Sonia
"Hey will you go home for the break?" MJ asked as I wore my basketball shoes.

"Yes my mum said she had something important to tell me " I replied not as enthusiastic as I hoped to be.

"Are you going?" I asked despite knowing she had a rocky  relationship with her family.

" I don't know yet " her voice was low and I couldn't help but feel bad .

" I could have invited you over but that would just be disturbing for the both us " like we live in rentals on the lower side of Kiambu .

The place is noisy and trash is all over,  I can't even imagine MJ walking over a used baby diaper.

" Yeah plus I don't think your mother would appreciate any visitors "

" Your right " I said as we made  our way to basketball court.  But I would like to show her where I grew up my room my favorite spots everything.

We've being practicing for over  an hour when it started raining heavily when  some people came to find shelter in the gym disrupting our session.

" Everyone huddle up " MJ called as she blew the whistle and I couldn't help but  admire her a little bit more.

" So practice is cancelled and if anyone wants to leave they can and the coach said he will announce the new members on Friday " oh no so soon I thought he would at least wait another week.

" Chill " I heard Kora say as she  placed her hands on my shoulders , " uh what if I don't make the team " I whined.

" Stop overthinking you will be fine " and as the words left her mouth I wiped my sweaty palms with my jersey .

" Blue is definitely your color "

" You think so ?"

" Yeah nobody ever looked this hot in uniform "

" Stop " I said trying to hide my blush.

" Roomy wanna make a run for it ?"

MJ asked interrupting our conversation and since when did she start calling me roomy ?

" Seriously ?" Kora asked walking away.

" What was that ?" I asked noting the tension between the two.

" Nothing " she said trying to brush me off.

" It doesn't look like nothing " I pressed making her roll her eyes. What?I want to know.

" I said it nothing why you gotta be so nosy all the time ?" She hissed running to the door.

I was left dumbfounded watching her march across the gym to the rain. What the fuck just happened?

" You know MJ will never want you right " Nelly said blowing the gum she was chewing .

"Why not ?" I asked remembering how she said MJ will never like a girl like me .

" First your poor that girl is allergic to poverty second your fat she likes her women small just like me " I didn't have the heart to counter what she just said maybe that's why she is always ignoring me and insulting me every chance she gets .

" Don't cry Sonia it's not your fault you fell for her , everybody does " she said walking away as she swayed her hips left and right .

I breathed in and out to prevent the tears brimming my eyes to fall , it's just a crush and you will get over her in no time. Plus Nelly is just being a dumb bitch.

I opened the double doors making my way to the rain. Everything was foggy not even one soul outside. I just stepped out of the comfort of the large building and walked to the hostels. The drops were heavy but they represented how I felt inside. Just like the rain will stop my crush on her will stop . It will it has to.
