Friday March 6

Hello readers, Fortunato here to tell you the story I was remembering over dinner. It was a Friday, the big day for Montresor and me, it the big basketball game against our high school rivals. Both teams were undefeated; I was the leading scorer during that game followed by Montresor. We played our butts off and until the final 10 seconds of the game. My coach called the time out, we all came to a circle, we were behind my two points and the coach wanted us to win it, he said “Forget overtime, it’s either win or lose”. Now, the Coach asked if any of us wanted to take the game winning shot, Montresor said he was; now I thought to myself that if Montresor made it he will be the hero. I was not going to take that chance I blurted out “Coach I have the most points and better shooting percentage let me take the shot” the coach agreed and said I could take it, I looked at Montresor, and he was furious, I really didn’t care. So I was given the ball and took a shot from the three point line and made it, we won the game. Everyone was jumping except for that loser Montresor, I don’t know why he was angry I was the better man for the job, don’t you think?
