Chapter 125 Change in Situation 3 (1/2)

”Mr. President I have an idea now that the school does not have a coach for the high school team and will have to look for someone qualified, why not promote coach Mike from the Middle School team? I think he's capable enough to get the job done and then looking for someone capable of training the Middle School team should be easier.”

The president hoped Jake would ask for many different things in his mind, the president even told Jake that he would ask him a lot of money, but he never expected Jake's request to be something that could benefit the school, not him.

”Then this is agreed, coach Mike will be promoted at the beginning of next semester.”

So Jake was pleased with this, there were not many things he needed the president to give if he needed the money he could just sell some of his stock and he would have a lot, but what Jake cared most about was being able to play basketball in the next semester.

So he could not risk the school hiring another crazy coach and he could not play in the season to see, so he remembered Coach Mike that Jake thought he had the ability to train the high school team if it were coach Mike he would have sure to be put to play.

After everything was settled Jake went home and told about his conversation with the president to his mother, so Eva said she agreed that Jake had made the right decision to stay in that school waiting to be able to play.

So Jake could sleep soundly for the first time in a long time because now he had no more trouble to worry about.

On these holidays Jake wanted to just train and rest a lot because he would have to play early next semester, but Clara did not know that and called Jake.

”Hi Jake, I remember you told me you were always looking for tournaments to play, but could not find any?”

”Yes, indeed, Clara.”

He said so himself, but it was when he knew he could not play on the school basketball team, but he could not tell Clara that he seemed to be doing it for him.

”I've heard that there's going to be a tournament in Miami in two weeks, I do not know who's organizing it more, it's a 3-on-3 tournament, not like the ones you've played, so you need to find two more people to play, too it seemed that the age limit is under 18 so you can play with older players.”

So Jake was excited, it had been a long time since he wanted to play against people older than him again, so he would try to call some players from his school team to see them go.

”Thanks for letting Clara know, I'll go get some of my classmates from school and see if they'll join me.”

”Alright then, this tournament is just for fun so you do not have to wear the uniform with the company brand if you do not want to.”

”Alright, thanks again.”

So Jake hung up the phone and soon called Mark, he always had the numbers of his teammates, but he never went to call if it was not for something important.

”Hi Mark, this is Jake.”

”Hi Jake, how long, I thought you had forgotten if your teammates, we have not talked for nearly two years.”

”I told you that I do not like to talk on the phone for anything, I wanted to invite you to play a tournament that will be in a few weeks, this tournament is 3 against 3 and I thought I'd call you and David.”

”A tournament? It looks cool, I will.”

”Fine then, I'll call David now.”

”Okay, goodbye.”

So Jake called David to invite him as well, David also complained that Jake had not talked to them in a long time and agreed to attend the tournament as well.

So after a few weeks, the three friends went to participate in the tournament, this tournament would be done in just one day this time, it would start around 7 am and would go until around 10 pm so it would be a tiring day for the players, Jake did not care much about it.

As they always had lots of people participating, Jake stayed close to David and Mark, he asked his friends how things were while he was away, they said he did not miss anything, after all, they did not get anything in those two years.

Jake also realized that the two were much more mature, especially David who was much calmer, so Jake was curious to know how much they improved in the game as well.
