Jess woke up to the sound of doors slamming. Not to loud for someone to be pissed, but Loud enough for Shaun. Knowing Shaun he did something wrong and he's blamming himself. Jess slipped out of bed and went into Shauns room. She knocked to make sure she was okay to go in. He let her.
She stuck her head in his bedroom, his veins were popping out. He was upset he was crying. Jess ran over to him she wrapped him in a hug, he collapsed. He's crying in her arms while her head is on his. He tried to talk she didn't let him. She calmed him down enough for him to wipe away his tears and set him up to his bed, she gave him a hug when she was about to let go he didn't he held on longer. When he let go he wispered something "Stay with me" She crawled in his bed because that's what she thought he meant by "Stay with me"
When Jess knew he was asleep she snuck out of his room. All she could think about was Zach. Zach was one of those boys who would actually care about you, She really liked him. The next day she went to try to shoot hoops again, She got better. soon Zach walked around the corner, Jess not knowing he was there right when she was about to make the shot he ran up behind her and picked her up and spun her around she just laughed and Zach thought it was cute she was still giggling when he set her down he kissed her on the cheek this time.
School was going to start in a couple weeks. Jess and Shaun weren't to excited about it. Zach went to the same school as them so Jess thought of the future with him like if they were going to start a relationship or not. She was hopping they would. He's been on her mind a lot. She just wasn't sure how to tell him.
Jess had practice for a while she had gotten better since her father. she still doesn't know what happend. No one will tell her. Her coach got all the players together before they broke out to end practice. "We have a game the first week of school. So we're going to have practice every day. we still need a lot of work. I think Jess has most of the stuff down, So tomorrow I'm going to pair some of you guys up with her so she can help you out."
her coach was confident in her. Jess wasn't so much teaching other kids how to do stuff wasn't very easy for her. The girls who thought they were the best and shouldn't of been there were mocking Jess by how she did everything. The way she did eveything was the right way. when she was told to pass the ball to one of her team mates she did. she didn't pass it to the best player she passed it to the one who she knew could actually achieve a basket. Jess gave every one a chance. the two girls who were up tight about how everything was done were the ones watching her and the rest of the team and having their coach explain why Jess was doing the plays right.
After practice one of the girls came up to Jess and explaining how she should be the one teaching those annoying brats how to play. Jess wanted to comment back with "Yes of couse because everyone wants to be a ball hog and not have any friends because she's a selfish little bitch and doesn't want anything besides the attention." No those girls were there to play. and not to argue about what time practice was because someone has a mani\pedi at the same time. Jess was kind of happy to teach some of the girls how to do things because the girls had told her that she was really good and that they wanted to be like her when they got older. She felt happy inside because she's not the person people want to be.
Jess had woken up in the afternoon, and had missed calls on her phone, all from zach. She called him back. he told her to meet him at the basketball court in the park. she slipped on her tank top and her shorts and tied her nike shoes. she saw Zach standing against the basketball hoop. When he saw he walking towars him he leaped up and went in straight for a hug. She noticed he had something in his hands.
" Umm Jess I kinda know this is kinda sudden but I just want to as you a question."
"Oh Okay Zach Uh go ahead."
" Jess will you be my girlfriend?" He opened a ring box and he had bought her a small diamond ring.
She was so shocked. She didn't know what to do but say Yes.
When she got to Shauns house Shaun was in the kitchen making food. she walked in and he asked her how practice was. She said it was good. He noticed the ring on her finger. he asked about it.
"Cute ring"
"Thanks, Zach gave it to me."
"Oh really that's sweet. Why'd he give it to you?"
"Well, Um He asked me to be his girlfriend..."
Shaun had a strange face on him that she didn't reconize.
" Oh my gosh That's awesome. I'm so happy for you." He walked over to her and gave her a hug. He walked back over to where he was.
Was Shaun really happy for her? she thought so. but she didn't know.
