Riker's POV:
"HEADS UP!" I heard a voice scream. I look up and see a basketball hurtling towards me. I put my arms over my head to shield my face but just my luck, it bounced off my head instead.
"I am so so so sorry." She said while laughing. I hand her the ball. "Are you laughing at my fail to catch the ball?" I said smiling. She took one last giggle and said "Maybee.." She started playing with the ball. "Hey, do you wanna play a game of one-on-one?" I looked into her eyes and said, "Uhh..How about no." I spoke in a tone. "Oh, sorry I-" I cut her off by stealing the ball from her.
"PSYCH!!" I yell running down to the court. "Hey I didn't catch your name?" I call out to her. She starts jogging back to the court. "My names Bella." I took a shot, but missed. "Damn.." I mumble under my breath. "Well hello Bella. I'm-"
"Riker, I know." Bella interrupted. I look at her confused. "How did you-"
"We're neighbors..." Bella finished. "My mom and yours work together. But since I'm way too shy, I never really met your family." She continued. "And yet you asked a random guy to play basketball with you." she gave me a look and giggled. "Nooo..because I know you." she gave me a playful push.
Just then Bella turned around, closed her eyes and took a shot and made it in. "Nice shot." I complement her skill. "You're really good." She blushes a little and throws me the ball, almost hitting my face. "What? You don't think girls are as good as you guys?" she smirked emphazising guys.
"No, I just think you're just better than my sister." I laugh and she joins. I begin to feel a vibration in my pocket. I take out my phone and see that I had gotton a text from Rocky.
'Hey, dude. Mom just made dinner and wants you home. She needs to talk to you.'
I try to think about the last bad thing that I had done that makes her want to talk to me. I guess it was nothing bad because I couldn't think of anything. I put my phone down and see that Bella was sitting down, resting. She spotted me off my phone and got back up.
"Sooo... What's up?" she asked. "Uh, ya. Sorry, Bella but I really gotta go but I'll catch you later, okay?" I start jogging my way back to my house. "Okay." she calls back. I turn around to wave back but when I faced forward I saw headlights in my direction...
