Excerpt:
Minutes dwindled to seconds, shedding themselves from the clock until the buzzer shrilled zero.
The basketball hanging in the air, hit the backboard before settling into the basket with a gentle, silence-piercing swoosh. I raised the blue and gold pom-poms over my head, screaming at the top of my lungs and reveling in the fact that Patterson High Knight’s varsity basketball team had just won their third consecutive state championship, by only one point no less.
The pounding footfalls on the wood bleachers resonated behind me. The crowd rushed the court, cheering and yelling at the top of their lungs. Celebratory music played over the loudspeaker and matched the pace of my racing heartbeat.
Standing in the center of it all was Patterson High’s all-star basketball player, my sometimes archnemesis, and my twin brother Kyle’s jerk of a best friend, Sebastian “Bass” Birch. He threw me a playful smirk as the mayhem enveloped him and the rest of the team.
It took a few minutes for the chaos to subside and the immediate area to clear. Once everyone returned to their seats, the state officials handed out the trophies to each of the ten players. I stood at the sidelines, my iPhone in hand, taking pictures of the momentous occasion along with everyone else.
The announcer called out over the loudspeaker, “This year’s state championship MVP is… Kyle Ryan.”
My brother’s hazel eyes stretched, a look of feigned shock etched his expression. I rolled my eyes at the ridiculousness of this entire ceremony. Every single game, the title of most valuable player either went to Kyle or Sebastian. So this here was no big surprise to anyone, let alone him. But he just had to play it up anyway.
