Chapter 77 Walking Back to Top 4 (1/2)

”I told you that you did not need to be worried until near the national championship mother.”

”That's impossible my son, mothers will always care about their children, even later when you grow up I will still be worried, but do not worry, I get anxious as fan cheers for your team, only that my team is you.”

Jake understood a little what his mother meant, himself after he discovered what he had lost when he saw his mother dying in his past life now that he had a second chance Jake always paid attention to his mother even when he knew she was fine.

The only difference was that Eva did not need to see Jake die once to have this concern, this was the love of a mother that all mothers should have, it was also to be the love of a son for his parents, or for his brothers, but the shame and clumsiness ends up driving people away.

At school somehow it seems that some teachers who still had problems with Jake had somehow figured out what Jake and the school were trying to hide, that it was Jake having some kind of contract with the school and that Jake also gets for it.

Although this type of contract was not illegal, it was still somewhat immoral, because it was not supposed to be done by a school, something with the Elite school made it practically 'hire' Jake to move and play at that school.

Although they only discovered parts of the contract, what they discovered was the part Jake had accepted that while the school wanted and paid for it, Jake would not leave school until he got to college.

Jake accepted this clause because he understood that the school did not want him to change to another when he was in high school and was at his peak in basketball after they had paid him before.

And Jake also wanted to stay in this school until the end to receive a recommendation for the university, so of course, he would not want to leave.

But the teachers would misunderstand this and knew the personality of the school principal who was also a known shareholder of the president, the principal took care of the behavior of all the 'school staff', and now, in a way, Jake was also an 'official' ' from school.

So after the Elite team that Jake was winning the regional championship, they would ask him to hold a meeting to correct Jake's posture in class, claiming that he disrespected the teachers and bothered the students.

Jake, not knowing what new unexpected problems were coming up, was doing some more training with his team before the regional championship final.

Although he thought this would be an easy game he did not want his whole team caught off guard and ended up losing the game, so during the week besides training the coordination with his teammates Jake also checked his conditions to see if they were ready to the game.

In a young team such as Jake's, it was difficult for some injuries to happen, even if they hurt themselves in some game or training as long as it was not serious they would be good again in a week.

Everyone like Jake was very confident, his team was doing very well and so the players were happy with their results and had higher hopes of winning the national championship that year.

As the days went by and soon came the day of the final, Jake left early from his home with his mother who could see the game today as it was a final.

The grandstand today was fuller than usual and many reporters had also come to check whether Jake who had been the MVP last year could win yet again.

Clara and Tiffany said they could not come, the business was improving and so they decided to make a bigger investment, they were building some new factories and expanding the business further.

Since this was a school championship Jake also could not use any materials that could make a good advertisement, so besides Eric, many would not notice until later if it was published in the newspaper.

So a while later, the game of the final started again, Jake still remembered that it had been a rather complicated game against the Tigers team last year, but could not know just for that, after all, many players who were in the year past have already been to high school.
