Aly Oop to the Hoop

Chapter 2

I looked like a slob and wasn't ready to meet the Dean. My mom let me borrow her makeup and we both slapped some on quickly. I hopped out of the car and walked into the main entrance. I was greeted by many friendly faces. The Dean walked up to me and my mom and said, "What a pleasure it is to meet you miss Kuma and Mrs. Kuma." I really don't want to explain the whole tour because the place is huge and it was boring.

Four hours later I finally got to my dorm. I was rooming with two other girls that just came here. My mom helped me get my bags and unpack my things. Trying not to tear up we both gave each other a big hug and she left. I was in my dorm alone and just wanted to go let loose. I laced up my high tops and grabbed a water bottle and basketball. I headed towards the elevator and made my way down to the gym. As I got to floor 2, where the gym was, I was greeted by the girls basketball teams head coach. She showed me around the gym and asked me to shoot for a little. I really impressed her and she told me I had a very special talent. What a workout? I thought to myself. I check the clock and it was getting late. I quickly made my way toward the elevator because I forgot that classes started tomorrow. I clicked floor 7 and I made my way up. The floor stopped at floor 4 and a guy walked in. "Hey. You must be new around here because I don't remember seeing such a fine lady. Then he came closer to me and said wanna come to my place?" I looked at him with a disgusted face and said, "Uh get away from me!" And quickly ran out of the elevator. My first day here and I had already ran into some drunk dude. When I reached room 728 I opened up the door and both of my new roommates were unpacking. "Hi! I'm Aly!" They both looked at me with stressed looks on their faces. They didn't bother answering so I just got ready for bed.

The next morning I got up and had chemistry first. I quickly got ready and rushed out the door. On my way to class I got lost, so I ended up being 10 minutes late. When I came in the whole class stared at me. "Well don't just stand there go pair up with someone." The teacher demanded. Oh boy there were no seats open. "I'm sorry I don't see any open." I said hoping not to make a big scene. "Oh there has to be. Ah! Why don't you go sit next to Mr. Irving, he was late to." I make my way over and as I see him, he waves with a smile on his face. But it was the kind of why am I here smile. I plopped down right next to him and took out my laptop. I immediately started taking notes. The class seemed to drag on forever and me and Mr. Irving never talked. She finally said class was over and I packed up my bags to leave. I started to walk out and heard a voice say, "Hey wait up! Purple shirt." I turned around and he was talking to me. "Oh hey sorry." I said wondering why he was even talking to me. "I don't believe I ever got your name." "I'm Aly. What's your name Mr. Irving." I said with a little smile on my face. "I'm Kyrie." He said with a big smile. "Wait! As in Kyrie Irving?" "Well duh? Have you heard of me or something?" "Who hasn't your the best basketball player in the country as of now!" "Aye I wouldn't say the best." Then he winked at me. I blushed and said, "I have to get to my next class. See you tomorrow!" Then we both went our separate ways. I walked over towards the library and called Kyle. "Kyle!! You won't believe what happened!" I said freaking out. "What?" He sounded worried. "I'm chemistry partners with Kyrie Irving!" "Really?" "Ya! I just came back from talking to him! He seems super nice!" "Oh um cool." He said sounding concerned. "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I have to go. Love you!" "Wait. What's wrong?" But then he hung up. "I'll just text him later." I said to myself out loud.

Kyrie's POV

As I was walking back I couldn't stop thinking about that adorable little smile she had. "Hey Ryan!" I said heading towards the table he was at. "How was chemistry with the new chick?" "How do you know she is new?" "Everyone does. She is a stud at basketball player. Kinda like you." Hm... That makes her even more attractive. I sat down at the same table and asked Ryan, "Do you think she has a boy friend?" "Ya I heard she does. But he goes to school at Harvard. And trust me long distance relationships never work out." He was right luckily. "Oh shoot I'm going to be late." Then I stood up out of my chair suddenly and walked quickly down the hall way. "Late for what?" I heard Ryan shout. Luckily, I packed my high tops and a ball into my locker this morning. Then I headed up to the gym to workout.

3 hours later I went down to the gym to shoot around. When I got down there Aly was shooting around to. This was my time to impress her. I first started off a few right and left handed layups. She hadn't really noticed me yet. Then I started taking three pointers, half court shots, and even dunks. I was making everything and the only problem was she never turned around. Not even once!
