“Hey.” Sam looks at me.

“Good game so far.”

“Thanks.” Sam smiles and takes a sip of his water.

“I . . . um . . .”

I pause, wondering if I should say something about his passing or not. If Coach didn’t say anything to him, why should I? He probably won’t want to hear it from me. Besides, we’re winning anyway.

“Yeah?” Sam looks at me and then at the court. It’s time to go back on.

“Nice handles.”

“Thanks.” Sam’s smile grows bigger.

During the second half, I try to squash the feeling of jealousy whenever Coach praises Sam. I make sure to yell extra loudly for everyone else on the team when they do something well. We pull out the win, and everyone is grinning at the end of the game. I’m happy too, because it means our season isn’t over. But I down look at my foot and pray it’s better in time for me to return for the playoffs. I’m dying to get back in the game.
