Chapter 88 An Animated Party 3 (1/2)
As he spent the end of the year with his mother staring at the snow through the hotel window, Jake could not help but think again about how different it was to take a trip alone and go on a trip together.
He could enjoy much more of the places he visited last time and also leave some of the script planned to visit places he had no desire to visit before.
Although Jake returned almost three years ago in the past thanks to fate and knowing that this was not a dream and what was really happening, he could not help but be nostalgic and comparing the two lives on commemorative days like this.
On days like this Jake was afraid to even sleep at the end of the night and wake up alone and without his mother, without his legs and discover that all this was a dream.
Jake had this fear because he lived over 40 years used to a life where things never worked out that way for long when things started to get good bad things happened.
Even though he had to accept this new reality and stop always waiting when something bad would happen, he hoped it would never happen, that he could always see his mother every day with a smile on his face.
The other day in the morning he continued his trip to the last stop Paris, they would visit as many places as they could and spend Jake's birthday here.
They visited many places on this trip through Paris such as the beautiful BasÃlica du Sacré-Coeu, Paris Museum Louvre which is the most important museum in the world, Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral and also, of course, the Eiffel Tower.
So in this beautiful place Jake completed his thirteenth birthday, it was the second time he was that age, but this time everything seemed more special and different.
It was strange what he was feeling, maybe just people who had a second chance as he might know what that feeling was, after all to Jake everything he was living now, being with his mother again was a kind of miracle.
So after celebrating a lot with their mother on the day of their birthday, they spent a few more days in France and then bid farewell to their second wonderful trip and voted home full of beautiful memories.
The second half would already start and Jake also had the national championship to worry about now, that would be his most memorable memory of all Middle School if he could win that national championship.
Jake even thought it funny how he thought at the outset that he did not think it would be worth playing at his school team and that the school championships would be very easy to beat, he just decided to join the basketball team to have experiences in playing with teammates of team that was something that Jake could not learn alone.
But now a few years later here he was so excited about the possibility of winning a school league, that was the beauty of life, just living things you can know if it is important or not, so you should not judge others just by looking out.
After his relaxing holiday trip, Jake was excited to start the national championship, but not all his team was so, coach Mike who was the person who had the biggest responsibility with the school to bring over this trophy to school was too anxious
He can bring together four of Jake's teammates who were in town during the holidays and also wanted to train more to be able to improve even a little for the start of the national championship games.
And after almost a month of training, he had a slight improvement that increased their confidence a bit, yet everyone was stressed with the national championship that would start shortly.
When Jake returned to train with the team after the start of classes for the next few weeks that would be the first game, the whole team could relax more of their tension when they saw that their captain was so calm and confident for the games.
Coach Mike also calmed down and internally praised Jake's confidence in his teammates, everyone in this team recognized Jake as the natural leader of the team after just over 6 months together, this was not something that could be achieved to be a certain charisma.
