Luke waved good bye when Jaxon turned to go down a different street, promising to text him later. His walk home from that point was uneventful, and like Jaxon, his father was also home and was also angry- probably not as much as Jaxon's dad, but pretty close.
"Hey dad... How's it going?" asked Luke. "How's it going? How's it going? You missed practiced and let down not only me, but your coach and team mates, Luke! Did you know that detentions stay on your record? Because of your mishap, your chance of getting into the NBA has now decreased by two percent. Two percent, son...Two percent of your future just washed down the drain because of your actions." snapped Luke's dad. "Dad, it was one detention- pretty sure that NBA players got detention when they were in high school."
