I caught what he was doing with the corner of my eyes, but I asked Korbyn anyway; "What were you doing behind me?" He did not answer and did not make eye contact with me.

Tock got out next and began circling the box, carefully inspecting it. “Looks like some garbage to me,” the Humbug said, barely glancing at it from inside the car. “Cmon, let’s continue with our journey, I’m hungry.

My asthma made it difficult, but because I continually practiced, it soon became easier for me to run, and move the ball. All I wanted to do was to prove myself. Even though my dream did not become fulfilled that season, I knew it would be a possibility the next season, if I worked continuously. Sam’s dream was…
