Mr. Cade: "Camella you're late for school it's nine o'clock wake up."

Then there was a Knock on the door.

Mr. Cade: "Khaylind hey buddy why aren't you at school you're never late."

Camella narrating: Khaylind my best friend since 2nd grade, like me he isn't popular but we have each other so it works. He's mixed and has curly hair and it's so big his hairs like a forest. He also wear glasses terrible vision and all.

Khaylind: " I pride myself on being on time but Camella would be loss without me so hear I am."

Camella came down the steps.

Camella: "I'm here I'm ready let's go."

9:15am

They finally arrived at school and went into first period class.

Camella narrating: When I came in my path to my seat was blocked by someone leg, when I looked up I saw it was Drew banks the star of varsity boys basketball.

Camella: "Can you move your leg please?"

Drew: "Hey your that water girl right for the girls basketball team?"

Camella: "I won't be this year and can you move your leg."

He sat up and seat and moved his leg

Drew: "Yea? Ok that's dope."

11:30

Camella narrating: It was lunch time and everyday for lunch me and my best friend Khaylind eat lunch in the library because we like to eat and read.

Camella: "I have to make the starting line up this year for basketball Khaylind it's absolutely important!"

Khaylind: "Ehh I have to disagree A.C.T is important, achieving a 4.0 gpa for the second year in a row is important but basketball? Sorry no."

Camella narrating: Khaylind hated sports maybe because he was always bad at them.

Camella: "Speak for yourself, but me I will work hard to achieve the starting line up."

Kasey: "As if water girl.(she smirked)"

Camella narrating: That's Kasey my rival since elementary school and also the star of the girls basketball team.

Khaylind: "Hey Camella will be the star of the girls team this year."

Kasey: "Zip it Pee wee."

Camella: "He's right this year is my year!"

Kasey: "Ok let's make things interesting if you're named captain of the basketball team this year I'll wear a Camella is the best shirt."

Camella narrating: I was afraid to ask this next question and more afraid to hear the answer.

Camella: "And if I don't get captain?"

Kasey: "You have to let us Carrie you at homecoming."(she laughed)

Khaylind: "You're insane if you think Camella would ever-

Camella: "Deal!"

Camella narrating: Khaylind turned to me with his jaw dropped and honestly that's how I felt on the inside cause my mouth kind of spoke before my brain could even process.

Kasey: "See you soon at tryouts Thing 1 and Thing 2.(her and her friends laughed)

Camella narrating: Okay this is bad.

3:00 end of the school day/after school

Camella and Khaylind arrived at her house and were chatting on her porch.

Camella: "What am I going to do?!"

Khaylind: "You can always back out ain't no shame in that."

Camella: "No Khaylind there's plenty of shame in that."

Camella: "I need to get good like really good by tryouts."

Khaylind: "Well anything's possible so we just need to figure some out, but I'm need to do my homework."

Camella: "Homework on the first day?"

Khaylind: "I kind of asked for it."

Camella: "Khaylind"

Khaylind: "Yea my class hates me too."

Camella laughed as they did their handshake and he went home.

Camella went inside and up to her room and laid on bed.

Camella: "If I'm going to win this I'm going to need to practice."

Camella narrating: "Now in my defense this was a pretty good idea unfortunately I had no idea this was the start of an interesting year."

5:00pm

Camella narrating: I went up to the school and after I bugged my coach she finally let me use the key to get in the gym.

Camella narrating: When I came in Drew was in there and he was practicing alone as well.

Drew: "Camella Cade what are you doing here?"

Camella: "Whaat me I'm here to.......get buckets."(she said so unsure)

Drew: "Rigghhht sounds dope."

Camella narrating: The next thing that happened was so embarrassing I wanted to ball up under a cover and scream.

Camella dribbled me the ball of her shoe and tripped and fell on her face.

Drew ran over and helped her to her feet.

Drew: "Woah are you good?"

Camella: "Of course I'm fine I did that on purpose see watch me make this hoop on purpose."

Drew: "No one talks like that."

Camella: "Shhh"

Camella shot and she airballed.

Camella: "Yep totally on purpose."

Drew: "The problem is you're shooting to flat instead of shooting higher and putting that arc into it."

Camella narrating: And that's when it hit me.

Camella: "Hey I just had an idea I got this bet going on with Kasey to be team captain and I want you to help me practice."

Drew: "I cant tell if that's a question or a statement."

Camella: "You can take it as a question but we both know it was statement."(she smiled)

Drew: "Well fine how can I say no from this day until tryouts I'll train you in basketball."

Camella: "Deal."

6:30pm

Camella narrating: When I got home I climbed into bed and was looking at my ceiling on the inside I felt happy, the best basketball player training me no way I lose this bet. On the other hand this is just the beginning of my crazy triangle if you know what I mean.
