Chapter 39

Imani POV

It was Saturday morning and we had a small scrimmage going on that coach organized just to see how we would do in a real scrimmage before pre-season begins. Pre-season wasn't for about 2 months, but I guess that's how D1 basketball works.

Cam and Simone were here along with her roommate, Willow and as we warmed up, she and I kept making eye contact. I wasn't intimidated by her or anything, but I just hated how close she was with my girl. I could tell she had feelings for Simone just by the way she's looking at her right now.

" Aye who's that with yo girl ? " Nya asked as I rebounded the ball for her.

" Her roommate, " I said with disgust as I passed her the ball.

She smirked, "someone jealous ? "

" No, but I can tell she fuck wit Simone, " I replied as she shot and missed of course.

" Gotchu, just let Willow know how it is, " She smirked as I raised my brows.

" Yeah ight, " I mumbled as I made a basket.

" Good job baby ! " I heard Simone yell as I blew her a kiss and smirked at a glaring Willow.

" Alright come on y'all we got 2 minutes till game time ! " Coach said as we began to crowd around him and he discussed the lineup and I was starting of course.

" Alright y'all go make me proud, " Ana said as we laughed and got into our positions. I was doing jump ball, which I always did in high school so I wasn't surprised. The other girl was a few inches shorter than me, so I wasn't worried at all.

The ref threw the ball and I immediately got it and passed it to Q, our point guard. She started dribbling down the court and I got in the paint to get open for her pass. She passed me the ball and then I dunked like the bad bitch I am. After I made it I gridded and stuck my tongue out, cause I gotta be a sassy stud sometimes right ?

Simone and Cam were cheering as Willow just sat beside them silent as I rolled my eyes realizing I needed to stay locked in. The game continued and Sarah and I got most of our points, since we were the ones in the paint.

"3...2...1..." Coach counted down before the buzzer went off and Q shot the ball from half court, missing as we jogged over to him. All the starters played the entire first and second quarter, but I wasn't too tired.

" Alright y'all let's head to the locker room to discuss the game plan for halftime, " Coach said as we nodded and followed after him.

Simone POV

" I'm gonna go to the bathroom, " Willow mumbled as she got up and Cam and I nodded.

When she was out of hearing range Cam immediately spoke up, " you enjoying the glare battle you're causing ? "

" What are you talking about now ? " I asked, raising a brow.

" Now I know you notice the death looks they having with each other, " Cam scoffed as I rose my brows further.

" I'm too busy being supportive and not here for drama unlike you, " I replied, rolling my eyes as he smirked.

" Touché, thanks for the invite again, " He laughed. "but naw it's been going on the whole game, I'm surprised you haven't noticed. "

" Why would they even be doing that ? "

" Simone I know yo ass wear contacts but you not that fucking blind, " Cam rolled his eyes as I gasped, offended.

" Nigga just spit it out, " I said.

" Willow the one who more or less told you to break up wit Mani and you listened. Then you moved in with her and ended up getting back with Mani. It's also obvious that Willow has feelings for you, " Cam explained as I thought about it.
