"If. Coach. Makes. My. Fat. Ass. Run. Another. Lap. I'm gone snap!" Paris breathed hard next to me.

I laughed, "One more to go baby. I told you to come work out with me."

"And I told you my fat ass wasn't working out."

"And look where that got you!" I laughed.

"Lookie here, what we need to do is actually practice. Not this fuck boy ass running."

"We at the finish line. Come on. Run faster." I said as we picked up speed and ran past the starting line and to the wall.

"I'm going to get a note from my doctor saying that I have FatBitchCantRun hypnosis." Paris said as we walked over to the bleachers.

I fell out laughing, "bitch, there's no such thing." I said as I slapped my thigh laughing.

"Shit, with me it might be true."

"Paris, chill out. You not even fat." I laughed.

"I know, but why do I feel like a fat person inside of skinny person body. They must know I love food."

"I guess. But what's up with you and Mijo?" I asked her.

"Sit, wanna call him and ask?" She asked pulling out her phone from her gym bag. "Cause I wanna know too!"

"You a damn fool. But you know that's my druggie bestfriend and you know he gets around."

"But I'm willing to change him tho."

"Have you ever heard, you can turn a hoe into a housewife. Well, you can't turn one into a husband either."

"Preach!" Crystal said behind us.

"Now am I right, or am I right!" I said slapping her hand.

"But who we talking about?" Crystal asked.

"Mijo."

"Aye, the druggie."

"Hey!" Paris said. "He's not a druggie."

I laughed, "Do you really believe that shit?"

"No."

"I kind of figured." Crystal said.

"LADIES!"

We looked up to see coach Williams standing in the middle of the court. The girls that were still jogging stopped as all eyes went on her.

"We are gonna cut practice short-"

"Thanks you Jesus!" Paris said. Everyone looked over at Paris and I smirked and shook my head placing the attention back in coach.

"Paris, you wanna run another lap?" Coach asked.

"Aw, hell nah coach. I love basketball but I'm not gonna be running for too much longer."

"Alright, then don't interrupt me again." She said pointing to her. "I'll cut practice short if we go over to the boys gym and beat them in a game of 21."

"Aw hell yeah. This gone be easy!" I said as I dapped up Paris and Crystal.

"If it's so easy, I expect us to win. Crystal, India. Y'all dad been talking smack. I think we should show them who's going to be number one this year. Again. And again. And again."

"Can we go now? I have a date I have to get ready for." Crystal said fluffing out her hair.

"What about the doctors appointment?" Coach asked Crystal.
