Justin Melton, Fight for the love of his Childhood Best friend...
I made my way to my favorite street Basketball court. Where I started my favorite Past time, playing street basketball with my childhood friends. I’m here at Angeles, Pampanga. It’s been a 9 months since I get here. Well, I'm been busy with my career as a Professional Basketball Player at The PBA. And this year I been drafted by the Brgy. Ginebra San Miguel Gin Kings. I’m Jett Manuel. 24 years old. I finished and accomplish all I could for UP In the UAAP. I got my Civil Engineering License. When I get there the street Basketball court was surrounded my many people. Like betting for someone who’s strong. Who is the best? Look likes we have a competitor on basketball. I saw Harry at the side.
"What's going on." I said.
"Jett, dude, how are you? Oliver been beaten by a girl know how to play basketball. She’s really good." Harry said.
"I'm fine. Really? That's hard to believe. No one can beat us." I said.
He’s Harry Lim. I have this confidences. I look at the half court. What the hell. The girl I beautiful even without make up on. If you’re asking if we have our rivalry? Yes we have. But we hardly see each other, or even play with each other.

She wear a sport’s bra. And sport short black. She got her hair tied up. And some sport shoes black. She’s pretty cute with that outfit. It really showing her sexiness. And she’s hot.
"That will be the her last shot." Harry said.
"Oliver will steal that ball in the palm off her hand." I said. I'm having this confidence on our team.
"Are you day dreaming dude? Look at the score board. The score is 4-0 leading score is the girl. The girl always steal the ball. Like it was easy to do. It’s like one mistake will lead you turn over And a Victory on the other Side." Harry said.
I was shock. Then I look at the score board. And he's not mistaken. He's right. Now, I'm interested on this girl. That's beaten my friend on the game they master. The girl dribble the ball. Drive on the left, on right. Then Stop in full speed. Ankle breaker. It was a good fake. It’s like she born as a street basketball player. Drive at the left fast. That was really fast. And lay up for good. I see Oliver, in shock. Still sitting on the ground. Without a sweat. Only professional can do that. But how did she do it? That ankle breaker is like a professional. And you will slip down and shock you, or it will paralyze you.
"I win." The girl said. I saw her. There's no sweat forms on her face.
I see the girl at front of Oliver. The girl offer her hand, but Oliver has a pride, that when he lose, he will not look for help. That’s why he stand up by himself.
"Fine, you win. Here’s your money. It’s a good game. I want a rematch. But soon." Oliver said.
She just smile at Oliver that show her dimple. She’s cute. That’s Oliver Madrigal, the best point guard in Angeles, Pampanga. Something tell me that I want to battle this girl to see what she can do more. She get the money and get the ball on the ground.
"I want to challenge you. One on one." I said.
The girl laid her eyes on me. All of their eyes to be exact. But ours, lock on each other. Then smile at me.
"Sure. What can I get when I win?" The girl said. She spin it in her tip without any movement.
"You can have 5k.” I said.
"Sound good enough. If you win, I will return all of the money of your friends. The Rules are simple. Half Court. If who will shot five times, wins. No dirty plays. Before I forgot. I’m Sky. " Sky said.
She get the ball and dribble it. And go at the half court line without a notice. She shoot the ball in an arc. And basket. Wow. Who is she? Then the game starts. After my four shot, I been observing her. Its 4-0, I lead. Like she's not giving the best of it. This is not I expected. Now, it’s her turn. It’s like there’s going to happen. I can feel it and I’m not liking it. Then she smile at me while dribble the ball.
"Don't underestimate me, dude. You can't see want I can do. I just give you a hope. And it’s time to crush that hope." Sky said.
Dribble fast and her action made me confuse. What the hell? Is she a professional player? After a few minutes. The girl scores like a piece of cake. 4-5 is the score.
"I win." Sky said.
I get near at Harry. Get my wallet and phone. I get the 5k. And gave it to her.
"Here. It’s nice game." I said.
"No, thank you. I have enough from your friends. Nice meeting you here, Jett Manuel. But I have to go." Sky said. She run then out of my sight. How did she know my name?
"That really a brave, dude. You got to score 4 on her. Every one challenge her. Even me. But no one score. Not even one." Harry said. Getting my attention.
"Who is she? I think she just give me hope then crush it." I said.
"She's new here. She just arrive yesterday with her father. When we see her in the court. The little ones. Help her. The kids, is happy to see her shoot without a sweat. With the ball. She shot the ball with an arc. One feet at the time. Until she get at the half court. And it been perfect. No miss shot." Sander said.
He’s Sander Ford. Serious one among us.
"We all know she’s good. From her shots with an arc. I mean really good. But we can’t say that first. So I challenge her first. But she win. She didn’t even let me score." Wesley said.
It’s Wesley Peters. And Oliver Chavez.
"Then me, but she wins again. Not letting me too." Sander said.
"Me too, but she wins again. Then Oliver here, with a proud look, challenge her. But lose to her. In the blink of an eye." Harry said
"That’s not really my day today. Don’t make fun of me, dude." Oliver said.
I hear them complaining, I look at the direction where she vanish. Soon I will see who she really was
