One to blame

Cleo's POV

"I'll go but I'm not babysitting your cousin" I said as I folded my arms

"All I'm asking you to do is behave" my best friend Fynland said to me as I brushed my hair

We were supposed to be going to her cousin's basketball game and hanging out with him afterwards

Out of the entire 5 years that I've known Fyn I've never spoken with any of her family members. The only thing she's ever told me about them was that they wanted her to have the fairytale life and she just wasn't into it.

According to her they were the worst people on the planet but then again I feel like everyone views their parents that way when they're tired of being told what to do and how to act.

"Who said I wasn't gonna behave?"

I watched as she shot me a suspicious look before busting out in a fit of laughter

She was right.

Our personalities couldn't be any more different than they already are.

Fyn was the non confrontational friend; she hated drama and would much rather let things slide than say that she was uncomfortable or unhappy.

She was the type of girl who got boy crazy and would tolerate the most despicable things just to keep her man happy. In my mind she was delusional but in reality she had been sheltered so much that she's not exactly street smart.

I on the other hand was extremely vocal about anything and everything; Nothing got past me and I never let shit slide.

I felt that if a person could disrespect you and cross your boundaries at least once then they'd do it again if they had the chance.

My Mom has always told me that I only seen the worst in people but in reality I see things for what it is.

Once we were both ready we got into Fyn's car and she started to drive

"Pretty weird that a high school game starts this late" I said as I looked at the time on my phone

"Cleo he's 27, he doesn't play for a high school" she laughed as she drove

Now I was beyond confused because where the hell were we going then?

I just sat back and enjoyed the ride until I noticed that we weren't that far from the spectrum center

"So what's his name and how come you've never mentioned him before ?" I asked attempting to make small talk

"His name is Jaylen and we were at odds for a while but we've gotten closer over the last 6 months" she replied as she continued to drive

Now I don't know shit about basketball or the players except for the well known people like Micheal Jordan, Kobe, and shaq.

I've never watched any other the games either because that wasn't something I was into and I was hesitant to even come today but Fyn seemed excited so I wanted to be there for her.

I relaxed as she parked the car

This was the Lakers stadium so I knew they had to be playing but I'm pretty sure she would've told me that her cousin played for our home team...I'd also assume that she'd care enough to at least watch the games on TV

"What team is playing tonight?" I asked as we got out of the car

"Boston Celtics"

I wasn't familiar with them at all but as I looked around I noticed a lot of people with green jerseys on
