Aaron sits in the principal office next to his mom, Amelia, on the other side of Dallas."Your first official here, and you've already caused trouble, anything to say for yourself?" Principle Wilson says. "I do, yeah, fuck you, loud mouth motherfu-" Aaron shouts out at Dallas, before being interrupted. "That is not how we talk in the school, and especially if you'd be playing on the team." Wilson says before crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. "I'm not gonna suspend you since this is a first-time offense, but anything else you'll be suspended for three days, now skedaddle." He says.
Aaron walks to the car with his mom her glaring at him the entire time. He opens the car door and gets inside the leather of the seat on his sweat filled skin. "What is wrong with you getting into fights in your first day at school? This is nonsense, especially as people of color you can't be doing this." Amelia scolds him angrily while he just looks at her.
"Tommorow you will go on that court and go to pre-game do your things and then play your game, if I get another call, you grounded for six weeks." His mom says before turning back to fasten her seat belt properly and inserting the keys into the car and driving off from the school. The ride was long, well, just five minutes. The tension was thick, which really made it feel longer.

Aaron sits down on his bed with his hood up earbuds in, listening to 'Hex' by 80purppp, His door slides up open, and his step dad Jim walks in and sits down next to him. "Your mother told me what you did." He speaks out with a Canadian accent.
"You cannot under any circumstances hit another person." He says, looking at him. Aaron just looks back at him. Moment of silence passes. "That's all I got for you." Jim says before walking out of the room and closing the door with a sigh.

Aaron Diaz is at lunch sitting next to his sister and a bunch of other kids picking at the slop people call school lunch. "You ready for the game today?" Amy says using a softpick to get lettuce out of her braces.
"I guess I'm just a bit nervous, I don't know." Aaron says, still moving around the weird looking beef. "Nervous? You're the best basketball player that I know, I mean, I don't know much of them, but I think you're still pretty good, like the next Ja Morant or some shit."
