Basketball or Love?

Chapter 1

My name is Janelle but you can call me Nelly. Basketball is life as you can tell it's runs in the family. My mom was a WNBA star until she stopped because she had cancer and she survived it. It passed on down to my little sister that is 13 her name is Jasmine. All of us has J's in our names. My moms name is Jamie and my brothers is Jaden and my dad's name is Jerell but he doesn't lives with us either they are divorced and I live with my mom and sister and brother.

Now to tell you, I have been at Atlanta Performing Arts since kindergarten and I have gotten expelled for fighting a boy that called me a bitch. This is my first day at a public high school and to tell you I don't know anybody so let's see how this goes.

Mom: Nelly wake up first day!

Me: Ugh, I shouldn't have never hit that boy. That was a dumb decision, Mom please can you call the school see if they can take me back please !!

Mom: Okay I will try to see but you still have to go!

I sighed and went upstairs and got dressed and went to the car and pulled up to the school

?: Yo look at shawty she bad

?: I need that number

Mom: ooo Nelly bouta get numbers ooo kill em

Jasmine: mom come on we have to go to the doctors for my kemo therapy

Janelle: bye mom

Mom: Bye I'll be here at 3:25!

Mom leaves and I walked in and people are staring at me like damnnn and they asking for my number and stuff

Monica: man I wanna beat all they ass let me Ariana please?

I walked away and went to my locker and I walked to class and saw the girl Kennedy and she was fighting this girl and I stopped and watched like everyone else did and I went to see who she was getting beat up by and I went to look it was Ariana! Oh my god I was shocked Ariana was cool and she beat Kennedy's ass.

*Everybody is screaming like "omg she beat the fuck outta her"*

I walked away and I ran into the cute boy I was talking about and our eyes met like he is so cute y'all.

The boy: watch out watch out Spalding

Janelle: my name isn't Spalding
