I just got done with basketball practice and I'm just chillin in the locker room oh my phone. I put on my slides and put my bag around my shoulder. I'm always the last person to leave I swear I don't know why.I walked out the locker room into the gym on my phone. I looked up and saw Chris shooting around with his shirt off. Oh my gawhhhhhh that boy got abs for days. I didn't realize how hard I was staring until he said something.
"You ain't gotta stare so hard babygirl I'm all yours" he shot the ball and made a 3 pointer
I rolled my eyes and put my bag down on the bench then walked over to him. The boys get done early then the girls but I wander why he not shoot in the other gym.
"How come you shooting in here?" I asked
"Leadership decorating for something i don't know" I knew what he meant
"Awe ok, how was your first practice" I took the ball from him
"It was koo I was doin my thang and Coach Davis wants me to start varsity"
"Oooo your just that good huh" I started dribbling the ball between my legs
"Hell yeah" he looked at me like I was stupid it
"Don't look at me like that you will get yo ass beat" I chucked shooting the ball
"Yeah yeah" he just waved me off "play one on one with me" he got my rebound and thru me the ball
I thought about it for a second. I do need to get home to my sisters.
"I really shouldn't I got things to do" I insured him and he smacked his lips
"Scary ass" he mumbled
"Whoaaaaaa don't do that nigga"
"It's the truth" he shrugged his shoulders
"Alright watch me win. Check!" I thru him the ball and he smirked
Chris started guarding me. I did a fake jumper making him put his hands up, then I drove to the basket for a lay-up.
"Make it take it?" I tossed him the ball and he nodded and tossed it back
He was farther back this time so I just shot a 3 pointer and made it.
"No nigga that plays varsity would let that happen to him" I laughed
"Is that right?"
"Uhhh yeah"
"Let's make a bet"
"I'm listening" I dribbled that ball
"If I win you gotta give me yo number" he licked his lips
"And if I win you gotta buy me lunch for 2 weeks" I smiled
"Bhet."
"Bhet."
I started dribbling at him. I crossed it left between my legs then back to right behind my back. I then crossed it over and he stole the ball and went for a lay-up. I'm not gonna lie that pissed me off.
"Check!" He tossed me the ball and I thru it back at him
"You mad?" H chuckled
"Nah nigga" I said with a straight face and started guarding him
I got low and put my arm out guarding him. He drove to the basket and I was still on him. He jump stopped and pulled up for a floater and made it. I looked at him and he smiled and put his hands. I rolled my eyes and gave him the ball.

The score was 9-9 and it was my ball. Chris checked it. I crossed it behind my back and drove for a lay-up and he blocked my shot causing me to fall. Chris ran after the ball and shot a 3.
