heavily but we will try to give our best to the spectators and our supporters who have come to the Doom Balikpapan building.

Despite the possibility of losing, we tried to give our best.

Before the tournament started, I saw him sitting on the bench with his friend.

Before the tournament started, I felt the turmoil of my heart that was so stubborn but I still had to be consistent and professional in the match. Although the distance between me and him was limited to one basketball court, I was happy to see him present in a basketball tournament.

A moment later the match began,

I asked the coach to let me play, but the coach was still afraid of the post-operative condition of the body. I immediately explained that my body condition had improved and was able to compete one quarter match.

The coach agreed but on the condition that only one quarter, after which must be replaced with other players. I was immediately getting ready to enter the field, I felt excited because there was him again watching even though I was not the one who was supported.

I'm still excited that I'm going to show you, I'm better than I used to be in my own way.

A moment later the first quarter match started, I started with dribbles and short passes but I was blocked by the opposing team, I immediately fell down with a sitting position, the coach shouted " You're okay", I immediately replied "it's okay",.

I was still able to finish one game, as a result of that incident our team got a free shot twice but one did not get into the ring (2-0), we got a superior score (2-0), how many minutes of the match , we were met with a long-range throw that produced 3 points, we immediately missed the point, we will not give up , we have to keep going not to give up but we lost again the first quarter with a score (2-10).

We are getting ready for the second quarter match, I have to be replaced because in accordance with the agreement at the beginning before the match.

The game went fierce until the last quarter but what I think happened was our team lost by the scoreline (14 - 28).

We are proud to be able to perform with a satisfactory result even though the result is not as we expected.

After the game was over, I started looking around for him, to invite him to chat as a friend no more.

I managed to find when I was buying drinks in the food court, I immediately reprimanded and invited to chat, we immediately looked for a seat to be more comfortable chatting, I immediately felt stale asking about the things about his new school and what his activities were at school, he immediately replied as usual with a smile and laughter that I knew brought there was a sense of disappointment as well. When I asked "is there still a feeling with me" he replied "i don't know yet, we'll see in the future what ", I don't know yet ",.

I immediately acted silly because I was able to meet him even if I only chatted for a while. He wanted to hurry home because there was other business.

I also need to hurry home, too,

I intended to take her home but she refused because there was an appointment to go home with her schoolmate, I could not force that I could take her home.

I immediately returned to where my team had gathered after finishing chatting with him, I headed straight to my team place to have a meeting to discuss about the match earlier. I arrived at my team meeting, I immediately entered the team.

We are delighted to be able to get the maximum result even though only until the quarter-finals. After we are done with the business of this match. We all rushed home and took a break to resume our activities the next day.

We all went straight back to our homes. I have to go home. Arriving home I immediately rested because tomorrow morning I have to go to school as usual.

There is no feeling soon there will be a 3rd class exam that will be held in 2 months. I also have to prepare myself for the third grade examination.
