A Different Kind of Player

October 21

Hey, Jase!

I was super glad to hear Coach Smarker worked out a schedule at the high school so you guys can practice and play at least part of your games. Bet everybody will be happy when the middle school gym is finally ready.

Remember those guys I told you about, Mike and Harlan? Mike had a birthday party last weekend. He invited Harlan, me, Jameer, and three other guys. Mike's mom made tacos for us, then we binged on Avengers videos. Guess it doesn't matter where you live, tacos and Avengers are the ticket.

So, wait til I tell you what my mom did. With everything that's gone on, I guess Mom forgot I'll be thirteen before you know it. She must think I'm still in elementary school because she called my teacher to see if there were any after school things going on. Seriously! 

Thank goodness my teacher, Mr. Collins, isn't a rookie. He let me know about mom's call on the down low. She told him I'm good with tools. Well, Mr. Collins talked to Ms. Lacy, our music teacher. The kids in 7th grade are working on a musical and she said they could use help building sets. 

You know I never did anything for the plays at school, but I'm having fun with this. For real. The best part is getting to hang out with some 7th graders.

Just remembered that I haven't finished my math homework, so I better hit the books. Say hi to the guys at basketball practice.
