There was 2 min left in the second quarter the score was 20-15. Matisse and Shake went in for Tobias and Ben. Tobias came over and sat in front of me, he kept looking back and giving me weird looks. The 2nd quarter ended, the score was 59-58 wizards lead. I was walking towards the tunnel with Tobias in front of me, everyone went into the locker room while I held Tobias back.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"What do you mean?" He replied.
"Why are you giving me weird looks?"
He didn't respond and continued to walk to the locker room. I walked into my office and listened to Doc talk to the boys.
There was 5 min left in halftime, I walked back out to the stadium. I stopped by Laylah's seat to talk to her, I told her about how Tobias was giving me odd looks. We talked for 2 mins until Joel called me over so that I could get rebounds for him and Ben.
I went over to Joel and passed him the ball a couple of times before halftime ended. The starting 5 went onto the court. Seth passed the ball to Danny, Danny was wide open but Danny being Danny waited for someone to come and then took the shot.
The 3rd quarter went by very quickly, the Wizards led by 10, 83-73. I don't understand what was going wrong besides the defense, we were trying everything on offense but trying to put an orange ball in a metal circle. I mean it is not that- "LAYLAH!" Jalen yelled.
"What," I asked.
"You want to grab dinner after the game with me and Devonta, if you'd like Paris can join us," he replied. Maybe he wasn't so bad I thought, I am gonna have to ask Paris if she would like to join though.
"Yeah, I'm down but I'm going to have to ask Paris, she might be busy after the game," I replied watching Matisse dunk on Bradley Beal. We all got up and started cheering, my foot slipped and I nearly fell backward. I felt a hand on my back as I slowly leaned forward regaining balance.
"Dang girl you okay? Almost fell and busted ya head," Devonta laughed as Jalen helped me. I glared at him and looked at Jalen who was now staring deep into my soul.
"Thanks for helping unlike someone," I said looking at Jalen causing him to chuckle.
"No problem, gotta make sure my girl is okay, can't have you breaking anything," he replied and I smiled. Wait, did he just call me "my girl" not that I minded it.
The game had just finished, the 76ers had won 113-107. After dabbing everyone up, we went back to the locker room. Everyone was celebrating the first of many wins this season. I walked into my office and I started cleaning my desk up. I heard my phone beep.
