How Grayson Allen saved my Basketball career.

Chapter 8

(Shelby's POV)
I was eating lunch with Steph, when Grayson FaceTimed me.
"Hey, Grayson. How's your day?" I ask him.
"Good. You?" He replies.
"Good. Who's puppy is that?" I ask him.
"Ohhh. Yeah. She's mine."
"Do you have a name for her yet?" I ask.
"Not yet. Could you help me find a good name for her?" He asks me.
"Sure."
"Thank you."
"Yeah. Your welcome. So what about the name, Chloe?" I ask.
"That's okay. But I would like to get a few other ideas before I name her." He says.
"Okay. Well I have to go to class, text me?"
"Sure." He says hanging up the FaceTime.

DURING CLASS
I get a text from Grayson.
'Hey cutie. Here is a picture of my puppy so u can think of some names for her.' with a photo attached to the message.
'Thanks G.'
'No problem cutie.'
I show Steph the picture.
"Awe. She's super cute, and the fact that it's a picture of the both of them is even more cuter." She says. And giggles.
"What's going on back there girls?" my teacher asks us.
"I got a picture sent to me of a puppy that my friend owns." I say.
"Would you mind showing the class?" She asks.
"Umm. Sure. I guess." I say as I get up from my seat and go to the front of the class room and put the picture of Grayson and the puppy on my phone under the projector.
"Aweee!!!" All the girls in my class say in unison.
"Thank you Shelby for sharing the photo with us." My teacher says as I return to my seat. "Who is your friend in the picture?" She asks.
"Ohh. Umm. That's my friend Grayson. Allen a Duke basketball player." I say.
"Okay. Well don't let him get in the way of you studying for finals." She says.
"I won't. I promise." I reply.

A FEW DAYS LATER
FINALS
I'm happy that I just finished my last final which was gym. It was hard but I finished it. I still had about 30 minutes until school is out so I head to the gym with Steph and we shoot some hoops.
"Have you thought of any other names for Grayson's puppy?" Steph asks me.
"Nope. I've been busy with finals, I haven't had time to think about any." I reply.
"Okay. What about the name G?"
"Short for what?"
"Nothing. Just G."
"Okay. So like his nickname that the guys have him?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. I will give him the suggestion later." I say shooting and swishing five threes in a row.
"Dang girl, I don't think you need to go to that retreat this summer." Steph says.
"Umm.... I'm going. I know I'm good but I think this will help me get better."
"Sure. You are just in it to see Grayson."
"Yeah right."
"Sure." She says shooting a free throw.
The final bell rings and Steph and head out to my car. Which I forgot to mention that I turned 16 and got my drivers license!!! Well we hop into my jeep and head to get something to eat since today was only a half-day.
We go to subway and get food. We decide to sit there and eat. I just opened my sub and get ready to take a bite, when my pocket vibrates like crazy.
"Hey cutie." Grayson says as I answer the FaceTime call.
"Get Grayson. Have you named the puppy yet?" I ask him.
"Nope. I still don't have a name for her. But I need to find one soon or her name is going to be Girl." He says.
"Okay. What about the name G ?" I ask him.
"Like just the letter? Like the nick name the guys gave me?"
"Yeah. Just the letter G. "
"Okay. Do u have any other suggestions?" He asks.
"What about Natty?"
"Like for national champs?"
"Yeah."
"That's pretty good i guess." he says.
"Okay. Just tell me her name when u pick one."
"Okay will do. I got to go, practice. Bye."
"Bye." I say hanging up the call.
