I haven't said a word to Chris since last night. I have to find somewhere else to stay. I just have too much going on.

My ninth period class was shortened because of another game today. I called my mom to see if she could make the game. But I got no answer so I left her a voicemail and a text with the information.

I don't even want to play tonight's game. What made them put the games back to back?

I went into the lockeroom and changed into our away uniform. My pocket vibrated as I began to slip my gym shoes on.

I awnsered it without looking thiking it was my mom calling me back.

"Hello." I awnsered.

"Where are you? I've been calling your phone all day and night." My dad awnsered.

"A place... Why are you now concerned where I have been? You were fine with it last night though." I replied suspiciously.

"Listen Trey -..." "Nah I'm not listening to shit. Answer my question first." I say interrupting him.

"Let's Go!" Coach yelled in the lockeroom.

"Never mind. I got to go." I said as I ended the call.

I changed quickly and rushed out. They were still taking attendance. I chuckled to myself then shook my head.

Once attendance was finished they loaded us all into a small white short bus. I walked passed the filled seats. I kept walking until I found a seat in the back by myself.

Chris took a seat next to me.

"There's a open seat right there." I say pointing to the seat
across from me.

"I know." I say.

"Um...OK..." I say putting in my headphones to pass the time.

I fell asleep during the ride. I woke up laying on Chris' shoulder. I quickly removed my head.

As his head leaned on my shoulder as the bus turned right. I moved my shoulder out of his way. I wiped my eyes and yawned looking out of the window. Seeing the bus pulling into the parking lot.

"Chris. Move." I called.

He continued to sleep soundly. I pushed him off of the seat. He immediately hopped up and bumped his head.

I laughed at him while I got off the bus. He looked mad as hell. Not my fault he should've woke up when I called him.

The court was big but the room was hot. I hope the air conditioning come on soon. Coach gathered us by the bench.

"Alright tonight I want teamwork, cooperation, and winning." He says looking at me and Chris then continued.

Chris better not fuck this game up. The referee whistled indicating that the game was starting. I walked over. Coach called me and put me on the bench

I always start why did he bench me? I'm not complaining. More rest for me. The team was doing pretty good for the first quarter. We gained a 6 point lead on the other team.

At the end of first quarter coach subbed me in. This whole team midgets. I thought then laughed as I went jumping in for the ball. The other team jump higher though.

The ball rolled off of the tip of my finger. The other team jumped for it causing the ball to go to us. I ran and passed to Travis.

He passed it back to me as I attempted to shoot. The other team tried hitting the ball out of my hand. I held the ball tightly. Then went in for the shot again.
