It was currently the basketball unit in Gym class. I had been waiting for this unit to come ever since my teacher had announced it would be a unit. Right now he was going to split us up into teams.

"Lines one, two and four are the blue team and lines three, five and six are the red team", my teacher said. He pointed to where each of the teams would sit. My best friend in this my class was on my team.

"We're going to win this", she said excitedly, "Definitely", I replied. I examined the other team and noticed something. My crush was on the other team. He caught me staring at him and smiled at me, then he looked at the teacher.

What did that smile mean??? The teacher explained how the game of basketball worked. I already knew how it worked and didn't need an explanation.

We started the game and my team was on offense. A boy passed it to someone and I tried to get open. I was open but then someone got in front of me and put their arms around me. They were boxing me out. I tried to get out but his grip was too strong.

The boy was my crush!!! "Why are you guarding me, go guard someone else", I said.
"Because you need protection", he said. That was all it took to get me out of his grip. I was an independent girl and it was stupid of him to think I needed his protection. I ran to the other side where the ball was. The girl saw I was open and passed it to me.

I went for the shot and waited. The ball went around the rim twice and fell in. "Nice shot", he said, "thanks", I replied. I hoped he realized that I didn't need his 'protection'.
