{ sotc : feel me flow - naughty by nature }

AFTER WE FINISHED training, we all got taken to this eating hall to have some breakfast. as we got to the eating hall, i chose to sit by myself. so i sat by myself on a table, sadly that didn't happen. as i was sitting down with my toast, a brown haired girl and blonde haired boy sat beside both of my sides. and in front of me was the three most annoying people ever, hall, portman and averman.

why do they have to come sit here i complained to myself. as they sat in their seats, i was dying inside. i then remembered what my dad told me, so i tried to ignore them. but as i was eating, i could feel eyes on me, so i looked up. and of course, i was right, they were looking at me. "do youse need something ?" i questioned them

"hey, im connie !" the brown haired girl said

"and im eating." i said

"come on ry-"

"it's ruthless to you" i said as i cut off averman

"okay, ruthless, you gotta have some kind of kindness in you. besides, we are your new team, so maybe it's good to make some friends" averman advised

"fine." i said as i placed my toast down. "what do youse want?"

"im guy, and you must've already met my girlfriend, connie" said the blonde haired boy

"how amazing is that" i said sarcastically with a sarcastic grin

"hey, uh, ryan" said hall

"what ?" i asked

"sorry about earlier" he apologised

"it's okay. now can i eat in peace ?" i asked

they all then nodded their head and i went back to eating in peace. as i was eating, they were all discussing about our photo on the wheaties box, which was really gross. if that gets out to compton, my reputation will be ruined. i continued to eat as they were talking.

after a few minutes, mr tibbles then showed us our new jersey. everyone quickly ran up to go grab it, but i still chose to finish my food. a few seconds went passed, and guy came back with both of our jerseys. "here, ruthless" he said

"oh.. shots" i thanked

"shots ?" he asked

"it's like, another word for thanks" i explained

"ahh, okay" he replied

i then started to examine my jersey, and it was ugly AS FORK. like what kind of stupid ass name is hendrix usa? i can't believe im playing for this chat team.

AS WE WENT to go look at our new jerseys, i eventually found mine. then i thought it was a good idea to find ryan's jersey, since that would be a great way to start a conversation with her. because that girl is very hard to talk to. she's not like the other girls in illinois, they all fall for me in just a second. but ryan, she just seems very cold hearted.. but not for long. and to be honest, she's very pretty, especially coming from compton.

as i was looking for ryan's jersey, i looked up to see that germaine was holding two jerseys. i had my eyes locked on him as he walked back to his seat and give ryan her jersey. that motherfucker i said to myself. why is he grabbing other girls jerseys ? doesn't he have a girlfriend too ? he just stole my chance to talk to her.

WHILE EVERYONE WAS checking out each other's jersey, i was still examining mine. i couldn't tell if this was a joke or not. i was still pissed about how ugly they were. i don't know, i just have a thing for getting mad if a design doesn't look nice. after a few seconds, guy then spoke up. "how do you feel about the jersey ? it's nice, but it's just eh" he said

"i know right. i don't know how the rest of them could like this stupid design" i said

"for real, even my girlfriend, connie" he said

we both then turned our heads to see what he was talking about. and as we did, we found a connie complimenting a hispanic guys jersey, and they were just basically flirting, but not. if you know what i mean. i then turned my head to find a glum guy. "what's wrong ?" i asked

"i don't know. today connie said that luis is a good looking skater. in front of my face. cant you believe that ?!" he asked

"well maybe she's just tryna be nice, you know ?" I assumed

"maybe.." guy trailed off. "hey ruthle-"

"please. call me, ryan" i insisted

"alright. ryan, wanna be friends ?" he asked with a smile on his face

to be honest, i've never actually been friends with a white guy. most of my friends are either hispanic, african-american, or polynesian. so being friends with a white guy was new for me, but i took the offer. "aight." i responded with a smile

after a few minutes, someone came sitting next to me. i assumed it was connie, since that was where she was sitting, but it wasn't. as i turned around, sitting next to me was a small asian kid. "uhm, hey ?" i said awkwardly

"hi. im kenny" he replied

"ayo, you're that figure skater, aye ?" i asked

"correct" he said

"damn, your skating is actuals fire" i replied

"thanks" he said with a smile

i thought that if i could be friends with a white guy, why can't i be friends with an asian guy too.

"hey kenny, im guy, and this is ryan" guy spoke up

"youse have peculiar names, well not you ryan. but for a girl, then yes" he said

"i get that a lot" i said

"well, wanna be our friend ?" guy asked kenny

"that would be nice" he said

wow, i can't believe i actually made two friends. after that, all i felt was joy. i wanted to text my dad, telling him about the friends i made, but we didn't have our phones on us.
