Chapter 102 A Difficult Beginning 1
"You're right it can really become a problem, but since he just became MVP in the national middle school championship I cannot leave such a player off the team for no reason at all."
The coach's wife was happy to hear that her husband agreed with her, but then she was saddened to realize he was right, no matter how much she and her husband did not like Jake, it was impossible to leave MVP and champion team captain out of the team without a reason.
So the wife and the coach kept looking at Jake's hand trying to think of something, so after a while, the wife who had the most hatred was the first to get an idea.
"Who is the lowest player on your current team?"
"I think it's the PG that's 1.76 in height, but that PG is already 17 and that's his last year before graduating."
"So here's the reason you wanted you can put a minimum height limit to play as a team owner since the beginning of the year, I heard that Jake is not even 1.70 m, so you have at least 1 year with he out of the team, in addition, you said that the team that won last year still continues this year."
The coach really liked the idea of his wife, in fact, the height was undoubtedly a very important factor for the performance of a basketball player, it may not make much difference to the games until Middle School, but after high school does a lot of difference.
In fact, after his PG the other minor player of his team is 1.83 in height and this player does not have much chance to become professional if he does not grow a little or play very well in the future, it shows how important he is.
So it's a good excuse to leave Jake in the bank, another thing the coach saw in the report was that Jake could also play in other positions besides PG so he would make Jake never play PG so he would have no more reason to be the captain of the team.
The coach thought that if he left Jake for 2 years on the bench with a lot of training he could make him a more obedient player who followed what his coach said, and if they could still be the champions without Jake this year he would not get complaints.
The coach's wife was happy, so if Jake stayed a year or two without playing, it would be enough punishment for her to be satisfied, after all, she was not a lifelong grudge.
...
Without knowing that his future in school basketball was compromised Jake was happy and hopeful to start high school, apart from basketball he could meet new people and maybe even make new friends.
In his past life, the best phase he had that he was happiest was in high school, this was the time of school and the lives of young people in which everyone is much more open to talk and make new friends and maybe even love relationships.
Everyone in high school was young people who were preparing to become adults, so the little fights they had before for children's reasons disappeared with age, this was more true for well-known private schools such as the Elite school where everyone had as their goal good university.
After another week of school, the school day started for all the students. In the morning, Jake had a hearty breakfast made by his mother and then went to school.
Jake wore his new uniform and very excited Jake went to the new building that would be where he would study in the next 4 years high school, looking in the corridors Jake could not see any children, but many young people and some could even be mistaken for adults.
It was also the first time at school that Jake began to cast a few more glances at young women who looked like women now, though Jake did not feel any trouble finding someone his age as though his mind was over 40 years old his body was a child of 13 years.
When a person grows naturally his tastes also change with age, before in school even when he realized that perhaps the girls in his room looked at him with some affection, for Jake were all just children, from now on would not be more like this.
After walking for a while Jake got to where his room would be in the first class of the day, Jake who had already received his schedules of all classes and also who would be his teachers that year was very happy, it seemed that none of the teachers who did not like He would teach it to him this year.
The new teachers had known for a long time that there was a young man who would not pay much attention in class and would be reading language books and business and business management, the language book Jake had already started reading this year was the Italian language.
Although he already knew this and other languages that he took the books to learn Jake did not think it was a waste of time, after all, nobody could learn more than there was about something, the biggest proof was English a language that was spoken in his country and that everyone spoke this language throughout his life.
Even so, he still studied that language in school from childhood and would continue to study perhaps even in university, and even then he could not say that he knew English completely, it was like that with other languages as well, studying 1 year the books of each language he always seized new things.
Not to mention that later to make another trip with his mother would be quite fun, in addition, Jake was very pleased with the books of economics, business and business, finance and general investment books that he was reading.
If he were to join every year that he studied about it would have been more than 10 years already, which was twice as long as any university, and he would continue to read those books for over 4 years of high school until he got to university.
Economics, in general, was something no one could say that he knew too much, but at high school as this was a private school Jake thought he would have many things that would draw his attention to the teachers' explanations, especially in chemistry, history, and physics that were matters impossible for Jake learned everything before.
Even so Jake thought he would continue to hit all the questions in the tests, after all now different from his last life his intelligence statistic was more than 50 now, and as the system said this was a statistic that helped in all things and the school was one of them.
Entering his classroom Jake was one of the first to arrive, it was still more than 20 minutes before class started, after a few minutes Joseph also arrived and sat next to Jake, as usual, Jake could see that some girls were looking in direction to both.
Even though Jake was impressed by how much Joseph changed after becoming thinner, Joseph was almost as handsome as Jake, Joseph had also changed his glasses into a model that looked better on his thinner face.
Joseph had black eyes and his hair was also black color, with the new model glasses he looked quite smart and well with these glasses, Jake was sad because he had no reason to make fun of his friend.
"Looks like you're pretty popular right now huh my friend after you've arrived the girls started looking at you and sighing, after that you know how to eat less and do some exercise."
"Who are you to talk to, since our last school the girls in our room always kept looking at you, now it's no different, I do not know how you were not fat with how many chocolates you've already won."
"That's because I play basketball, even if I want to get fat I can not do it with so much that I run."
"I'm envious of that, if I played basketball I would not have much difficulty getting thin."
"I've told you this before, whenever you want to run or play basketball you can call me."
"I do not want to be embarrassed, we already tried and you do not know how to take it easy on anyone."
"But take it easy with you, that does not mean I'll let you win just because I take it easy with you."
"It does not change the subject."
"We were talking about girls because you never tried anything even knowing you were popular?"
"First because at the time I thought girls were kids like me, so I was not interested in anything, second because even though girls always stare and even give chocolate, I never had the nerve to ask them to start dating themselves."
"And third because I was more concerned with basketball than with dating, but now all this is no more if any girl wants it can happen."
"I do not believe, I think this is just your excuse, waiting for women to call you to date first is ridiculous."
"I do not think so, I like more independent women who are not afraid to express their feelings too, after all, I'm not as conservative as you are."
