Thuggin' Get Real

Chapter Six

Jacelyn, Alexis, Maureen and Taylor were all on FaceTime while getting dressed for the game. The girls agreed to wear the same color but couldn't decide on one. "I think we should wear blue." Alexis suggested. "No I think we should wear purple." Maureen suggested. "How about we wear our journalism shirts. I mean so we could get in the game free." Taylor suggested. They didn't think of that. "Okay let's meet up in 10 minutes." Jacelyn said.

The girls arrived all together. They walked in the game and all eyes turn to them. Taylor and Alexis took pictures. While Jacelyn and Maureen wrote the paper. "OMG there is Rashan and Bryce!" Taylor and Maureen screamed at the same time. Jacelyn immediately laid her eyes on Jacques. "I'll go over there and get a report on the captain.

Hello Detroit City High School. We are present here with the basketball team captain, Jacques Perez. Mr.Perez, how does it feel to lead your team to victory? Well Ms. Cortes I wouldn't say I led my team but we do practice five days a week plus on Saturday morning so we are prepared for any challenge that comes our way. There you have it students. Now how about we ask the the head coach, Mr. Coopes. Mr. Coopes, how do you train your boys to win the game. Like I tell my son, Devon practice don't stop. Its a nonstop cycle. Michael Jordan didn't become famous with just one practice. It took day and night for him to make it to the NBA. That's where I hope to see each and every one my boys headed to. This is Jacelyn Cortes with the sports.

"And we're clear." Taylor said behind the camera. Alexis walked over with the next report. "Girl I don't know how you can interview Jacques without being all over him." Jacelyn chuckled. "Sometimes, you have to be professional. Boyfriends come second. Plus you know we might have a chance to become a journalist." Maureen walked over. "You were amazing Jacelyn. We are definitely going to pass this project." Taylor got up from the table. "Of course we are! We all did our part. Maureen took the pictures. Alexis wrote the paper. I worked behind the camera and Jacelyn in front of the camera, looking all cute." The girls nodded. "Hey I think your boyfriend agrees too. Matter fact here he comes." Taylor said.

Jacques hugged Jacelyn. "Babe how about once you done with your gals, we can go out for lunch." Jacques suggested. "Any of you ladies are hungry?" Rashan asked walking towards Taylor. Maureen shook her head. "I'll meet up with you guys later. I have a few touch-ups on our project but I'll swing by later on." Maureen said. Alexis stayed behind with her. "Hey what's wrong? You okay?" Alexis asked. Maureen shook her head no. "Lexi I think Bryce not feeling me anymore. Lately, we haven't been talking like before." Maureen sobbed. Alexis understand how she felt. Devon also was caught up with basketball too. "Girl Bryce will come around. He just been busy. You heard what Jacques basically said. They practice all the time. Matter fact there goes your ball player now." Alexis explained. She was right.

Bryce was coming up towards her. She was shocked what he had in his hand. "Sorry babe I been distant from you. I was letting you do your journalism and video technology thing. Did I ever tell your that you look gorgeous at my game. Here I got you lunch. Its your favorite teriyaki chicken from the mall. Along with your sweet tea." Bryce said handing her food. She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. "C'mon babes let's head out. My mama having a party for the basketball team on the championship game.
