Four Letter Word

Chapter 2.

Taysha's P.O.V

I started warming up and shoting hoops. Our girls basketball team pretty much sucked ass since half of the girls on the team don't even like eachother. Last season I think we only won two games out of twelve. These girls were really crazy. During one game our forward got mad and grabbed onto another's girls leg and made her bust open her lip. It wasn't a pretty site. When we asked Natashia why she did she shrugged and said "she winked at my boyfriend, then tried to trip me". Sometimes I want to quit but I love the game too much to do so.

...

Mid way throughout practice I heard my phone ringing and walked over to it seeing that I got a text from Dominic. Well actual his name is dummy because he acts like an idiot who is being controlled by an even bigger idiot, his boss. 

—-  'Dummy: Hey can you come home and watch Dj I gotta go to work today'

I sighed and texted back "yeah"

Missing practice sucked I love basketball but I love Dj more I know it's hard on Dominic because he doesn't really have any body else there to help him out. Dj's mom died while giving birth to him. Dominic is still thrown by it all. Sometimes he goes to the attic and stays up there for hours looking at her pictures. He was disconnected from the world at one point and I had to remind him why he has to keep moving forward. That Abby wouldn't have wanted him to be that way. I know it's even harder now because Dj looks a lot like her except for his eyes.

...

I went over to my coach and told him I needed to watch Dj and he told me that it's was no problem he understands Dominic's situation and plus that used to be his favorite student and player. 

—-

"Why didn't you come to practice today!? How do you expect your team to get better if you're never there?" Chris was yelling through the phone. I hardly ever miss practice and when I do he over does it with the yelling.

"I did come but I had to come home and watch Dj. Dom had work.. and umm can you do me a favor?"

"Yeah whats up?" he said in a calm voice I promise you he is bipolar.

"I have this friend her name is Mina an-" he cut me off

"Oh lord.. You know how many people told me she likes me? this week" I laughed at him

"Really? Is she ugly to you?"

"Nah.. not at all"

"Oh. good now you can call her."

"No." he said it so fast without even thinking about it.

"What do you mean no? Why not?" 

"Cause girls are always like "ooh he likes me. ohh myy goooshh he just called me", its annoying." he tried talking in his best girl voice.

"Really Chris? Girls do not act like that just call her please i'll give you her number."

"Fine only cause you told me to and I bet money that they do act like that."

He called her and told me to stay on the phone, incase I didn't believe that he was actualy going to call her.

"Hello?"

"Hey What's up Mina it's Christian"

"Oh hey" she sounded really nervous. "how did you get my number?"

"Tay gave it to me, is that alright?" he said cooly

"Oh..Yeah." her voice cracked. she was trying so hard to keep her cool.

"So.. I heard you like me."

She was quiet and you could tell from when she started speaking she was blushing. For a girl who didn't know when to stop talking she sure as hell was speechless right now.

"Who told you that?"

"Ah so it's true." I knew he was smirking.

"I never said that" she said quickly

"You didnt deny it ethier." Then somebody called her name

"Um can I call you back?"

"Yeah." She said bye then hung up

"See chrisy that wasn't so hard now was it?"

"Shut up"

My phone beeped and it was mina so I clicked over

" Hello?"

"Oh my gosh  Taysha he called me! Do you think he likes me? I was so nervous!"

I laughed a little

"Are you going to call him back?"

"I don't know, I can usually go on and on and on you know? but with him i'm shy gosh! I couldn't stop smiling but I want to text him. Can i text him becasue I want to text him. I think should because you know... I don't think I can handle his voice again."

"Yeah"  I laughed at how excited she was "You should text him."

"Bye girl!" Then she hung up and the call went back to Chris.

"You owe me money huh?"

"What? No! That was Danny!." there was silence for a minute before he spoke again.

"Liar. It's ohkay you ain't gotta lie you can give me 50 Cent since you are broke."

"I hate you."

"I love you too."
