"....That's why we really really need a basketball camp in our spring break.", I explained my teammates whom I had gathered with so much difficulty after the school hours.

"You know Peter, you are not making any sense, we literally have a competition after the spring break, why do we need to organize one in spring breaks?", said Jack, a teammate of mine.

"That's the thing, we can have a lovely spring break, somewhere with nice environment, clean nature and all the time in the world to practice and compete, we'll kick everyone's ass after that.", I tried convincing them. The idea of a basketball camp in the spring break is so absurd that even I don't have any reasonable explanations for that. In my defense it was Noah's idea and I just didn't want to interfere when he was in his scary persona.

"Are you alright Peter, you don't look too great." Asked Jackson, another one of my team. He seemed concerned which is fair enough, my shirt and hair is drenched in sweat, I am basically still panting and I am not making any sense even to my own ears.

"Don't you guys believe your captain?" came a bold scary voice from behind and I turned to see Noah standing there glaring at everyone, I could see chill running down their spines as they all shuffled slightly under his gaze.

"I mean it is a great idea, I have no problem.", said Jackson taking all his previous words back. And immediately everyone started saying yes to the plan. Damn! Noah can be so scary. His Black Leather Jacket and his eyebrow piercing wasn't helping at all. Like his multiple ear piercing's wasn't scary enough, he even got an eyebrow piercing this year.

I was discussing the plan with my team when I got another notification, it was a picture of Mr. Davis and Ms. Wilson at a restaurant having lunch and laughing, seriously from where do they even find so funny topics to talk about, even I haven't laughed this much the whole year.

I turned around and watched as Noah fumed looking at his phone and behind him Luke looked the same. I signaled them to leave this one on me, I've got just the plan to fix this.

----------------------------------------------------

I along with my teammates made our way to the mall where Nathan said they were at. I lured my teammates there by some random excuse .I schooled my expressions into that of the most helpless child as I crossed the glass entrance of the restaurant where they were eating sitting near the glass wall. Just like I predicted, they saw us and I made eye contact with them, making it seem like an accident and they immediately called us inside.

I was tempted to smile at my succeeding plan but kept my cool.

"What are you kids doing here?", asked Ms. Wilson as soon as we got to their table.

I made a miserable face as I explained how I want to organize a basketball camp for the team but we are not sure if the school would support it.

"And I took them all here, thinking maybe we could contribute and maybe organize ourselves but the prices of even the props here are so high.", I said miserably and I could see pity in her eyes and knew my plan is working as she got up.

"No kids, you are not doing it alone, seriously you guys should have informed me, you know I am your PE teacher, it's my duty to help you guys and it makes me sad that you don't even feel comfortable enough to ask for my help." she said getting a little emotional.

"No Ms. Wilson, you are a great teacher, we just didn't want to disturb you after school. And you seemed quite busy." I said making a sad and pitiful face.

"No, I am not busy, and we can go to school right now, and don't worry about the arrangements, just tell me about your plans and leave everything to me, ok?", she said packing her bag and calling the waiter for the bill. I did a little happy dance in my heart.

Mr. David came to the school with her insisting he had a work himself and Ms. Wilson even called the cab for us to go to school as few of us had bicycles and we all had piled on to them to reach there. But me and Jackson still got to ride with Ms. Wilson, 'captain privileges'.

-----------------------------------

Ms. Wilson was in principals office when I noticed a line of notifications on the group chat, it had photos of me and team with the teachers in the restaurant as Ben and Nathan messaged what we were doing and that its is cheating and we can't separate them by force, that kind of did break my miserable child character as I smiled mischievously, there were even texts of Luke and Noah saying there is no cheating and no rules.

Ms. Wilson left the principals office and I immediately removed all the traces of my smile.

"Congratulations kids, you got yourself a basketball camp in the spring break.", she said happily as we cheered. We stood in an arc as she explained the details of the camp.

"More students could join if they like with some entry fee. Food and tents would be provided by the school and there would be lots of physical activities. A teacher would supervise with me and we can sleep in the wooden hut with the local authorities. In that way medical facilities can also be provided." She explained.

"Which teacher would be going along with us?", Jackson asked excitedly.

"Oh, it's all arranged, Mr. Cruz would be going with us."

WHAT? WHY?
