Skip to the end of the day
I walked out of school feeling like the happiest girl ever. I smiled as I walked home from school which I love because it calms me and it gives me time to think about pretty much everything. I took a deep breath and inhaled the fresh clean air which also consisted of the amazing smell of pine trees as I walked by the "forest." It's just a bunch of trees with a bike path beside it along with a row of beautiful homes on the other side of the path that all the rich people lived in. I don't live in this part of my neighbourhood but it's my favourite way to walk home, especially in the spring.
As I walked down my street I saw Sammy Wilk dribbling his basketball and shooting hoops on his driveway. He, along with the Jacks love basketball. I once considered trying it but it's just not for me.
"Hey Sam!" I waved at him as I walked towards my front door.
"Hey Melanie," he smirked knowing that I hated it when he called me Melanie. Especially the way he says it.
"Save your seductive voice for someone else Samuel," I laughed also knowing that he hates it when I call him that.
"Wanna come over and help me practice? We got a big game coming up," he threw the ball behind him and it went through the basket. Just like Johnson, he never misses.
"You know I suck at basketball."
"Fine I'll call up Johnson and ask him," he winked at me and continued dribbling.
"Really Sam?! Do you know if he knows that I like him?" I wondered.
"No, but I'll tell him that you'll come over later. Is 7 good?"
"Really Sam?!"
"Haha see ya later," he laughed and went inside.
I never agreed to this but I guess I should step up my game a bit. But what if I embarrass myself in front of Jack? I can barely even touch my toes let alone get the basketball through the hoop. I sighed and walked up to my room and started my homework. Just as my brain was about to explode Gilinsky called me.
G: hey what's up?
M: homework wbu?
G: same, and trying to find out how to impress Kenzie
M: Jack are you serious?
G: what?!
M: just go talk to her, oh and I'll give you her number.
G: thanks, so I hear Sammy invited Johnson over tonight
M: oh yeah, Sam wants me to play basketball with them and I'm hooped (see what I did there? No ok)
G: you'll be fine. Anyway I gotta go but tell me how it goes
M: I will cya
I hung up and started to sweat on the spot. Sports aren't my thing. How did Sam get me into this?
The next chapter will get more interesting.
Hope you enjoyed this :)
