Chapter 390
She wasn't a narrow-minded person, but she was angry to see how they looked down on Jack.
Phoebe couldn't hold back anymore and spoke up to apologize, "Jack, I'm really sorry you had to..."
Jack interrupted Phoebe with a smile, "Do you think I'll be bothered by the words of people like that?"
Seeing how positive Jack was, Phoebe felt a lot better. "That's great. Let me treat you to a meal. There's some amazing food here that's definitely worth trying."
Jack nodded. Just as they were about to head to the cafeteria, they unexpectedly ran into Peter and the others again.
Peter seemed to have forgotten his rudeness earlier as he said to Phoebe, "Phoebe, there's a basketball game later. Do you want to come and watch?"
Phoebe shook her head. "I have to accompany my friend. I won't be free."
Peter was taken aback for a moment before turning his attention to Jack. "Hey, do you want to join the game? Don't tell me you're the kind of weakling who can't play sports."
Jack immediately saw through Peter's provocation and smirked playfully. "I enjoy basketball too. I'll see you in the afternoon then."
Phoebe glanced at Jack in surprise. Then, she smiled.
Her mind drifted back to their freshman year, when the School of Finance students had played against the School of Music students. Jack had entered the game as a substitute and turned the game around with his impressive skills. That moment still shone brightly in her memory.
This memory was one of the key reasons she loved watching guys play basketball. The familiarity of the sight always stirred up the passion in her heart.
Since she knew that Jack was skilled at basketball, Phoebe nodded with ease. "Okay, then!"
For some reason, Phoebe was also very excited at that moment. She couldn't wait to see Jack's performance on the court again.
There was still time to spare after the meal. The two of them strolled through the campus before heading to the basketball court as planned.
In Euphoria, football was undoubtedly the most popular sport. Its influence was so huge that it could captivate people of all ages.
But with the growing popularity of basketball, more and more students became passionate about the sport. Basketball games also became very spectacular and impressive.
By the time they arrived at the court, it was already packed with people. There were students from both Zargonia and Vexburg, and the atmosphere was lively.
Today's game was a friendly match between Brightland University's Finance Class Five and Finance Class Three. Phoebe's class, Class Five, was about to compete against Peter's class, Class Three. The rightful source is f͟i͟n͟d͟n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟.net
Sportsmanship was highly respected abroad, and basketball, as a sport that showcased strength and skills, naturally drew a lot of attention.
On the court, the players were all tall and athletic, with several Zargonia students among them. Their muscles were toned, showing their impressive physical fitness.
Phoebe introduced Jack to the captain of Finance Class Five, a Zargonia student. Out of respect for Phoebe, he allowed Jack to join the team at the last minute.
The two teams immediately started warming up by taking shots. Jack tried a couple of times, but he missed both shots due to his shoulder injury.
In the audience, Phoebe sat with her roommates, Vanessa and Monica.
Monica and Vanessa were somewhat disappointed by Jack's performance. They even spoke about it openly, discussing it with Phoebe.
Phoebe didn't explain. She knew that Jack would show them his true skills soon. Meanwhile, Wendy and Peter were waiting for the game to officially begin.
