Mhnm...I love my mama's food. But I love her Mac and cheese the best. Nice a creamy and all. Mhnm

After I eat dinner, I go to my room to fill out papers ms.c gave me. When I look through the papers, I see a basketball flyer. I must've swooped it up. It's dont matter because ball is life. Basketball is number one. I get happy while I read it. And it says:
1) 3 day try outs
2) have to actually know how to play
3) have to actually know the rules.
4) have to have real basketball shoes
5) have to know good sportsman ship
Deadline for money is a week after try outs if you make the team good luck.

OMG!!! Try outs is tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. Thank The Lord I didn't come any day later.
Me:mama?!
Mama: yeah baby girl
Me: look {I show her the basketball flyer}
Mama: the school is know for basketball. Maybe you'll get noticed
Me: I hope. I will so I'm going to try out. I won't be home until 7:45 then
Mama: as long as your here by 8:30
Me: thanks mama. I love you
I walk out and start to pack my gym bag because I'm going to play basketball.

*next day*
*Jimal pov*
Why do we have morning announcements? Like we stand there and they repeat themselves 100 times!
Oh snap! Here comes the babe, I mean Joyze. Damn, she was looking mighty fine in red high waist pants, black collared shirt that had white poke-a-dots. Her sneaker game was on point. Them bred 11's...I'm still waiting for mine.
Joyze: hey Jimal
Me: hey. But be quiet. They take announcements seriously.
Joyze:ok
*skip to 3rd period*
*joyze pov*
Thank The Lord I have a free period. I'm going to the playground and walk around. I need air.
Oh god! Not this kind of air. Devon is coming towards me and he looks kind of mad. Okay, very mad. But that bruise suits him well. I wonder where he got and for how much. Oh god, he clenched his fist and before I know it I'm on the ground with a heavy object on me.
??: hey hey hey
Devon:*punches me*
??: Devon stop it
Devon: Stacy stay out
OOOH, so that's the famous Stacy. The bully's girlfriend. Devon's girlfriend.
Stacy: Devon stop now before you hu--
And that was the last thing heard. I don't think she finished her sentence but oh well.... Why does it feel like a earthquake? Why does it feel like someone is shaking me? Or is a earthquake? Did they leave me outside, I'm not tying to get dark. I like my caramel skin color.
