Ben and I pull up at the basketball room for training and I wasn't exactly surprised who I saw there,.....Kai,he was trying out for the team and believe me he's got real skills,well I could tell that he's already earned his place in the team judging by the way coach watched him with a smirk on his face,and whispered "now that's captain material".
I wasn't the captain though but I know how hard Jace worked to earn his post as captain and now coach is easily considering someone else,that's not right but nevertheless Jace is already captain so nothing's gonna happen or so I thought......until coach said, tryouts for the post of captain is open and I couldn't help but notice the smirk on kai's face, that for some reason enraged me but I couldn't help but wonder,if coach really open that post for a good reason or just because of Kai,
Kai come over here!,coach shouted now you've got real skills kid and I'm certain there's more from where that came from, welcome to the team kid,
Walking across me I could notice his stare but I was  looking away pretending not to notice,
Alright K.J fall in,..yes coach I responded, now it's time to show this nigga what mad skills look like,being handed the ball for the first time I swiftly moved through my opponents and gave a dunk,then I sighted the look on Ben's face being like dude what's up!,then I apologized because we had to do this together,I noticed the amazement on kai's face and as much as I really want to keep him in shock,I really care about my bro more,then we became a dynamic duo swiftly dribbling and scoring,I noticed Jace was proud seemed like he's been noticing everything and was applauding me for not allowing my desire to corner to ruin my friendship with Ben,and to me that's who you call a leader,not someone with just skills and a thirst for fame
Good ball,K.J keep it up, said coach and don't forget tryout for the post of captain is open,oh no coach I'm good I said thinking that'll make Jace but for some reason he wasn't,
Later that day.......,what's the chemistry between you and Kai,Jace asked?
Oh well...bad blood, I responded
Very funny K.J but you shouldn't let that guy get under your skin,he could bring out the worst in you,ok ?
I've always seen Jace as a big brother, always ready to set me straight whon I seem to be doing wrong,ok I responded,by the way you didn't seem happy when I turned down coaches offer for captain, don't you still want it ?
K.J you know I'll be leaving soon,I can't handle both captain and my exams,I need someone else to take on that role and not just anyone I want you to take it,ok
That's when I remembered that Jace will soon graduate,like he knew what I was thinking..
Don't worry K.J you'll be fine I know you will
I slightly nodded and walked away
Lunch time was normally Ben and I with some other guys but now it was Rosa and Ivory and we could fill the tension between both of them as they say across each other, stirring each other in the eye with every bite of sandwich they had,then suddenly someone else sat down too,he wasn't really had to notice because his muscular body gave him away,
I wasn't really planning on saying anything,my plan was to ignore him the whole time but I guess the girls had a different plan,can we help you they both echoed......,oh no I just like myself when I'm sitting close to pretty ladies,he said feeling himself almost acting like he was trying to seduce them,well I don't think these pretty ladies want to sit with you,Rosa snapped,
Why? Am I too attractive?
I could already feel Rosa's rage as she grabbed her drink wanting to spill it on him but I stopped her just in time,well I guess I forgot about Ivory because the moment I stopped Rosa Ivory took the honor of spilling the drink on him herself but nevertheless it's like this guy had no shame because even at that he was still full of himself and started making comments that she should just admit she likes him instead of trying to humiliate him
I don't know why but I think at that moment I couldn't be quiet any longer,I guess I didn't like what he said
What exactly do you want Kai?
What I want? I just want to sit with the pretty ladies he said with an ironic smile which showed he was lying? 
Oh you and I both know that's not true, so what exactly do you want?
What I want is to beat you,to make you miserable,and I want to surpass you in everything..
Why? you don't even know me,oh well I know you are the reason Julius is so despised by almost everyone,
What?I asked so curious,what does Julius have to do with this ?
Well since none of you noticed I'll tell you, Julius is my cousin by the look on everyone's face I could tell I wasn't the only one that was shocked .......
