"I gotta make it, I better make it, I promise if I'm not dead then I'm dedicated."
One of the top female basketball players in her state is Jayce Green. Will she succeed in her journey to play in the WNBA? Or will she face challenges she cannot ove...
"Describe what he looked like," Maya said as she rummaged through the refrigerator.
"He was tall, taller than me."
"Finally," she exclaimed.
I laughed
"He was light skin."
"Like f boy light skin or light skin?"
"He had more of a caramel tone."
"How did his hair look?"
"He had a low cut, I think he's trying to get waves."
"What was he wearing?"
"I didn't pay attention," I admitted, shrugging.
She pulls out her phone and opens Instagram.
"Do you follow your dad on Instagram?"
"No? Why would I?" I questioned.
"Maybe he's on the Warriors? They did draft new players."
"I guess check the Warriors page."
Maya scrolled down until we saw him.
"THAT'S HIM" Maya shouted.
I see a picture of him and my dad.

"What's his name?"
"Jordan Poole."

4:56 am I can't sleep, I have been trying to not look at his page but I couldn't stop. He has a few posts, his jersey number is 3. Should I follow him? That's too weird he doesn't even know me. I check his following. These girls are pretty. I sighed as I charge my phone and go to sleep. -------------
It's a chill Saturday afternoon practice session. We're doing drills and shooting around until Coach Steve Kerr and his team arrive.
"Jay I see your father." She whispered.
"I know."
When I made eye contact with him, he smiled, but I averted my gaze.
A few of the Warriors began shooting around.
"What brings them here?" Ari questioned.
"I think Coach Kerr is scouting," Maya said
"He literally can't scout anyone to his team, fucking stupid. " Kayla said while mugging her.
"Yo chill out, don't talk to her like that," I responded.
Kayla is a junior in college. She has a bad mouth, we don't really fuck with her like that, but she has a really good jumper I guess.
I started to tie my KD's on the bleachers until I made eye contact with him.
Jordan Poole.
I saw that he was talking to Curry until Kayla went up to him. I couldn't really hear their conversation but he laughing so it must have been a really good conversation. She sat down next to him and put her hand on his thigh and I looked away.
"She a hoe," Maya said.
"I don't care about her."
Why am I even mad? I don't know him.
Maya and I are playing together and she almost dunks on me.
"DID YOU SEE THAT BROOOOOOO? Maya shouted.
We gave each other chest bumps.
"Let's not do that, " I said clutching my chest.
She laughs and nods her head.
"I'm coming back I need to get my water bottle," I said
"Okay."
I returned to the locker room and took my Gatorade bottle.
Draymond is on the phone and appears to be speaking to someone.
"All right, love you bye," he said quietly.
I continued walking until I heard my name being called.
When I was younger, he called me by the nickname "JJ."
He yelled "JJ!" a little louder.
"What," I uttered nonchalantly.
"Really nice game yesterday."
"Thanks" I continued walking.
"Jay, how's your mom?"
I stopped my track as I feel tears well up.
"Jay?"
"You left, you don't get to ask about her" I tried not to raise my voice.
"I'm leaving, say hi to my siblings"
I wiped away my tears before I stepped back onto the court.
