GAME DAY BY ALEXIS GILMORE, NORTH MYRTLE BEACH HIGH SCHOOL SOUTH
CAROLINA.
It’s Friday. The day starts with my alarm sounding, plunging me
awake. I pull back the covers and stumble out of bed. As I walk to
the bathroom to do my morning routine, I remember it’s the big day.
I rush: wash my face, brush my teeth, do my hair, then get dressed.
I sit on my bed putting my shoes on, remembering the sound of the
buzzer and how the crowd cheered with alacrity in the last minute of
the game. I walk to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. My mom must
have known how important this day was to me. On the table are a
plate of scrambled eggs, two sausage links, and a piece of wheat
toast with her famous strawberry jam. I scoff it down and head out
the door. I yell bye, to my mom, as the door closes.
On the way to my bus stop, I began to think of the
techniques I will use to lead our team to a victory. The thought
quickly fades as I hear the bus coming around the corner, jumping
over every pot hole in the dusty road. It stops. The doors fly open.
I walk up the stairs and find a seat on the over crowded bus. Seven
minutes before the early bell rings, the bus pulls up to the school.
Moving through the morning rush of teenage boys excited for the big
game and girls checking out each other’s outfits, I walk through the
doors of North Myrtle Beach High School. As I walk down the hallway,
there are signs posted up on the walls. I began to read, don’t miss
the big game! NMB Chiefs will take down the MB Seahawks home,
tonight @ seven o’clock! I walk through the door of my British Lit
class, as the late bell rings. |

The morning announcements come on. We say the pledge
of allegiance and have a moment of silence. I gaze out the window and
began to ruminate the national anthem playing. Every player has a hand
over her heart and a solemn look on her face. The anthem ends, the crowd
begins to cheer, and the player’s adrenaline is pumping from their
warm-up and the excitement of the game. Cheerleaders began to chant,
jump ball, jump ball! Get it! The buzzer sounds, the referee throws up
the ball, and the players jump for the ceiling. We have the ball and we
begin to run up and down the court bouncing, stealing, and shooting the
ball. It’s fourth quarter with only five minutes left in the game.
The noise from people cheering faded out by the thoughts in
my own head. As I’m dribbling down the court, I watch my opponent and check
for an open player on the court. I go right, with 1 second left on the
clock, and hit a lay up for the game point. We win the game and the crowd
cheers franticly. My teacher taps my desk, breaking my thoughts. The bell
rings. I walk to my next class ready for tonight’s game.
