A/N: Double drabble.
Accepted for a basketball scholarship! This was huge! Bikky couldn’t stop smiling, even though his too-wide grin was starting to make his face hurt. He knew this was still only the beginning of his journey, he had a long way yet to go and there were no guarantees; he wasn’t the only teenager with dreams of becoming a professional basketball player. Nevertheless, the scholarship would put him one step closer to his goal.
He’d worked hard for it, keeping his grades up throughout high school, doing well enough in his exams to prove himself willing to put in the effort required. On top of all that, he hadn’t slacked off on the basketball court either, and he’d worked at being a team player, not just some arrogant, egotistical show-off who considered himself the star, and expected all others to bow before him.
That wasn’t to say he didn’t demonstrate all the flashy moves he knew, especially when scouts were watching him play, but he supported his teammates, helped them to shine, because a team was made up of more than one player, and it took a whole team to win games.
At last his efforts were starting to pay off!
The End
