How about a deal, brother? Some weeks later, Jeff was getting ready for the Entrance exam. He has never been so serious in his life as he is now. His grandfather has been so good to him and Jeff being the grateful type, promised to do well.
And thus, it was the exam day.
The day came and went. And for the first time since he left the Hemsworth family, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
While waiting for the results, he met with Liam to discuss the basketball tournament. Jeff is aware that passing this entrance exam does not ensure
him a spot at All Stars University; be I rather, it only determines certain things.
He still needs to get ready for the All Stars University entrance exam after the exam results are released.
Success is not easy," Jeff whispered to himself as he sipped from the water bottle Liam had offered.
“Don't worry. All Stars University is not the best school in Starry; there are some better schools. Some schools are not even far from there," Liam assured him.
Jeff's potential to attend All Stars University continued to elude Liam. He has witnessed his performance before,

"My intention is to attend a school that surpasses All Stars in quality," Jeff clarified. "T have trained hard, so I will dogreat," "All right! Okay!" Liam didn't want to discourage him again. "Now, let us discuss your reason for being here. A week from now is the tournament, and the exam follows one week after the entrance results are announced. How are you going to manage?" "Don't worry. Let's talk about

"I believe I started training when 1 was six years old, but I stopped when I was eleven or twelve." Jeff could still clearly remember the day he began training for his sport of choice. It was the day, the old woman told him he didn't belong to the Hemsworth family.

He was, however, heartened, in a way, to see a group of people playing his basketball.

Jeff and Liam were invited to the basketball court on that particular day by Liam's friend who was also the captain.
Jamie went with them, and before long, they arrived at the court.
"Drake!" As they get closer to the players, Liam calls. "What's up?" Liam and Drake greeted each other as the other players gaped at Jamie's attractiveness.
