Ball Is Life

Chapter 1.2

Chris

"Run!"

Coach yelled across the gym. I looked behind me and a guy name Mijo, Trell were walking and on the side of them was my dumb as brother Micheal, It's been a week since the whole break up with our girlfriend ordeal went down and Micheal hasn't said shit to me since.

"Another 10 laps for you three!" Coach yelled again, I chuckled when I heard Micheal yell, 'Hell nah!'. By now, I couldn't stop laughing. The rest of the team had finished their laps and were on our water break, watching them run around the court. I thought this shit was priceless.

"Chris!" Coach yelled.

"Yeah, coach?"

"You think they should stop?" He asked me.

Micheal's eyes came darting over to mines, he sent me a glare then soon dropped it when coach said.

"Their fate is in your hands." A sly smirk came across his face.

I looked back to the court and Micheal's eyes were pleading with mines.

"Yeah, I think we need to actually practice instead of watching them run." I said drinking from my water bottle.

"Alright, guys. Stop running and take yall water break." Coach said nodding his head to the water bottles that sat on the bleachers. They ran to the water bottles drinking from the water bottles, then Mijo walked up to me.

"Aye, thank bro. I owe you." He said squirting the water from the bottle in his mouth.

"No problem bro, I got you." I said pounding his fist he had offered me.

"So, you gone come to the party tonight?" He asked me.

"What party?" I asked him.

Before we moved, I knew who was throwing the parties, where they were gonna be, but now, I'm fucking clueless.

"My party, I throw the hypest parties ever. I have all the females throwing their butts back and some more stuff, you should come tho."

"What time it start, I'll bring some fruit." I said giving him secret code for Marijuana.

"My nigga, I can tell we gone be good friends already." He said nodding his head.

A new friend doesn't sound so bad.

We were almost done with practice when a couple of girls came running in the gym with basketball shorts on and as it looked like, practice jersey's. They were laughing loudly, they then came to a halt when they saw the gym was being used, I then watched as two girls tried to sneak their way out the gym.

"India, Crystal. Here now." Coach said to them in a strict tone.

They turned around, then Micheal tapped my shoulder then pointed to the one with wild hair, good thing it looked good on her.

"Yesss?" They asked at the same time.

"Why aren't you girls in practice?" He asked them.

"We were in practice, then we decided to chill." Crystal said.

"That doesn't explain why your out here running wild and not practicing-."

"Our, coach said we could take a break, your not our coach, no offense, so you should just worry about you team, aight." India sad with so much force it could knock a chick out with one punch.

"India, don't test me."

"I'm not-."

"I'm still your father." He said in a calm tone.
