Love & Basketball [Book 1]

Chapter 16

Jacob Latimore POV

Bahja calls me and I pick up the phone when I her her laughing. I look at Trevor and Jaden and put it back to my ear. I call her name three times before I threaten to hang up. She says wait and finally tells me why she's laughing. She set Cymphonique up to get arrested.

"Why would you do something like that Bahja?" I ask her frustrated.

"She irritates me." Bahja said.

"So, that's your reason? She irritates you! You are immature. You're a bitch Bahja." I said before I hang up on her.

"So what happened?" Trevor asks.

"Bahja got Cymphonique arrested." I tell them.

"Damn! How?" Jaden asks.

"She set her up." I said.

"How?" Jaden asks again.

"Man if I knew." I said back. I'm mad at Bahja for even stooping that low.

Cymphonique POV

"You only been here fo' a week and already have a damn record. The hell is wrong wit' you Cymphonique? Is havin' a reputation that important to you?" Nicki yells at me and I just sit quiet.

Nicki just shakes her head while she pays attention to the road. I don't bother to say anythin' 'cause I'm pissed. That Bahja hoe set me up and ima get her back. She wanna play that way well I got somethin' fo' her. But 'til that happens I'm stuck on punishment.

Nobody won't even hear me out since I'm guilty. Like how am I guilty when she did it. Nothing's fair 'bout that at all, but no one will listen. Only to that gothic lookin' chick. But two can play that game.

Nicki turns the radio down some mo' so I can't hear the music. I turn and look out of my window. Just ignorin' her now. "I should tell August." Nicki said.

I slide the earbud into my ear and shruggin' as if I care. "Don't fuckin' play wit' me Cym. I am not the one." Nicki said, yankin' it out of my ear.

"What?!" I scream at her. "What do you want me to do? Huh? Bahja set me up and what do I get in return? This bullshit."

"Lil' girl you watch yourself or ima catch another day in jail." Nicki said. I sit back in the seat.

Nicki turns up the radio on full blast and speeds off.
