"Fake right, go left," said Demi's dad as they were playing a one-on-one game of basketball.

Demetria Devonne Lovato has been playing basketball all her life. Even before she could walk she had had the ball in her hand. By the time she was five, Demi was an expert at it. She would have played and won many games a day when playing with all the other kids her age. At the age of eight, Demi had won many awards and trophies playing at the local Y.

Basketball was Demi's life and it was definitely her strong point. I mean, she's been playing for practically seventeen years. If she hadn't gotten the hang of it by then, then something was seriously wrong with her.

Demi dribbled the ball a few times moving to the right before turning last minute and heading towards the left.

"And she shoots...and scores!" Demi's dad yells. "Nice one Bud!" he congratulates his daughter.

"Thanks dad," Demi widely smiles back.

Basketball was the only thing that Demi and her dad did together. Okay. Not the ONLY thing. They did other stuff together. But basketball was definitely the most fun.

"Guys, dinner!" Demi's mom called from the backyard door.

"After this game," Demi said, starting to dribble the ball again.

"No. Dinner. Now." Came the response from Demi's mom.

"Please?" Demi's dad joined in. "Real quick. And then we'll come inside and eat."

Demi's mom rolled her eyes. "Fine. Make it quick," she said watching them already start to play again.

This wasn't what she had expected when her second daughter had been born. She had expected her to turn into the girly girl that her older sister had been. But of course, she was wrong.

Demi was one of the biggest tomboys there ever was. She had never worn anything really girly. She had always preferred a T-shirt and jeans. The only time she had worn otherwise was when she was a baby. Now if she had had a choice, she would not have been wearing all of those girly outfits. Demi Lovato was a definite tomboy and there was nothing you could do to change that.

Demi and her dad enter the house after finishing their game of basketball with a score of 55 to 28. Demi had won of course.

They quickly washed up and then sat down at the dinner table.

"What took you so long?" Her mother asked.

"Sorry. The game got really intense," Demi replied.

"Who won?" Demi's older sister, Dallas asked.

"Who else?" Demi's dad said. "The basketball player or the old man?"

"Demi!" Demi's little sister, Madison yelled causing everyone to laugh.

"So school starts up again tomorrow. Are you excited?" asked Demi's mom.

"For basketball, yeah," Demi replied.
