The First Pick

Chapter 1

Once upon a time, there were 2 children living in the same neighborhood, their names were Gabriel Sanchez and Kyle Lawson. Gabriel grew up poor, with little to no money to their names. They often had to switch apartments from time to time. The only thing Gabriel could do was practice and play the game he loved, basketball. On the other hand, Kyle was filthy rich. He had 6 luxury cars and 3 mansions. He wouldn't practice at all because he had a god-gifted talent for basketball. 

One day, Gabriel and Kyle met in tryouts for their elementary school team, which Gabriel had to walk for 2 hours just to get there. They both really wanted a spot on that team, because if that team won the championship, they'd be prospects for the IBL.

"*WHISTLE BLOWS*

Coach: Hey, you guys are here for the tryouts right?

*they all nod*

Coach P: Hello team, i'm Coach P, your coach for today, and if your lucky enough, coach for the school year 

Coach P: So why don't you guys introduce yourselves?

Gabriel: Hello, i'm Gabriel Sanchez, i'm from the Philippines.

Kyle: Boring!

Coach P: Hey, Kyle, watch your words, i know your parents sponsor the school but you cant have a bad attitude around here.

"*whistle blows*" BASELINE, NOW!

Coach P: IF SOMEONE GETS A PUNISHMENT, EVERYONE GETS A PUNISHMENT.

"the team mumbles something about blaming kyle"

Coach P: I HEARD THAT, 4 WALLS FOR ALL OF YOU.

"the team groans"

Coach P: READY?

"*WHISTLE BLOWS*"

After training, the boys are exhausted, but the roster is announced

Coach P: Boys, i have decided who to put on our team, but if you are not selected, it's ok, work harder and maybe next time we will pick you

"Coach P selects them, but Kyle's name wasn't called"

Kyle: He-Hey coach? My name wasn't called, did you forget me?

Coach P: No i didn't forget you Kyle, i didn't pick you to be on the team

Kyle: THIS IS BOGUS! I'VE BEEN TRAINING MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS, HOW DARE YOU NOT PICK ME. THIS ISN'T FAIR! IM TELLING MY PARENTS!

Coach P: Do all of that and i'm still not putting you on the team, now pick up your ball and get your arrogant little self OUT OF HERE.

"after a few moments, Kyle finally leaves."

Coach P: Don't mind that, those people will bring this team down. Get some rest and eat.

"After the tryouts, the team goes out to Wrapped, a local burrito place owned by Gabriel's parents"

Kyle: He-hey guys, can i join you?

"The team looks at him with disgust, they walk away"

Kyle: GUYS, ITS NOT MY FAULT FOR GIVING US 4 WALLS

Gabriel: Get out before i call security to kick you out.

"Kyle walks out"

Gabriel: Sorry about that, speaking of which, I never got to know you guys.

Boyce: Sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Boyce.

Victor: Sorry about that too, I'm Victor.

"turn after turn, they each got to know each other"

Gabriel: Dang, it's already 8:00? We have mid terms tomorrow, better get going

Victor: WE HAVE MID TERMS TOMORROW?

Gabriel: Yeah, Mr. Davidson announced it last Friday, when you were in the restroom doomscrolling because you forgot you were in school.

"the team laughs"

Victor: Oh yeah, you still remember that?

Gabriel: Dawg, it was last Friday, how could i not forget that!

Victor: Yeah, anyways, I better get going, See you tomorrow guys!

"the team exchanged their goodbyes, and soon they went their different ways."

"Meanwhile, Kyle was pissed because he didn't make the team because of his attitude. He called it the Upset of 26."

Kyle's Mom: Hey sweetie, you seem so off today, you didn't eat your ostrich based egg in your 24 karat gold plate. What's wrong?

Kyle: I didn't make the team Mom, coach didn't put me on because of bad attitude or something like that.

Kyle's Dad: Well i'll be damned, I thought you were the next best thing after LeBron. Don't listen to Coach P, he may have averaged 30 in his senior year, but he's a terrible coach.

Kyle: Thanks dad, i needed that.

Kyle's Mom: Well it's already 6:45 and the bus picks you up at 7, you better get going!

Kyle: Ok mom.
