Dad Got My Back

Chapter 11: Basketball Game

"Dom P.O.V": Its Game time. We left out the locker rooms and made our way to the gym. Time to kick ass tonight. I'm dedicating this game to my freshman baby Katherine. As we doing our warmups i saw Katherine and her friend walk up the bleachers and take a seat. Baby girl waved and i looked at her. My next lay up was for her. We all headed over to coach, so we all know who's starting. Well coach got me starting but MJ is benched all cause he got to practice last saturday. Fuck. MJ is my right hand man on the court. Why? Jit known as Danny he good but he ain't MJ. I met up in the middle of the court and as soon as the ref threw the ball up i jumped and pushed the ball in Danny's direction. He got the ball and made his way down the court. He faked a right and made the three point shot from his left. First point of the game. The other team got the ball and i was on number 23 ass. Why? He's the captain of the team and i'll be damned if he make me lose my title for mines. He went up for a shot and threw the ball up and i jumped and grabbed the ball. I threw the ball to Danny and we made our way down the court. He was blocked up and i was open so he threw me the ball, i did as much as i could then threw the ball in for the shot. It hit the rim and think god one of our centers got the rebound. He got the ball and made the layup. Score is 5-0 right now. We got this. As we made our way down the opposite side of the court, Danny got crossed up and his knee popped out of place. The ref called a timeout, me and couch helped Danny to the sideline. Why? They gonna get him a wheelchair and get him to the hospital, incase he tore anything. Meanwhile, coach hit MJ across the head.

MJ: The fuck coach?
Coach: Be late to practice again on a saturday morning and i will keep you benched. Fix your shoe-laces and get ready to play.

MJ fixed his shoe-laces and jumped up to get ready to play. I got back on the court and MJ let the ref know he was in the game in replacement of Danny. The game continued and we switched players. MJ blocked my opponent and i blocked his. It's the other team ball and they went straight in for a layup but the center for their team turned around and threw the ball to the team captain and he hit a three. The game was all fun and games till the score ended up at 20-13. Yeah we had twenty but that is only from first quarter. The second quarter began and they began catching up to us. The score was now 32-30. We had 32 which is crazy cause we're not even trying. But then something happened and the other team started playing hard, so we started playing hard. By the time second quarter ended the score was 43-36. It was now half time, and our cheerleaders got onto the floor and began going ham. The only reason why i loved cheerleaders was their attitudes on and off the field. They did a routine to the songs, "Stability by Sy Ari Da Kid ft Marissa" and "Lately by Jayy Perry". Man at the end of the night the score was 86-72. We won and coach couldn't believe that we won cause we have been actin' lazy in practice. But that's just to get on his nerves. I was about to walk off with the team but someone called my name. When i turned around it was Katherine.

Dom: Wassup Kat.
Kat: Hey. Good game.
Dom: You speak english now?
Kat: Low vocabulary but yes.
Dom: I'm okay with that. So what are you doing after the game?
Kat: Home.
Dom: We're having a after party. Want to come?
Kat: Uhm i can't. Maybe next time.
Dom: Yeah.

I hugged Kat short self and kissed her forehead.

Dom: I gotta go ma. Can i get your number?
Kat: Thought you'd never ask.

We exchanged numbers and i headed out the gym to the locker room.
