The Warm Up (Discontinued)

Chapter One

"Perfect ths last drill perfectly then we can leave." my trainer Fred said as he handed me back my ball.

Fred was a chill dude I worked out with 5 days a week during our offseason and 3 days a week during the season whenever we didn't have games. He noticed me at one game when we played against E.E Smith High, he saw my potential to be great and wanted to help me achieve my goals to continue to hoop in college and hopefully I could go pro.

I began to do the drill which was going to help me mostly on fast breaks with a defender trying to guard me. I ran my fastest while dribbling from the free throw line on the opposite goal, crossed over at the top of the key and went behind my back once i hit the block and went up for an easy layup.

"Nice Work Jermaine." Fred said handing me a water bottle. "Are you ready for your season opener Friday against Cape Fear? You know last year in the conference championships you guys had them but lost by 2 points due to them hitting a three while when you guys were winning 45-43."

"Yeah I'm ready, last year coach was sleeping on me but now this year he knows he can count on me in any gametime situation and now we have that transfer from Atlanta this year." I said putting my sweatpants on over my shorts and switching off my Kobe Elite 9s to my Nike slides.

"Yeah I guess you're right, but we're going to keep working so this time you guys can come back for revenge and catch the dub. But like i said, good work today, keep it up and you'll get major D1 offers, we'll be back tomorrow after your practice, same time." He said getting his bag of equipment ready and dapping me up."

I can't lie, I was nervous for this game, first game for my senior year and it was against a rival. I began searching for my black on black benz tapping the unlock button as I slid in.

All my life I want money and power
Respect my mind or die from lead shower
I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower
So I can fuck the word for 72 hours
I patted around my pants looking for my phone as one hand remained on the wheel. Finally finding it I slid the answer icon to answer the call, it was just my brother Zach.

"Aye whats up?" I said

"Aye you know that house that was for rent across the street for a good while?" He questioned me

"Yeah, why whats up?" I said suddenly interested in the conversation.

"Well when I came home from work I saw a Uhaul in the driveway, the family is a single mom, a girl and a boy that looks your age and a young girl. You should introduce yourself to them whenever you see them, the girl's pretty cute." He said.

"I'm fine bro, I don't have time for a female but I will introduce myself. But I'm about to walk into the house so I'll talk to you later." I said parking on the side by the mailbox.

That house has been up For Rent for the longest, no one wanted to buy it because our neighborhood was kind of rough, only because these teenagers want to come ruin it. The thing is, our neighborhood was a nice middle classed neighborhood, it was most definitley worse houses in da ville but you know niggas don't know how to take care of nice things and that's why they won't ever be anything in life. You see me? I choose not to get involved with things like that because I'm thankful for the roof over my head, the nice clothes I wear, the grades I bring home and basketball, nothing will ever ruin that, not even a female.

As I entered the house, I was welcomed to a nice smell of shrimp alfredo and bread on the counter. My mouth watered as my mother was slightly buttering the surface.

"Hello mama" I said as I hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hello son. You stink.", she said slicing the bread with a scrunched up face.

"It's the sign of a good workout, but I'll come back down after I take my shower." I said laughing making my way up the stairs. Before I dropped my stuff off in the room, I went into the bathroom turning on the shower hoping when I came back the water would be just the way I like it. Warm. Hot water dries out my skin and cold water is just not my thing. I grabbed my Nike duffle bag throwing it in my room and putting my phone on the charger and headed right back to the bathroom.

After I took care of mt hygiene I headed back down the stairs to the dining room table seeing the delicious plates of shrimp alfredo with parmessan shreds on top, shrimp covered with just the right amount of old bay seasoning and a slice of bread on the side. Mama better have enough for seconds.

When I was finished with my meal, having 2 plates of the alfredo I headed back to my room cutting on ESPN on my tv seeing many different highlights from yesterday's NBA game.

My phone vibrated indicating I had a text, I looked and saw it was Tay.

Tay is my ex from last year, she was everything I wanted at the time, she was tall, she had a nice figure, she wasn't thick but she had just the right amount of everything. C cup, little booty but it looked good on her, she had nice long kinky curly hair, dark skinned, amazing personality but we didn't workout because I just didn't have time for her, I was always either studying or doing something basketball related. We just chose to be friends and I havent messed with anyone after that, plus a nigga still a virgin.

Tay - Jermaine!?

Me - Yes ma'am?

Tay - I miss you

Me - Tay, we see eachother at school all the time, what do you want?

Tay - Well damn, but I want to see you.

Me - Come over tomorrow then I guess after my training.

Tay - Okay.

The time went by quickly and I saw it was 11:00, I decided to end my night and go to bed, just hoping game day could come closer.
