Boom! The crack of the bat from a Texas Ranger game-winning homerun sounded like thunder

filling the sky. I could not believe that Beau “Boomer” Boshek was playing major league baseball

in our hometown. The crowd roared with cheers, chanting his nickname, “Boomer.” If they only

knew the struggle I had in deciding which team to cheer for. I was a native Texan and Ranger

fan through and through, but having the chance to watch several past students on both teams

compete was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I needed to run to the concession stand to get a

coconut cotton candy, but Dulce grabbed my arm shouting, “Hold your horses! It’s Izaiah!”

Izaiah was up to bat next, and I just knew it was going to be another big hit because he had just

signed a million dollar deal with Nike for “Galactic Gloves.” I have heard that they are out of this

world.

After the first inning, the dance cam projected on the big screen and I spotted Layla and her

new fiance’, who is some star of a new Netflix TV show that I have yet to see. She apparently

met him through Riba, who is also on that new show. Riba turned out to be a shining star and

has won many awards for her acting.

The concession stand was calling my name, so I ran to get my snacks in a hurry so that I would

not miss any of the game. It was almost time for the famous mascot dance challenge! Since we

were playing San Diego, the San Diego chicken was there and that just happened to be Stiles!

He was destined for a career in entertainment. He always had the class dying with laughter. My

eyes used to dance when he got me laughing. I could not wait to see the dance competition

between the San Diego Chicken and Ranger, the mascot for the Texas Rangers, because both

of my past students were the funniest people in the world. Stiles and Danny hit the jackpot with

the coolest jobs ever invented.

After the game, all of my past Wood Wildcats went to dinner and we chatted it up about what

they had all been up to. Macie was coaching volleyball at her alma mater, TCU. Gage and

Amilia went in to business together forming a fancy pet grooming salon. Only celebrities can

afford to send their pets there. It is the bee’s knees. Zach and Colton work on Wall Street

making a bazillion dollars a year. Ryan and Iason formed an online slang dictionary company.

They are loathed by all teachers for teaching young students annoying sayings like, “Let’s Go!”

and “Noob.” I cannot wait to see more past students next week at the Wood Wildcat Wacky

reunion; Addison is putting it all together. I heard her party-planning business is super

successful.
