Today Rod Wave Elite has a game in Oklahoma.
And today is also the day I get sucker punched.
I blame it on the perm.
"You look good in green." Avery told me as she straightened up my jersey. "I know." I said, nonchalantly. She laughed and double patted my chest.
"Let's bring it in guys!" D'Aydrian shouted. "See you later, baby. I love you." Avery went in for a kiss.
It's like a reward.
Before and after the game I get one.
"Love you too!" I jogged to the group huddle. "Alright first thing, don't be lazy on defense. Knock down open shots and shake- I mean kick ass. We got all three brothers for this game so let's get this fucking win!" D'Aydrian began to clap and the rest of us followed.
"We got Cam today also!" I blurted. "Hell yeah!" Lavar said. "Yup! We're up today fellas." Cam nodded.
The opponent team won the tipoff as Lavar was center. The ball went to the opponent player, he passed it to his teammate as I blocked.
After hella passing back and forth they finally made it in. So far being one to zero.
I grabbed the ball and swung it to Noah who then passed it to Cam. There were hella players surrounding him so he threw it at Lavar who did a layup.
"This a whole different game." D'Aydrian shook his head beside Niles.
It came down to half time and I sat beside Avery. "Good game, huh." She smiled. "Yes ma'am. We got this one in the bag for sure." I drank a cup of water. "Niles, how are you feeling?" Noah asked his little brother over us. "I wish mom and dad were here. But it's cool." He looked to the court. "Aww." Avery pouted her bottom lip.
Our parents had to attend an important meeting about what's next with my Mother's business company.
"Score right now is thirty six to forty. We're up! These are eighth grade players, we got to get a stop." Cam wiped his forehead sweat.
Half time was over and I came across the court with the ball. I passed it to Lavar who did a layup. It went in and everyone cheered. "He does that every-time." I put my hands up. "Every-time." Ray agreed from behind the camera.
I bounced the ball as I signaled for Noah to move to a certain direction, his block pushing him with a shoulder. Noah pushed him and then put his hands in the air. The eighth grader threw the first punch at my older brother and Noah began to throw more. I realized what was going on and dropped the basketball to get Noah out of it, everyone grabbing players.
Cam crunched down to help the eighth grader off the floor until the coach: the opponents players dad began hitting Cam. Lavar had seen it and started also throwing punches, as well as Quincy.
I finally stand back up from getting tripped over one of the guys. I try to find Noah to help him until I feel a sudden back hand punch on my cheek, and then a scrape going down my neck.
I turn around and it's a Women. Probably the Coach's wife: the eighth graders Mother.
She probably thought I was Noah.
I obviously wasn't going to lay a hand on a woman so Noah and I moved away from the situation.
"Someone fucking snuck me!" I went up to Avery. "Fuck. Let me see." She repeated in stress. I picked up my chin and she gasped. "Bro, shit hurts bad." I was as well in stress.

A lot just went the fuck down.
Rod Wave Elite was going into the tunnel towards the locker room. The Head Coach got held back as he tried to find Noah, "I'm going to shoot everyone here!"
I'd seen Niles from in back of the crowd and he looked like he was about to cry.
"Go to the locker room. You're good, you're good." Noah repeated to calm Niles down.
I still don't know where the hell Nelson is because everyone is all over the place.
"Nobody's leaving this gym alive!" The Head Coach came again and that's when I heard Nelson's voice. "Avery! Go to the locker room!" He peaked his head through the swarm and was covering his neck with the green jersey.
I got my phone and jogged into the hallway. "Niles." I said. He turned around with teary eyes and began sniffling in my chest.
I felt so fucking bad.
He didn't know what to do.
"Hey, it's going to be alright. Everyone's fine." I lunged down and that's when I saw Nelson jog down the hallway. "I just want to go home."
"You alright, bro?" Nelson hugged him. Niles nodded and wiped his nose. "Go to the locker room. We're all going to be there in a bit. They canceled the rest of the game anyways." Nelson lied his hand on his little brother's shoulder. "You okay?" Nelson looked at me as Niles began to walk into the room. "I'm fine. Its just your neck like damn." I told him. "Fuck. It hurts hella bad too." He held it.

"Nah, they got Nelson." A camera man told Cam as his face was red from the hits. "Nah, he hit me first that's just what it is." Noah walked into the room. "Nah, she hit my spine." I said as a supporter told me blood was on the back of my shirt under my jersey. "Fuck, man." I scrunched my fuzzy curls. "Why did you do it, Noah. He's in eighth grade." Cam pulled his headband down. "He was like this!" Noah demonstrated.
"Nah, I ain't going to lie, I got my ass whooped." Quincy laughed. "They all just spawned out of nowhere!" Reese said with his camera in his hands. Noah walked away to catch some air and took off his jersey. Niles walked around, looking at his older brother, still frightened.
"I'm not going to lie, I think the Coach snuck me." Cam told D'Aydrian. "And then I was like what the fuck!"
"Nah, I went in and started getting that old bitch! That's why his eyes fucked up!" Lavar demonstrated his hits. "His eyes black!" Someone said. "You good, bro?" D'Aydrian asked me and suddenly the attention was on me. "Mom, started just. Psh, psh." I demonstrated. "He didn't even do anything!" Quincy said.
