Chapter 103 A Difficult Beginning 2 (1/2)

Jake was being honest with Joseph, although after his accident he had closed the doors of his heart to the novel, Jake came from a time when women sought the same rights as men.

So those conventions that were once more commonplace that Joseph thought was right did not exist anymore if women liked someone they would go and take the initiative.

Jake found this very cool, perhaps because he was raised by Eve alone, he was someone who recognized the strengths of women in society and supported women to have the same rights as men.

Although this was a normal conversation about 2020 in the 1990s was something people were not accustomed to openly talk about.

After Jake stopped talking because the class was about to start and he did not want to bring a bad first impression to his teachers, looking around at his classmates, Jake realized he had almost no students he studied at Middle School.

That was a good thing, his colleagues tended to ignore him because of the issues with the teachers and he wanted to start over again.

So after a while the first teacher came in and started giving the class normally, sometimes asked questions for the students and even for Jake, it was a normal attitude not like it was last year.

And all the teachers of the day were like that, Jake still read his books sometimes and paid attention to the teacher when he came up with an issue that he did not know, so there was a good atmosphere in the classroom as he wanted last year.

As the teachers already knew how Jake was and also knew that he did not do it to disrupt the class and even had the best grades, the teachers did not care much, and without prejudice, they realized that everything was fine with Jake being so in the room class.

So Jake was in a good mood for the school to take the test to join the basketball team, this time he was not the first, but neither was the last one, he greeted his old teammates last year.

Everyone seemed to be in pretty good moods and more mature than last year, they were all pretty embarrassed and grateful Jake and Coach Mike never said anything about the fiasco that was their game in the final of the national championship.

Jake from last year was keeping a low profile, he knew that this year's high school basketball team was the same as last season's champion, and Jake also knew that in addition to his ability to shoot 2 and 3 and in Free Throw he was inferior to the elders.

The players who were on the team before also looked at the new players strangely, they knew that this team just as they won the national championship only in Middle School, it was normal that they wanted a chance to play in high school as well.

Even though they were not that worried, it was impossible for the coach to put someone from the first year to replace the champions of last year, so that year at least their starting position was theirs.

Even knowing that it was impossible for everyone to become friends and just talk as if nothing had happened and they were not playing the same places in the starting team.

Jake and his colleagues who entered now for the high school team were really looking at the starters who were last year's champions with challenging looks, they had a lot of respect but also had a lot of confidence that could be the starters too, after all, they are the best of their age in basketball.

After a few minutes a girl appeared, it was someone no one in that block knew, Jake saw this and was curious, if not even the players last year knew this girl means that she was new as well as they, in addition, Jake saw that this girl must be her age or be only 1 year older than him.

This girl had some towels in her hand and stood in the middle of the court, after a few minutes the coach entered, all the older players had a look of respect when they looked at him.

Jake now knew who was the coach of the high school basketball team that made him so curious before he was called coach Philips and second Jake knew the coach Philips trained for a few years a team that reached the finals of the national basketball championship at university.

So Jake had to admit that this trainer was more qualified than the trained Mike to train the high school team, it was that same coach who chose all the players who formed the team that was champion last year, so it was normal that the players more old people respected him.
