-Raquel-
Trey kept hogging the ball and to be quite honest it was getting under my skin. It was me, Trey, Garret, some tall white dude named Tom, and some sophmore named Jamie against another team of five. I didn't know them niggas but they was good.
I think coach was trying to weed out the weak because the team was too damn big. Just because i had a scholarship for basketball didn't mean my ass couldn't be cut. And if I got cut, then my scholarship would get cut in half. That was just the way it worked.
I had no intentions of getting cut though.
" pass the ball!" I screamed across the court at Trey. I was open, completely, but there was some nigga taking steps toward me to block. If he passed I could shoot before that nigga even made it to me. That made since to me but Trey had other plans. He tried to take the ball up, got charged and ended up flat on his back.
I walked over to him, leaning down over his heaving body. " next time pass the damn ball."
He started to pass after that, but he wasn't passing it to me. Trey, Garret, Tom, and Jamie passed between the four of them and I was ass out. I know coach peeped that shit too. because even though he didn't say anything, his face said it all.
Practice lasted a good four hours. I wasn't sure if that was legal, or ethical but I wasn't complaining. Four people had been cut and I was still hanging on, by a thread I knew. If coach hadn't have called off practice I would have probably been the next to go because I was so tired I could barely stand up.
" Hit the showers, boys." Coach blew his whistle and everybody sighed in relief. " Dumb, dumber, and dumbest," He pointed to me, Trey, and Garret. " in my office, now!"
I sighed. Here we go with this bullshit.
It seemed like I just couldn't stay out of trouble because I had already had it with one teacher and now coach. One thing was sure, I could get another English teacher, but there was only one coach.
" what was that stunt you all pulled?" We were all standing in coach's office and he was pacing in front of us, grimacing. " over and over again I watched you pull a bunch of crap on that court and I want to know what the hell you guys' problem is."
" what crap, coach?"
" we were playing basketball, coach."
That was Trey and Garret. I stood there listening to coach as he practically slit their throats for lying and then for being dummies.
" I don't care about your petty problems! When you're on the court, none of that matters. You can be best of friends, or hate each other, but until you play like you're family, I'm cutting you all."
" what?" I screamed at him. I wasn't trying to lose my temper but nor was I trying to lose my scholarship. " I was out there, each game busting my ass up and down the court! Nobody passed me the ball! I was open! I'm one of the best fucking players you got but you gone cut me over some bullshit that had nothing to do with me."
" don't put it all on us." Trey chipped in. Wow, the first words he had spoken to me in so long and they sounded so angry. " You fucked up too."
" How? I didn't fuck your sister and act like shit was just supposed to be all good."
" okay," Coach slapped a hand on my chest. " shut up, the both of you. Until you three work out your problems, you're all still cut."
I just walked out and went to shower with the rest of the team.
I had to call Raven so she could talk to her punk ass boyfriend so I could get back on the team. Maybe I could call Yvonne too, because after all, that was Garret's baby mama now.
