Chasing Woods
Epilogue

Three weeks after bringing home the win and everything calmed down with the media and the hype of winning, I finally relaxed. It was a tad stressful coming home after it all. Part of me didn't want to leave the game because it was going to be difficult to leave the moment behind. Then the media erupted again, but now to show off that we beat the odds and won. Tonight they were hanging the banner that had finally arrived, and that would be it. We would be a team for one last time tonight. 

********************

Allie: you ready?

Allie must have been out front and ready to go to the banner hanging ceremony. I slipped my state champions sweatshirt on and headed outside. 

"I'll take that as a yes."She said as I was locking the door.

"Yup. Let's go."

"Are you okay? Like that tonight's the end of it all?" Allie asked as we got closer to school.

"It's not like there's much I can do about it. Plus I'm a little relieved its all going to be over. So much drama went along with this."

"That is very true. But at least its all worked out now." 

We were just outside the school when someone suddenly swung an arm around my shoulder. I jumped, startled for a second, but when I saw those sweet green eyes I calmed. I couldn't believe it took me so long to figure out Cam had feelings for me and that the feeling was mutual. When we walked in I glanced around looking for the team when I caught Austin's eye. Austin didn't take me choosing Cam so well in the beginning. And when we came back to school the week after winning, he started dating LeeAnn which clearly was out of spite. But it only lasted a few days and then I sat down and talked to him. We got everything out and now he was finally coming around and I had a feeling we were going to be friends, eventually. We went and joined the team who were currently standing under where the banner would hang. 

"I can't believes it's over." Cam whispered quietly but I knew everyone heard him. 

"I know. It seems just like yesterday we worried about even having a team." Fitz said. 

Everyone fell into silence their own silent reminiscing about the past four years. (Well in Austin's case one).  This team was truly incredible, I loved every single one of these boys. They made me a stronger person and a better ball player. The rooms attention was called to where we were standing. My dad and Coach Larson were on ladders, one end of the banner in each other their hands.

SMACK!

Everyone looked up and the now hanging banner. 

St.Johns Braves

Home of the 2013 State Champions.

Now that the banner hung it truly was over. In seven weeks we would leave all of this behind to move on to summer basketball for our future high schools. In a sense grade school was over and it was time to move on. 

"One last time."  One of the boys shouted. Seven hands went into the air with pride.

"Braves!"

feedback?  well thats it! New story ideas will be up soon because I can't choose!
