The whistle for the third quarter blared and the game began. Throughout the game, Tyler and Jackson had been the ones giving them threats and pressuring them. So it would be normal if the players of Sky Hills high put more effort into restraining these two players. However, they didn't do that. Logan ran towards the hoop and suddenly stopped to give instructions to his teammates, however, he got double-teamed by Harris and Luke. Tyler who had the ball pushed forward and passed to Jackson, who was about to receive the ball but it got stolen by Callum. The latter smiled as he passed Jackson by while performing high bounces as he rushed to the opponent’s hoop. Collins stopped him but the latter had the advantage in speed and agility. Collins was a center, but he wasn’t exactly a weak one. Instead, his agility was just lacking a bit. His strength though, could match that of Alexander. Callum did a crossover dribble and Collins fell for it. Going past Elian Comprehensive high’s line
The match finally came to an end, with Elian Comprehensive high emerging victorious with 73 points while Sky Hills high had 19 points. Alexander was so shaken that he dropped to the ground on his knees when the game ended. They already lost their will to win on the third quarter. All they just wanted to do was to not make the distance in their scores not too wide, so as not to get too embarrassed. Even then, after playing basketball for three years, he has never seen a team with this much understanding and cohesion between them. Their teamwork was just to tight, and their methods were extraordinary. Logan and his team cheered for themselves as they were happy that they won. Well, Leo and the remaining third year students weren’t all too excited, and they maintained their cool head. According to Mrs. Hale, Elian Comprehensive would have no problem against the school’s like Sky Hills High, Bennighton Academy, and St. Peter’s High school, as their team was much more stronger. Eve
Staring out the window and watching as the trees were passing by, Leo couldn’t help but think of the things he was leaving behind. His friends, his love, his home. “I’ll be back… I promise I’ll be back.” Leo said to himself. Since Leo had lost both parents and he wasn’t finished with high school yet, he had to go with his aunt, Molly, to Sky hills. There, he would have a new life. Before leaving, he swore to Tracy that he would return to Sunshine city.The journey was a bit of a long one. It was actually just a five-hour drive, but to Leo, it felt like a whole day. He would occasionally pick up his phone and play games, but he wasn’t in a good mood to play much so he just decided to read a book which was based on gene improvement instead. He kept on reading and he was still intrigued by the book as he kept reading. This shortened the trip for him. Molly glanced at him and she smiled. ‘what a smart boy.’ She thought.Sky Hills was located on the Northern part of the country. It had som
It was already nine o’clock on a Friday morning and Leo still wasn’t up from bed, because he had slept very late the previous night. Molly wondered why he wasn’t up yet and decided to check on him. Knock! Knock! Knock! She knocked on his door but got no response from him. “Leo, wake up, breakfast is ready.” She knocked on the door again, leaning in this time to listen in, but still no response. Not waiting any longer, she pushed the door open and was a bit startled by the scene in front of her. Lying on the bed, was a sleeping Leo with books scattered around him on the bed. His laptop was still on and at the side, doing a slideshow of pictures since it hadn’t been used for a while. Leo was snoring heavily with saliva drooling from the side of his mouth. She walked closer to the bed. She picked up a book and studied it, “General understanding of quantum physics.” She said as flipped through the pages and then turned to the bed, and scanned the other books on it with her eyes.
It was a Monday morning and Leo was told to wake up early today. Since he didn’t finish his high school education in Sunshine city, he would have to continue it in Sky-hills. He had toured the city and there were three high schools at Sky Hills; Elian comprehensive School, Sky-Hills high school and Bennington Academy. Leo wasn’t actually sure which of the schools he wanted to be enrolled into so his aunt had to choose a school for him. She decided that Leo goes to Elian Comprehensive School since it was the nearest to the house and her friend happens to be the principal of the school. In terms of standard, all the schools here are basically on the same level… well, that’s what his uncle, Williams told them. They got into the car and drove off to the school. The school was very big, and had a large parking lot which had three yellow school buses lined up side by side and some different kinds of vehicles. The school had a stone platform on which the name of the school was engraved on a
Five o’clock in the evening, Leo and his aunt, Molly, were in the garage building the lightning absorber. Stretching his back and yawning, Leo said exhaustingly, “I think we should stop here for now. I’m already tired. I can come back after an hour nap,” Molly also stood up. Her apron was a bit dirty near the knees. She wore them so as not to get her dress stained. “Okay, but aren’t you a little hungry? I know I’m hungry,” Molly claimed, rubbing her groaning belly which was longing for food. Leo chuckled upon hearing her stomach. “I could actually use a snack.” Molly uttered. They covered the lightning absorber and went back into the house to get a snack. In terms of completion, the lightning absorber is thirty percent complete. Leo was still reading books on electronics and mechanics. He wanted to achieve what Michael Faraday failed to and what many scientist have failed to achieve. He has a high focusing ability which allows him to grasp knowledge faster than others… of cou
The class was a bit quiet and there was no teacher there because they had a free period. Leo was in the class reading a book on gene development by Dr. Cartel B. Jenson. Logan looked at the book and smiled. “Dr. Cartel...” He smiled. Leo looked at him, “Is a great scientist. Gene enhancement is a whole other level of science man.” “It really is. I wish I could meet the man.” Leo said, looking at the picture of the author at the back of the book. Logan suddenly looked confused. “Dude, so you don’t know?” He probed. Leo was confused and had no idea what he was talking about. “Know what?” He inquired. Logan who was reading before but dropped his book to face him. “The Hermit Research Laboratories THRL, is hosting an excursion. It has been two days now and you can still apply. He’ll be talking about his project and you can even get to see some other cool stuff.” He explained excitedly. THRL was a scientific research company which hosted various scientific project
Leo was dumbstruck as he took the card from him slowly. He was actually blushing. ‘so this is how it feels like to be acknowledged by your idol.’ He thought to himself. He could see the look of envy in Kelly’s eyes. Kelly was infuriated and she was steaming from her ears, ‘I worked so hard to get this man’s attention but you just asked a few dumb questions and you got an exclusive invitation from him!? This is not fair!’ Kelly thought as she was crying inside. She was a die-hard fan of Dr. Cartel and for that, she came all the way from Sunshine city just to meet him. Her jealousy was understandable. Dr. Rory suddenly came from nowhere and whispered something to Dr. Cartel’s ears which made him surprised. He turned to the students and he apologized. “I’m sorry I can’t get to explain further as I have something to attend to. I’ll be leaving you in Dr. Rory’s care. Bye for now.” He excused himself and walked away. Their eyes followed him and Leo could see Kelly look at Dr. Cartel w
