Chapter 39: Game On (Part I)

Chapter 39: Game On (Part I)

*Kamaal's POV*

The basketball team of Cross High School has officially taken over my life. Outside of school and practice, I barely have time to spend with Chris. It's cool, cause the step team is still undefeated. I'm proud of my baby leadin his team to victory. As far as basketball goes, everything is everything. We're just 1 more game away from the playoffs. Jamal and I don't really communicate in practice, and he's still playin childish ass games by not passin me the ball. Tonight is the game that determines if we make it to the playoffs. The team gets 5 complimentary tickets to the game, so I'm takin my family, and I'll see of Chris and his crew wants to roll through. I grab my phone and hit him up.

"Hey Kamaal"

"Wassup baby boy? What you up to?"

'Nothin, just clowning around with Trey and Myra."

"Oh, are y'all goin to the game tonight?"

"Nah, Trey and I couldn't get a ticket in time." Chris says

"Oh, if y'all still wanna go I have extra tickets."

'Really? Hold on, let me ask him."

Chris places me on hold asks Trey if he wants to go. I hear his ass in the background.

"NIGGA YOU BETTA TAKE THEM FREE TICKETS!" Trey says

"Yeah we'll take them"

"Cool, I'll be over later on to give them to you.''

"Aight baby, thank you!" Chris says as he hangs up.

*Chris's POV*

Well it looks like we're all going to the game tonight. My baby pulled through for us. We're all sitting in my living eating and playing monopoly. Myra calls Trey out when he lands on her property.

"Uh uh, bitch!!! Back that little car up! You owe me some money!"

"What are you talkin about girl? Ain't nobody land on your shit!"

"Trey, yes you did!!! You rolled a 9, meaning you landed on my property! Now pay me my $1100!" Myra says as she holds out her hand.

This happens every time we play this game. Trey lands on Myra's property, tries to be slick, and then they argue. Pretty soon I'm gonna be slapping Myra's hand because she likes to steal from the bank. After 5 minutes of them arguing, I was over it.

"Trey just pay the girl already! Damn!"

Trey rolls his eyes and pays her.

" If y'all wanna get technical, the way that the board is against the table caused the die to roll a certain way, which is why I took that extra space."

"Boy shutup, you're full of shit you know!"

We continue playing and Trey gets mad because I landed on free parking, taking the $1500 jackpot.

"Hell nah bruh! That's the third time you landed there!"

"Are you mad cause your little car is parked in jail?"

"Whatever! This game is rigged!"

"Ain't shit rigged, you're right where you belong, so everything is fine."

10 minutes later, a knock comes at the door. I pause the game, and go answer it. Halfway toward the door, I stop dead in my tracks. I turn around, grab the Monopoly money, and take it with me. I forgot who the hell I was playing with. I answer the door, and Kamaal is on the other side with his red and white Cross High School basketball sweats.
