Yn POV
August 5th, 2018
Dad got a new job so once again we gotta move. I'm so sick of moving places. We moving to some place called Crenshaw Heights. They better have a good Basketball team out here because I don't play that. I'm 15 years old and back in Atlanta I played for the best high school team ever. I was a freshman and by my senior year I was planning to be the best ever. I was helping take things in the house when I saw 3 boys playing basketball.
Mom: One last box Yn then you can go play!
Nick: She always trying to play she trash anyway
Yn: Shut up! You just mad you can't play
Nick: Yeah sure! I be letting you win
Yn: Haha! Only person who's ever came close to beating me is August
August: Close girl I let you win
Yn: Yeah whatever! Can I go play now mom
Mom: Yeah but just for a little bit then you have to come unpack
Yn: okay mom
I ran inside and put on my play shoes and my dads hat and walked next door. Once I walked up the boys didn't see me they were talking....
Chris: Swish! That's Horse!
Tyga: You can't make that!
Trey: Watch me!
Chris: You guys are too easy!
Trey: Just wait till, I get big like Kareem
Chris: You want to be like Kareem?
Chris: All his big butt do is stand by the basket!
Trey: so I'll be blocking your stuff!
Chris: Yeah, right!
Then they all started laughing and looking at me. I slowly walked up..
Tyga: Hey, look Chris!
Trey: I thought you said only a girl our age was moving in?
Chris:That's what my mom said
Tyga: Hope he can ball
Chris: Bet he's a scrub like Trey!
Trey: Shut up!
Yn:Can I play?
Tyga: No!
Chris: You nice?
Yn: Yeah, I'm nice!
Chris: All right, You and Trey against me and Tyga
I nodded my head and went to take off my hat and getting ready to play. Once I took off my hat the one name Tyga said..
Tyga: Oh, man!
Yn: What?
Trey: He is a girl!
Chris: Girls can't play no ball!
I rolled my eyes and looked at them..
Yn: Ball Better than you!
I rolled my eyes as we got ready to play these boys were clowns and they thought they were all that but I'm going to show them how we play in the A!
Chris POV
Yn was cute I can't lie but she looks like a little boy and  I like my girls girly.I'm finna show her how we play ball down here! I looked at her and me and Tyga started laughing at her......
Chris: What a dog!
Tyga: She heard you.
Chris: She can only hear dog whistles!
She rolled her eyes and grab the ball from me...
Yn:Check!
Chris: Check!
She grabbed the ball and started dribbling to the net and cross me up and made the shot. Trey started laughing and pushing me...
Trey: Damn! She dogged you, man!
Chris: Shut up!
She walked pass me giving me the ball and holding up one finger laughing...
Yn: One-zip!

Chris: Lucky!
Then our game started for some reason today I was missing all my shots and she was making all of hers. I shot the ball and it air balled and she took the ball and started laughing...
Chris: Damn!
I pushed Tyga out of the way and started guarding her..
Chris: I got her
She looked at me and smiled..
Yn: Told you I was nice! I'm gonna be the first girl in the NBA!
Chris: I'll be in the NBA! You'll be my cheerleader!
Then she passed the ball to Trey and pushed me and ran to the hoop to get the ball but I beat her there and I pushed her and she fell on the ground and cut her cheek on a small rod in the ground. My mom came outside and saw it and made the boys go home and made me come inside. Yn looked at me one last time and went home. I felt bad but my mom started yelling at me.
Mom: Christopher go in that house and write a apology note you don't push nobody!
Chris: mom I swear it was a mistake!
Mom: mistake my ass! Go now! I'm going to the store I'll be right back! You better be finish when I get back!
Chris: ok mom
I rolled my eyes and went to get some paper and a pencil. It was honestly an accident so I don't see why I gotta do this. I couldn't stop thinking about Yn she was so beautiful! Tomboy and all!
Yn POV
I went in the house and showed my mom my face. She took me into the bathroom and looked at it. She got a wash cloth and started cleaning my face. My brothers and my dad came in while she washing my face off.
August: Oh, God!
Nick:Ewww!
Yn: Be quiet!
Dad:How you feeling, munchkin?
I smiled at him and put a thumbs up..
Dad: Mane,You tough!
Mom: She needs to stop running around like a boy!
Dad: She's all right! She reminds me of you!
I rolled my eyes at my mom and moved my face so she could give me the rag. She always complained because I liked basketball and boy stuff but I don't care she was the same way before she had me and my brothers.
Mom: Looking the way she does? I wanted her to not be like me!
Dad: Monica, she'll be fine!
Then he pecked my cheek and went into the living room to unpack. I looked at my mom in the mirror and she looked disgusted.
Mom:Let me find you some gauze!
I smiled at my scare on my face. Chris was so cute and that's all I could think about was him. I think I like him.
Chris POV
My mom made me sit here and write this apology note for Yn. When she left for the store I sat on the couch and wrote the note while watching tv. She came back in with a cake and some balloons. I rolled my eyes and looked at her. She give me a mean look and pointed to the tv.
Mom: Tv off now!
Chris: But mom
Mom: But nothing Christopher finish that note now!
Then she walked into the kitchen and sat everything up. I grabbed my pencil and paper and turned around and started back on my note. Then my dad walked in and kissed my mom on the lips and smiled at her.
Dad: Girl, who you trying to fool?
I picked up a sheet of paper and made a paper ball and threw it at my dad.
Chris:Alley-oop, dad
Mom rolled her eyes and pointed at my apology note.
Mom: Boy! New neighbors
Dad caught the paper and laughed and I started back on my apology note.
Mom:Really?
Dad: See, Chris, this is how your moms caught me with the old fake and bake.
Mom laughed and rolled her eyes playfully.
Dad: Thought I was catching a sister who could burn.
Then they started kissing. My mom and dad had a weird relationship so when they tried to be lovey and happy it was strange to me.
Chris: I can't do this shit
Mom turned around and looked at me with big eyes and dad looked at me...
Dad: Boy, what did I tell you about using that word?
He walked over to me and looked at me..
Chris: "Can't" should never be in a man's vocabulary
Dad: And why not?
Chris: Cause when you say "can't", you ain't a man.
He smiled at me and give me a high five and my mom hit her hand on the counter.
Dad: That's right
Mom: Dwayne
He looked at her confused and she looked at him and pointed to me..
Dad: What? Oh, yeah!
He threw the paper ball at my head and laughed
Dad: And Don't say shit!
Mom laughed and rolled her eyes
Mom:Come on! We should head on over
Dad:Just you and Chris, baby I got a meeting
Mom:With who?
Dad: Some business folks
Mom looked disappointed and upset.
Mom: You just got back from a four-game road trip
Dad: Honey, please don't start bitching I got maybe two years left to play
Dad: I'm trying to put some things together for us
She smiled and nodded her head and kissed his lips and picked up the cake and balloons.
Dad: See you later, man
Dad: Be good I love you
Chris: I love you, Dad
Mom grabbed everything and me and her walked out the door. Dad walked out behind us and locked the door. We walked next door and knocked on the door. A boy answered and I saw Yn behind him holding a dog. I smiled at her.
Yn POV
When August opened the door and I saw Chris and I got happy. I put Lola down and she ran to the door.
Aug: Mama somebody at the door! Back up Lola!
He picked Lola up and then he let them in and my mom came from around the corner. She smiled and walked over.
Chris mom: Hey, I was coming over to give you these things and apologize for my sons actions early
Mom: Oh it's fine thank you so much and I'm Monica and this is my daughter Yn
Chris mom: I'm Camille and this is my son Chris
They shook hands and Chris kept looking at me and looking away.
Mom:So how long have y'all been here?
Chris Mom: We moved back here when Chris was about five after Dwayne was traded again
My mom smiled at her..
Chris mom: The neighborhood was a little more mixed then
Chris mom: Before the black people down the street became the black people next-door OK?
Mom half laugh and barely give her a high five. Chris mom peeped it and started starching her hair.
Mom: Thank you so much again
Mom: This was terribly nice of you, Camille
She smiled at her
Chris mom: Girl, don't worry about it
Chris mom: It's the least I could do I love to cook!
Chris looked at his mom like she was lying and I giggled a little bit...
Mom: You do? I love to cook to but I also love ball!
Chris mom: You used to play ball?
Mom: Yes, but once Quincey gets settled in and kids get everything together I plan to open my own business with baking and cooking.
Mom tried to touch my hair and hug me and I moved because it was embarrassing.
Chris mom:Do you know as long as I have lived next-door I have never seen the inside of this house?
Mom: Let's just have a look
Mom: Honey, put that on the table
Chris mom: Chris, help her.
Mom give me the cake and they walked away and I walked over to the table to sat the cake down when chris took some icing of the cake. I looked at him and took some to and licked my hands and finger and sat the cake down. He looked at me and smiled
Chris: So how come you can play basketball?
I shrugged my shoulders and got a napkin.
Yn: I just can
Chris: I never knew a girl that can play
Yn: Momma says I get it from her that's why she give me these but she say I act different because ball is all I talk about
I showed him my shoes and he nodded.
Chris: Your dad play?
Yn: He used to but now he works as a coach for middle school ball
Chris:My dad plays for the Clippers
Chris: He says I'm gonna be a doctor or a lawyer but I'm gonna play for them same number and everything.
Yn: I'm gonna be number 32 like magic just like my mom
Chris:He's all right but my dad can take him
Yn: What was the most points your daddy ever got?
Chris: I don't know! A lot
Yn:Well, one game, Magic scored 80 points they only had six-minute quarters and he sat out the whole fourth quarter
Chris: You do act different!
Yn: I don't care!
Chris: If anybody messes with you just let me know, cause I run this streets
Yn: I'll just tell my brothers Aug or nick
Chris: I bet they don't know how to box my dad taught me how to fight like Ali
Yn:I know karate from Almighty Isis
Chris: Bet you can't do this, though
He kicked his leg and I did the same thing.
Chris: How about this?
He kicked his leg again and I did my mines higher and we both laughed. Few minutes after he left with his mom and my mom made me go unpack my room. I finish setting it up how I wanted it and I took a shower and washed my hair.
