Genevesia's P.O.V

Clocks were ticking and time was running out. I had to make the choice to take one for the team... or pass the ball to a team mate. What am i to do ?! The time was at 7 seconds so i decided to take one for the team ! I bent my wrist back and let go, causing the ball to lunge out of my hands. I watched as the ball flew through the air and made it's way to the goal. I watched as it moved around the edges of the goal and just as the buzzer buzzed , the sound of a swish flooded my ears.

I made the shot ! Score ! Then I heard the crowd roaring through the gym... this is just amazing ! Oh... i haven't fully introduced myself ! I know you guys probably know by now that I'm a basketball player... the star of the team at that. But , I'm Genevesia and my life is... basketball. I'm the MOST popular girl in school and part of the reason is because of what I'm known as. Cheerleaders aren't as popular as us basketball players. Basketball wins almost EVERY championship there is here at Hugh waters high.

Football is the second best sport to play here , but basketball is the life to live ! Btw... I'm in the 11th grade and my life is simple and easy to describe. In all of my spare time , i play basketball. Nothing more to it. " Good job Vesi ! ", my best friend Breeaunna said. " Thanks hun ", i said giving her a hug. Then the whole team congratulated me. " Yeah congratulations ", my arch enemy Alexis said rolling her eyes. I can't stand her man ! She always got something smart to say about me , and she's so jealous.

She hates my guts because she's in a higher grade than me , but i gets more love than she does , and I'm the captain of the team. My bad for being such a good player ! Haha , anyways... i rolled my eyes back at her , and began to change. " Yo V , coach needs you ", my buddy Elinae said. " Alright ", i said throwing my shirt on over my training bra. " Yeah coach ?? ", i said as i entered her office. " Sit down please ", she said pointing to a seat in front of her. " What's this about ? ", i sat down.

" Well first... Congratulations on the game tonight ", she said. " Thanks coach... ", i smiled. " Okay and also... we have a new kid here , and i was told by coach Davis that he has the potential , he just needs extra help ", she said. " Okay... why are you telling me this ? ", i asked. " Well , since you're our star athlete here , i thought that it would be best for you to show him around , and help him to see what's needed for the team ", she said. " Listen , I'm flattered and all but... i don't think I'm able to do that Coach Zimmerman. I don't know who this guy is and i honestly don't want to find out ", i said with my arms crossed.

" Genevesia... you can truly help this guy become a star. Why do you insist on not wanting to help anybody ? You don't know how much of a huge difference you can make in his life ", she said. " Coach Z... i just don't understand why me ? You have the whole team to rely on... why choose me ? ", i asked. " Because i trust that you can truly help this boy. Please at least think about it Vesia... that's all ", she said. " Alright... fine ! I'll do it ", i said giving in. " Thanks so much V ! ", she said wrapping her arms around me.

" No problem Coach ", I said hugging back. " Okay , I'll make sure to bring him to you early in the morning... don't be heartless ", she smirked. " Alright thanks Coach ", i stood up and walked out. I threw on my clothes and walked out of the girls locker room. " Good job Vesi ! ", my twin sister Genesis said. " I was cheering you on the whole time ! ", she smiled in my face. My sister is a cheerleader , and i love her to death.

We're faternal twins , and we are nothing alike. She's a girly girl , and I'm more of like a tomboy. ( A/N: They are in the multi media ! Genevesia has black hair and Genesis the red/brown-ish hair ! ) " I'm sure you were ", i said hugging her. " Time to celebrate ! ", my mom said. My mom is white and dad black , but my mom doesn't play that. People say most white parents let their kids do anything , well... not this parent. She acts just like any other black mother. We went out to eat , and went straight home after that. I put on my PJ's and went straight to bed.
