Riley's POV

We were playing basketball at the river court right before the first game.
"Come on Luke and Riley. It's almost 6:30." Skills said.
"Aww you guys don't have to go it's only a game." I explained.
"And now its the first game and we ain't gotta come? Mnh-Mnh. We going. This game is for all of us." Skills shouted. I grab my brothers and Luke and drive him to Whitey Durhams Courthouse. I hand my brothers 20 bucks.
"Hey guys that's for dinner. Don't spend it on junk. Also when you guys see Haley go sit with her. Get it. Got it. Good."  I hoped I made it clear enough. Luke and I walk out of the car looking around we see all of the team staggering in.
"Well let's hope we don't screw this up." I announce.
"Naw we got this game in the bag. Let's just hope they actually pass us the ball this time." Lucas vocalized.
"Yeah I sure hope they do." I say racing Lucas in there. We rush into the locker rooms. I see all of the cheerleaders getting ready. The only difference between us is I'm not putting makeup and skirts on, I'm putting on shorts and a ponytail. At least ten minutes later I rush out to the outside of locker room so I can run out with the rest of the team. We run out and Nathan grabs a ball and dunks it. I grab the ball and start making all sorts of baskets behind the three point line. As I see the other team run in I hear guys whistling.
"Hey didn't know we were playing against the girls team. Better go easy on them." I hear one of the Verona players say. I grab the ball and go full court and make a basket into their hoop and I hear all of there crude comments die down.  I glance up to see if my brothers found Haley and Lucas's uncle Keith. As I glance up I see the dad of Nathan glance at me very strangely not knowing what that meant I kept playing.
"Buzzzzz" the bell sang.
"Ok team. Hustle, hustle." Whitey shouted.
"One two three Ravens."we scream. The starters head out there Lucas, Nate, Tim,Spingler, and Me. I get tossed the ball and make it scoring three points for our team. Once I have the ball again I pass the ball to Luke. He shoots and it bounced off the rim.
"What team you playing for?" Nathan asked. Lucas just walked away. Few missed baskets later Whitey pulled Lucas out of the game.
"Not your night son." Whitey declared. I walk by Luke.
"I'm sorry Luke."
"It's alright Riles. You just play don't worry about me."
*15 seconds left of the game*
I grab the ball toss it to Nathan and he dodges three players and dunks the ball as the buzzer went off.
78-64
Ravens won. I start walking to the locker room and Nathan's dad stopped me.
"You look just like your mother." He expressed. I ran to the locker room. I needed to talk to Luke.
