Chapter 123 Change in Situation 1 (1/2)
To Eva, all the people who appeared in commercials on television were artists, and Eva was very fond of theater and cinema, so now she thought her son would also be an artist.
In fact, she was not so wrong, but instead of star Jake would be a celebrity and not an artist, especially when he entered the NBA, then it would not be difficult to see Jake on television or in magazines.
But Jake could see no reason to correct her upbeat mom if she made her happy she could even tell the others that he was an actor as Kate confused him.
So after all this shaking Jake received the second news that changed things, Liza called Jake to talk after class.
”And then Liza what happened?”
”The basketball team was defeated yesterday in the third game of the national championship.”
”How did this happen?”
”Coach Philips did not want to put Harrison in the team until the end and because of that the other players who knew they could not win were in the lowest mood and did not play their best and lost.”
So Jake can understand why the team had lost that game if Harrison were on the team even if they were not champions they could get to the final at least but the coach was upsetting the team now.
So Jake cannot say anything to cheer Liza that was sad because the team had lost after all things still depended on the coach and not the players only.
After a few days, Jake's television commercial was shown for the first time and the magazine was also put up for sale, watching the magazine and television commercials still remembered Jake and liked the commercial.
And Jake was already excited again, as he was not on the team he was not too sad they lost, only felt bad for his friends, so he received a call that caught him by surprise.
”Hi Jake how long, I've seen your commercial and you in the magazine is getting famous now is not it.”
”It's been a long time, Eric, did I even forget about you after these two years, being very successful there in the NBA?”
”Yes, things have worked out for me here, I'm thinking of re-tracking some high school team games next season, but and you, as you missed after the third game only.”
”I do not lose a game since the second year of Middle School stops telling lies.”
”But I saw that the Elite High School basketball team had been eliminated yesterday, I thought that after winning last year something was really wrong, is this news wrong?”
”No, the news is right, but I have not been playing in the Elite team since the national middle school championship.”
”How is this possible? Are you injured or are you in another school?”
”No, I'm still in Elite school, but the coach did some things that kept me from playing for these two years, so I'm training.”
”With this it is possible! This coach is blind, and how could they win without you on the team last year?”
”Last year the team still had the players who were champions before, they won for 2 straight years and then went to university.”
”So that's it, what's the name of this coach of your team right now.”
”Coach Philips, he trained a team from a university and made it to the final, so after winning the national championship for 2 years he has every confidence of the school.”
Eric felt that he had already heard of the name of this trainer, he hung up the phone after saying goodbye to Jake and went to do his research, his journalistic senses said that there was something more in this story.
Jake thought there was nothing too much and just kept going his days normally, but with all these things going on in the last few weeks he'd completely forgotten to call Jenny.
Jenny thought she was being ignored on purpose and stopped caring about Jake, she decided that she would stop thinking about him and forget him when she decided that she saw the commercial on television that Jake appeared, so she realized that it would be more difficult than she thought.
On the weekend as always Jake and Eva went to Anna's cooking classes and after class went to her house, getting there Jake told the two what was happening on the basketball team.
