After school I rushed to the gym, wanted to practice
basketballer. Being busy thinking about my requests, I
I forgot this afternoon we were going to fight.
The girls team from Bumi Pertiwi First High School was already in the field, warming up by shooting lay-ups.
Most of their shots came in. They are big tall and look great. We heard their team was really good and it looks like it is.
I quickly changed clothes and immediately got out of the changing room. My team-mates had gathered around Mr. Edi to receive the final briefing before the match. While running towards them, I cupped my hands together and prayed that I would not embarrass myself in this match.
Yuni smiled at me when I joined them. Then he really embarrassed me instead of playing by shouting, "Here we go! This is our star, Shopie Wilonna!"
Of course Anna and the other children laughed. But their laughter soon disappeared when Yuni cut in
said Mr. Edi and announced,
"Before the game starts, I think we should take Shopie as team captain."
"You're kidding Yuni!" shouted Anna. Some kids laugh. Edi looked at me, confused.
"Our best players should be captains" Yuni said seriously. "So it's supposed to be Shopie, not me. Those who agree please raise your hand." Yuni immediately raised a hand, but the others did not.
"Why are you?" asked Anna, angry. "Well what are you, Yuni destroyed our team?"
Yuni and Anna quarrel while screaming, and Mr. Edi is forced to
separate them. Mr. Edi looked at Yuni as if he had gone mad. Then he said,
The match was really fucked. Yuni imitated everything I did. If I try to carry the ball, and stumble, Yuni will carry the ball and stumble.
If my ball throw is bad so that it can be caught by the opposing player, Yuni will also make a bad throw. When I failed to make an easy lay-up under the ring, Yuni did the same, deliberately failing to do so when he got the ball.
Failure keeps multiplying because Yuni is imitating me! And he kept clapping and screaming, cheering me on.
"Good, Shop! Nice try, Shop! You're the best, Shop!" So obnoxious!
And I could see the players of the Bumi Pertiwi school basketball team mocking us, and laughing loudly when Yuni fell down to the audience just because I had done it before.
Anna and the other players in my team don't laugh. Their faces were angry and angry.
"You're screwing up on purpose!" Anna accuses Yuni in the middle
matchment.
"No!" yuni replied furiously.
"Why do you copy the *b*billy-natured person?" I heard Anna was angry.
Yuni gripped Anna and punched her, and they immediately wrestled an exclamation on the floor while screaming and clawing. Forced Edi and the referee to separate them. The two children were given a lengthy lecture on sportsmanship and were told to
get into the changing room. Edi told me to rest and sit on the bench. I'm thrilled. I'm not excited to play.
While watching the match, I could no longer concentrate. I kept thinking about my third and final request, and how I had messed it up again. My third request, which was originally great and pleasant, is now a disaster. Really dokasa.
