Crush g.d•short story

Uno

6th grade

"Pass the ball Chris!" I ran to the side of the court and caught the basketball in my hands. I dribbled faster than I thought I was capable of. A rush of adrenaline took over my body as I threw the ball up to the net.

"Shot!"

I smiled proud of myself.

Maybe I'll play in the team, I'm sort of good enough.

That's until he was back in the game from the short break he was taking.

"score one gray!"

"You got this bro."

"Just one more point and we win!"

Never mind.

"Alright Grayson you're point guard." Said the P.E teacher. I cursed to myself.

So was I.

He got the ball and began dribbling slowly and perfect as always. His game face was on, it was intimidating. He always gets very serious when he's playing whatever sport or game. Boy was it hot. He began walking towards my side of the court guiding the ball from getting into anyone's reach. I just stood back near the net. I can't take the ball away from him. He'll just break my ankles... I'll save myself from the embarrassment.

He began running, spinning around everyone swiftly. I got in front of him and jumped as high as I could trying to block him from doing a lay up.

"Oof." I bumped into his chest almost knocking both of us to the ground.

The whistle blew, damn it.

"Sam that's a foul." Grayson said expressionless.

"O-oh." I hated stuttering, I couldn't  control it when I'd be around him.

I thought it wasn't normal but it took me awhile to realize why it would happen.

He looked at me in the eyes briefly. He was panting and lifted his shirt to clear the sweat from his face. I blushed and looked away getting off the court for some water.

"Hey where you going?" Asked one of my friends.

"Getting some water." She followed me into the locker room and we sat down sweaty and tired.

This was just an excuse. I wasn't all that thirsty or tired. I just didn't want him to have the smallest clue that I liked him, even though it's been a year or two since I began to have a liking for the boy. I'm way to shy to admit that I have a crush on him. I'm never telling him or anyone.

And I'll make sure it'll stay that way.
