Basketball Butch (gxg)

Chapter 1

    It was 6:32, I was outside that morning practicing  my lay outs before heading to school, before my brother had to disturb the peace.

"Hey! Gay siss!" I was furious. "Dude, can you not yell that? Seriously, what if the neighbors heard, or even mom?" I thought I had him pinned, "Whatever, dad and I already know." I thought I did.... "You and dad don't matter, you're male! If mom knew, she'd stop packing condoms in my backpack before I go to practice with a little note that says 'be safe'." At the least, he tried to be considerate. "Oh good, mom does that to you as well? Well, you need a partner to practice free throws on, or do you want cereal?" I knew the answer, "pour me a bowl."

 That was my brother, Wryle. I know, that is the worse and yet best name ever. I wish I could of had it. Instead I get  Tryna Borris, I go by my last name though. Which is why anyone I've ever met knows my family as soon as I introduce myself. My dad used to be very musical when he was in high school, that and he was a party animal. That's why every story ends in, "Borris man, never would have made a second thought that day." 

In the kitchen I'm greeted by Wryle continuing on his conversation. "Hey, you acted like you wanted mom to keep packing condoms in your bag, you keep them or what?" Wow, unexpected, but okay. "I give them to Ashley, the cheer leader who dyed her hair Indigo? Yeah, turns out she is a total slut, and can't buy a condom because it would ruin her reputation if she was caught." I love gossiping to Wryle, and he always has questions. "That doesn't make since, everyone already knows she is a slut. If she got caught buying condoms, people would know she cares about protection when she's sleeping around." I had this one prepared from self conversations. "Yeah, but you have got to remember who you're dealing with, Wryle. You are dealing with teen aged girls who can twist anything around in a snap. If they knew she was using condoms, they would all think that she was using that as a protest against ever giving birth, and no one likes people who don't like babies."

  "True, true. Hey, is that milk any good?" Taking my sip for judging, i nod and say, "Knock yourself out."

AT SCHOOL

 After finally reaching my home room study hall, I lay out my back pack and grab a small ziploc bag with foil on the inside. I could tell this one from my lunch and snacks, because this one had an 'A' made by me, designed to post as 'Ashley'. Ashley was a petite girl, smaller than some bigger than most. She was sitting a few desks away finishing up some home work, keep in mind this is the class before, during and after lunch.

I nudged her on the shoulder with three taps, so she would know it wasn't someone else. "Hey, so I got the usual and a few pads in there, I saw you were getting a little bitchy." I could tell that ticked her slightly, but she played it off cool. "Thanks here's a dollar extra, I saw you were getting a little bitchy, too." Well played. "Ouch, how did you know?" I said sarcastically, "A thanks would be appreciated for the thought?" she rolled her eyes at me, so I returned to my seat. I finished up some files on my flash drive to show for computer science, and I took my shoes off for relaxation. Near to ten minutes later the lunch bell rang out, which meant we were now allowed off campus for up to an hour. I put my laptop back into my back pack, and headed into the halls to find Gloria and CJ.

Gloria is the sweetest girl you will ever meet and the most offensive. CJ is the kind of guy who will say or do anything, and everyone just knows if there is a challenge he can meet it. So yeah, they are awesome friends. I found Gloria laughing her ass off by CJ's locker, which is no surprise. "Borris! You have got to be here during our jokes! It was hilarious!" Gloria was thrilled to see me, and I couldn't wait to hear the long story to a simple joke.

We went to the basketball court to sit and eat, just as Gloria finished her story of the joke. "So CJ responded by saying 'no wonder' but he said it  in elder scroll using sign language! Isn't that hilarious?" I replied truthfully, "It sounds funny, I wish I heard it in person it would be way more funny." As I sat down on a nearing bench, my eyes started to wonder else where, I saw a girl I haven't seen before practicing  free throws. "Hey CJ, do you know her? Over there?" CJ met the girl with his glare, "No, but it's not really the first of the year. And seeing her activity, she must have just enrolled our school to join the basketball team right off the bat." He is very good at inferring people, as well. And I hope he was correct, because that girl was as beautiful as a goddess.
