It was Friday morning and I was waiting outside of Amani's house. Today was our last day of school before we go on Winter break.
Lately, me and shorty have been texting a lot. I'm not even a texter but I have been making sure I text her every day. Not just making sure but I actually be looking forward to texting this girl. It's driving me crazy how much I rely on her already.
Her door opened and she scurried out locking the door behind her. She quickly walked over to the passenger side and got in. Once she was settled in the car she turned towards me and grinned.
"Guess what?" She said
"What?" I asked hesitantly
"I brought you a granola bar, and I'm actually gonna give it to you this time!" She explained. She seemed proud of herself for remembering.
Through texting, I learned that she was supposed to give me one the last time I took her to school, but she forgot. Then she ate it in one of her classes.
Amani held up the bar towards me. I laughed and took it from her.
"You weren't playing when you told me about that huh?" I said, in between my laughs.
"Nope, now eat." She said opening one for herself.
"Yes ma'am," I responded.

We pulled up to the school and hopped out. We walked into the front entrance together. Chris was there standing outside the doors with a couple of other niggas.
When we got close enough he recognized me and Amani.
"Yo, what up!" He called out to us. Amani walked over towards him and I followed behind.
"Hey, Chris." She said I dapped him up saying wassup as well.
"You ready for tryouts tonight?" Chris asked me. "You know you still have yet to show me if you're any good on the court."
"Yeah, nigga I'm ready," I told him brushing him off. I don't need to do much talking to prove myself, cause it'll all show once it comes down to playing the game.
"Oh, he trying out too?" One of the niggas Chris was talking to butted in. The other one left earlier.
"Oh yeah, this is my cousin Vinny, and this is KB" Chris introduced us.

Vinny reached out his hand toward me. I looked at it for a bit, contemplating if I wanted to be nice. Deciding to be nice since Mani was with me, I accepted his hand dapping him up.
"How you doin, man." He said.
"I'm coo, so you trying out too or something?" I asked him.
"Yea, both of y'all trying out and y'all both just moved here." Chris explained, "Vinny wasn't supposed to start school until the next semester, but I convinced him to start today so he can try out for the team."
