The smell of the freshly popped popcorn
with artificial seasoning

Squeaking of basketball shoes
on the dusty wood floors

Stomps and claps coming
from the cheerleaders on the sidelines

The cold air coming in from the door
that cools you for a split second.
so quick you don’t remember it happening

The forty minute wait in line
only to find out you don’t have enough money

Sitting in the dim lighting
waiting for the game to begin

The pain in your back
from sitting in the bleachers

Soda spills
Candy covering the floor
Trash being thrown everywhere
Kids chucking pop bottles at each other

All parts of my favorite games.
