Chapter 13 The New Semester

A week later, Kenny Ortega flew to Los Angeles with the script that Lin Ming Yang had given him during their second meeting as well as the six songs that had become a favorable weapon for him to lobby investors. Of course finding the right investors was a long process, some scripts were written for two or three years before they could be put into production, Kenny Ortega instructed Lin Ming Yang to be patient enough before he left, and as soon as there was a result, he would notify Lin Ming Yang at the first opportunity.

There was not much time left in the vacation, and before they could completely relax, the Firefox players were told that Coach Jefferson had healed. The results of the few matches after the start of the new semester would determine whether or not the Fire Foxes would make it to the finals. In order to make up for the missed training program and to prepare for the upcoming final qualifying games, Jefferson announced an emergency training session the week before the start of the school year, which all players were required to attend.

The honor room at Moss High School is filled with a variety of trophies. There are award certificates for various academic competitions and trophies for various athletic competitions. Being able to rank among the top high schools in the state of Florida, in addition to producing a large number of outstanding graduates, the school's history of honors has always been talked about by alumni. The only thing that is somewhat lacking is that the school does not have any basketball championship trophies in its collection to date. In the state tournament, the best Moss High School has done in its history is make it to the semifinals. And this time, Jefferson promised the school a championship trophy.

I don't know whether it was the tension before the competition or the pressure from the school, after a big illness, Jefferson's temper became more and more grumpy, training players as long as the slightest error, a yell is absolutely inevitable. Even Thomas and Lin Mingyang, as long as the mistake will also be his stern reprimand, do not leave any mercy. Silently enduring the devilish training, for the first time in their lives, this group of fifteen and sixteen year old teenagers didn't complain about the school setting the start date so early, but instead crossed their fingers and looked forward to the arrival of that day. After the start of the school year, Coach Jefferson's so-called summer training will have no reason to continue, everyone just want to get rid of this "painful" life.

Lin Mingyang around this idea of people scoffed, he knew that there is no vacation training, after the start of the school year Jefferson can find more excuses to continue this kind of high-intensity training. Of course, in order to take care of the mood of the team and not affect the normal study, it is estimated that after the start of the school year Jefferson will not continue to do so.

In fact, Lin Mingyang inwardly hope that Jefferson continue, because this kind of high-intensity training, the effect is obvious, everyone whether physical fitness or technical movements have been improved to a certain extent. This is the difference between an amateur team and a professional team, a high school varsity team like the Firefoxes, most of the players can't devote all their time to basketball training, a lot of things will distract them. It's also only by taking this kind of intensive training during the holidays that everyone is able to give their full attention. Because on the court Jefferson will drain you of all your physical strength, and when you get home the only thing you want to do is fall back to sleep. Only in the case of extreme exhaustion can everyone resist the invitation of classmates to go out, the temptation of computer games, and focus all their energy on training.

Regardless of anticipation or rejection, the new semester came as promised. After a vacation, everyone became a little rusty, and this time an interesting topic can often attract a lot of listeners, which is a way to get acquainted with each other. On the first day of the new semester, "How was your vacation?" became a frequently used sentence when students greeted each other.

From the moment Lin Mingyang stepped through the school door, "It was good!" and "It was okay!" Such answers have been on his lips from time to time. After a vacation, Lin Mingyang was still the popular star of Moss Middle School, no matter if he knew him or not, there were always people around who would pop up to say hello to him, and the girls who were open to the idea had already begun to tease the handsome basketball captain with their hot eyes.

Perhaps because of the "vacation syndrome", the first few days after the start of the school year, the students were in the worst condition in class. It took some time for everyone to adjust from the irregular life during the vacation to the need to be in the classroom on time every day. Except for those "top students" who usually have good grades and are determined to apply for prestigious schools after graduation and are still taking notes, most of the other students have already wandered out of the classroom, and the few who are still awake are either staring out of the window or quietly fiddling with their cell phones underneath their desks.

When the bell rang, the heads of those lying on the table immediately lifted up. The math teacher on the podium helplessly closed his own heavy handout, before taking off his glasses also did not forget to glare fiercely at the following those who were drowsy in class, but at this time can not wait to stand up and move the students, which put the glasses a put, announced the end of class.

Compared to those boring math formulas, the headache-inducing periodic table of elements, and the several deadpan faces that they had to face every day, the only thing that made everyone excited about the new semester was the upcoming Firefox game. Because of the Fire Foxes' impressive performance at the end of last semester, the number of fans at Moss High School has increased dramatically, and many people will go to watch the team practice after school.

The school's gym was open to the public, and except for the players' locker room, Moss Middle School students were allowed to come and go as they pleased. The presence of the enthusiastic spectators inevitably affected the team's normal training, and the most outrageous thing was that a group of overdressed girls were actually pulling a brightly colored banner, which unabashedly read "Felix I love you. " They appeared in the audience, and whenever Lin Ming Yang made a shot or a breakthrough, they would scream at the top of their lungs.

Looking at Jefferson's temples bulging with anger, Lin Mingyang said helplessly that it had nothing to do with him, he did not even know those girls. Perhaps this incident stimulated Jefferson, who pressured the school to finally force the school to close the gym during the team's practice on the grounds that the team's practice was being seriously disrupted.

But everyone's enthusiasm for the Firefoxes didn't wane, and the Firefoxes' players became sought-after sources of information in the school, so as soon as class ended, Lin Mingyang's seat was surrounded by curious classmates, all of whom wanted to hear from the Firefoxes' team captain about the team's recent developments, while Lin would use the phrase, "We're practicing very hard! " "Our goal is the championship!" These were the same old answers.

"Hey Felix, I heard that this semester the Firefox's cheerleading team is looking for new members, it seems that they haven't been able to choose a suitable captain since Megan left, and I heard that because of this, there are even internal conflicts within the team!" A classmate beside her was very gossipy and popped up this sentence.

"Well, I've heard about this too!" The people around him agreed, looking at everyone focusing their gazes on themselves, Lin Ming Yang scratched his head helplessly, "This matter, I'm really not too sure, it's usually us who play, they are responsible for the halftime show, and they usually rarely interact with each other!"

This answer from Lin Mingyang obviously disappointed many people, but everyone knew that he wasn't lying. The Firefoxes didn't have a specially configured cheerleading team, and similar high school varsity teams didn't have such a configuration. Moss High School's cheerleading team was formed by several clubs in the school, not only providing performances for the Firefoxes, but also for other sporting events in the school.

On the basketball court they were dancing elves, on the green field they were transformed into sexy soccer babes, undeniably it was a glamorous group, and those who could be absorbed into it were those girls with good looks and beautiful bodies, who were usually the center of attention in their respective social circles, and Megan Fox, who had just bid farewell to this school last semester, was one of the top ones. And naturally, an organization like this, which brings together all the beautiful girls in the school, easily becomes a hot topic of discussion.

"If only Megan could come back!" I don't know who mentioned this, but the boys surrounding Lin Ming Yang all nodded heartily. Everyone said one thing to each other, and the topic somehow got pulled to the girl who had already left. The girls gathered around were obviously not too interested in the topic and dispersed, while the boys talked more and more.

"I watched the Firefoxes' first game back in the day because I heard that Megan and the girls were going to be playing at halftime, and she's got a really hot body." A boy made a somewhat exaggerated S-shape with his hand in the air, and said with regret on his face, "I've gone back to watch every Fire Foxes game since then, and I haven't found a girl in school with a better body than Megan!" Although this was said by him alone, Lin Ming Yang believed that every time the Fire Foxes played, most of the boys in the stands had the same thoughts as him.

"Megan has already gone to Hollywood, maybe one day she'll turn into a big star that everyone is after, if you go to her now, maybe she'll remember you and give you an autographed picture!" Someone on the side made a sarcastic remark that didn't hurt, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Felix, do you know how Megan is doing?" While joking, everyone didn't forget that there was also a Lin Mingyang sitting next to him who used to have a "close relationship" with Megan Fox, and Megan's low-profile departure had hastily put an end to the campus kissing incident, but everyone insisted that something must have happened between Lin Mingyang and Megan, and that the campus had a lot to say about it. One of the most agreed upon statements is that the two were secretly dating for a while.

"She should be okay!" Lin Mingyang thought for a moment, then made a very roguish expression, "Of course this is just my guess!"

The class bell rang at the right time, and everyone hurried back to their seats without having the time to pursue this issue. The biology teacher's long and dull tone was extremely hypnotizing, and in less than ten minutes of class, a large swath of people had already fallen down underneath the general stage. Lin Mingyang had a serious listening expression on the surface, but in reality, his mind wasn't here at all.

In fact, the contact between Lin Mingyang and Megan had never been interrupted, and he was often able to receive e-mails from Megan in his e-mail inbox, in which she would tell Lin Mingyang about her recent situation, and occasionally send over a couple of stills. Judging from the content of the emails, Megan's life in Hollywood was a bit disappointing. The role she was cast in had a very small part, which was a far cry from her previous expectations.

Lin Ming Yang's would say something comforting to her from time to time in his replies, and then he would tell Megan about some of the Firefoxes' recent matches. Lin Ming Yang did this only to remind the other party not to forget the agreement between them.
