Love and Basketball {Book 1}

Chapter 19: Time For....BITDMN

Nyesha's POV
__________

The day couldn't go by any slower, I was in last period waiting for this teacher to shut up.

Teacher: Back in my day....

(Bell rings)

I ran out of that classroom and straight to my locker, when I got there Chase was already waiting there for me.

Chase: Hey Baby girl
Nyesha: Hey baby boy
Chase: you coming to my basketball practise?
Nyesha: Hell Yah, I even made up a cheer
Chase: please don't say your cheers, Remember your last one
Nyesha: it wasn't that bad
Chase: you made up one calling them sexist pigs, all because they said you couldn't be on the guys basketball team
Nyesha: they put me on the team afterwards and look what happened. We won, baby
Chase: come on, it's time for tryouts, and do me a favour
Nyesha: anything
Chase: if I make the team, scream as loud as you can
Nyesha: ok

We walked to the gym hand-in-hand and then we broke apart so he could warm up and I could get a good view of the game. After about 10 minutes of them stretching they started tryouts with a warm up game. Now Dustin being a good team captain was watching the team players, But Dustin being an asshole was also picking Chase. Since I got a good seat I could hear everything.

Dustin: Chase, move faster
Chase: yes coach (Runs faster)
Dustin: Chase go slower
Chase: yes coach (goes slower)

After practise it was the same thing, go clean up the gym, yes coach, put away the basketballs, yes coach and every time Chase says yes coach I got even more pissed by the second. I got to the point were I was gonna say something but Chase said "no don't" so I told Chase to meet me in the parking lot when he's done

Chase's POV

Dustin: I'm leaving lock up after your done (Walking off )
Chase: no
Dustin: ( stops, turns back) What did you say?
Chase: I said no, I wasn't gonna say anything because everyone was here but seriously man, your only picking on me, what did I do to you?
Dustin: you wanna know what you did?
Chase: Yes
Dustin: you took Nyesha away from me, okay?, she was that one girl that actually put up with my crap, and you stole her
Chase: uh, Dustin, I didn't steal her, you pushed her away
Dustin: How did I push her away?
Chase: telling everyone that you hit that when you full on know you didn't, that can be testified as pushing her away
Dustin: it can?
Chase: yah and by telling her she has no friends doesn't exactly pull her closer
Dustin: Oh, um, Chase?
Chase: Yah?
Dustin: Do you like Nyesha?
Chase: yup
Dustin: you do?
Chase: Nah, I'm just playin, that's my sister
Dustin: oh okay
Chase: do you like her?
Dustin: pfft...... No
Chase: alright well I have a movie night to attend to, so later
Dustin: later
Chase: if you want you can come?
Dustin: maybe I'll stop by later
Chase: ok

I walked out of the gym feeling accomplished, I know Nyesha likes Dustin she's just so damn stubborn to admit it, when I found Nyesha's car, she was inside the car, dancing. I walked up to the window and knocked on it. She looked embarrassed but unlocked the door anyways.

Nyesha: Did you make the team?
Chase: I don't know
Nyesha: okay (Turns on radio, So Sick plays By: Ne-yo)
Chase: remember when this was our song
Nyesha: yah
Chase: Freestyle it
Nyesha: what?
Chase: Freestyle it, like back in the day
Nyesha:
Gotta fix that calendar I have
That's marked September 9th
Because since were no longer friends
There goes our happy memories
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And our history
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be

That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
You said you loved me, why anit you here
I'm so sick of these love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Chase: nice, and I know who your talking about
Nyesha: who said I was talking about anyone?, I could've just been free styling for fun
Chase: are you forgetting that I've known you since you were 3?
Nyesha: okay mr.Know it all who was I free styling about?
Chase: Dustin
Nyesha: how do you figure that?
Chase: September 9th, no longer friends, thoughts of you, history
Nyesha: wait how did you get history?
Chase: you guys have history class together
Nyesha: oh yah, but you know when I'm free styling it doesn't come from the brain
Chase: yah it comes from heart
Nyesha: hey look were here

She parked the car and went inside the house, i sat on the couch and got the movies while she got the pillows and blankets. She came downstairs and set up the movie station while I went and grabbed an extra pillow and blanket for Dustin, when I got back I saw Alexis sitting on top of Nyesha.

Chase: Hey Alexis
Alexis: Who are you?
Chase: you don't remember your playground buddy?
Alexis: Chasy
Nyesha: (Laughs) Chasy?
Chase: yup
Nyesha: who's the extra pillow for?
Chase: It's a surprise
Nyesha: k set up there station and I'll make snacks
(Doorbell rings)
Chase: I'll get it

Nyesha's POV

I was getting out the candy when I felt hands around my waist. My reflexes kicked in so I ended up hitting the person in the "Spot", right when I turned around to apologize I noticed that it was Dustin so I went back to what I was doing.

Dustin: So what's up?
Nyesha: nothing
Dustin: Are you mad at me?
Nyesha: Nope
Dustin: good cau--
Nyesha: I'm infuriated (puts popcorn in microwave)
Dustin: what can I do to make you no longer infuriated at me?
Nyesha: I told you, Chasy come in here!
(Chase walks in)
Chase: what?
Nyesha: what movies are we choosing from?
Chase: White Chicks, Little Man and Rush Hour 3
Nyesha: alright meet us in the living room I'm gonna bring the snacks (Microwave Beeps)
Chase: okay (Walks out)
Dustin: so you and Chase dating?
Nyesha: no, but were really close
Dustin: To dating?
Nyesha: no he's like a brother to me, and, why do you care?
Dustin: I don't
Nyesha: ( moves in closer to Dustin) are you sure?
Dustin: p-positive
Nyesha: (Right in front of dustin) Positive
Dustin: yup
Nyesha: good (walks off)
