Dad Got My Back

Chapter 12: First Practice [VOLLEYBALL]

"Vi P.O.V": So i'm going to keep it real with you guys. I really hate everyone and their personalities, but volleyball helps me escape from this hell hole what we call THE WORLD. Why? They say that the disasters that happen such as terrorism in the United States is due to us envading other's land but in reality its government based groups that is destroying us slowly. Anywho i grabbed my bag from the school locker in the hall and began slowly making my way towards the girls locker room. As i was walking i ran into MJ. See me and MJ use to hook up in the old days but now we're bestfriends. Girl and boy wise. Nothing sexual.

Vi: Bestfriend don't you have practice.
MJ: Yeah, but it's outside since you volleyball people have the gym.
Vi: Mad or nah? *laughs*
MJ: Mad. Ya boy is a good shade of light skinned and i ain't tryna get darker.
Vi: Whatever. I'll see you after practice?
MJ: Yeah, but i ain't walking you home.
Vi: Fine.

We hugged and i hurried to the locker room. Once i got in the locker room the girls looked at me and i just looked back. Why? They hate the fact that coach made me co-captain. Why co-captain? Because i'm that mean and bitchy side of the captain. She's sassy and bossy, i'm mean and bitchy so the girls get things done at practice and workouts. I changed into my practice uniform and put my knee pads and elbow pads on. We then had to go run a mile around the track. Me and the captain aka Zee led the team out to the track. Funny thing was the basketball team was on the track to.

Basketball Coach: Three of you were late to practice so the whole team got two miles. Go.

The basketball team began their laps, meanwhile we were waiting for coach to get out to the track. When she finally did, she asked if we stretched and we all nodded. Just then she blew her whistle and we all began our mile. As we were jogging, we as in me and Zee, the amazing assholes known as MJ and Dom yelled our names. We jogged up to where they were and then we decided to jog and conversate with them while we did our mile.

Dom: Heard there's a party next week.
Vi: And?
Dom: Are you going?
Vi: Maybe.
Dom: Complicated ass. Zee you going?
Zee: You know i'll be there. I have to win prom queen this year.
Dom: You're only a Junior.
Zee: And your point is exactly?
MJ: You're a junior so you always have your senior year to win.
Zee: Ehh no one asked you.

Zee ran off and i just shook my head at the guys and ran off to. Why? If she's a junior and she wants to run for prom queen let her. I mean there's a chance that she might win and a chance that she might not win.

I grabbed my duffel bag out of the locker room and began walking towards the front of the school with my earbuds in my ears, listening to, "Stay by Tyrese." No, i'm not in my feelings, if you must ask. As i sat on the steps waiting, i saw a shadow over me and i just stood and turned around. Why didn't i freak out? Because it was just MJ.

MJ: So it's getting a little dark so i'm going to walk your aggravating ass home, since Dom already left.
Vi: You don't have to walk me, i'm good on my own.
MJ: Nah it's too many niggas out here tryin' to be thugs. I gotta make sure my bestfriend get home safe, so bring yo ass on.

I grabbed MJ arm and began walking side to side by him. Why? My ass do get scared. Walking through the neighborhood that isn't mines at night scares me, my neighborhood scares me because old men always stare. We walked for a good thirty minutes, and then MJ walked me up to my front door. I hugged him and said thanks.
