-Sam's pov

It's finally time for tryouts but me being me I somehow got stuck after class getting a lecture because Roberto's dumb ass wouldn't leave me alone about the new girl and we got caught talking.
Now I'm running with my gym bag in hand to the gym where thankfully there are barely any girls on the court. I walk into the locker room going straight towards my locker bumping into someone knocking them over and apologizing quickly. "I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and....." I was cut off by the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. "nah it's ok I'm good I probably should have seen you coming." I jumped up helping her up as well and receiving one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen. I probably stared a little too long because I was snapped back to reality when Nicole started to blush "Well I'm going to finish getting ready." It's not until then that I finally noticed she was shirtless. I observed some looking over her curvy caramel colored body. I sat there admiring her flat toned stomach and her perky boobs in that sexy black laced bra and traveling by gaze down to her plump round ass. I started to bite on my lip as I stared but I shot my head back up when I heard an adorable giggle. When I looked up I noticed Nicole staring at me also biting her lip "so do you like what you see?"
I turned away quickly as my face turned a crimson color. I looked around thankfully all the girls that were in here were occupied to notice. I heard another giggle behind me knowing its Nicole's but I didn't look back. Too embarrassed instead I get dressed quickly for tryouts. I get dressed into black basketball shorts, a white nike shirt with cutoff sleeves, a pair of black and white Jordan's and I pull my long auburn hair into a high ponytail. When I finish getting ready I rush out of the locker room to the gym pumped to help find new recruits. I stood there watching as mama Jones the coach walked up to me. "So Sam what do you think so far?" "Um to be honest mama Jones they good but everyone can always use help." "True. Good eyes Sam that's why you're captain and helping me chose the team."
We talk for a little bit longer while the girls warm up and stretch. "Alright ladies line up! I want you all to shoot from the free throw line! And to demonstrate I'm going to have Sam here shoot first." After she said that I grab a basketball from the rack dribbled it to the free throw line aimed then shoot making it swish into the net. Everyone applaud causing me to smirk. "Alright ladies that's enough now stand behind the line and get ready to shoot. Sam here is going to catch your rebounds and throw the ball to the next person. Understood?" Everyone agreed and I passed the ball to the first girl in line and one after another they took their turn shooting the ball. Some making it in and some missing but one girl caught my attention when she shot. Her form was amazing almost perfect and she was the only other girl to swish it.
She noticed I was starting so she smiled and winked my way causing me to blush and look away. I snapped my head back up when coach blew her whistle getting everyone's attention. "Okay now we're going to check out how your layups are and like before I'm going to have Sam demonstrate." I nodded my head walked up to the free throw line dribbled while running did the one two with my feet as I jumped up throwing the ball and completing the perfect layup.
One by one the girls tried the layups and still she was the only one with the perfect form. And as tryouts continued she did nothing wrong we got to the point where we had to dribble between our legs and she seemed confused. That's when coach walked up to me. "Okay Sam are u going to stand there and stare or are you going to go over there and help her." "What do you mean..?" I looked at her with a blank expression. "You know what I mean. Sam you've been staring at her the entire tryouts." "I have not!" "Sam yes you have and she's been staring at you so why don't you just go help her seeing that you like her." "Fine." I say reluctantly looking back to where Nicole was still having a hard time.
I walked to Nicole taping on her shoulder causing her to jump some. "Shit Sam don't do that." her face was flushed from embarrassment but it was cute so I smirked. "Oh and why not? I just came over to help. You seem to be having some trouble getting the hang of this." "Thanks I could really use the help. This is the only thing I just can't get." "Hey cheer up I I'll show you the basics for now." she smiled as she hugged me quickly let go realizing what happened. I a quietly giggled because her face started to turn pink.
After she finally found composure we started on the basics dribbling around your body. Then we worked on switching hand to dribbling between while standing still. Once she got the hang of that we worked on switching legs and walking while dribbling between them. "Okay so I think you have the hang of it now try it without my help." she nodded and went through the steps when she got to walking and switching legs she did it without a problem. "See there you go you got this." she looked up at me with the cutest smile on her face.
I didn't realize I was starting until she blushed and looked away causing me to blush. -whistle- "Alright ladies good work now I want all of you to like up." We all lined up including me because I know that we're about to actually play a game. Coach chose the team's two by two making four teams and I was really happy when I got Nicole on my team. "Wow she's so cute." I thought to myself. I realize what I was thinking and shook my head to stay focused. The coach gave us purple jerseys and the other teams got blue green and red. "Okay purple Vs blue on the right side of the gym and green Vs red on the left.
Each team played against each other so there were three games in total for each team. And every game the my team played we won. Coach noticed how well Nicole and I play together because she called us up. "Wow I can believe how well you two work together! Sam how would you feel if Nicole was co-captain?" I looked over at Nicole who had the biggest Kool-Aid smile which I thought was the cutest thing ever. "Yea I'm fine with that she's mad good. I rather it be her over anyone else trying out." "Good because you're both going to help me chose the team after everyone leaves." we both nod our heads yes and head back to the locker room changing back into our original outfits then heading back to Coach Jones office.
We sit down and start going through the list one by one until we chose thirteen girls to make up our team of fifteen. "Thank you both for helping me I'm going to post the list in the halls I'll make sure to have captain and co-captain by your names." "No problem mama Jones I'll see you tomorrow" "Yea bye coach Jones" "Alright bye ladies." and with that we left walking in silence until Nicole spoke up. "Hey Sammi I just wanted to thank you for your help." "Hey Nicole it was no problem." "Okay thanks anyway." "Aight no prob." I winked at her causing her to blush. "You know you're really cute when you blush." that only made her blush more. "T-thanks." "Awww that's so cute. Hey do you want to hang out this weekend?" "Sure I would love to" "Coolz. Well I'll see you tomorrow." I winked as she waved good bye and I walked to my car.
On the way home I couldn't help but think of what I was going to plan for this weekend so I texted Roberto and Jasmine to meet me there. And that's what we did was talk and hang out.
