"Go", he says. We walk from the door and I say, "Thank you". She really didn't need to do that, I get suspended for shit like this all the time. "I'm sorry about the girlfriend and you being gay thing. I didn't want you to get in any trouble because of me", she apologized. "It's ok, I don't care what these people think. I see them all as puppets on a grand stage", I laugh. "Well thanks for not being mad. I'll stay after school with you to set up for the pep rally too", she offered. "Really? Thanks", she smiled. We were in the office for some time so school was out. It was time for Beyoncé to try out for the basketball team.
"Do you actually want to try out or you're just doing this because Coach asked you to?", I asked curios. "A little bit of both. I guess basketball is fun and why not have more fun shit in my life you know", she explained. "Well I hear you", I smile. I liked Beyoncé's mindset. She seemed free spirited with a unique soul. She spoke her mind without any one's acceptance or approval. She was changed into her training clothes and now we were headed to the gym. The usual people tried out for the team. We had Nicole, Jessica, Gabby and Danny, then Melissa. After them didn't really matter because they were either the best or coach favored, I'll let you decide that.
"Beyoncé?", Chasity waves us over. "Hey. I didn't know you played ball", she told her. "I didn't know you played ball. That's a huge shocker", they both seemed surprised. "This is Onika, you may know her already", I smiled. I knew Chasity well we got in trouble a lot together, she was a person that knew what she wanted. And what she wanted she got, I respected that about her.
"Yes. Onika's good people for sure", she nods at me. They finish talking and Bey walks me up the bleachers. "My momma better be watching me right now", she smiled and kissed her crucifix. "You got this", I hug her. I sort of melted into her arms so we held the hug for a while. I knew she would make a big deal about it after.
"Thanks Nicki I needed that", she smiles.
Her and this little nickname she has for me is cute. Now she stood there staring at me for no reason. "What?", I smile. "Nothing pretty", I blush. "Ok now go kick their asses", I laugh. "I will. Make sure you watch me out there", she winks. That girl is getting me out of my normal little zone, and the odd thing is I liked it.
Coach made all the girls stretch first then he rounded all of them up. All the girls were separated into two groups but, I didn't know how they were divided.
What I did know was that Beyoncé was in a group with Jessica, Danny, and Melissa. They were the top shooters for our school, she had some competition on her hands. "Now we're going to test your basket skills", he explains with an evil grin. "The twist is you'll have to guard your opponent from scoring like in a real game", he smirks. "Give me Beyoncé and Melissa", he said. Melissa was pretty good she just filed a lot. So that made coach put her in the games even more.
It was Beyoncé's ball first. Melissa slapped the ball from the air when she went for a layup. Bey brushes it off and guarded Melissa.
Melissa pushes Beyoncé as she guarded her from shooting a three pointer. I hope Beyoncé was just taking it easy on her, in her favor.
Beyoncé dribbled the ball as Melissa tried to "accidentally" foul her. Beyoncé successfully shot and made Melissa crash to the ground with how fast she was. "Sorry", Beyoncé tried to help her up. She yanked her hand back and stood up scoffing.
"Melissa take some laps. Ok now give me Beyoncé and Danny", he spoke. Danny and Beyoncé got on the line and impatiently waited on the Coach's whistle to start. Danny wasn't as stuck up as her sister though. She actually was chill as ever, I could tolerate her.
She only hung with those assholes because of her sister. Her and her sister were total opposites, TOTAL! Danny was actually good at basketball and Gabby just wanted to be on the team to say she played sports.
