On the last day of summer where every student is taking a break from school and is relaxing in their homes or going out with their friends, this might seem the only logical thing to do in summer, take a break and relax, but there's an exception though.
On a park, in a very hot afternoon, where everyone think it would be empty, they are wrong. Shouts can be heard here and their and cheers will deafen your ear.
"Pass me the ball dammit! I'm free here!" A kid shouted as he went past his defender from the 3 point line and going straight to the rim, his defender seeing this immediately tried to follow him and stopping anything that he plans.
"Dammit Mur! Can't you see that I'm pinned!" Someone shouted, he was the one dribbling the ball, but seeing his friend not willing to listen to him, he gave up on the thought that his friend is going to help him and instantly thought of various move's to escape his own defender.
"Dammit, here goes nothing" he grunted, he started forcing his way to the right side of the court, sensing his futile attempt, his defender tightened his defense and placed himself to the right side to stop the advance.
Seeing this the one dribbling the ball did a cross over instantly creating a small distance between him and his defender, but it's all for nothing as his defender already expected his move and instantly did a leap towards him covering the whole distance.
"Fuck!" He shouted, seeing as he had no more space to do anything he jumped and goes into a shooting form, seeing this he's defender immediately jumped too to cover and block the shot.
The guy who had the ball smirked, "Dimwit", he whispered, after he's defender jumped on him and both of them in the air, he changed his grip on the ball and did a chest throw on the ground below the defenders feet.
'What the fuck!?' The defender thought as he looked at the ball go below his feet.
"Nice pass Mark!" Mur shouted, as he catch the ball and did a layup, as Mur's defender can only watch behind him because he can't do anything at that point as he was too late to catch up, "And a bucket!" Mur shouted.
Turns out that Mark's intention wasn't to shoot the ball, he only made it to look like he's going to shoot the ball when right from the start it was a pass meant to Mur all along.
"That makes it 12-10 right?" Mur asked. "Yep, we won so pay up." Mark said to their opponents. "Dammit!" Their opponents grunted while unhappily giving their money. After a few minutes pass, only Mur's team were left on the park as they decided to rest and relax for a while before going home.
"Hahahahaha!! Another win, another kaching!" Mur said while grinning and counting his share on the money they had just won.
"Yeah, yeah but damn was that hard, especially the last play, you requested a hard play you dumbass, I was pinned there, I could've lost the damn ball!" he said while glaring at Mur. "Hahaha but you did it though, and it's you, I trust you." Mur rebated to Mark.
"Fine, fine but it would've went easier if a tall guy helped me and did a screen so I could escape instead of just standing in the corner like a dang mushroom, right Clyde?" Mark complained while resting at the bench. "Sorry, I didn't know what to do, and I'm scared cause the guy defending me looked like God created him when his drunk." Clyde said while making weird faces and remembering his defender.
"Yeah it's fine, it's done anyways so give us some slack Mark." Mur said to Mark. "Fine, let me just relax a bit." Mark said as he rested at the bench and fully relaxing his whole body.
"Oh yeah I'm going home now gaiz, I need to prepare my school things for tomorrow." Mark said to both of them as he packed his things and prepared his bag.
"You still haven't prepared? Anyways sure go now, I'm still going to relax here for a bit, I'm sore all over." Mark said to Mur while gesturing for him to leave.
"Ok, take care Mur." Clyde said to him while also preparing his things to go home.
"Ok , see you gaiz tomorrow at school!" Said Mur as he waved them goodbye and got on in his way to his home.
After a few minutes of walking, Mur finally got home. "Mom! Im home!" Mur shouted as he putted his shoes aside.
"Welcome home honey, go eat your snacks in the table before they go cold" his mom said to Mur, as she was behind the kitchen still making a new and fresh batch of baked cookies for Mur's dad and little sister.
"Ok, mom!" He said as he was walking towards the dining area. He walked towards the kitchen and kissed his mom in the forehead before heading to the table and there he ate the cookies.
After a few minutes of eating while watching the tv, he finally finished all the cookies. "Mom, im done!" Mur shouted to his mom. "Ok dear, just put the plate there and i will do the rest." His mom said. "Ok mom thanks! I will go to my room and fix my things for school." he said while cleaning the mess he did on the table, and after he's done, he immediately got upstairs to his room.
In his room Mur prepared all the things he would need for school tomorrow, and after he did those he went to bed with headphones to go relax, and after that he slept.
The next morning, Mur woke up and prepared himself for school, and after that he went downstairs to eat breakfast.
On the dining area he saw his Mom behind the kitchen preparing the breakfast, Dad on the table reading news paper in a formal attire ready to go to his work and his Little sister in front of the tv watching her show.
"Good morning dad!" He said to his dad first as his dad is the closest to him. In response to him, Mur's dad smiled at him "Goodmorning too Mur, goodluck to your first day".
"Thanks dad!" Mur responded, after that he went to the kitchen towards his mom and said their good mornings to each other and kissed his mom in the forehead.
After that he went towards his little sis watching the tv. "No goodmorning to your bro? Seiya?" Mur asked. "Yeah, yeah sure, i will if you get a girl friend" Seiya mockingly replied while smirking to Mur.
Both of them laughed it off and after that they all went to eat their breakfast, and went on to continue their day.
Mur is on his way to his new school on his bike since its only a 20 minute bike ride from his home to his new school, Havenbridge Academy. And the scenery is good on his way their thats why he chose to ride a bike rather than having his dad driving him just like his little sister.
Havenbridge academy is a famous and powerful school around their place especially in sports. Havenbridge Academy has a variety of sports their student could choose from since it supports all most all kind of sports there is. Havenbridge athletes are also contenders and heavy favorite in regionals and sometimes Havenbridge Academy produce a state champion team or individual.
"So this is Havenbridge huh.. So fucking big!" Mur exclaimed as he arrived in front of the gates of Havenbridge Academy. Mur parked his bike on the parking lot meant for the bikes and walk on the campus to find his room.
"Dang big ass school, where the fuck am i?" As Mur continued to find his way to his room, he is in awe in the scenery of his new school. Big buildings, parking lots, security guards, track and field, football field, gym, long hallways,and many other parts of his school he still yet to see. "So this is a high end school, so damn cool!" Mur stated.
Mur is no new in this kind of vibe the school is giving since he came from a school which is a pretty good private school too in their neighborhood. Mur's family is also rich thats why his parents can support him going in an expensive and luxurious school since his dad is an engineer and his mom was a doctor before but already retired and is now managing their restaurant. But despite their background, Mur didn't let it affect on how he sees things, he still valued money and pursued knowledge thats why Mur was able to get a scholarship in Havenbridge Academy.
"Ah found it." After minutes of walking that seemed like hours for Mur he finally found his classroom, 1 - A.
After he opened the sliding door, what greeted him was people that is his classmates that is already seated in their chair of their own choosing, some is chatting with others, some sleeping, while some is playing games on their phone. Mur walked in and found himself a seat in the front row in the far right of the room. Sensing that no one payed any attention to him nor anyone that wants to talk, Mur just got his phone and played some games.
After a few minutes pass by, one classmate after another showed up, some knows someone and immediately talked to them while some simply picked a chair and went to sleep or use their phone.
Few minutes gone by again and someone opened the door but this time he stood their for a few seconds making everybody quiet and stare at him. After a few seconds he finally moved and walked towards the table at the front of the classroom.
" Hi class, i will be your adviser for this class for the rest of the year, I am Michael Nirkitz, pleasure to meet you."
Said the man in front of the class.
The man in front of them stood about 6'8 which is incredibly tall, a blonde hair in a bun style, a sharp jaw, a face like a model that has aged, a glasses, and an incredibly sharp eyes.
'Wow crazy aura' Mur thought.
After hearing what their teacher has said, everyone immediately gone into their respected seats and tidied themself.
" So i will be teaching you class history all throughout the year. Your program for today is to just meet your teachers and hear some clubs trying to recruit some more members, other than that you are free to do whatever you like, but please do not and YOU SHALL NOT break any school rules, that will be all." Said their teacher.
After their teachers remark, the atmosphere in the room is heavy and the silence was so loud, it could deafen someone.
After a while their teacher finally broke the unbearable silence.
"Well since i won't be teaching today lets start with an introduce yourself. Let's start at the front." Their teacher said while gesturing for Mur to stand up and start.
Seeing his teacher, Mur stood up from his chair, and looked at everyone. Mur is quite tall for his age standing at 5'10 thats why everyone is really looking up to him quite literally.
"I'm Murkey D. Monte, I'm 15 years old, my favorite color is red and lets see, what else... I wanna be a doctor. That would be all, thanks, pleasure to meet all of you!"
'Wow.... So simple introduction' everyone thought.
After Mur did his introduction the rest of the class continued one after another.
After everyone got their turns and everybody in the class is done in their introductions someone knocked on the door.
"Hi sir, sorry to disrupt your class but may we introduce our club? It will only take a couple minutes." A tall girl standing at 5'8 said with 2 other members behind her.
"Sure i don't mind, ok class listen to them while they make their speech." Teacher Michael replied as he went back and stood at the back of the class.
After the affirmation, the 3 visitors got onto the front and stood behind the teachers table.
"So hi class 1 - A, I am Aliyah a 3rd year here at Havenbridge Academy, and we are a member of the fencing team!" the girl said and exclaimed to the class, she is also the same one that asked the permission to sir Michael.
"So our fencing team is pretty new, we have only been around for 4 years now but don't underestimate us because we are a pretty young team, for the past 4 years we have been the champion for 2 regionals and participated twice in the state championships. Our fencing club is welcoming anyone that is willing to join, with or without experience. We are located at the second gymnasium and you can come there whenever your free and sign up and we will just be announcing the next meeting. That would be all, thank you sir for the time!" The Man beside Aliyah said.
"No worries." Sir Michael said.
After their speech the fencing team left the room.
"So that would be all for my time class, be good to your other teachers and welcome the rest of the club that will try recruiting you. Goodbye."
"Goodbye sir!" the class responded.
After their teacher left them, some of the class chattered about what just happened.
"Did you see that tall girl? Aliyah was it? Shes totally my type dude!"
"That girls is my girl crush!"
"She was tall too."
"Fencing sounds fun, i think I'll try."
The day went by just like that, teachers introduced themself and their subjects and students in Mur's class repeatedly introduced themself. And clubs after clubs went to their room to try and find some potential new members.
At the end of the day, at the last subject.
'What the fuck??? Its the last sub but i still didn't hear anything about the basketball team.' Mur panicked.
As Mur was panicking someone knocked on the door and opened it.
Everyone looked at the person who opened the door and their eyes bulged and their jaws wide open.
They saw 2 people behind their doors. The one that opened the door was a giant man standing at 6'9, curly black hair, with his mask and white jacket on that says Havenbridge Academy on the lower left of it and the other person that they saw was a handsome man with short hair that stands at 6'4 and with a smile that can make all fair ladies faint.
"Hi mam good aftie, could we take a little bit of your time?" The masked giant man asked.
"Sure no problem." The teacher responded.
As the 2 man went to the table, they all gathered everyones attention without even needing to say a word.
"So hi, we are the volleyball team, I am leonard, the vice captain. I am here to invite you guys to sign up for the team, we are located at the first gymnasium, its the big building right next to the track and field. That'll be all thanks."
'Eh?... Thats all??... How plain.' Everyone thought as they watched the 2 man leave their room.
As the school hour ended and everyone is on their way home, Mur is looking distressed and seem to be on deep thought.
As he was walking he is joined up by 2 other people.
"Yo, Mur!" Mark said.
"Heya Mark you too clyde." Mur replied.
"Why so deep in thought? A girl??? Hahahahahha!" Noticing Mur's weird face, clyde mocked him.
"Oh shut it! I'm thinking about the reason as to why the basketball club didn't show up for recruiting." Mur shared to the 2 of them.
"Maybe because theres too many classrooms and too little time? Maybe they'll do it tomorrow." Clyde replied.
"Oh yeah, didn't think of that!"
"Huh? What u guys talking about, they wont recruit anyone." Mark butted in.
"What?"
"Why?"
"Simple, cause they already did!"
"Huh? But they didn't!!??" Mur shouted.
"Idiot, Of course they won't do room to room recruitment, they only invite players that they want, meaning they dont hold try outs, what makes you think they do room to room? This is Havenbridge, they're basketball team has always been a contender for the state championship, that means they only take recommendations." Mark explained.
"Whatt???????? Then what the fuck should i do?" Mur said.
"I dunno." Mark nonchalantly said.
"Ack, my dreams are destroyed!" Mur said as he jokingly put both his hands to his left chest and did a pained face.
Mur is a pretty strong basketball player but if he is faced with a real basketball varsity with real training then he will just be destroyed. And Mur only do basketball to pass time thats why he's only a little hurt despite hearing what Mark had said.
"Why not join me then?" Clyde asked.
"Im joing the volleyball club." He added.
"Oh yeah, you do play volley, but i don't know a thing about that though." Mur said to Clyde.
"Its fine, they take anyone willing to join."
"How bout it Marky? Lets join, it sounds fun!" Mur said.
"Huh why am i being dragged into this?" Mark replied.
"Oh come on, lets try it besides Clyde's here to teach us a thing or 2."
"Yeah, it'll be fun" clyde said.
"Yeah sure, im bored anyways."
"Ok, that settles it."
After they talk the 3 boys said there fairwells and got to their respected homes.
