(Every chapter will be red's pov)
I was eating some eggs and bacon for breakfast. I remember there is basketball tryouts after school, me and Skylar will be practicing before. I hurried up and went to school. I was wearing a black shirt with a small turtle neck. I had some gold chains and I had a leather jacket with some white jeans. My hair was straight black and some red highlights. I had a jeep, a red one. I get to school and see my friends. I get out and meet up with them. (Skylar, Vicky, Issac, Matt and maya)
"Hey guys." I say.
"Hey red." They say back.
"Ya ready for tryouts?" Skylar asks.
"Um yea." I say. She nods.
We go inside our class and I sit beside Skylar. I see a beautiful brown and blue haired girl walk by. She was really beautiful. I guess she's new.
Skylar nudges me,
"Hm" I say looking at her.
"Um coach says he has some basketballs in there already so we don't need to bring ours" she says. I nod and the teacher starts to talk.
"Hello class!" She says in a pitchy voice.
"Hi, mrs. Gonzales" everyone says.
"So we have a new student today, Chloe charming" she says as she comes up. So Chloe charming was her name.
"Hi, up I'm Chloe." She says.
After she was done talking about herself she sat down and the teacher starts to teach our lesson.
I was doing good in classes. I had A's all the time. I know it doesn't look like it but I really do listen.
"Red, coach wants to see you and Skylar for a second, and bring this to him too" she says as I walk up to her and she passes me a paper. I nod and we leave. I see Chloe keep staring at us.
We walk to the gym. We see our coach.
"Hey guys I just wanted to let y'all now, later on today the gym won't be open for y'all so y'all can practice right now if y'all want" he says. We look at each other and nod.
"Sure that's fine with us" I say.
"Okay here" he hands us a ball then leaves.
"I'll see y'all at tryouts!" He says as he walks out.
"Ready?" Skylar asks and I nod.
We were doing 3 pointer shots first. We made it challenging a bit. Each shot you made you walk farther from the hoop 3 steps away. We kept doing this until we were used to making them. I took my leather jacket off. I see someone's curly hair at the door but I ignored it. Skylar soon passes me the ball.
I bounce the ball 3 times before shooting it. Of course it landed inside. Skylar claps.
"Okay now passes" she says as she moves a few feet away from me.
"Okay so first your going run straight, and ima throw the ball at you whenever I want" she says as I nod. I get in position.
"Go!" She shouts as I start to run. She throws me the ball and I catch it.
"Nice"
I see the brown hair again through to door. I wonder who it was.
Me and Skylar continue to practice until the cheerleaders walk in.
"Our gym now" the coach says.
"Um let me see if I can make this shot first" I say. I was on half court so I was nervous. They watch me and I get even nervous. I jump and shoot. It makes it!
"Let's go!" Skylar says. The cheerleaders clap and I grab the ball.
We leave the gym to the cheerleaders. I then saw Chloe was one cheerleader.
I see her looking at me. I look away and catch up to Skylar.
"Wait!" We hear and turn around.
Chloe had my leather jacket.
"This yours?" She asks and i nod.
"Yea thanks" I say as she hands me it. We then finally leave.
"Wanna practice outside at the court?" Skylar suggests. I nod and we run to the back near the woods. No one goes inside the woods but us. The court was inside the woods so it was all ours.
We continue to practice there until we hear someone.
"You heard that right?" She asks as she looks the direction where it was.
"Yea" I respond.
We see a guy in all black with a hat.
"Dad?" I say. He looks up and I see his red eyes.
"Red, my princess" he says as I hug him tightly.
"Ohh it's your dad" Skylar says.
My dad had to move because he was kicked out of our state so he couldn't see nor call me.
"How are you!" I say as I pull away.
"Good, it's actually pretty good in California."he says.
"Okay good"
Me and my dad talk for couple of minutes until we get a text that tryouts were starting soon.
I say bye and we leave.

We head towards the gym and see the cheerleaders still practicing. Our coach was siting at the benches watch his phone. We go sit next to him.
"Hey guys, how were y'all's mini practice." He asks.
"Um good." Skylar and I saw. Soon other guys and girls come in and sit on the benches with us. All the guys kept on looking at the girls and cat calling them.
Mostly at Chloe since she was wearing a skirt. Everyone was but she had hers a bit shorter.
I could tell she was uncomfortable.
"Do you have a jacket?" I finally hear her say. I walk down.
"Here you can have mine" I say as I wrap it around her waist. She blushes.
"T-thanks" she stutters.
"No problem" I say going back to my spot. She continues to practice and I could tell she was more comfortable.
"Okay guys the gyms yours." The coach for the cheerleaders say. We all nod and walk down.
"Okay guy-" before I finish Chloe comes up to me.
"Thanks for lending me it, I really felt uncomfortable up there" she says.
"No problem, a girl will always help another girl out" I say as she smiles.
She hands me my jacket. I smile and take it back. I put it back on and she blushes.
"Chlo. You coming?" I hear on of her friends say.
"Hmm yea coming" she says walking to them.
We then start to play again.

(After tryouts)

"I will post the teams after school tomorrow on our websites so stay tuned!" coach says as we leave.
"oh and I will mark who is co-captin and who is captin too!" he adds.
