Chapter 76 Walking Back to Top 3 (1/2)

There was only one thing Jake did not expect to happen this week.

Teachers have long disliked their attitude in the classroom because Jake always reads other books, even if he answered all the questions correctly they still bothered about it.

So Jake hoped that after doing his first test at this school and getting the maximum grade the teachers would understand that he was different and then they would stop caring about him, he did not want special treatment, but only that they did not bother him.

But that did not happen, the teachers seemed more bothered by the fact that he took the maximum mark and although they did not bother him in class, his attitudes with him got worse and worse.

What Jake did not know was that they were bothered by sheer prejudice, the teachers received information that Jake came from a public school and had only gotten a scholarship to study at his high school for his sports skills.

So first they were already irritated by having a weaker student who would hinder the rest of the class and promised to keep an eye out to see if Jake did anything different that would bother the other students and thus complain to the school board.

As they waited in the first week of school Jake had not paid attention in class and just kept reading books about something else, teachers were more annoyed by a student who was weaker than the other classmates did not pay attention in class.

So they were determined to find out what book Jake was reading and pass it to the board complaining, but when they saw which books they realized they could not use a language book and an advanced study book to complain about a student who could not study.

So they thought that even if the books were not harmful they still would not let him watch the classes so they would ask several difficult questions by the time he was wrong they could complain.

But Jake answered all the questions including what they did about things that were not even taught in class, as well as the last resort they could only let Jake read his books and when he was poor in the tests or a little below the average they would complain.

But Jake eventually sorted out all the test questions and so he had proved that he was better than the whole class, but the teachers still focused irritably because it seemed like he was belittling their classes because he already knew too much.

Which meant that the teachers were shifting their prejudices to Jake being the wrong one, forgetting that the problem at the beginning was whether Jake might or might not be on the same educational level as his peers which he proved to be up to.

If the teachers had only waited after having the first prejudice and waited to see what was going to happen none of this would have happened and they might even like Jake more because he was the smartest in his class.

But their pride has disrupted their judgment and they will always have a more negative view of Jake.

But that was something Jake did not know and even if he knew he would have nothing to do about it, he was just thinking about the regional championship final that would happen after the fourth game that they should win.

The fourth game also had a weak opponent, they seemed scared and prepared for defeat the moment they faced Jake's team, they knew most of Jake who had been the MVP of the state championship.

It was normal to see skilled players who had great talent and who dominated the trophies of the championships in 2 years until moving to another level.

And so it was an even easier game than the last ones, everyone always kept in good shape and they were always stable in their performances on the court, and with Jake organizing the whole team, all his teammates had only to think about defending and then scoring points.

After seeing some of Jake's games, coach Mike finally realized because everyone said that Jake controlled the team and took the coach's place, that was wrong and it was just something that happened on the court for his ability as a PG and captain, what happened, in fact, it was something else.

In all pre-game training and over the weeks Coach Mike trained and prepared the players, they trained various formations and tactics along with the positioning to make the plays well.

And what Jake did was learn all that the coach trained and prepared throughout the week and organize the team with their signs during the games on the court.
