"Walker, you said that you find a new member, where is he I don't see him," asked Z

"Be patient I just called him, he is in his way here," said Walker

"Okay," said Z

After A 10 min...

"Isiah we are here," said Walker when he saw Isiah searching for him.

"Sorry I was late, " said Isiah

"it's okay, let me introduce you this is Zahir, and you could call him Z," said Walker

"Z this Isiah he is the third member of our team," said Walker

"nice to meet you am Z," said Zahir and he offered a handshake.

"nice to meet you too," said Isiah with a blush on his face

Zahir was taken back when he saw him blush and he whispered to Walker.

"Hey, why is he blus.h.i.+ng does he swing that way ?" asked Z

when walker heard what Z said black lines appeared on his face.

"I don't think so, he is just shy "Walker responded.

Z sighed in relief then continue asking Isiah.

"Isiah which school you attend?" asked Z

"I'm a senior in Mapel Ridge Highschool," said Isiah.

Walker was surprised that Isiah attends the school he is going to enroll in, but he was more astonish form what he heard from Z.

"So we are going to the same school what coincidence," said Z

"Z, I thought you are going to join a basketball programme so why go to Mapel Ridge Highschool were there is no basketball team, " said Walker

"You know how going to accept me in my third year a try out was hard to land and even if I join I would be a benchwarmer in the end so I decided to join Mapel highschool and I will continue playing basketball in college even if it's not a well-known college, " said Z

"that's good then the three of us will be in the same high school then," said Walker with a smile

"What!!" said Z and Isiah

"Yup, that was my reaction when you said that both of you are from the Mapel highschool," said Walker

"But you had a scholars.h.i.+p in a basketball programme," said Z

"They withdraw my scholars.h.i.+p," said Walker

"Are they stupid?" said Z.

"it's a long story and maple highschool going to have a basketball team," said Walker with a smile.

"so are the both of you going to join the team," asked Walker

"h.e.l.l yeah!!!," said Z

"And you Isiah," said Walker

"I'm going to join also," said Isiah with a smile this was the first time he got the chance to be a part of a team.

"Ok now, Let's go enroll our team in the tournament," said Walker to both of them.

"Wait, what our team is going to be called," Z asked.

"Oh, I forget about that do you have any ideas," said Walker to Isiah and Z.

"Mapel's bad boys," Z propose.

"Really why bad boys," said Walker

"Because it's cool," said Z.

Walker shook his head after he heard the response that Z gave him.

"Isiah what do you think," Walker said

"I'm okay with it," Said Isiah.

After deciding on the name they completed the registration process as for the brackets, they will be announced tomorrow.

the trio went to the basketball court where he and Z train to know each other strength and weakness before the start of the tournament.

After playing several games, Z was surprised by how good Isiah shooting was.

he thought that he and Walker were good enough to beat some of the average streetball teams in the tournament, but with Isiah, they had a greater chance to win the tournament.

After spending the rest of the day training the three of them goes home because tomorrow is going to be on h.e.l.l of a day for them and they need to get rest because the tournament was going to start the next day.

Tommowor Morning...

the trio went to the Detroit Basketball park to see the brackets, and who is going to be their opponents.

they are 32 teams partic.i.p.ating in the tournament, and it's (the tournament) going to be played in the span of a week.

Walker went to check the bracket to find who they were going to face in the first round.

Walker checked his watch and saw that they still have time before the start of their game so, he headed towards Z and Isiah who they were waiting for him.

While they were walking towards the court, Isiah b.u.mped into someone while he was walking.

"Sorry I didn't see you," Isiah apologized.

"What the h.e.l.l don't you see in front of you, my jordans now all messed up" the guy shouted.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to," said Isiah

"Don't give this bulls.h.i.+t, I want you to pay for new ones(pair of Jordan shoes ) " said with an intimidating tone.

"Go f.u.c.k yourself there nothing wrong with your shoes, do you think we are easy to be bullied," said Z angrily when he saw that the guy didn't want to accept an apology.

"you dare to curse at me you brat do you want me to beat you up," said the guy

Z was fuming he want to beat this guy up, but he was stopped by Walker.

"Don't fight here or we are going to be disqualified," said Walker

he didn't like how the guy acted, but he didn't want a fight to occur because they still want to play in the tournament.

"HAHAHAHAH, you guys are partic.i.p.ating, you should go to your mommy before you start whining after getting humiliated street ball isn't for you guys," the guy said while laughing.

"About that, we are going to see who's going to cry if we meet, " said Walker

"ooh look at the confidence of this son of b***, you better pray not to play us our team name is ALL FIRED UP," said the guy with arrogance then left.

In the end, the guy left and didn't care about what just happened because he just wants to bully them, but after going back in forth with them he was bored so, he decided to leave.

After he left Z was going to ask Walker about who they were going to face in the first round, but he saw that Walker had a scary expression on his face.

Z knows that Walker was angry, and he was about to ask him to calm down when he heard.

"Our first match is against ALL FIRED UP," said Walker
