One last game

One Beautiful sunny none cloudy day, I walked to work worrying about what might happen today. There have been strange happenings in the surrounding area where I work. When I walked in everyone was extremely happy. 

" Hay blaze," Neru yelled as she walked over to me, " The director wants to talk to you." 

" Ok," I said as I tilted my head, " This is unexpected." 

I walked into the director's office.

" Hello," I said with a shudder, " what did you want to talk to me about Marco?" 

He slowly glanced up at me with a glare. I was extremely scared and slunk down into the chair.  

" You know I have been keeping a close eye on you," Marco said, " You are a unique girl, some people here have known you since middle school." 

" You use to play sports didn't you," Marco said, " I can tell just by the way you work.

" Ya, but what of it." I said as I stood up.

" When I was young I use to watch sports teams." He said as he showed me the team he liked.

I was surprised to see that it was the sport that I played.

I was relieved that the conversation was friendly in nature, I was worried about being fired for some reason, the rest of the workday went on with no surprises.

As I was walking home I saw some people playing basketball, so I sat down and watched for a bit. It brought me back to the days of middle school. I was a pro basketball player but I've since retired.

" Hello, miss," the guy in front of me said, " You seem remarkably familiar. Have you played basketball before?"

I nodded my head as I turned to walk away but then I heard the group in the court playing a game. 

" Is that all you got. How can you call you guys a team?" A gruff voice said. 

I turned and walked into the court. 

" Hey," I said, " That's not how to treat a future team." 

" Beat it, missy," the bully said as he pushed me, " This isn't about you." 

" Yes it is. " someone behind me said.

I knew who it was. 

" Nate, " I said as I turned around, " You want to show them who's boss around here." 

" That's what I came here for," Nate said as he walked to the side, " I brought some friends." 

" You think they will beat me?" The bully asked. 

When the game started the bullies team got a head start but then my team took the ball and won the game in a nanosecond. Once we won Nate looked at the guys on the ground.

" Don't ever do that again." 

He nodded his head and walked away with his team and so did we.
