Standing in front of the full length body mirror that held in the corner of my room, I gazed off at my puffy eye bags that appeared from the previous night when finishing an essay.
As of now, it's eight AM and my brother, Asher has a game with his AAU team in about thirty minutes. It'll be the first time actually seeing him play other than only viewing videos when my mom insists. At the time I was busy with my former, AAU team, but on a high note it ended last Friday with a nice sweep.
Do I have a feeling i'd see Nelson today? Yes, of course. He's literally on the same team as Asher.
Though not in a negative way at all.
From the last time i've seen him, he seems like a nice and kind person.
Flashback. The sound of the doorbell filled every hallway of the two story house. Rapidly, I rushed down to stairs, Figuring how my parents can return from errands so early.
Reaching the last step of the stairs, I felt light-headed from how fast I'd gotten up from gotten up from the pleasant nap, but that didn't matter the second I visualized a frizzy, blonde curly- head from the glass door in front of me.
Fuck, my hairs probably messy right now.
Hurriedly, I patted down both sides and opened the door. My eyes had a mind of their own, landing on a pair of blue ones.
Maybe he's one of Asher's friend?
"Sorry." I snapped out of the gaze to see him showing his blue colored braces.
Why is every guy with braces so damn attractive?
"I'm Avery." I smiled and shook his hand. "You're good." He assured. "I'm Nelson. Is Asher home?"
"Yeah, come in. He should be upstairs in his room." I distended the door and resorted to the side. "Alright, thanks." Nelson's grin didn't once leave his face as he walked towards the newel.

Holy fuck, she's gorgeous.
Walking up the stairs, I realized having to just interact with the prettiest girl ever seen.
But who even is she?
I knocked on my friend and former teammate, Asher's bedroom door. "Come in!" I heard shout from the other side of the wall. "Hey, man." I pushed the door open and made my way to dab him up. "What's up." His eyes stayed focused on the game.
Fuck, I have to ask.
Everyone knows how it goes when talking to the older brother.
Are they even related?
"Who's that brunette girl that greeted me in?" I asked, confidently. Finally, he made contact with me but with his left eyebrow up.
Just kill me with the controller.
"Oh!" He exclaimed and took off his headphones. "That's my little sister, Avery."
I nodded with a pout, looking away to cover the bright grin on my face.
End of flashback.
Asher, Our Mother, and I walked into the gym the game were hosted in.
My father, a Petroleum engineer, was always busy with work. When he were to receive the chance, he would make his way out to attend Asher and I's games and support.
I looked over to my older brother but he had disappeared with all the people surrounding the sideline's.
"Cam!" I shouted over the crowd for his attention.
Weird I know Cam and not technically Nelson? I know. I've known Cam for a while since obviously he was my brother's coach, but as well we'd see eachother here and there so we've gotten use to the little greets.
Cam turned around from talking to his camera that was held by a man with a cap. "Hey, little one! How's basketball been?"
"Good! My last game was Friday." I told him with a smile. "Good, good. Well, since your season has ended.. how about you come tryout for my girls AAU team? I would love to have you on the team."
Before a word came out of my mouth, he introduced me as the 'girl prodigy' to his viewers. I waved and then responded back with an excited grin, "Hell yeah! When are tryouts?"
I'm always up for another season of basketball. Especially if it's with Cam as the head coach.
"That I don't know yet, but I'll let Asher know to tell you when I find out." He replied. We both said our good byes and with that, I wandered off to find my mother in the huge crowd. I never enjoyed big amounts of people together, but the little open path led me to her bright cyan Gucci shades.
Before I could inform Cam's new information to her, I felt a ball gently hit my bare ankle. "My bad." Nelson went down to grab it, he then looked up and our eyes met.
"Hey, Avery! Came to see the game?" He went in for a hug. "Yup." I pulled away with bright cheeks.
"Looks like my two prodigy's aren't locked in." I heard and turned around to see Cam talking to his camera. I playfully rolled my eyes and returned to the short conversation. "I'll see you.. after the game?" Nelson recovered from Cam's remark.
"Of course, yeah." I nodded.

Tiredly, after every game, I walked out of the locker room with my bag. I turned the corner to see crowds of supporters shouting for my attention behind the gates but that all went to one pretty girl, Avery.
"Hey, Ave!" I exclaimed over the crowd and she looked up from her phone. "Hi, Nels!" She had a huge smile on her face.
That damn dimple was just adorable.
"You going to the girls tryouts soon?" I grabbed my water bottle from the side of my bag. "Mhm. Cam said he'd let me know what day, are you going?" She looked up to me.
"Mhm, I'll be there. You're a point guard, right?" I asked.
I sound like a fucking stalker. She's probably wondering how I know she's a point guard
"Yup. Have been since fifth grade."
It's like you couldn't not smile around her. Those eyes, brown silky hair, her personality. It's like she's perfect.
Asher walked towards his little sister and I, "Nelson, you tryna sleep over twin?"
