Trey:

  

            Shawn opened the door and a group of guys were all sitting around a table. All the guys were wearing some type of Miami t-shirts or hoodies. Coach Biertmann got up and came towards Shawn and I," Guys, this is our new point guard, Trey Carruth." Some of the guys addressed, while others pretended I wasn't even standing there.

          This is great, I'm not even getting along with my own teammates.

          I finally said something when Shawn elbowed me. "Hey it's great to meet you all. Can't wait to play with you guys." One of the guys who was ignoring my presence asked, "So is he replacing Anthony?" "Yes Johnston." Coach Biertmann answered. Haven't even know him for 10 minutes, but I knew this Johnston guy is going to be difficult.

          "Is he even capable enough to handle someone like Evan Edwards? He's Florida's best player this season and we need a very good ball handler if we go up against them." Johnston stated. "So what you think I'm not good enough? I was the #1 prospect for point guards, the best in the nation. I've been compared to fucking Michael Jordan? What about you Johnston?" I could see all the angry build up in Johnston, he hated my guts and we haven't even had fucking practice yet.

           Johnston got up close to me and had his chest up against mine. My chest was about the same size, but his was a tiny bit bigger. "I'm good at knocking the shit out of someone who needs it, and I'm looking right at someone who needs it." I'm not intimidated by Johnston. I don't give a fuck if he's taller, older and maybe stronger. I shouldn't have to prove myself to him.

          "Fuck off, Tyler!" Shawn said as he pushed Johnston back away from me. Johnston became pissed, he was so upset. He was yelling and cussing, causing a huge scene in the restaurant and being an embarrassment to the team. "You ain't shit bro! You're no good! We will never win a championship with you leading the way! You suck and is no good, you're not as good as MJ and you never will be."

            I couldn't take that anymore and I just stormed off with Shawn in hot pursuit of me. As I got back on campus, I began knocking down garbage cans that I passed by and kicking the benches.

           "I hate this shit! I just want to go home!" I yelled out loud. "Trey! Trey!" I could hear Shawn yelling. "Go away!" I yelled right back at him. I tried calming myself down, but I just hated this so much, I couldn't take it anymore. "Trey, calm down, bro. Johnston is an asshole." "It's not just him, the whole team hates me."

             "Who cares! Let them hate. Trey I've seen you play you're of the best I've seen in a long time. Do you do your best. Don't be discouraged, if you still have problems them transfer next year." Shawn calmed me down, I like talking to Shawn he can calm me down and reassure me of my talent. I was still pissed about earlier and I just wanted to sleep, to get over it.


Keira:

          My first class starts in 15 minutes and I'm already late! Charice was already and was about to leave and go out the door. She shouted, "You owe me lunch Lansing!" Great, today is couldn't get any worse right? I grabbed my sneakers and dashed out the door, running through the halls.

           10 minutes till class begins.

        I think I can make it. As I turned the corner almost to my class, I bumped into a someone and all of my things fell on the ground. "I'm so sorry!" I said as he was picking up my things. "Don't worry about it. You're too pretty to worry." He told me and as he looked at me, I figured out that it was.... Trey Carruth.
