mei'lani's pov ————
i was sitting on the bench , next to my aunt, as she yelled at the girls on the court, watching the game. being a manager i actually learned the game.
i've learned the different calls, rules, and other things. i wasn't too much paying attention to the game itself, but zari.
i watched her as she tucked her jersey, running onto the court. i watched every facial expression she made. i watched as she wiped the bottom of her shoes with her hand. i analyzed her.
as the 7 seconds left on the clock began to go down, zari dribbled all the way to the goal scoring a layup, the game then ended. we won 67-52
the girls ran over to the bench and gathered their stuff to go to the locker room
i slung the basketball bag over my shoulder and followed them as a girl stopped me.
"lani?" , she asked me
"yes that's me.. i'm sorry, who are you?"
"sorry, i'm kamari. mari for short. i'm-" , she said before i interrupted her realizing who it was
"nazaria's best friend, i heard", i said with a grin
"okay so you familiar. did she tell you about the double date im tryna put in motion?" , she said with a smirk, jokingly
"no but im down", we laughed
"okay great, tell za ill discuss the plans with her when she gets home", she said giving me a hug
"okayy", i said pulling out of the hug as we went our separate ways
....
we got on the bus to go back to the school, i sat the basketball bag in the front then continued to my unassigned, assigned seat in the second to last row
i drank the iced water from my stanley cup then put my knees to my chest, playing games on my ipad, waiting for zari to get on the bus
"you seen my best friend?" , she asked as she sat in the seat
"yeah. she told me about the double date too", i said and we laughed
"here she go"
"she said she'll text you about it when you get home"
