"Hey, Hey" Jake said from behind
"What" Afeefa said
Jake ran up in front of Afeefa
Afeefa kept walking and Jake walked backwards facing Afeefa
"Can you explain to me. What you were on about earlier." Jake said
"You want me to explain. Okay. The person that brings you lunch everyday. What's her name. The person that Carriers your bags for you. What's his name. The person that tells you answers in class. What's his name. Name one of them. I bet you anything you don't know any of their names. You act like your so nice and act like your freinds with them. And those poor people are blinded by your popularity that they don't see." Afeefa said
"I do know there names" Jake got offended
"Okay then name one of them." Afeefa said
"Brandon." Jake said
"I highly doubt that's not even their name." Afeefa said
Jake was walking backwards on the right side and fell back into the bushes
"Ahhhh" Jake yelled falling back in a bunch of bushes disappearing
"JAKEEE" Afeefa yelled getting scared and went through the bushes
Jake fell into a lake and was stood kind of swimming in the lake
"What the hell you scared me" Afeefa said
Jake laughed and pulled Afeefa in by the arm
"Ahhhhhhhh ahhhhh I can't swim" Afeefa said
"Oh I didn't know." Jake panicked and grabbed Afeefa
Afeefa then grabbed his head and threw it down in the water splashing water on his head
"Your so bad why would you lie" Jake laughed as the two played in the lake For a while
Before they got out and sat on the shore area to dry up a bit
————-
Meanwhile everyone was at practice 1 hour before the game
"Does anyone know why Jake didn't show up." Coach said
"I don't know he's probably still doing the project." Yeonjun said
"He better be here on time for the game" coach said getting anxious
————
Afeefa and Jake were now sat
"You know I never wanted to play basketball." Jake said staring at the lake with the sun setting slowly
"Then why do you play" Afeefa said
"Because my dad played and he really wanted me too play as well." Jake said
"So you play for your dad." Afeefa said
"No. It's not like that. We always played for fun together when I was growing up. And I got on the school team and played for fun. But now it's more than just a game. He's to into it and pressures me. It's not like it used to be. It's like I have to win every game or it's the end of the world." Jake said
"Then why don't you talk to your dad. He will understand" Afeefa said
"I don't think he will. He had to stop playing because of his knee injury. So I'm his only hope. I think that's why he pressures me so much." Jake said
Afeefa looked at him with sympathetic eyes
"Are you happy?" Afeefa asked randomly
"What?" Jake looked confused
"Are you happy. Like I know the basketball thing is kind of forced. But are you happy in general." Afeefa said
"You know this is the first time anyone ever asked me that." Jake said smiling
"I think I'm happy. I'm living. I have food. And a home. Isn't that all a person needs." Jake said
"Yea, I guess." Afeefa said
"This is the most honest I've ever been with anyone before." Jake said
Afeefa smiled down and then looked up at the sunset
