Kristen's POV:
As I was walking away I could sense Melo just staring at me. I have no idea what was wrong with that child but I feel bad for his girlfriend. I didn't want her to get the wrong idea about us so I walked away. Just as well though, because I think I might have just stumbled upon one of the most beautiful boy's I have ever seen. "Hey Kristen" Big O said. "Hi O" I replied. "Having fun?" he said. "yeah it s alright I guess just trying to settle in and make some more friends here in Cali. "Okay, I want you to meet my friends who I play with in the Compton Magic basketball team with. They're all kind of shy as well because they ain't used to Chino but I guess since our ne too you guys can bond" he said "Okay cool, where are they?" I asked. "Yo guys, come over here" he yelled
My oh My, and did the boys come rolling in.
One in particular caught my attention though. When he introduced himself to me he was so soft, gentle and just really nice. I think my heart melted. "Hi my name's Jules. Jules Bernard. But you can call me JB or whatever. "More like baby" I whispered under my breath. "what?" he said "oh nothing, I'm Kristen". I quickly replied back.
We were talking for a while now and all was good until, well.... someone had to ruin the moment. "Hey! Jules right?" Melo questioned. "Yeah, don't you remeber we beat you the other day by like... 50 points". Jules replied. I could feel the tension between them and i did not like it. "If beat, you mean fouled, Oh and don't get me started on your missed dunks". Melo said laughing. I felt kind f bad for Jules because he looked a little embarresed. Melo was standing right next to me and Jules was facing me standing opposite. I started to feel uncomfortable so i just kept quiet. Then Melo decided to open his mouth again. "Anyways, thats not what i came here for." he turned to face me and then continued talking by whispering in my ear."Are you having a good time? I hope O's friends aren't boring you to death." At this point i was just staring at Jules because i couldn't handle Melo's rudeness. I then turned to face Melo and said, "It's nice of you be concerned, but i'm fine." I then heard Jules giggle a little but I was serious. "Lamelo, where are you? Oh there you are. Baby I was looking for you everywhere". I heard a familiar voice yell. Oh there she was again. Mikayla. I had nothing against her but she clearly didn't like me.
"Mikayla i'm busy" Lamelo said. "What could possibly be more important than me" she said laughing. "JK, I'm just joking. Take a joke, I was just getting lonely and I needed you". she said with a pouty face grabbing his hand and that annoying baby voice. Of coarse, he fell for it because she clearly shoved it down his throat. But why do I even care? Should I? I just met him and it's non of my business anyways. I just tried to ignore it and focus on the gorgeous boy that was standing in front of me.
Lamelo and Mikayla then walked off and me and Jules were still standing there together. "What was that all about" he questioned me. "Oh that... that was uhhh....uhhh Lamelo's... ummm girlfriend" I for some reason struggled saying. "Oh I know that. I meant, how did you feel about that" he asked raising his eyebrows. "What are you talking about. Nothing. I felt absolutely nothing. I've only just met Melo and i'm only angry because he's been annoying me all day, wanting to hang out with me, being all nice, then this girl comes and he straight away ditches. THAT'S ALL." I said really fast that I had to catch my breath. I didn't even realize I was ranting. "Okay, absolutely nothing" he said sarcastically rolling his eyes. Then we both started laughing. "You know, your a nice girl. Different and not like any I've met before, people can take advantage of that. There's a lot of niggas out here in Cali and I just want you to be careful, because they be breaking hearts out here like pencils." he said looking right at me. I just felt so close to him and I didn't even know what it was. Was it his lips, the sound of his voice, his cologne or just his presence. He seemed like he cared so much and right after his last sentence he smiled, because he noticed I dozed off a little. "Ummm.... are you there?" he said smiling. "What? Huh... yeah. Yeah i'm right here" I said awkwardly. "Well, you get the point right?" he said. "Oh yeah definitely, don't worry I ain't that stupid and I'm not desperate either. I'm not really looking for a boyfriend , I just wanna focus on my career" I said seriously. "That's great, you know I have real respect for that cause I'm the same. You just need a guy friend that can hold it down for you. You feel me" he said smiling. "Oh. okay. A guy friend huh... why are you offering? I said back with a smile. "Well, you asked. Not me. But I uhhh... don't see Melo 'round here so???" He said with his hand out and eyebrows raised. "Oh my goodness Jules, your too much" I said laughing out loud. We then both started laughing and carried on talking. On the corner of my eye I could see Lamelo sitting down with Mikayla on his lap. He was staring at us like he was watching T.V and I didn't care at all.
