Today we are playing for the AAU playoff season. My team is fire. We've been practicing for the past few weeks so i'm doing good.

We've won 4 games in playoffs and this is our last playoff game to determine if we can win the championship. i'm nervous because this matters to our team a lot and we wanna win.

We from jog out of the locker room and onto the court. I hear loud cheers. I adjust my Beats and start warming up. I looked over and saw my best friend Chantel shooting her 3.

I look through the crowd and see my dad, PG (Paul George), Melo, LaVar, Gelo, and my mom. They were all sitting together so i waved.

I looked on the other side of the bleachers and saw Josh, Shareef, Shaqir, and Caleb. I just roll my eyes.

I take my Beats off and sit them on our bench. I walk up to Chantel and do our classic game hand shake.

•••

It's 4th quarter and we're in the lead by 3 points. So that means the other team can easily catch up. Referees are cheating us out and not calling fouls.

Chantel passes me the ball. I drive to the goal and a big girl that's #7 charged me. I fell to the floor with a large thud.

I quickly get up.

"What the fuck ref that was a charge!" I say angrily walking up to the referee.

Brooke another one of my teammates hold me back so i won't get a technical.

"It was a charge. She's playing with defense." Referee says.

I smacked my lips as their crowd chanted, 'overrated'.

Me being me I chanted with them and my team caught on and did it with me. As #7 shot her free throws.

She made 3 means we were tied. We only had 10 seconds left our team had to do something quick.

Chantel dribbled the ball down the court. I was getting double teamed so i couldnt shoot a 3 pointer like the plan was.

Both of the girls were really on me. They were super SUPER close to me. I held my hands up so ref wouldn't call a foul on me.

The girls bodies pushing on me i started to get annoyed. So I keep my hands up and used my shoulder to move the girl in front of me out of the way.

I pushed the girl in front of me with my shoulder and she pushed me back. Still me keeping my hands up. Refs blew the whistle and separated us.

•••

4th quarter was on our team was hitting shots. The other team was hitting shots. So they were right behind us.

14.6 seconds left on the clock we're still tied. The other team has possession of the ball. The goal is to play defense but not foul them. If you foul them the game is automatically over.

The girl comes down the court i guard her. I keep my hands behind my back so ref won't call a foul.

5.7 seconds left. They still have the ball. They kept passing it back and forth. As the girl tried to pass it and ran in between them and i had a break through.

The crowd cheers as i run to the goal. As i was gonna go for layup #7 again comes behind me and pushes me away from the goal.

As I fell on the floor i quickly got up to push her back.

"What the fuck is your problem!" I yelled at her but obviously the crowd couldn't here because of the voices.

"You ain't shit!" She grinned at me.

I ran to charge at her but Chantel pulled me back. The ref blew whistles.

Chantel pulled me till we got to the other side of the court.

"Ay man it's not worth it." She told me.

"Did you see her big ass charge me 2 times and the ref don't say shit? I'm pissed bro." I said.

"Look relax.. we really don't need you to get called out of this game. We bout to win a championship baby. Chill." She said.

I nodded at her.

We did our handshake and walked back to our bench. To see our coach giving instructions.

"Great Jaedyn you're back! Now the ref called a foul on #7. So now the game is now on you." Coach said truthfully.

"Alright." I say walking back onto the court at the free throw line.

I hear the 'overrated' chants come back.

I shot my 2 free throws which meant we were now in the lead.

2.1 seconds on the clock other team has possession. The girl runs to half court and shoots the shot.

I heard the buzzer but i also heard a 'swoosh' which meant she made it.

Then all of their fans start cheering. My eyes stung. I put my jersey over my eyes to show i wasn't crying but it was obvious.

I skipped giving the other team a hand shake and went to the locker room.

I sat in my chair and continued to cry with my jersey covering my face catching the tears. I felt arms wrap around me. I instantly knew it was my dad.

"Hey! Hey! It's okay kid." He said rubbing my head.

I just sobbed.

Ik you probably thinking why you crying? It's just a game. Well it's not just a game to us. I take this to the heart.

"Look kid.. you win some. You lose some." My dad said simply.

"Y'all did a great job keeping up with them and that's all that matters." He said.

I pull of out the hug and smile.

"Thanks daddy."
