Well, just when things were getting better in life for me, things got pretty rough. I mean, I hope you wasn't excepting one of those perfect cliches cause then you've stepped into the wrong book honey!

For the past week I've been studying for this big math test we got coming up that's been pretty stressful since I can't seem to understand much of it. Jackson and Ashely have been trying to help me with it which is help, but ima need some more practice.

But to make things worse, just as I was beginning to find my footing, drama decided to come waltzing into my life.

It all started when Lucy, Cameron, and Jackson asked if we wanted to go to the basketball court with them. I shrugged and decided I ought to go.

Once we got there, Keanu and Jackson's basketball buddies were already there, playing a match of their own.

Hey man! Keanu said to a guy.

Wassup! The guy said, and Keanu and Jackson exchanged daps with their buddies.

Hey, I brung along two of my lady friends who wanna get a few hoops in! Keanu said, nodding over to Lucy and I.

They nodded. That's cool, let's start make teams.

The dude who was picking the teams name was Logan, who was a Indian dude with light brown eyes, and cute dimples.

Lucy, Jackson, and I ended up on the same team, with two other dudes, and the others including Keanu was on Logan's team.

We ended up playing a couples of rounds, and of course, they underestimated me and Lucy cause we're girls, but as soon as we busted out our moves, they started getting tougher, and passing us the ball when we asked for it.

Taking a break, Lucy was talking with Logan, all of us getting water bottles from the cooler they had brung, and Jackson had the basketball in his hand.

At the moment, I watched Jackson do some cool basketball tricks alone until I decided to step in.

Show off! I shouted to him.

He turned around, his messy low bun moving, to see who said that, but only narrowed his eyes when he saw it was me.

Huh, you're just jealous that I have better skills than you! He teased, sticking his tongue out at me....... momentarily I'm have a cute overload right now.

Alright, let me show you how it's done! I said, swaggering over to him.

He passed me the ball, and I took it before doing a few tricks, while he circled me, pretending to stroke an imaginary beard.

Not bad, not bad, but I can do better! He finally said, as he grabbed the ball from me.

Hey! I squealed as I attempted to chase after him.

Things were going great with Lucy and Logan exchanging Snapchats, and me and Jackson chasing around....... until they rolled up.

It was Veronica and that black guy she was flirting with and her sorry excuse for a gang.

Hey man, wassup! The dude said to Logan and they exchanged handshakes.

Me, Lucy, and Jackson exchanged looks.

Mind if we join in for a, friendly game of basketball? The guy said.

Before Logan could answer, Jackson spoke up.

Actually, the court is kinda full, we're good, just takin a break. Jackson replied with a straight face.
