Love and Basketball {Book 1}

Chapter 1: Speak of the Player

The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game ~ Michael Jordan

Nyesha's POV

Date: Monday September 1st 2014

Sweat was beating off my face as i dribbled down the court. 5 seconds left. I did an ankle breaker crossover to the right and dribbled down the court faster with  adrenaline pumping threw my veins.

Crowd: NYESHA, NYESHA, NYESHA

At the last two seconds i jumped and let the ball glide through the net. BEEEEEEEP.  Swish.

"P-p-p-p-punch line Queen, no boxer though Might pull up in a Porsche, no boxster though"

Annoyed at the fact that this stupid phone was inturupting my dream, I picked up my Samsung galaxy ace 2 X, pressed answer and put the phone to my ear.

~Phone convo~

Me: Diamond, what possessed you to  call me at 5:30 in the morning?

Diamond: Well hey to you too

Me: I'm sorry....Hey girl, what possessed you to call me at 5:30 in the morning?

Diamond: That's better, I was just wondering if I could come over and we can get ready for the first day back to school?

Me: isn't that what we always do?

Diamond: Girl you make it hard for me to be nice to your grouchy ass

Me: see that's the diamond I've learned to love.

Diamond: Cha..... now its cool if I come over?

Me: yeah come on over

Diamond: good cause either way I'm coming over

Me: I figured

Diamond: should I bring anything for you to wear?

Me: nah, ima be wearing sweat pants and a long t-shirt

Diamond: girl I cant have you wearing that, I swear I taught you nothing

Me: whatever later

Diamond: later

Knowing Diamond was gonna be here any second, I reluctantly got out of my bed and stretched. This is gonna be a long day. After stretching I went into my private bathroom and did my daily hygiene's

5 minutes later

______________

*Knock Knock Knock*

After making sure i look presentable i ran down the stairs and open the door to see Diamond in her robe and flip flops holding a really big garbage bag. This girl lives like 3 blocks away and she came over here looking like that. Diamond walks right past me and goes into my room. Rolling my eyes I walked back up the stairs and entered my room to see Diamond going through the garbage bag full of clothes.

Me: well you could of said hi

Diamond: Hi, I'm gonna go take a shower

Me: go ahead, I'm gonna make breakfast
