So its been a month that Darren has been talking to each other on that level. I decided to move out from that dorm and move to the athletic building where all the athletes were. I had a room for myself.

" Pass me the cup. " I said to Darren who was sitting on the couch. He got up and handed me the cup. I was almost finish washing the dishes.

" What you doing today ? " I asked him

" We have our game today. Are you coming ? " he said

" Of course I will come. What time ? " I said drying my hands.

" 4 o'clock. " I stopped in the middle of the living room.

" What happen ? " he said

" I thought it was earlier. I have practice that time. What time it end ? " I said fixing the DVD rack.

" At 6 " he said

" I leave practice at 5:30. I will make it. I hope. I won't have time to change though " I sat next to him on the couch.

He turned to me " As long as you see when I score the winning basket "

I smiled " Of course, I will be there. "

I turned on the radio and heard Jordan new single playing. I immediately got up and started dancing. It was an up beat hi hop song.

Darren started laughing at me " I have to go get ready for my game. I got practice first " I kissed him goodbye.

I was walking into the bathroom when I heard my ooVoo video chat ringing. I answered it and it was my ex.

" What's up " he said

" Nothing much. About to get in the shower. " I said

" Can I join ? " I rolled my eyes. I hate that corny line

" I don't think the person I talk to would like that. " I said. His facial expression changed

" So you cheating on me ? " I laughed till tears came out my eyes.

" What ?! We don't go out William. You are mental " I said

" Yeah. Okay. You will see " and then he hung up. I got my towel and went in the shower.

After my shower I dried off and put on my sweats and top. I put my compression shorts and spikes in my Nike duffel bag then left.

I walked onto the track and started getting dressed for practice. I don't have much friends on campus because I feel I focus better without them. I been running track since middle school. I warmed up and did 15 laps. I did 30 A skips and 30 run outs. I did 45 squats and 35 T skips. I checked my watch and it was 5:30 already.

I quickly got dressed in my sweats and ran to the gym. I walked in and sat far away from everybody so they couldn't smell me because I was not smelling good at all.

They were already into their 3rd quarter I think. I don't really watch basketball. But Medgar Evers was winning by 30 points. I sat and watched for about 15 minutes. The buzzer rang. I'm guessing it was the last quarter.

" Go Darren !!! " I heard a ratchet high pitched voice coming from the stands. I turned around and it was Tasha. I rolled my eyes. I pulled out my phone and started recording.

There was only a few more seconds into the game and Darren had the ball. He shot from the 3 pointer line and it went in ! Medgar won ! Everyone went wild. They shook the other team hands and then the other team left.
