25 Back Home

The end of the week finally arrived, and we were finally leaving Cuba to head back to the States. We truly enjoy the vacation out there, and the experience truly opened my eyes to how unlimited my skills were to other sports. I decided to try out different games to see how it would be in the future. We boarded the plane and headed out, Rasta was sad to be leaving his girlfriend behind, but there was nothing we could do about it. She had to get her papers right and her visa.

We finally arrived at the airport and took a van home. Sandra and her family were very grateful that I was able to make this trip, and they got to know me better while we were there. Sandra's father Carlos approved of us being together, which meant that I could finally start taking trips with her out of the states. The van had dropped Sandra's family off first.I was even able to sneak a kiss to her, and we got home Flo and Opal was waiting for us and was quite jealous that they couldn't come with us, but I didn't mind them I headed to my room to unpack my stuff since I had school the next day. I was still tired from the trip, I wanted to take at least one day off, but I didn't want to ruin my perfect attendance record.The next day when I woke up, I finally had gathered all my stuff together and had arranged souvenirs and gifts for Opal and Flo. They were pretty happy to have received things from Cuba. They started asking me about what I did, but it was too early, and I told him that we'd talk after school. We went about our business getting ready for school, and the day was pretty uneventful except for that it was extremely cold outside, and I had gotten used to the heat in Cuba.I started thinking maybe I would move down south in the future, after school I had a practice where there are few players said that they've been practicing during the holidays so they wanted to challenge me to see if they could beat me. I agreed and saw them each one on one and didn't pull any punches.I used all my unlimited shots, and during that time I got a message that I truly unlocked the unlimited shots I could take and the same with the freeze so I didn't have to worry about how many perfect shots I could take any more which made me laugh like a mad man.The matches went on, and after a while, they were all driven mad because they weren't able to score a single point and they felt like they had never seen me miss before, I made up an excuse that I've been training since I came out of my mother's womb which caused them to laugh.Coach finally came out and started giving us some drills, and after practice, I let him know that I was going to start playing other sports during the off-season or sometimes even during the season until my senior year. He was worried because that would make me more run to injuries.He asked me if I would be okay with that and if it wasn't going to be too overbearing on my body, but I told him I'd be okay since I don't do much but shoot the ball so it's not going to be a problem with the other sports. I'll just try to stay away from football or maybe have smaller roles.Coach finally agreed and gave me the okay, and I asked him if he can contact all the other coaches to let them know that I like to start practicing with them, and he quickly agreed. The next day the coach went to tell the principal about how his star player wanted to play other sports. The principal was excited because he knew how good I was at basketball and wondered if I could even be just as good in other sports.He was excited to see the outcome of this test run. The coach had signed me up for track and field baseball football and soccer when he told me about it, I was completely shocked and asked him "why so many won't they all interfere with the basketball games." He quickly told me they have different schedules; the only problem is that I wouldn't be able to practice with the basketball team anymore and would just join them for the games.Since I didn't run through too much of their plays, I can just come in and score like I normally do and still win the games. I laughed at this and agreed. He gave me my schedule for the upcoming season for all sports. Football was over, and so was baseball, but indoor soccer and track and field had just started, so I'd be able to get into those before the basketball season ends.I quickly thanked Coach for the opportunity and went to notify my family about it, on my way home I had called Sandra and told her about what I was doing she was completely shocked by this and asked whether I would be okay. I reassured her that I would be okay and that I'm on a roll, so I might as well keep the ball rolling.She laughed at me and told me to be careful before hanging up the phone. When I got home, I sat everybody down, and I let them know my plans for play other sports this coming year, which shocked them and flo had a worried face on her saying that I just came back from an injury and that I shouldn't be overworking myself.I reassured her that I'd be okay, and if anything goes wrong I'll quickly quit and just stick to one sport, she was very stubborn, but she eventually agreed with it and told me to be careful like everybody else. Opal just insulted me, saying that I was just a do-gooder and was telling me just to calm down and do one sport. Still, I paid her no mind and went to do my homework after finishing my homework; I went to go work out a little bit in the basement before showering and hitting the sack.
