The Boy Next Door | LaMelo Ball

|30|

The next day, LaMelo and I decided on picking spots after each period to meet up at.

We have two out of six classes together, Math and Physical Education.

After fourth period I go to lunch.

LaMelo has second lunch so the next time I'll see him is during sixth period PE.

Lucky for me I have lunch with Giselle and a few other girls from the team.

We all eat together and talk about the upcoming season.

"I overheard Coach saying that she may replace Zuri's starting point guard spot with you Joslyn!" My teammate Michelle says.

"What, for real?" I take a bite of my meatball sub.

"Yep, she liked what she saw from last season, so she wants you as our starting point guard." Michelle replies.

I smile to myself.

"Who doesn't want their chocolate milk?" I asked.

My other teammate Robin hands me her milk.

LaMelo🏀 hey

Me hi

Lamelo🏀 wyd? You're at lunch right?

Me yeah, why?

LaMelo🏀 just wondering

LaMelo🏀 gtg, my teachers coming

I leave LaMelo on read and I continue to talk to my friends.

I see Michelle and Giselle look up at something behind me but I ignore that. 

A few seconds later I feel hands over my eyes.

"Guess who?" The voice says.

I smile and I turn around to see LaMelo.

He sits next to me and he puts an arm around my lower back and he kisses my cheek.

"Hey beautiful," LaMelo says making me blush.

"Why are you here, don't you have class?"

"I told my teacher I had to pee and he let me leave the class," LaMelo responds. 

"Oh," I respond.

"You guys are so cute, you have to make sure you take pictures together!" Michelle says pointing to our matching shirts.

LaMelo hangs out with us for a few more minutes before going back to class.

During sixth period's passing period I meet up with LaMelo.

We walk to the locker room together and then we part ways into the girls and guys locker room.

I change into my PE clothes and I wait for LaMelo by the guys locker room.

This guy named Will comes out and he looks me up and down.

"Hey Joslyn!" He smiles.

"Hey Will," I smile back at him.

"Oh, you know my name?" He asked.

I nod my head.

Will smiles again before walking away.

A few minutes, Melo walks out of the locker room.

We go inside of the gym and play basketball while we wait for our teacher.

LaMelo has his main group of friends that hang out with him and I only have myself.

At first I felt awkward being the only girl, but then I come out of my shell.

LaMelo's friends are pretty cool.
