The Warm Up (Discontinued)

Chapter Three

-Jermaine

School was finally over and I was headed to the gym for practice, I was kind of excited because usually the practices before game day were the easiest practices of the week, meaning limited running.

Before I walked through the door into the men's locker room I saw Skye talking to the women's coach. I was kind of curious about what they were talking about but I brushed it off thinking she wanted to be a manager just like any other female and went to change into my practice clothing.

"Aye bro, you seen that girl talking to Coach Griffin?" my nigga Darnell said while lacing up his shoes.

"Yeah, that's Skye, why whats up?" I replied.

"Oh I didnt know you knew her, that's the new PG for the girl's team, I heard she real nice and was one of the top for his class in New York." Darnell said.

"Oh shit I did not know Skye was a hooper, I thought maybe she was a dancer, cheerleader, shit maybe a track runner." I laughed.

"Aye we got 5 more minutes to get on the circle to stretch." My teammate Chris said.

Coach assigned me my locker and I started to get dressed. Thankfully #3 wasnt someone's number so I got to keep the same number from previous seasons. None of the girls seem to like me though on the team, I really dont know why, I don't even know none of their names. They better get used to me though because they have to see my face until the season is over.

I finished lacing my shoes, tied my hair into a low ponytail and tied my headband. Coach gave me extra time to settle in since I am new. I walked into the gym and saw the girl's were doing jumpshot drills, we had to beat a certain number by a certain time, if we didnt we would have to run. I loved these drills because I loved shooting the ball, I mean who doesn't? It was soon my turn to run out and shoot and I stopped at the 3 point line and splashed my shot, then ran to the other side and splashed it again. By the time the clock went off, the goal was to beat 75, we had 104, plus i only missed about 2 shots total.

It was toward the end of practice and it was time to scrimage eachother. Coach picked teams having me with 4 other good girls that were on the team, but she had me guarding the best person that was on the team, her name was Leah and she had a nice shot and okay handles. Leah got the ball and tried to cross me but big mistake, I stole the ball from her and ran and made my lay up. It was their ball again. 2-0. Leah tried to take the shot but she missed and my teammate Trinity passed me the ball, I took the ball down the court and passed it to another girl on my team, Kayla, she hit the shot, with a nice assist from me.

I didn't notice the boys come in, I guess their practice was over but now the other team had the ball. Leah got the ball, and did a nice bounce pass to the Center, Lydia and she made the lay-up. Trinity passed me the ball and Leah was guarding me down the court, I crossed the ball over to the right side back fast to the left side causing Leah to fall so I took the open opprotunity to take the 3 and I made it.

Hearing oohhs and ahhs from the boys made me feel good about myself.

As practice went on the boys were hyping my head up causing me to do more and more.

"Aye Skye?" Leah came up to me as I was about to leave the locker room.

"Yeah whats up Leah?" I asked confused because when I first came she gave me the most stank look ever.

"Newbie, just know that you're not even all that as you think you are, you ain't shit and not taking nobody's place on the court. Stay in your lane and remember I rule the team because I am the captain." She said walking away not giving me time to respond.

"Um okay?" I said, not even stressing her comment. "She just mad I made her ass fall." I laughed walking to my car.

"Don't worry about her, she's just a bitch and she's mad because she thought she could never be beat but you proved her wrong." Trinity said walking towards me. "Oh and by the way, my name is Trinity but you may know that now, you're really good and we should workout sometime" she said giving me her phone to put my number in.

"That's fine, I'll look forward to it." I said waving bye to her and getting into my car.

I began to turn on my car and get the AC on and the radio on to my favorite station until i heard a knock on my window.

"What now?" I huffed, i'm just ready to leave! I saw it was the same nigga that gave me a tour of the school. I rolled down my window seeing what he wants.

"Yo I didn't know you hooped!" Jermaine said with a smirk.

"Yeah well now you know..." I fake giggled, a nigga is tired.

"Yeah but you're pretty good, but I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow, don't want you up all night since we do have a big game tomorrow." He said waving and walking away.

Laying down in bed in deep thoughts about the game and Jermaine. I dont know why but when I first saw him he caught my eye, he wasn't eye raping me like everyone else, maybe he thought I was ugly? But Jermaine is sexy as hell and his voice, plus he's smart AND he hoops. He has to have a girlfriend, maybe hoes because he's just too perfect. But why am I thinking about him? I can't like him, I'm not ready to move on from my ex, Justin, I still love him, even though he's all the way in the north and cheated on me multiple times. He said he cheated because I didnt let him take my virginity so he had to get some some other way... I dozed off.

-Jermaine

I finally got home from training and Tay came. I wasn't really feeling her company though, I wanted Skye's company. Tay kept trying to lay up on me but I just wasnt comfortable.

"Jermaine what the fuck is your problem?" She said as I moved away from her touch.

"Nothing's wrong with me, I'm just not comfortable doing this." I said walking to the other couch.

"Not comfortable doing what Jermaine? Loving me?" Skye said with a cheer rolling down her cheek. Her tears don't phase me, I'm not going to change the way I feel just over a damn tear.

"Sk-Tay, we don't date anymore, that's not my job. Yes I still have love for you but I don't love you." I said dodging the pillows she was throwing at me.

"Why don't you love me Jermaine? Is it because I'm ugly? Is it because we never fucked? What is is Jermaine?" She said still throwing pillows at me. I don't even remember us having soo much pillows on the couch.

"Tay chill out now, you need to go." I said handing her her jacket and shoes and pointing to the door.

"Fine then, I'll leave, fuck you and your new bitch. Just know you will see me again." She said walking out the door.

I honestly did not have time for Tay. She wasn't like this when I first met her but you know people be flipping like reciprocals.

I did all my hygiene and headed to bed with Skye on my mind. It's too early to say I want her but I want to get to know her.
