Chapter Three

Gianna H.

I clapped as the boys game ended.

The score was 115-89 in favor of us. So I was really happy.

Dame and I walked to the locker rooms to wait for Brayden and congratulate him.

"Hey ma" Brayden said with a huge smile on his face.

"Hey baby" I said hugging him.

"Bray, this is D..."

"Damian Lillard" he interrupted me as he shook Dame's  hand.

"Yo that game you just played, I think Portland will be very interested" He said.

"Yooo for real? man i'm trying, i really appreciate it" Bray said.

"Now don't go putting dreams on my kid, Dame" I said.

"It ain't no dream, the kid's good and I know exactly where he got it from" He said looking at me and then past me.

I furrowed my eyebrows confused.

Then i turned around only to see Brandon coming our way.

Great... just great.

"Sup Dame" he said dapping him up.

"Im proud of you son" He said hugging Brayden.

"Gia" He went in for a hug but I shook his hand instead.

He made a face and turned towards Brayden.

"Great game son you got potential" He said.

"Thanks pops" Brayden said. I saw his face light up with happiness.

"Well ima fall out. B it was nice meeting you ask your moms for my info and we'll be in touch" he said dapping Brayden up.

"Yea of course. Preciate it"

"Bibby" He dapped him up.

"Dame" He said barley dapping him up.

"Gia always nice to see you" he said hugging me. 

"Take care Dame" I whispered, hoping Brandon wouldn't hear.

I sighed as Dame walked away.

"Okay well Brayden and I will head home now" I said pulling the strap of my bag over my shoulder.

"I'll drive ya'll home" Brandon said.

"uhh I actually promised my teammates we would go out to celebrate" Brayden said.

"Oh okay well go on and be safe" I said hugging him.

"yea go ahead you grown now. i'll take ya moms home"

I furrowed my eyebrows "It's fine I can take Uber"

"Nah you coming with me" He said, "and don't argue"
