Married at 19 novel Chapter 6

　　My teammates and I were practicing for this upcoming tournament at the court as usual and thanks for the tips from Bella, my foot got better, it was still hurt but I still can play but not too hard.

　　"Yo Nathan!" Henry who was gasping for air called for me.

　　"What's up dude?" I replied to him why giving him a fist bump.

　　"I just want to remind you that the tournament will be in this weekend. So you need to be prepare."

　　I knit one of my eyebrow. "But I thought that it will be held next week."

　　"Oh...that's weird. But just now Mr Goodman said that the tournament will be on this weekend." He insisted.

　　"For real?"

　　He nodded for several times. "Yeah."

　　"But my foot still not fully recovery yet. How am I supposed to play?" I pointed to my foot that was properly bandage by my friend, Bella.

　　He smiled along with a thumb up, "Don't worry Nathan. I'll cover for you!"

　　I scoffs, "No dude...You're a bad...I mean you're too expert, Henry...so Mr Goodman might not let you play so hard in the game." I just made it up. The truth is...Henry is a very terrible player. But Mr Goodman likes him so much, so he wouldn't kick him out of the team.

　　"Oh...that's right. So what should we do?"

　　"I can play...but not too hard. Or my foot will swollen again."

　　He patted on my shoulder, "Don't worry, Nathan. You have the teammates that can help you in the game."

　　For the first time, I agreed what he has said to me. He's right...my teammates will cover it for me, and I'll just wait for them to pass me the ball and shoot for the 3 pointers whenever I have chances. That's my speciality.

　　It was 11.00 pm and I wasn’t sleepy yet. I just really missed my parents and I hope they will be fine with their trip to New York. I grabbed my phone from my bed and called my mom but it went straight to her voice mail.

　　"Hey mom...if you ever receive this voicemail, I just want to tell you that I have a tournament this weekend. I think I can't meet you both at the airport. Sorry for that...love you both so much." I jump onto my bed after I hung the call.
