I sat on the bleachers, my hands tucked between my thighs to bring in some heat in the mildly breezy air that the afternoon's bringing in. I watched as Skye ran full speed through the home base, all the way to the tall fence that stood behind the catcher.

It's been a minute since I last seen Skye play and granted this isn't a game, and this is just a little scrimmage they're doing in practice. I can tell she's gotten better since the last time I seen her play. With there season starting up, softball's all she's been talking about; and how she wants to get a scholarship to UCLA and play there for college. I don't even know how she thinks that far ahead, I'm always stuck on making sure the present turns out right, apposed to predicting or planning for the future. Maybe I should take some Skye advice.

In one swift movement the catcher scooped up the ball, and chucked it towards third base in attempt to get the girl running in that direction, out. However, the girl ended up safely on third base before the ball made it there. I continued to watch, although my mind drifted off to Ryan and I's conversation a few weeks ago. Call it procrastination but I'd yet to tell either coach for the teams I want to play on. My intentions, which I'm sure they will be fine with- well I know coach on the Chips will be. Plenty of the guys from last year played on different AAU teams at certain moments, and we still won the championship. Kobe's team on the other hand? That's what I'm iffy about. But I have to make a move someway or another. AAU season begins in less then a month.

You know what, let me stop talking and go ahead and make some moves. If I allowed my conscious to control this situation it wouldn't be handled until It's too late and I'm somewhere looking crazy and both coaches unaware of what I want to do this summer.

I stared at Kobe's name in my phone unaware of what to say, or how to say it. Every time I typed something, I ended up deleting it and having to restart. I could say, hey coach yeah.. I'm interested in playing with y'all and another team even though you mentioned once or twice you want my full mentality. Which, just because I won't always be there for every game, doesn't mean I won't still bring my mentality. I'm probably making this 10x more difficult then it actually has to be. Let me just get this over with.

The noise sounded as it signaled that the message sent through, along with the brief blue line that ran across the top of the screen. I sighed in relief as the almost ten minute thought out message finally went through. Look at me man, out here making business moves all by myself. In my all white one's, spitting bars because it's easy as, shooting the hoop over a defender, make you slip in fall, oh shit! I didn't even remember the verse, now I'm in a coupe-
