It was a chilly, crisp January Sunday, of my eighth grade year, much like the kind that sends goosebumps throughout your entire body the second you step foot outside. However, the cold air that day wasn’t what made my mind wander, rather it was set on the one thing I love doing most-- basketball.

Picking up my phone I texted my friend Elli to see if she could get anyone to play night games at the Mapleton City Park. Earlier that day at school we had began planning on having night games, and the park was a central place to have them. Even with both of us trying we couldn’t get anyone who could come play. Only one person said that they would be there, who just…

My face was burning, yet my fingers were icy cold. My palms were clammy and my heart was pounding full of adrenaline. I thought it was going to jump straight out of my chest. Thump, thump, thump. I ran so fast without looking back. I fumbled upon a vintage-looking bench and plopped straight upon it before I fell to the ground.
