Secret Love (11 page)

„
Brandy... hey awake on. Mr. Graham has asked you what.“, my seat neighbour hissed it was Pumuckl.
Already the presence of this teacher seemed to finish him completely. Shaking he sank even deeper in his seat.
Around Mr. Graham corner of mouth a mocking train drew itself.
„I do not want to tear out you from her after-lunch sleep...“ he made a momentous break...

In the auditorium ruled a tense mood.
I felt all pairs of eyes on myself directed... apparently it had got about, my appearance towards him.
Now everybody waited tensely.... like the duel probably went on.
Nobody dared to position itself against Mr. Graham... really nobody!
At this moment sounded the releasing break bell... and I sighed made easier.
The acquaintance with trainer Maria reached to me. Therefore, I had to deal absolutely no desire further details with Mr. Graham.
In a great hurry I laid the documents for the writing competition on the pile and was already at the exit....
„You still stay!“
This was a clear commanding tone and I stopped jerkily. My heart knocked up to the neck.... the hands viscous and humid.
The hall emptied quickly... every now and then I met compassionate however also without understanding looks...
It was a matter of not tangling as an irrefutable rule with Mr. Graham.
And I had broken this rule now...... this let feel me Mr. Graham clearly. Now I was in his red list... because has dared him to contradict!!
Since this unforgettable day he did not let out of sight me any more.
Carefully Mr. Graham took my documents and rocked the head thoughtfully to and fro.
„Our writing competition we of a known author examined and evaluated!“
Now he lifted the head and looked at me directly with a piercing look...
“I do not believe in you.....you can`t nothing!!“
Incapable to bring out a word... I stared at him only in silence
.My neck was suddenly dry... I felt as paralyzed...
Do not let from this arse unnerve. He wants to finish you only because he himself is incapable.
However, it used nothing.... desperately I struggled for version.
Mr. Graham voice was very quiet... a compassionate smile my emotion darted over his face coated by deep furrows as him with relish observed.
„You dream too much! Come again back to the reality! Here...“, he indicated with a haughty look at the pile. “... is a number too largely for you Mrs. Brandy!“
Again this smug smile...
„Now you can go Mrs. Brandy!“
Without any hurry he sat down again to the writing desk his reading glasses touched down knowingly and devoted itself intently the pile.
When I the auditorium left.... hot tears burnt to me in the eyes. I wanted to say so much..., however, I simply stood there as paralyzed …
This revolting haughty snob tried to smash my self-confidence to me with all power....
And, to tell the truth... I really owned of nobody more.
Absolutely incapable a clear thought and horrifies about this modest treatment I staggered by the way and came still too late to the training...
The team was already in warm up as me wheezy stormed. Trainer Maria discovered me immediately and welcomed me with an ice-cold look.
„Say sometimes what occurs to you, actually? Here does not become clear too late this has come!!“
In silence I tired myself along her..... with a sentence of obstructed Maria the way and built up itself threateningly before myself.
.“ I believe the victories have risen to you to head... now you still come too late.!
„But...“ I tried to defend myself... then it was the 1st time I too late came and the reason was Mr. Graham.
However, Maria cut off to me the word:
“ No discussion and...“ her voice became dangerously quietly... “.... I know like you Melissa harass...“
In bewilderment I stared Maria in.... before I just one word could answer, she turned off to me the back and turned the other player,
I could hardly concentrate upon the training. The ball glided to me from the hand.... or I missed him.
My thoughts overturned... first Mr. Graham wanted to make clear to me. I would have no talent to the writing and now Maria... them my basketball completely questioned and in addition still the disoriented reproaches.
Confuses and unnerves.... I tripped behind the team and harvested from all sides irritating shaking of the head.
When I was ready with narrative.... pressed me Sita quite firmly in himself.
We sat on the couch and Sitas flat a wholesome harmonious rest emitted.
The tea lights... they were distributed everywhere, rounded the picture completely.
A light smell to Kardamon and incense spread out and wrapped me like a cocoon.
„Relax....“ besides I sank almost into Sitas to dreamlike eyes. Quite slowly I laid my head in her lap.
For one moment I forgot the worries and problems.Alone we both... softly I can fall back... and dissolved like wax under her experienced hands softly my cheeks stroked and massaged my scalp.,
"Sita..." my eyes filled with tears...
„Pssst...reg you not on because of the other. What counts only... only we both are!!!“

             
             
             
             
21.Chapter

             
Thanks you have helped me... this lesson it needed quite urgently.“
Melissa still leant in the door to the office during Maria in silence against upcoming office work did.
Keenly she continued...
“... She is so haughty... keeps for the biggest... And then....“ Melissa got deeply and her voice quietly fell... “. still this thing with Sita is our geography teacher.“
Maria pricked up the ears jerkily... “Why... what is with her?“
Melissa knew that them Maria's interest had woken up. It was Maria not escaped Bill very much for Sita interested...
„Now. Brandy takes everything out... not enough ….sie a relation with this Indian. still has“ the last word Melissa disparagingly out as if hissed it something tiresome would be.
Maria stared at Melissa in bewilderment and shook the head over and over again. Jerkily she tightened the shoulder:
„Here there are no relations between two women. Not in major's college!!“ her voice sounded hard and sharp.
Melissa rejoiced. if already her Dad not on them listened... Maria did it. She knew the trainer not that could suffer if of one of the schoolgirls stepped out of line...
Melissa did not leave it and poked even more oil in the fire...
„Brandy is only by a scholarship at our school admitted... then, actually she comes from the Bronx.... South Bronx!“
Melissa made made sick the grimace.
Maria a born rebel stared in silence from the window in the hall....
Melissa leant before. “She behaves here as if she is what better only because they our team a few times to the victory had helped...“
„So everybody listen !!“
Maria scrutinised the team,
Immediately there ruled silence.... everybody stared at the trainer fascinatedly....
Our looks met for few seconds.... and to me the breath... a steel-hard expression froze was directed on her face... her look coldly... her look like a spraying poisoned arrow upon me.
„From today Melissa takes over the position as a centre-player!“
Amazed faces... quiet murmuring in the team...., however, nobody dared something to say.
Everybody submitted under the command of Maria... only I had a problem!!
Not only because of the position as a centre separate because of Melissas seeming grin. A very contented grin...
„Do you have for it an explanation??“
Everybody stared me aghast in..... nobody ventured even the quietest opposition against Maria.
What said they it was valid as irrefutable and was never even questioned....
For a tiny moment Maria pulled sharply the air... her eyes sparks sprayed. It was a contradiction not usually..., therefore it fought for few seconds with the version.
Then she directed her attention again upon me and them sounded quietly dangerously quiet...
„YOU ….hast no talent for basketball!!“
Their words met me like a lash... it was as I would agree a punch in the middle in the face...
Now I struggled for version Don't let on anything... she wants to challenge you!
I put on my Pokerface and resisted defiantly her steel-hard look
This gave a renewed murmuring... again was like a duel between me and Maria...
Finally, I turned away the look and followed the other whispering the space left without me of a look to appreciate.

The next away match stood in... and I took my whole courage and tried to follow the training....
However, it catastrophically ran.... most time I not even got the ball to see.
Melissa intercepted him cleverly and, moreover, gave clearly to understand that she had the say.
The others submitted rather..., finally nobody wanted to fall in disfavor.Also one also avoided me …
Here a big mistake was apparently to be stood his own opinion I ascertained cynically.
With the herd run along... this was here tradition!
This time the play found in the stadium instead of... and decided decisively whether we got on or not. It was about everything... and I felt a heavy responsibility on my narrow shoulders press...
I thought of Sita... them courage gave me to me to believe. Also she went through just a heavy time.
The last night she told me about her colleague Gregory. This left no opportunity to harass from around them.
Moreover, she rejected an invitation of the manager Griffith with thanks.
I thought of it as me the tricot slipped over and broke up my muscles...
Slowly excitement and stage-fright spread...
When my name was called... I received stormy enthusiasm calls. An unbelievable expectation filled the dynamic air.
The announcer briefly commented on my present victories for major's college and already there sounded the gong.
The ball flew in the air.... and.... hard he landed in my outstretched hands. Straight away I went to the offensive and broke through the defensive line.... placed in ….und... the ball did not fly in the net although I in the Central position there stood (Central the best place before the basket)
Blustering applause surged on in the spectator's rows..... and I felt sure for the first time again. Adrenalin shot by my body.... I felt strong and ready.
However, with the next whistle everything ran suddenly crooked......
Melissa although in Central and, hence, most near the basket... played the ball not to the basket separate to another player farther from the basket was...
Confused I saw myself around.... seemed as there would suddenly be no more rules in the team.
Melissa worried from her position and took him with another player though an excellent sprinter was..., however, throws not exactly her thing was. Either he flew too high or too far....
Now complete chaos ruled in our team.... nobody looked more by... and meanwhile the opponent's team collected smiling a point after the other.
Over and over again my name was called... the fans became furious.... Booing nothing but...
I hardly got the ball to see... he was not simply passed to me any more. and my position was very bad for a ball throw.
Finally, I got the ball of the opponent's team and dashed off..., nevertheless, as me just a jump made.... somebody pushed me hard aside... I lost the balance... the ball flew to me from the hand and directly in the hands of the opponent's team.... them were glad and scored straight away.

Now we stood completely in the remains.... so badly we never were and I felt a dumpling in the neck.
Three... two.... one.... the score flashed.... and the final whistle sounded... once more this time, however, applause on... surged only for the opposition.
For my team there was only booing.... insbesonders on me, because I led till present our team always to the victory.
I felt so empty and low-spirited.... this was not my play.... I ascertained shaken.
I was only a small heap of misery and felt miserably..., however, also furiously about the chaos in the team.
With Mc Cain there were always firm rules and no preference …
In the changing room ruled tense mood. Some threw to me furious... other despising looks.
„From because of an enrichment for our team... it are a rivet!“ it came abruptly from the door.
I lifted the look and stuck to trainer Maria. She stood threateningly in the door frame and shook the head over and over again:
“ I ask me only like Mc Cain a sort of you generally could discover...“
Their look glided in the round „. you „and indicated at me... and her look fixed again to me „.... introduces our major's college a bad call.“
Outrages I wanted to answer something.... this brought Maria only surely during journey... her eyes like daggers they pierced my heart.
„I know everything about you brandy...“
Now everybody stared me curiously in.... my heart knocked up to the neck.... I hardly dared to breathe.
„I know what between you and this Sita runs. However, I say one you..... this there is not at our school!!“
Maria's voice sounded sharp and let the whole team solidify....
When I I raised quite slowly..... all pairs of eyes on me were directed.... slowly I answered Maria's look and mine rebellious fallow by.
„Strangely... “I cleared the throat without look of Maria to turn away.... “as YOU on vacation were a victory pocketed this team after the other. Like me heard this team was already once the tail light. Since YOU again there have fallen ….ist the team again.... and the tail light.!!!“
I knocked nervously in the door of the manager.
Hardly we had come in the campus I received the announcement to appear immediately to the manager.
I imagined to Maria's menacing voice them still whispered as us got out... I never again provide for it that you a foot in a basketball team agrees... to me it ran down coldly the back....
And when I the call received I thought only one..... them was in earnest...
Maria had to have informed the manager immediately after the discussion in the changing room...
She did not leave me afterwards any more out of sight... but stared at me like to spray a cobra ready with the first movement her deadly poison.
Come in!“ 
With knocking hearts and shaking knees I entered halting.
This time manager Griffith stopped presently with write and his light grey eyes scrutinised me incessantly.
He immediately got down to business...
„Now... Mrs Brandy... like you know... the away match was a defeat!!!
And my engagement with Sita also.
Your  achievements are miserable. Moreover, you are cheeky, thoughtless and disrespectful!“
And you have twisted my Sita still the head. Maybe I would have got round them if you had not burst here...
In bewilderment I stared him in... the manager seemed anyhow disturbedly to be... a rage redness covered his creased face.
Suddenly he paused as just a thought would come to him. a disdainful grin darted over his sweaty face and he bent forward.
„Oh still what... Mrs Brandy... “his voice sounded quiet suddenly dangerously.
. “I agreed you  at our school only under a condition.... Keep far from Sita.!!
If I receive even the smallest tip that they even close to Sita are seen …cancel  I Sita instant and any more an employment provides for it that they nowhere more es!!“
With far torn open eyes I stared him in.... incapabl just one word to bring out... by this threat...
„The entertainment is finished, now you can go!“
